Has anyone successfully been treated with Invanz ABX?
I recently saw another LLMD. He had some strange practices to be sure. He saw the positive IgeneX test but said even IgeneX can be wrong. He said the progression of my symptoms was too fast to be Lyme. He then tried to tell me about the wonders of NAET therapy. He said he knows it sounds hokey but it really works. Mind you, this is an MD that works at a hospital. He did take a full history and look over all my records etc. At the end though I asked him about this NAET some more. It sounded suspect to me. He proceeded to show me a little of how it "works".
Try to imagine this (especially since I had to pay $600 just to see him). He would have me extend my arm out in font of me. He wanted me to resist when he pushed my arm down. He would then ask me questions like "Do you have MS?" or "Do you have Lyme?" or "Would such and such an ABX work for you?" as he pushed my arm down. weather or not my arm could be pressed down would give him a YES or NO.
Here, better yet, here is a video of what I mean.

Now mind you, this doc is the last LLMD on the list of LLMDs in my area so I was pretty des[erate at this point. based on his "tests" he then said I have MS and Lyme. He wanted me to do these NAET treatments etc. I told him I wasn't interested and if he thought I had Lyme based on my IgeneX and symptoms I would rather treat with ABX. I know ABX is a rough course of action but i am desperate to get better. Given the experience I had with him I am a bit worried to try these ABX but I have no other LLMds to see. He was the only one even willing to treat me. He claims he has successfully treated Lyme with ABX with other patients and surprisingly he has very good online ratings.
So, very long story short: Has anyone successfully been treated with Invanz ABX?
I would try to keep treating herbaly for several more months since you can't really know when you've cleared it all out.
Thanks!
