IV Therapy
Vitamins and minerals provide the raw materials necessary for our cells to function properly. Usually we can get these nutrients through our diet if we are conscientious of what we eat. However, sometimes even a great diet may not translate to proper nutrition at the cellular level. There can be many causes of this, which may include poor digestion, food sensitivities, chronic inflammation, poor immune function, or any sickness. A vicious cycle ensues.
Our cells are not healthy and they need nutrients to heal. But, the nutrients are not available because our cells are too weak to transport the vitamins and minerals to where they are needed. This scenario describes a typical situation in which intravenous vitamin (IV) therapy would be indicated.
Intravenous therapy takes place when medicine is injected directly into the veins and often works more swiftly and successfully than medicine given through the stomach.
In the past, a very limited amount drugs could be administered intravenously, but in today’s health care world the number has been greatly extended with applications for many additional disease treatments. Especially in cases of pneumonia and diphtheria, the rapid passage of the medicine through the body using intravenous therapy gives it an advantage over the much slower process of ingesting medication orally.

Vitamin C IV
There is actually a wide spectrum of medical uses for vitamin C. Evidence exists documenting it as the best antiviral agent now available if you use the proper dose. Vitamin C can neutralize and eliminate a wide range of toxins. Vitamin C will enhance host resistance, greatly augmenting the immune system’s ability to neutralize bacterial and fungal infections. Now the National Institutes of Health has published evidence demonstrating vitamin C’s anti-cancer properties.
IVC is a tool that allows us to harness a healing mechanism that our human ancestors lost long ago: the ability to dramatically increase tissue levels of vitamin C. Research shows that the astonishingly high levels achievable only by IVC not only help fight the risk of infection and the pain of metastases, they may aid in the defeat of the cancer cells themselves, through a very elegant mechanism that does no harm to healthy cells. It’s a discovery that the medical world is only beginning to discover.

EDTA Chelation
Chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) is a non-surgical treatment for removing heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic, aluminum, mercury, and cadmium from the body. These toxins contribute to the aging process in our bodies. The therapy consists of a series of intravenous administrations of EDTA.
Nearly all men and women over the age of forty suffer to some degree from the effects of hardening of the arteries. Actually, a 30% narrowing of the arteries is considered by many to be “normal” at the age of forty-five. However, studies have shown that many heart attacks occur in arteries that are only 20% occluded. Chelation may be of help on overcoming the debilitating effects of some of the symptoms associated with circulatory problems. Diabetics, smokers, patients with heart disease or strokes are some of the people who have been helped by chelation therapy.

DMPS
The growing concern about heavy metal poisoning leads many people to search for ways to rid their bodies of toxic metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and especially mercury. Chelation therapies are methods of mobilizing and eliminating toxic metals that attach to body tissues.
DMPS chelation therapy is an IV push chelation therapy that, in the US, must be performed under the supervision of a medical doctor who is specifically licensed to prescribe and use DMPS. A chelator is a compound that reversibly binds to another metal. In terms of heavy metal detoxification, a chelator pulls metals that have previously attached themselves to bodily tissues, mobilizing them so that the body can eliminate them naturally.

Meyer’s Cocktail
The “cocktail” is indicated for chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, vitamin deficiency, anxiety, stress, depression, migraine or tension headaches, general immune boosting, gut malabsorption, leaky gut and support to cancer patients. It can be useful in situations where oral nutrients or other therapies are not working. When nutrients are given intravenously, your digestive system is bypassed and a much higher level of nutrition can be delivered directly to your cells via the bloodstream.
IV vitamin and mineral therapy developed in the 1970’s by John Meyer, M.D., a physician at Johns Hopkins University. The “cocktail” is indicated for chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, muscle spasm, asthma, hives, congestive heart failure, angina (chest pain), infections, and senile dementia.

Phosphatidyl Choline
The most important effect of Phosphatidyl choline is its remarkable ability to reduce plaque depositions in the arterial walls. It also lowers cholesterol and homocysteine levels. Studies in lab animals have shown that it increase their life span by up to 36%.
An important therapeutic application of the Phosphatidyl choline treatment program is increasing an individual’s ability to withstand cardiac stress. This application is valuable for the individuals who have suffered cardiac trauma, such as myocardial infarction or who are at high risk of heart trauma.

Glutathione
The strong antioxidant effect of glutathione helps keep cells running smoothly. It also helps the liver remove chemicals that are foreign to the body, such as drugs and pollutants.
Glutathione is a very small molecule that’s [produced by the body and] found in every cell. Because glutathione exists within the cells, it is in a prime position to neutralize free radicals which damage the body. It also has potentially widespread health benefits because it can be found in all types of cells, including the cells of the immune system, whose job is to fight disease.

Vitamin Mineral IV
There are times when for whatever reason stress, nutritional deficiencies, medical conditions the immune system is not able to function at its highest and best level. At such times the individual may feel various symptoms from fatigue to down right collapse. At other times the immune system may have problems resisting the advances of acute illness, age-related diseases, chronic illnesses and diseases.
Vitamin-Mineral Immune System IV can play a role in helping patients move toward optimal health. Often because of excessive stress, illness or nutritional deficiencies vitamin-mineral, amino acids, and other natural agents are used up or diminished and are therefore no longer available or ready to support the needs of the immune system in protecting, preventing and fighting illness. In such cases fully relying on the oral vitamins and minerals and essential nutrients arriving immediately may be fanciful. In other situations the levels of vitamins and minerals and other essential nutrients may be needed in at extremely high levels in order for deficiencies and defects to be resolved. This is where Vitamin Mineral IV can fill that gap.
