Some of you are familiar with microbiologist Holly Ahern whose daughter had Lyme - she has been a great advocate:

Excerpt:

"Better testing being developed by Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), in which DNA is tested to detect the presence and severity of Lyme disease, is expected to be ready in about two years, he said."

Great news. Even if somebody feels like they killed the bug we will be able to test to make sure that we r clean.

Two years feel like eternity. I wish they could fast track it.

I quickly read through the article.

So, how is it different from the DNA test that Igenex uses now? (the PCR test)

Anyone know?
