Many people in science have made sacrifices be it time, financial, their health or whatever to make a point. This will be even more difficult when it is not in the mainstream of the current belief system. But things change, particularly when multiple patients are looking for answers and know what they are talking about. I find Lyme literate patients quite capable of discussing the pros and cons of this infection within Australia.

Talk to your health professional about Lyme disease here. Lyme Disease exists in Australia.

Three kinds of doctors in Australia:

	Denial - It doesn't exist here
	Waverers - well it might be here but I want more proof
	Believers - well you wont have trouble with these

Oh.................... this is so similar to climate change

You wont get anywhere with the first and his/her only salvation from this delusion will be by education from within the profession. Refer them to this website but don't expect anything. Like the NSW Health Department, no one could possibly bring this home form upstate New York.

With the second you might get somewhere if you refer them to the PCR proofs on this website. This character still needs a lot of convincing.

Of course with the last you are on a roll. However there may be a gap to the level of knowledge required to investigate, manage or treat the disease. Tell them this website will be helpful and that the ILADS site has all the information they need. 

I came across this snippet on how dying scientific theories defy gravity:

Although seldom commented on, it is equally bewildering that the world order of science is able to live comfortably for years, and sometimes centuries, with beliefs that a new generation discovers to be false. How is it possible that we are able to build higher and higher on the foundations of such beliefs without fear of their sudden collapse? In addition, there is the paradox that the emotional investment of some scientists is such that they remain convinced of the truth of a theory long after it has been proved to be false. As E. G. Boring (1964) emphasized, in paraphrasing a comment of Max Plank: “Important theories, marked for death by the discovery of contradictory evidence, seldom die before their authors.”
