This is a hand-edited index. If there isn’t a dedicated page for a subject, information is linked below that may not be linked elsewhere. Not everything listed below is related to Lyme disease pseudoscience.

It is very rare, but some quacks do eventually decide to stop grifting.

Expert review: Antiscience and ethical concerns associated with advocacy of Lyme disease. This comprehensive 2011 review published in Lancet Infectious Diseases references:

  • Misinformation spread by the destructive chronic Lyme movement, including via films like Under Our Skin
  • “Lyme literate” doctors, their violations of ethics or legal standards, and their many victims
  • Pseudoscience groups: ILADS, Lyme Disease Association (LDA), LymeDisease.org (formerly CALDA), Global Lyme Alliance (succeeded Time for Lyme and Turn the Corner Foundation)
  • IgeneX and other sources of discredited testing
  • ILADS/IgeneX leaders Steven J. Harris, Joseph Burrascano, Jyotsna Shah, Nick Harris
  • Other ILADS leaders: Joseph Jemsek, Richard Horowitz, Steven Phillips, Raphael Stricker, Bernard Raxlen, Robert Bransfield, Charles Ray Jones
  • Jeffrey Wulfman (ILADS member), Ritchie Shoemaker, William T. Harvey, Anju Usman, John Roy Toth, Totada R. Shanthaveerappa, Charlene Demarco, Anthony Lionetti, JoAnne Whitaker, James Shortt
  • Harassment of scientists by conspiracy theorists, including politicians like Congressman Chris Smith and Senator Richard Blumenthal

  • Former NIHA employees who have been found guilty of misconduct:
  • Quackwatch notes that former NIHA employee Sakiliba Mines, MD was sentenced to prison for income tax evasion
  • Steven Kulawy, NIHA, and NIHA’s owner Daniel Storck were sued by an intern who claimed Kulawy harassed her and touched her inappropriately. According to the intern’s amended complaint:
    • “NIHA and Storck knew or should have known that Kulawy had his chiropractic license suspended due to his inappropriate touching of female patients and fondling their breasts.”
    • “Given this knowledge, it was foreseeable to NIHA and Storck that Kulawy would commit battery against and sexually harass other female patients and/or employees.”
    • “NIHA and Storck did not inform Ms. Evans of Kulawy’s propensity for sexual battery and sexual harassment of women.”
  • In 2015, a blogger examined the NIHA web site and concluded that it “is a quack organization which strongly promotes dangerous ‘anti-vaxxer’ pseudoscience.”

Richard Michael Hagmeyer (a chiropractor whose Illinois license expired in 2023)

  • In 2014, Richard Hagmeyer (“Respondent”) was reprimanded after a judge concluded: “The Department proved by clear and convincing evidence that Respondent engaged in dishonorable, unethical or unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive, defraud or harm the public when he failed to make a medical record of two dates where patient E.B. received treatment in violation of Section 22 (A)(5) of the Illinois Medical Practice Act. Respondent also violated Section 22 (A) (31) to the extent that this Act requires a licensee to establish and maintain records of patient care and treatment in a professional manner.”
  • According to meeting minutes of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, a case related to Hagmeyer was discussed in 2021 and 2022. Hagmeyer’s Illinois license appears to have been made “permanent inactive” around 2023. His Illinois license expired in 2023.

  • Tony Ortega, The Underground Bunker:

  • Tampa Bay Times: Scientology kept woman from mental health care before her death, lawsuit says, 2024-06-14
  • Amended Lawsuit (with attached expert affidavits) against David Minkoff, MD and Scientology by the family of Whitney Mills, 2024-09-09
  • Original Lawsuit against Scientology by the family of Whitney Mills, who was a patient of “Lyme literate” quack and Scientologist David Minkoff. (Minkoff was added as a defendant in the amended lawsuit)
    • Screenshots extracted from the original Scientology lawsuit, which were maintained in the Amended Complaint: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
    • The original lawsuit asserts that Minkoff misdiagnosed Mills with Lyme disease, Babesia parasites, and what he called “very large ovarian cancer.”
    • A text message screenshot showed Minkoff recommended ivermectin, which isn’t recommended for Lyme or babesia. We haven’t seen a valid reason for this prescription.
    • The original lawsuit states: “Mills would text Minkoff constantly begging for Minkoff to help her with her mental illness stating, ‘Is there anything else for the mental part? I’m seriously experiencing some mental illness. This is my biggest symptom is the mental part.'”
    • The original lawsuit states: “The level of quackery in Dr. Minkoff’s response is nothing short of astounding: ‘Got it. Got it. Drugs could numb you but you are OT. Put TR O in. It’s a sensation. It’s noise. It has no power over YOU. That’s the truth. Eye of the tiger. You are loved. You have friends and LRH. Duplicate it. Dissolve it. That is your power. You can be tone 40 with your TR O. That’s you as cause. I know you can. ML, dm.'”
    • Mainstream doctors usually recommend 14-21 days of antibiotics for neurological Lyme disease. A text message screenshot shows Mills asking Minkoff, “Do you know how long about it takes to kill off the Lyme and brain inflammation will go away?” with Minkoff responding “Usually 6 to 12 weeks. Once this mass is out then body will have the band width to do something about it.” It is a red flag of quackery if someone “Claims that various quack-diagnosed conditions (often called co-infections) need to be treated one at a time rather than simultaneously.”
    • In another text message screenshot, Whitney Mills is shown asking Minkoff “can you recommend anything else for the mental problems?”, with Minkoff recommending “Perfect amino”, a concoction sold by his company BodyHealth.com, LLC.
    • The original lawsuit describes part of Whitney Mills’s texting with another Scientologist as follows: “Referring to what she believed to be the onset of Lyme disease, Mills continues: ‘I wish it wasn’t in my brain. It’s so annoying that I have it so bad, and so bad mentally'”

Serafino Sauro, MD and Solvera Health

  • Serafino Sauro was fired from his residency for disruptive behaviors and other repeated professional concerns.
  • The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation accused Sauro of lacking good moral character and alleged that his violations would constitute grounds for disciplinary action under the Illinois Medical Practice Act, particularly the rules against Dishonorable, Unethical or Unprofessional Conduct. The IDFPR and Sauro reached an agreement in which he would be disciplined and placed on probation.
  • Sauro filed a harassing lawsuit against his residency director, the University of Illinois College of Medicine, and Methodist Medical Center of Illinois.
  • When Sauro lost his bogus lawsuit, he filed a nonsensical appeal, which he also lost.
  • Sauro and his employer Solvera Health have funded the dangerous pseudoscience group “Illinois Lyme Association.” They also promoted the quack group ILADS and the fictional “chronic Lyme” diagnosis.

James Louis Schaller, MD

  • Schaller is another “Lyme literate” felon.
  • Schaller pled “no contest” in 2011 to Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon without Intent to Kill, was found guilty, and placed on four years probation.
  • By unanimous vote, the Delaware Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline considered Schaller’s crime and found him guilty of unprofessional conduct. Schaller appealed the Board’s decision. A judge found Schaller’s arguments did not have merit and affirmed the disciplinary action.
