Intravenous Therapy is the method of getting nutraceuticals directly into the blood stream, which means that almost all of it is being absorbed.  When nutrients are taken through the mouth (via food or supplement), they are only partially absorbed, especially during times of high stress.

EDTA Chelation

What is it for?  A chelating substance, EDTA is given intravenously to remove heavy metals, such as mercury, cadmium, lead, aluminum, and arsenic from the body. High build ups of these metals can cause a multitude of problems ranging from acute lead poisoning to chronic disease.

How does it work? The chelating agent, EDTA, “grasps” on to heavy metals by forming a water-soluble complex with the metals, which is then removed through the kidneys into your urine.

Myer’s Cocktail with Vitamin C

What is it for? This vitamin and mineral combination (magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C) has been found to be effective in many conditions, as well as in boosting the immune system before travel, during flu season, and prior to other medical treatments.

How does it work? By administering these vitamins/minerals through IV, absorption issues are bypassed and patients are able to achieve blood levels of the nutrients which are 10 times the amount of that achieved through oral administration.

Glutathione

What is it for?  Glutathione is the primary cellular antioxidant. In humans, glutathione deficiency is linked to a number of disease states including pancreatic inflammation, diabetes, HIV, liver cirrhosis, pulmonary disease, Crohn’s disease, and neurodegeneration.

How does it work?  Among other things, glutathione participates in liver detoxification and tissue repair and has proven beneficial in reducing free radical damage due to radiation. It is considered to be the most potent detox and antioxidant agent made by the body.

Edetate Calcium Disodium (Calcium EDTA)

What is it for?  Used in treatment of symptomatic acute and chronic lead poisoning or for symptomatic patients with high blood levels of lead. It is also useful in poisoning by zinc, manganese, and certain heavy radioisotopes.

How does it work? The chelating agent, EDTA, “grasps” on to heavy metals by forming a water-soluble complex with the metals, which is then removed through the kidneys into your urine.

Dimercaptopropane-1-sulfonic Acid (DMPS)

What is it for?  DMPS has been used in acute and chronic poisoning with inorganic and organic mercury as well as mercury vapors, metallic mercury, lead, arsenic, copper, antimony, chromium, and cobalt.

How does it work?  DMPS has two vicinal thiol-groups that form stable complexes with a variety of heavy metals.

Hydrogen Peroxide 

What is it for?  Hydrogen peroxide kills, or severely inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms (bacteria and viruses that use carbon dioxide for fuel and leave oxygen as a by-product) which cause disease.

How does it work?  When a healthy cell encounters peroxide, the high amounts of the catalase enzyme contained in the cell converts the peroxide to hydrogen and water. Unhealthy cells don’t have enough catalase and are therefore killed by the peroxide.

High Dose Vitamin C

What is it for?  In addition to the possibility of high dose vitamin C being cytotoxic (causing death) to tumor cells it has also been beneficial for treatment of viruses and bacterial infections and helps boost the immune system.

How does it work?  IV administration can produce plasma concentrations as high as 26,000 micromol/L (as opposed to a maximum of only 220 micromol/L when taken orally). Vitamin C is known to induce peroxide formation in human cells. Peroxide is known to kill unhealthy human cells.

Magnesium Sulfate (Relaxer)

What is it for?  In addition to its beneficial effects for asthma sufferers, magnesium sulfate has been found to be effective for migraine headaches, neuropathic pain, and heart arrhythmias.

How does it work?  Magnesium sulfate can help to reduce spasms which can occur throughout the body in areas such as muscles, vessels, and airways.

NAD 

What is it for?  NAD helps to improve cognitive function, boost energy, support metabolism, gain muscle, ease the inflammatory/pain response, and reduce signs/symptoms of aging.

How does it work?  It aids in the production of ATP; thus, supporting the processes of cellular respiration, replication of DNA, and muscle contractions.

Plaquex (Phosphatidylcholine)

What is it for?  It is used to remove fatty and hardened plaque build-up in the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis. By building cell membranes, it helps to improve the function of all the organs, including the kidney and liver.

How does it work?  Plaquex restores cell membrane function and integrity. This, in turn, helps to normalize cell metabolism and clear out fat deposits.

Alpha-lipoic Acid (ALA)

What is it for?  It helps to reduce inflammation and signs/symptoms of aging; it may also provide relief to some forms of neuropathy.

How does it work? ALA is a powerful antioxidant that works with the mitochondria to help reduce inflammation, eliminate toxins, boost metabolism, and reverse some of the free radical damage to our cells.
