Abstract: 

In her defence of the alternative views on Lyme disease diagnosis behind Bill C-442, Zubek1 is certainly right to focus on the patients in her response to CMAJ’s article on Lyme disease.2 Many people who are under the impression that they have Lyme disease based on alternative approaches to diagnosis are disabled and in need of an open-minded approach to care. What will not help is a flawed diagnosis.
