Q: Re Lyme related intravenous therapy

[Guest guest]

Dear Unda Group,

One of my clients who is seeing a doctor for lyme treatment says it

was implied that if they switched to IV antibiotics it would not

interfere with gut health.

Once an antibiotic is in circulation, whether taken orally or via IV,

does it not kill gut bacteria? I know some antibiotics are more

effective with different bugs, particularly the more nasty or

dysbiotic bugs, but in general, don't antibiotics kill healthy gut

flora, period.

Is the point that they are less aggressive on the tissues of the GI

tract immediately? But by virtue of killing GI flora they would be

disrupting the digestive system and the health of GI tissues?

I'm just wanting to understand the actions of intravenous

antibiotics, not to counter anyone's medical care.

Please enlighten me.
