      Thanks for the website jazzy. I am going to do a few of these. I wish giardia and crypto were available.
      I have already tested positive for Toxoplasmosis.

            Are all labs testing antibodies equally accurate? When other posters have mentioned American doctors sending samples to the CDC: is this antibody tests as well?

            The equivalent tests in the UK are too expensive, unless I can pinpoint one or two and be certain the results will be accurate...

              Many of those are on the Metametrix profiles - did you get one of those?


              Have you asked your GP to do the tests? Or refer you to a specialist?

                Has anyone done the MetaMetrix blood tests and got a positive for something?

                Have anyone tested with MetaMetrix after it had joined with Genova Diagnostics?
