IGENEX LABS CERTIFICATION

At times I will hear untrained physicians and relatives of my pateints devalue IGeneX labs. They have made it clear that folks who feel ill, have a real reason for their suffering, and it is not just a psychiatric medication deficiency.

Some act like IGeneX is a bar and grill with a tick disease lab in the back. Yet if fact, it is the best tick-borne disease lab in the world. If I send certain positives or likely negative they come back fitting the symptoms or the high exposure perfectly. If someone has almost no exposure, they are virtually always negative. A few times I expected a negative and got a positive, and the patient recalled some trip to New England or the Carolinas.

Here is the CLIA Medicare and Medicaid license of IgeneX.

So the next time someone thinks IgeneX has no stature, give him or her a copy of this license. You do not get it for incompetence. Which is what I routinely see in huge national junk labs in which folks with a history of clear tick bites and perhaps a Lyme rash come back with negative results at week 4,6, 8 and 12 before treatment.
