Mega Boost Your Health with IV Vitamin Therapy


By Alina Schneider, APRN I


ntravenous (IV) therapy, also known as “Myer’s Cocktails,” has been used for decades, but for many of us, we need to


go back to the basics and understand what this is and how it can help.


IV nutrient therapy is when vitamins,


minerals, amino acids and other nutrients are infused directly into your bloodstream. When you take vitamins orally they often lose their potency and absorption power during digestion and you never receive their full effect. If you’re considering IV therapy, your fi rst step would be to get a physical exam and have your blood drawn. A specif- ic, personalized protocol will be designed based on your health needs and symptoms. Each patient’s IV therapy program is depen- dent on individualized care.


Now imagine relaxing in a recliner,


receiving mega doses of the nutrients you specifi cally need, and them going exactly where they need to go. It’s a powerful treat- ment that will certainly help boost your immune system and overall wellness.


These IV therapies can help with chron-


ic fatigue, viral infections, heart disease, cancer, and more. They are also effective at boosting nutritional status and preventing illnesses in healthy individuals. Let’s take a closer look:


Vitamin C and Cancer


Studies conducted at the National Institutes of Health and multiple university research centers show that when blood concentrations of vitamin C reach target levels—only possible through IV adminis- tration—it kills cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact. When used in conjunc- tion with chemotherapy treatment, vitamin C therapy can combat fatigue and provide nutritional and immune support for patients with cancer.


Magnesium for Heart & Respiratory Problems


IV magnesium is an excellent therapy for patients with heart disease and respira- tory issues among others. Multiple studies demonstrate that infusions of this mineral

improve outcomes of patients who have recently had a heart attack. IV infusions of this mineral can stop acute asthma, and by replenishing your magnesium, it helps relax the airways for ongoing support. Addition- ally, IV magnesium is benefi cial for patients with chronic migraines and those with diabetes.


Vitamins and Minerals for Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia People suffering with fi bromyalgia and


chronic fatigue are believed to have im- paired cellular function, which stimulates painful contractions and muscle spasms. To address these problems, a full regimen of nutrients, including intravenous B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C, and amino acids are proven to boost energy, improve tissue repair, and relieve stress.


Immune Function & Energy A number of nutrients play well-de-


fi ned roles in the maintenance of a robust immune response, optimal energy, and overall health. This unique IV “cocktail” contains high doses of B-complex vita- mins along with vitamin C, beta-carotene, selenium, and zinc, all of which are vital for optimal health. This nutrient mix also helps patients to cope with addictions and overcome cravings.


The list of conditions that IV Therapy can help is endless; here are just a few:


• Anti-aging • Asthma • Bronchitis • Cancer • Chronic Fatigue • Disease Prevention • Fibromyalgia • Heart Disease • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) • Irritable Bowel Syndrome • Lyme Disease • Migraines • Parkinson’s Disease • Smoking Cessation • Stroke Rehabilitation • Viral & Bacterial Infections


IV nutrient therapy is an excellent addition to other treatments when battling chronic illnesses, or when looking for an immediate boost to attack a virus or even a simple headache.
