Do treatments such as Vit C IV Therapy, Ozone Iv Therapy and Ultra Violet Ray Therapy help with Lyme?

I guess if you read here the older threads, you will see different opinions and outcomes.
For me, antibiotics just destroyed my gut, caused me terrible pain, so I couldn't take them, so I HAD to go alternative. And I never liked antibiotics, so for me, it was fine.
Alternatives did work for me, and for my daughter. Even if you DON'T do alternative, you will have to add these therapies if you suffer long term chronic lyme, anyway.
I do not know about ultra violet therapy, but I am running a thread on the Tesla Violet Ray device (it is not ultra violet). I do not know if it works for lyme, as I do not have lyme anymore.
I used infrared + nosodes to heal my lyme, and that is what I did for my daughter too. It worked for us, but we did many other things parallel to that (like changing foods, heavy metal chelation, etc).
Vit C IV therapy does a lot, but I wonder if it ALONE will put lyme dormant... Ozone, same, IV or whatever, some people swear by it, but whether any of these treatments work ALONE is THE question. I guess, each person reacts different...
I hope you find your own way out of lyme. Just keep reading before deciding, and try to look for professional help too!

- When considering herbal / nutritional / adjunct methods, because lyme is so very complex & unique, as are possible coinfections:
if at all possible - because each person & each case is different - it's best to consult with an ILADS-educated LL ND (lyme literate naturopathic doctor) (or similar) who has completed four years of post-graduate medical education in the field of herbal and nutritional medicine -
- and someone who is current with ILADS' research & presentations, past and present, and has completed the ILADS Physician Training Program (see: www.ilads.org )
so they really know all they can about the science of lyme . . . how lyme (& other TBD) act and what we can do about that in various ways.
Many LL NDs incorporate antibiotics (depending upon the licensing laws in their state). Some LLMDs and LL NDs have good working relationships.
When possible, it's great to have both a LLMD and LL ND and even better when they have a long-standing professional relationship.
Herbal Safety considerations & reference books; etc.
Links to many articles and books by holistic-minded LL doctors of various degrees who all have this basic approach in common:
Understanding of the importance of addressing the infection(s) fully head-on with specific measures from all corners of medicine;
knowing which supplements have direct impact, which are only support and which are both.
You can compare and contrast many approaches with links to articles, books, methods . . .
BODY WORK methods / links (and why anyone who works on your spine MUST be LL to the degree they at least know to never suddenly twist neck or spine. Never. Ever. And that we should never be advised to do neck / head / shoulder stands.) -

Ozone is oxygen therapy - the bacteria don't like oxygen. I also heard that IV Vit C drives more oxygen into the body.

They are all tools in the chest that helps one get closer to getting well. There's no one thing or treatment that will do it alone. They are good adjunct therapies, if one can afford them.
