EXCITING NEWS for everyone who has been waiting to get tested for
M Y C O P L A S M A S !
At long last the anticipated grand opening of Dr. Nicolson's new commercial laboratory:
INTERNATIONAL MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS, INC. (IMD)
- MYSTERIOUS MYCOPLASMAS were nearly undetectable until Dr. Nicolson employed a DNA analysis technique called Forensic Polymerase Chain Reaction. Dr. Nicolson and other researchers are finding high percentages in victims of many diseases whose causes are unknown. Researchers believe that mycoplasmas may be the cause or cofactors in the following diseases:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Gulf War Illness
Fibromyalgia
Rheumatoid Arthritis
AIDS
Lupus
Scleroderma
Auto immune disorders
Asthma
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Multiple Sclerosis
Sarcoidosis
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Wegener's Disease
Kiku-chi's disease
- INTERNATIONAL MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS, INC. is now certified to take all
insurance:
Medicare
Medi-Cal
CHAMPUS
& all other insurance
- SUFFERING PATIENTS can now get tested who previously could not afford other laboratories because they did not accept their insurance.
- ACCURATE RESULTS - Many patients have been waiting for this opportunity because Dr.Nicolson's laboratory has had an excellent track record in finding mycoplasma infections. Their system of doing the blood tests twice to check the results prevents the hardship to patients who might receive false negatives from other laboratories.
- MYCOPLASMA CAN BE A FAMILY DISEASE - It is important for patients and their families to be tested because if left untreated, the infections could spread to family members and co-workers.
- FULL SERVICE LABRORATORY - The laboratory has expanded its services to include other blood tests. They will be offering all routine chemistry, endocrinology, HIV testing, etc. but will also offer specialty testing for Mycoplasmas, Chlamydia pneumonia and is now a full service REFERENCE laboratory. They will be adding new and innovative blood tests in the near future.
- BEST BARGAIN - Their PCR "four in one" Mycoplasma test for only $250 is a bargain because it could cost up to $600 at other laboratories.
- FAST RESULTS - The staff has been greatly expanded to guarantee fast test results.
- PETS - Mycoplasma blood tests are also available for pets.
- FOR PRICE, INSURANCE INFORMATION & TYPES OF TESTS AVAILABLE please call:

INFORMATION FOR SHIPMENT OF BLOOD SAMPLES
Blood (10 cc) should be collected in purple-top (contains EDTA) tubes, mixed and quickly cooled with wet ice and then frozen with DRY ICE. The blood tubes should be labeled (patient's full name, date of birth, and date), sealed in a plastic zip-lock bag and placed in a styrofoam insulated container together with DRY ICE (enough to last during the shipment).
At the same time, seal the Order Form in a separate plastic bag and place it in the container together with the blood sample. The Informed Consent Form, Illness Survey Form and your check (or credit card information) can be sent separately by regular mail.
Your name, return address and your telephone number should be shown on the outside of the container.
Ship the container by overnight express courier (such as Federal Express) for next day delivery to:
International Molecular Diagnostics, Inc.
15162 Triton Lane
Huntington Beach, CA 92649-1041.
Tel: 714-799-7177
Please make sure it will arrive between Monday and Friday.
Foreign Shipment: In additional to the shipment form, you need to fill out a customs declaration. It might be on the same form as a separate part. This declaration has to contain the following information:
"Human blood sample for diagnostics. Non-infectious!" in the field about the contents.
If this information is missing, U.S. customs will check the box with a delay of at least 2 days. After that time, we are unable to detect the mycoplasmas in the blood samples! For a fast customs check, a correctly labeled box is required. You can use the label below in addition to the customs declaration.
