TickBorne Panel

$1,200.00

This lab (Vibrant America) has the most comprehensive antibody (indirect) and DNA (direct) test for detection of Lyme and co-infections and provides the earliest identification between different tickborne disease. Patients often present with a range of non-specific symptoms that may be Lyme, or other conditions that have symptom overlap. Patients with diagnosed Lyme may also experience resurgence of symptoms, which might suggest co-infections. Co-infections are complex and should be included in an initial screen of Lyme and related illnesses. Scroll down to read more.

Product Description

“This is my favorite Tickborne test. It tests for many species of Borrelia that can create Lyme-like illness, as well as major bacterial and viral co-infections occurring with Lyme. For each infection it evaluates, it runs both an ImmunoWestern Blot (similar to a Western Blot but more advanced) and PCR tests. Its Borrelia burgdorferi Western Blot includes the traditional bands as well as additional bands that recent research has identified as the most accurate. The total cost is less than what most accurate labs charge for Borrelia burgdorferi evaluations alone. Its cost and high accuracy testing make it like no other test.” – Dr. Chelsea Azarcon
Lyme disease and other tickborne infections are complex diseases that require multidimensional treatments of the whole person, rather than just the infection. Infectious agents can cause a number of systemic and inflammatory symptoms and co-morbid conditions through depletion of the body’s natural antioxidant and immune defenses. Treating the infection is the first step in most cases, but supporting the body’s ability to detoxify and excrete waste and toxins is also critical to providing patients with a foundation on which to fully recover and heal, eventually.

Symptoms associated with tick borne illnesses can include:

  • Fever and/or chills Headache
  • Bell’s palsy
  • Neck stiffness Fatigue
  • Muscle or joint aches/pains
  • GI symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
  • Change in cognitive or psychological status
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Anemia
  • Enlarged, tender lymph nodes Rash
  • Painful abdomen
  • Dizziness or shortness of breath Numbness or weakness in limbs
