'''John Lentz''' (nom complet John Luther Lenz), un « Lyme doctor ».

En novembre 2016, le Dr John Lentz, gérant de la « Clinique Lyme » de la ville de Destin en Floride a vu sa licence révoquée [10]. Là encore, de mauvaises pratiques médicales sont reprochées : des traitements antibiotiques prolongés sans justification thérapeutique, un traitement dangereux avec des anticoagulants, l’impossibilité d’obtenir les antécédents médicaux complets des patients, la non-réalisation des examens adéquats, la non-conservation des dossiers médicaux complets… Le jugement souligne que le praticien « ''semblait si focalisé sur la maladie de Lyme et ses possibles co-infections qu’il semblait ne pas prêter attention aux autres symptômes ou plaintes du patient'' ».<ref>https://www.pseudo-sciences.org/Les-Lyme-doctors-un-risque-pour-les-patientsLes « Lyme doctors » : un risque pour les patients.
