Yet another reason the tests are woefully and dangerously outdated:

"Standard Lyme disease test kits cannot diagnose as yet unrecognized borrelial strains of Lyme, says Dr. Lee"

I think there are over 100 strains of Lyme yet the current Western Blot only tests for one strain....and the IGenex tests for 2 strains.

Clinical diagnosis once again.

Thanks for sharing, P!

Progress just doesn't come fast enough with these infections.
