Well they noted that "chronic lyme" is used as a catch all for a variety of issues. If this person is being told they have chronic lyme, they are already seeing an alternative doctor of some sort and are most likely very aware of what you're saying. Traditional "western" doctors won't really recognize chronic lyme as a thing. There are a lot of people out there who are experiencing chronic fatigue issues and other problems that our medical system doesn't really have answers for. A lot of those people end up seeking alternative solutions if they can afford it because they need SOMETHING.
