The five sections are labeled DRB1, DQ, DRB3, DRB4, and DRB5. First, you find the first two numbers listed in each of the five sections of the lab results and convert them using a simple set of rules. Rapaport was already looking into HLA-DR. I don’t have those videos, but I do have notes that others took of the conference. Shoemaker himself commented that HLA-DR testing is questionable. Sean also points out that in the 2016 Irvine Mold Conference that Dr. Given this, she seriously questioned the usefulness of HLA-DR testing. For example, 90% of folks in Belgium have at least one “bad” halplotype. Race, country, and ethnicity all play a role. At 10:30 in that presentation, she discusses the fact that the number of people that have a susceptible haplotype is much higher than the 24% reported by Dr. Sonia Rapaport presented at the International Conference on Chronic Pathologies.
In Parasites & CIRS Update, I mentioned that HLA-DR testing has fallen out of favor. In response, I wrote this blog hoping that it might make interpreting test results easier. Shoemaker, I still felt like I was making it overly complicated – not good for “moldy” people with impaired brain function. Even though I tried to improve upon the wording of the original Rosetta Stone developed by Dr. In that blog, I presented the “Rosetta Stone” (key) for interpreting the lab results. I wrote about the significance of this test in the blog “ Are You Moldy”. It’ll also tell you if you’re susceptible to getting Chronic Fatigue, a nasty nasal infection called MARCoNS, or tend toward too low MSH (master control hormone) along with if you should avoid the Lymerix or Gardasil vaccines.
HLA DR is a simple blood test that is done to determine if you’re one of the 24% of the population that has genes that are susceptible to getting very sick from the super tiny “biotoxins” (bio meaning from living organisms) and inflammagens (agents that cause inflammation) that are naturally made by certain molds, Lyme, blue-green algae, some actinobacteria, a few types of reef fish, and the bite of the brown recluse spider.
