Why are my tests always negative. I know its Lyme according to a bodyscan done by a naturalist. I don't know what to start treating with. He recommends cats claw-serrapeptase-probiotics-grapefruit seed extract and kidney support, this is the same he gives to all lyme patients. Please help. tired of suffering

Lyme testing is not perfected yet.

What labs are you testing at? That makes a difference. And what test are you taking? Just the Elisa test or are you doing the Western Blot?

If you have a diagnosis from your doctor or naturalist, why don't you believe that person and why don't you begin with the treatment they have suggested?

Lyme diagnosis are many times a clinical diagnosis. Many here just went to the doc and the symptom list was enough to prove lyme as the diagnosis.

If you're doing a test that relies on antibodies - like the Western Blot, then testing positive means your immune system needs to be strong enough to mount a response...and produce the antibodies.

When we have lyme and co's, our immune system is often suppressed...not functioning optimally.
