16. I have a family member who has believed this "wellness industry"

Claim for many, many years. All her problems in life are because the “government” wouldn’t allow her to be treated for what she considered to be Lymes after living in an endemic area for a couple years.

This is, IMO, another prop up of the wellness movement that will result in no real relief for sufferers of this disease.
