In this video i discuss the most known and accepted way to test for lyme disease. It is called the two tier test involving first the Elisa, and if it is positive, then the western blot.

The unreliability of these tests for detecting active lyme is why the CDC has said lyme should be diagnosed clinically, by symptoms and history of exposure. When doctors don't do that many people go on to become chronically ill.

I want to help you understand what to look for if you get a western blot test with a negative result. There are clues on the test which can indicate you do in fact have a positive result even though the official finding is "negative".

There are 9 identified bands specific to Lyme disease – 18, 23-25, 31, 34, 37, 39, 83 and 93.

Doctor Horowitz explains that the following bands are Lyme specific. If you have one of these, you have been exposed to Lyme bacteria.

23
31
34
39
83/93

9 are cross-reactive for Borrellia.

12 specific for Bb

18 highly specific to Lyme (Many lyme doctors say if this band alone is positive, you have lyme )

20 cross-reactive for Borrellia

21 unknown

22 specific for Bb, it is assumed to really be the 23/25 band

23-25 specific for Bb

28 unknown

30 unknown; thought to be an outer surface protein; common in European and one California strain

31 specific for Bb

34 specific for Bb

35 specific for Bb

37 specific for Bb

38 cross-reactive for Bb

39 is a major protein of Bb flagellin; specific for Bb ( a flagellin is a tail end of a spirochete, the lyme bacteria)

41 flagellin protein of all spirochetes; this is usually the first to appear after a spirochete infection but is NOT specific to Lyme (other spirochete diseases have flagellas)

45 cross-reactive for all Borellia

50 cross-reactive for all Borrellia

55 cross-reactive for all Borrellia

57 cross-reactive for all Borrellia

58 unknown but may be a heat-shock Bb protein??

60 cross reactive for all Borrellia

66 cross-reactive for all Borrelia, common in all bacteria

83 specific antigen for the Lyme bacterium

93 unknown, probably the same protein in band 83, just migrates differently in some patients
