Thank you! It’s a lot of information to take in and try to make since of. I was contacted by someone who used the same company and our DNA matched like 15%. Turns out she was my grandfather’s child from a relationship outside his marriage. We compared notes and dates and that is what we came up with. She is now able to get to know her remaining half-siblings. Pretty cool!

It’s perplexing that some forum members on here are so readily dismissive. Considering that this forum is to help people who have been met with sceptical and dismissive doctors when trying to get treated with the antibiotic protocol.May 30, 2018 at 9:34 am #462174Shannan_LeeParticipantsorry didn’t mean to double post!🤪
May 30, 2018 at 9:41 am #462175Shannan_LeeParticipantMy grandfather is long dead but she is almost 70years old. It’s so interesting! I agree about skepticism and disbelief of some posters. Everyone can believe what they like, but it’s not right to try and make someone feel ridiculous for what they believe or find interesting.
May 30, 2018 at 9:46 am #462176lemonsParticipantThat’s amazing ! Hope I get a really strong match, I’m looking for my paternal side as my dad was adopted.
When I told him I was taking this test, he went ashen white. I think he’s concerned that all those business trips he used to go on may come back to haunt him.
I wasn’t surprised to learn that I’m 70% Irish / Italian, but the Baltic and Indian percentage was a shock. Not a drop of English.May 31, 2018 at 4:32 pm #462183Spiffy1ModeratorI want to do this test but this may sound crazy…I don’t want to learn anymore bad news. It seems like I always get the bad ones except for a select few I have escaped from. One day I will get brave and do it. Another problem I have with it is that they keep your DNA. Should this be bothersome?

The company I used doesn’t give you any health results, I was too scared to do that too ! When or if I decide to close my account with them, they destroy the DNA and guarantee not to pass it on to third parties.May 31, 2018 at 11:37 pm #462196Spiffy1ModeratorThank you, Lemons! I noticed in another post you achieved remission after about a year on AP. Do I remember correctly that you did not have an ra factor or anti Ccp? Are you still on the same dose?

Igenex IGM positive Lyme, minoMWFJune 1, 2018 at 2:06 am #462197lemonsParticipantI was not tested for CCP, a lot of hospitals in the UK don’t do it if your CRP and SED rates are elevated along with visible symptoms. I think it’s a budget thing as I was diagnosed at an NHS hospital. Initially, I insisted that a Lyme test was performed as my Rheumatoid Factor was negative and I lived near a tick infested deer park. The first one came back with borderline results. Because of this they sent another blood sample to Porton Down for a Western Blot test, but this was negative. UK tests aren’t very accurate apparently.
My CRP and SED rates began coming down after just 3 months on Minocin MR, they were in normal range not long after. I stopped all treatment four years ago, I would’ve carried on but my AP doctor wanted to see what would happen.As far as I’m aware there’s only one AP Doc in the UK, so I just went along and did what he recommended. -
