There are what is known as very Lyme-specific bands, also known as “Lyme Bingo”(see Horowitz)
It is worth noting that presence of these bands indicates positive exposure to Lyme Borreliae…
Schaller MD, the world re-knowned scholar and researcher and former editor of the JAMA says this = positive exposure to the Lyme bacteria Borrelia Burgdorferi at the 31 kilo Dalton on the Western Blot. In fact this is the same strain used to make the vaccine. Here are my results from iGenex widely regarded as the best testing lab in America for Lyme and Co-Infection Diseases.
If a person has one “fingerprint band,” they have Lyme disease. These specific bands are the 18, 23, 25, 31, 34, 39, 83 or 93…if one of these bands is positive even once—Lyme is present.

My IgG and IgM Results on the IGeneX Western Blot
31 IgM = Positive
Clinical Significance
Notice how they say, “Presence of only one double starred band or indeterminate double starred bands may indicate clinical significance.”
Especially those with deeper neurological symptoms like me where even one single tick bite exposure can lead to the toxin and cytokine cascade that is full blown Lyme or MSIDS (see one of Horowitz’ many YouTube’d lectures).
But there are far too many people with all the Classic Symptoms with only limited blood antigens with all the clinical indications that are suffering and need relief via proper diagnosis and treatment.
Clinical Indications
- bulls eye rash
- infested area
- Classic Lyme Symptoms
My IgG Results For Good Measure
Notice how they say, “Presence of only one double starred band or indeterminate double starred bands may indicate clinical significance.” This is the best lab in the country (IGENEX) that says this.
For any Lyme-Literate MD LLMD/LLND or otherwise compassionate and understanding Health Care Professional this as a positive exposure for Borrelia Burgdorferi.
These are the antibodies the ones IGeneX calls “double-starred” as significant for Lyme
