La ALJ a également trouvé que Lentz avait prescrit des antiparasitaires, des antipaludiques, des antiacides, des laxatifs, des formulations enzymatiques et des suppléments, sans justification médicale. En outre, il n'a pas respecté une loi de l'État exigeant la déclaration immédiate au ministère de la Santé des " maladies importantes pour la santé publique ", y compris la [[maladie de Lyme]].

La ALJ n'était pas d'accord avec le ministère de la Santé pour dire que le défaut de Lentz d'orienter les patients vers un spécialiste des maladies infectieuses était inférieur à la norme de soins :
:<big>la preuve n'était pas claire et convaincante qu'un médecin de premier recours [un généraliste] ne pourait pas diagnostiquer la [[maladie de Lyme]] ou la babésiose, en supposant qu'il ait pris les antécédents appropriés, mené un examen physique approfondi et, le cas échéant, ordonné les tests de laboratoire objectifs appropriés.</big>
Après avoir conclu que Lentz était coupable de «faute professionnelle répétée», la ALJ a recommandé la révocation de sa licence et l'amende. Parce que le Conseil de médecine a souscrit aux conclusions de la ALJ concernant des fautes professionnelles répétées, il n’avait pas le pouvoir discrétionnaire d’imposer une peine moindre que la révocation. En 2004, les floridiens ont approuvé à une écrasante majorité un projet de modification de la constitution de l’État, qui a ensuite été transposé dans la loi de Floride par une loi habilitante, appelée la «règle des trois fautes». La loi interdit aux médecins ayant trois ou plus d'incidents de faute professionnelle, prouvés par des preuves claires et convaincantes, d'être autorisés à exercer la médecine. Étant donné que les procédures devant le Conseil exigent des preuves fondées sur des «preuves claires et convaincantes», la décision rendue en l'espèce répondait aux exigences de la loi. D'après l'enregistrement audio des délibérations du Conseil, il s’agit de la première affaire des «trois fautes» que le Conseil a examiné, bien que je n’aie pas pu le confirmer. Évidemment, on espère que le Conseil parviendra à la même conclusion, même sans la règle des trois fautes, si elle était saisie de cette affaire flagrante.
