Skepticism is the questioning attitude towards knowledge, facts or
opinions that are stated as facts. Patients with Lyme Disease and

treatments. Physicians and nurses in the traditional medical community
often raise their eye brows if I mention the words Lyme Disease.
People I know question whether I am choosing the right doctor and
treatment because they've heard that Lyme Disease isn't this difficult
