Interesting you bring up Lyme Disease.
It’s a classic example of doctors refusing to believe a disease existed because they didn’t have an explanation for it. Therefore it must be “in the minds” of those suffering from it.
The cause and treatment of Lyme Disease was discovered very largely because residents of this area refused to accept the doctors’ magisterial pronouncements that they weren’t really sick.
But that’s a failure to do good science, not a failure of the science itself.

Absolutely! Even after it was known to exist, the medical doctor refused to prescribe the run-of-mill antibiotics to a woman I knew in Wallingford because he beieved it was "over-diagnosed". This was the early '80s. She suffered permanent heart damage and EXTREME fatigue (nothing like it, I know) from him trying to prove his point.
Off that example, it would be good if the U.S. medical establishment would import the anti-Rubella vaccine that was NOT made from a baby who died from a procured abortion.
