Hello, I'm looking for good labs that do very accurate parasite stool testing. The tests offered here in Toronto are microscope test which are not accurate to distinguish between some protozoa spp. So I need DNA test or antigen test. Thank you very much.

Did you ever find a lab that does this? I would also like to know.

Not sure where one can go for parasite testing, however, I don know through my own experience that if you use grapefruit seed extract oil in water, it will kill parasites in your system. I have use this when traveling aboard to 3rd world countries and have had much success. One can buy this product at any health food store. Good luck

A Parasitologist or any Internist... either could do these tests, BUT there is no test that is very accurate... It's usually only 25% accurate!

Bioman, I am pretty sure you accidentally typed "Try" Labs instead of the actual name, "Fry" Labs in Arizona. Here's the website, http://frylabs.com, and yes, they do detailed, comprehensive testing, and are known for their Lyme disease testing.

There are about 4 parasite testing labs that I know of that will definitely be definative. Here is one I have used recently, located in Arizona:

Parasitology Center Inc. 1-480-767-2522

parasitetesting.com

It is a good place to get started. God bless.

I used metametrix. They test for DNA in stool, so dead worms are okay as well. They test for bacteria and fungus too, but they are expensive. But they found an answer to my problem!

The only doctor left in the country performing colon wall swab/scape test using sigmoidscope and his own lab is Dr. Kevin Cahill in NY. MANY have finally found cures for their illnesses after years even decades of suffering. Standard medical stool testing will not pick up many parasites unless your stool is teaming with parasites. Parasites live on the colon wall beneath the mucus. This renowned doctor is nearing retirement. See him soon.

Genova Diagnostics (formerly Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab), Asheville, North Carolina has always been recommended by my practitioner.
