Re: Please share your parasite lab experiences.
I would like to add some information about this:
Labs must be registered to do individual tests, which are highly regulated. It costs big money to build an inventory of testing modalities.
This results in the labs only identifying the things they are licensed to report. To report something unusual is opening up liability issues.
For example; say the lab reported giardia infection, and it was not part of the test inventory. Further, the doctor administered a drug, and the patient reacted to the treatment and died. The lab, clinic, doctor and who knows else could be on the hook for a law suite. In the end, the lab may be questioned about their findings,.....you see how this works?
Some independent researchers can stay in the grey areas by providing "documentation" which is only for the patient's own research, but can be very helpful when trying to find a causal factor in their illness. I have found these small operators to be most effective.
This is how I found out about my "fluke". It was a a small operator who has a large repertoire of bioelectic frequencies, that he uses diagnostically. It was quite impressive.
Of course, the doctors may dismiss these findings, but it sure helped me to understand [and later confirm] my symptoms. Shroom
