A Letter from IGeneX Labs CEO, Nick Harris (CA) I am pleased to announce that IGeneX, Inc. recently passed two inspections on September 7 and 8, 2005, for its biannual recertification from the State of California. A federal inspector also arrived simultaneously, indicating she was present due to the NY Times article August 23 which had made allegations against IGeneX laboratories. The inspection was intense, with a focus on the Western Blots which had been cited in the NY Times article. The lab has been fully recertified, and the inspectors clearly saw the allegations were without merit. Despite a volume of letters to the Times after the article by patients, groups, and doctors in support of IGeneX, nothing was printed by the Times. IGenex thanks all the Lyme community for your support. Perhaps the Times will relent and print another piece on this issue. Sincerely, Nick Harris CEO IGeneX Labs Palo Alto, California ***** [LymeInfoNote]: Below is a LymeInfo link to the August 23rd NY Times article "Unproved Lyme Disease Tests Prompt Warnings", referenced above. And for those with access, a direct link to the article at the NY Times web site: health.groups.yahoo.com/group/lymeinfo/message/2615 www.nytimes.com/2005/08/23/health/policy/23lyme.html Send letters to the Editor of the NY Times \online form\: www.nytimes.com/ref/membercenter/help/lettertoeditor.html

The Times is not a very balanced paper generally IMO so it doesn't surprise me that they would not practice balanced journalism in this article.

I'd be very surprised if they printed a retraction, but we'll see.......I'm not holding my breath though.
