For many people, absorption of nutrients can be compromised due to illness, food allergy or inflammation for any number of reasons. When nutrients are delivered intravenously it goes straight into circulation where the body gets the full benefit. The ultimate goal is to enhance the immunity, increase energy, and improve detoxification.
Common conditions treated with intravenous therapy are Lyme disease, various forms of cancer, Celiac disease, cold/flu, mononucleosis, malnutrition, chronic fatigue, heavy metal toxicity, severe nausea with pregnancy, Parkinson’s disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and much more.
We strive to create a very comfortable environment where our patients can enjoy a cup of tea, socialize, take advantage of in-house wireless, read a book, or just enjoy a good nap. The treatments usually last 1 ½ hours. Most patients often comment on feeling better soon after the treatment.
IV Therapy Common treatments:
Heavy Metal Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is the removal of heavy metals by an intravenous treatment using EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid). EDTA has the ability to bond or “hook onto” atoms of calcium, lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and others as well as some of the trace minerals. All of these we come in contact with on a daily basis.
For more than 40 years chelation has been used successfully for patients with vascular disease such as atherosclerosis as well as heavy metal poisoning. The FDA has approved chelation as the only treatment for lead poisoning.
High dose vitamin C/Hydrogen Peroxide
The human body utilizes oxygen in the form of hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria, viruses, fungus and cancer. High dose vitamin C increases your natural hydrogen peroxide. Patients typically report more energy and better sleep as a result.
For more information on the many applications of High Dose Vitamin C please visit the Linus Pauling Institute.
Multivitamin and Mineral Drips
Most of the nutrients are found in a multivitamin/mineral supplement can be administered through IV at higher levels than what can be taken in orally. This is a great option for an oncoming cold where the immune system needs a boost.
Glutathione
This is the most powerful detoxifier and antioxidant produced by the liver. With repeated inflammation or environmental stress it can easily become depleted. Although there are many products for oral glutathione, research has shown the best bioavailability is with intravenous methods or inhalation by nebulizer.
Amino acid nutrient therapy
Amino acid therapy provides essential and non-essential proteins mixed with vitamins/minerals. This drip is most indicated for those who have a reduced appetite during late stage chronic disease, digestive compromise or severe nausea with pregnancy.
