TESTING FOR MYCOPLASMAS
Testing for mycoplasmas is much harder and more complicated than testing
for all other bacteria, which is one of the main reasons conventional
medical practitioners mis-diagnose or miss these types infections.
The most reliable testing method offered today is with a lab test called
a PCR test (Polymerase Chain Reaction). Even performing a PCR lab test
on a standard whole blood sample ***may not find the mycoplasma,***
simply because the mycoplasma may be residing in other fluids and
tissues in the body and not the blood (i.e.; the fluid in the joints, in
the spinal fluid, or in any tissue cell like heart, liver, pancreas,
endocrine organs, etc.).
A PCR test is generally performed by specific mycoplasma species. These
laboratory tests can be expensive, but are insurance reimburseable if
ordered by your primary care physician. Specific mycoplasma PCR tests
are available through these companies, both of which have more
information on mycoplasmas in general and testing at their websites:

I don't know if you can test for mycoplasma or not, but if you have
mucous you have it. It is around all the time and thrives in mucous.
Culturing sputum can tell you something is there but not in what
quantity. You can get positives on Candida, Aspergillus, Penicillium and
still not know if they are over growing or simply there in a normal
ratio, we all have pathogenic organsims in out bodies all the time. The
point at which they make us ill is hard to determine since we can't
accurately count organisms.
Nebulizing with CS and DMSO will knock out all of the above. Add MSM and
it will help restore elasticity to the lung tissue. Take MSM orally as
well. 2,000-8,000 mg a day divided. I nebulize every hour when I have a
lung infection.
