Re: Egaten + Ivermectin

Hi.
It sounds like transportation is a problem or you possibly live in a different country. The fasciola ELISA test kits that I found were in the $325 and above range.

At parasitic.com there are many elisa tests that are offered. You can call them and ask for more details. I took the test yesterday at labcorp. It was $85 dollars because of a 10 dollar withdrawal fee. I think that is your cheapest and best bet. There were companies that sold the kits. They were much more expensive and a person would need to have someone withdraw the blood and send it back to them. Parasitic disease consultants were the cheapest that I found.

I reviewed what I wrote on my last post and I made a mistake on what I wrote. So, I would like to revise it kind of. Anyways, on pubmed the cathepsin L was the marker the elisa tests were using to diagnose the fasciola infection. I assume that would be the same one the parasitic disease consultants use, I'm not sure. Anyways, the cathepsin L should be there in the blood. When I was eluding to antigens not being presented to the immune system for eosinophil activation somehow I thought it was degrading the cathepsin L. Which I thought would affect the results of the test. But, that wasn't what the article was saying.

But, labcorp does consult with this lab. I ran the test yesterday. It's relatively inexpensive. I'm hopeful it will show a positive result.
