IV Therapy
Myers’ +
In the 1960s, an internist at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, John Myers theorized that the gut can absorb only a limited amount of nutrients and that providing these nutrients directly to the bloodstream was a quick and efficient way of helping patients. Dr. John Myers, who originally was an electrical engineer before going to medical school in 1935, pioneered the use of IV quality vitamins and minerals in a mixture known as the Myers Cocktail. He found that the infusion of certain vitamins helped several conditions including depression, fatigue, and heart conditions.
Since that time, the infusion of Myers Cocktail of vitamins and minerals in thousands of patients has been shown to be a very effective and safe method in supporting the treatment of numerous medical conditions.
Why IV?
When we consume foods or supplements they need to travel through our digestive system before they can start being utilized by our bodies. It’s estimated that as much as 50% of the population has issues with absorption in their digestive systems, meaning that they never get the full benefits of the nutrients that they take in. Pills, in particular, are associated with low absorption rates. Additionally, as foods are stored and cooked, they can lose vital nutrients.
With the Myers Cocktail IV therapy drip, you know that you are getting every bit of the benefit with the most efficient administration method possible. When you send vitamins, minerals, and hydration directly into the bloodstream, you bypass the digestive system altogether. There are no issues with nutrients being changed during metabolism or failing to be absorbed. Your body gets 100% of the benefit of these powerful ingredients that are exactly the right recipe for you.
How is IV Administered?
It starts with getting labs drawn and having them reviewed by your healthcare provider. The results of your baseline assessment will be used to determine if in addition to the Myers Cocktail, other key nutrients can be added to benefit you the most.
Even though IV therapy involves placing a needle into the arm, the experience is comfortable and almost pain free in the expert hands of our IV nurses. A typical IV infusion takes approximately 20 minutes to 1 hour to administer depending on the type of IV required.
Benefits
Often, the body cannot tolerate high doses of vitamins and minerals via the oral tract, thus causing abdominal discomfort and pain. The Myers Cocktail infusions allow higher dosages of targeted supplements, with better absorption, and faster delivery to the cells throughout your body. Often, a few weeks of therapy will:
- Show markedly improved symptoms related to chronic disease.
- Allow quick and easy transition to the appropriate oral supplements.
- Support your immune system to help fight off infection.
- Improve your overall health.
- Give you more energy naturally.
