John Lentz
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 ».[1]
La Floride a finalement révoqué la licence médicale de John Lentz, “Lyme literate” docteur, qui a perfectionné ses compétences diagnostiques et ses traitements dans des séminaires de l'ILADS et a traité la "Lyme chronique" pendant presque une décennie.[2]

Florida finally revoked the medical license of “Lyme literate” doctor John Lentz, who honed his diagnostic skills and treatments in ILADS seminars and treated “chronic Lyme” for almost a decade.
Why does the system allow this?

The Florida Medical Board has revoked the medical license of John Luther Lenz, M.D. after concluding that he had improperly diagnosed and unjustifiably treated seven patients with Lyme disease, Bartonellosis (a bacterial infection), and/or Babesiosis (a parasitic infection) and failed to keep adequate records. The charges were made in three administrative complaints. The first and second complaints each involved one patient, and the third complaint (shown below) involved five patients. In July 2016, following hearings, an administrative law judge concluded that Lentz was guilty of "repeated malpractice" and recommended that the Board revoke Lentz's license and impose a $30,000 fine plus costs. In November 2016, the Board accepted this recommendation.
Lentz practiced in Destin, Florida. In 2009, when he was medical director for Aluwe LLC, the FDA ordered the company to stop representing that its flagship product, Germ Slayer, was effective against Lyme disease, Borellia, malaria, and many other diseases. During Lentz's association with Aluwe, the company's Web site represented him as one of the world's leading authorities on Lyme disease. The company is no longer active.
Attorney Jann Bellamy has posted a brilliant discussion of the problem of so-called "Lyme literate" doctors who improperly diagnose patients with "chronic Lyme disease" and administer prolonged antibiotic treatment.
