A lot of environmental medicine and integrative medicine doctors use IV nutrients in their practices. Try Googling your town with those words and see what comes up.
Is your friend on IV antibiotics? If she can get a PICC line, it will be easier for her to do IV antibiotics and IV nutrients.

So sorry about your friend. Someone posted about a hospital here a while back that really looked wonderful.
They do integrative medicine and I think it may be in New Mexico, but not sure. Just can't remember right now but hopefully someone will come along who does.
Type the doctors name in search bar here and see if it comes up. I will try and do some digging around also.

My daughter is on IV Hydration and IV TPN (Total Parental Nutrition)... this is not done thru a Lyme doctor, but a GI. Hopefully you can find a good one near you.
I hope that your friend gets the help that he/she desperately needs.

I suggest a cancer specialist who can may be
willing to build her up. They deal with the
critically ill every day. I would not be too proud
to beg. She needs this first. Vitamin C IV may
bring her around.
Praying for you both.

There are some transdermal nutrient patches available too. Try Google for that. They just go on the skin.
One thing that helped me (I'm in bad shape too) is to have someone do a lot of juicing for me -- all veggies except for apples, and no carrots as they are too sugary. Lettuce, greens, cucumbers, cabbage, apples. If she can drink anything, try this.
