IV Therapy & Detox

IV Therapy & Detox

IV Therapy

A healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals is the best way to nourish your body.

There are instances though, when the body has trouble obtaining these nutrients through natural digestive functions. Conditions such as stress, a medical illness, or food intolerances can inhibit the absorption of important substances such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, folic acid, glutathione, or biotin.

In these cases, injecting those nutrients directly into the blood stream may be the best option to ensure that your body is getting what it needs. This is the goal of IV nutritional therapy.

Types of IV Therapy

There are a number of IV therapies designed to either treat specific conditions or just promote overall wellness. Here are some of the most common:

Myers' Cocktail

This particular blend was developed in the 1970's by Doctor John Myers at Johns Hopkins University. It has been used to treat a number of conditions such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, muscle spasm, asthma, hives, congestive heart failure, chest pain, infections, and senile dementia.

Glutathione Therapy

This substance improves liver and brain functions, leading to improved memory while helping to lower the risk of conditions such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, neuropathy, and liver disease.

Chelation Therapy

This treatment helps remove heavy metals from the blood stream like iron, lead, and calcium to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, senility, and certain types of cancer.

High Dose Vitamin C

Although this vitamin is commonly found in supplement form, an IV injection can provide a much higher dose than what can be obtained by taking it orally. Vitamin C is used to fight chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Helps those suffering from diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Encourages the body to release single oxygen molecules into the blood stream to kill viruses, bacteria, cancer cells, and make it easier for the liver and kidneys to remove toxins.

Detoxification

Detoxification is the process of neutralizing and eliminating toxins from the body. Detoxification works on the cellular level and promotes the body to use its own natural healing system in fighting disease. Detoxification rids your body of dangerous substances, restores your vitality, and improves your overall health.

Detoxifying helps you improve health, prevent disease, and improve quality of life by removing dangerous toxins from your body and nourishing the body with proper nutrients.

Your body may be burdened by high levels of dangerous toxins that interfere with the proper functioning of its systems. Toxic substances damage the DNA and other cellular components on the molecular level. Toxins prevent vital nutrients from being properly absorbed by your body. This leads to a serious chemical imbalance in your body systems and may cause tissue and organ damage.

High levels of toxins in your body may lead to:

  • Mood Disorders
  • Sexual Disorders
  • Skin Problems
  • Digestive Disorders
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Aches And Pains

The body naturally removes many toxins on its own, but today we are surrounded by such enormous quantities of environmental toxins, that the body may be overwhelmed in its own ability to cleanse itself. Toxins come from both internal and external sources:

External Sources of Toxins

  • Pesticides
  • Herbicides
  • Pollution
  • Environmental Toxins
  • Acid Rain
  • Heavy Metals
  • Prescription Drugs
  • Illicit Drugs
  • Alcohol
  • Cigarettes

Internal Sources of Toxins

  • Oxidation Of Fats
  • Oxidation Of Cholesterol
  • Diminished Liver Function
  • Diminished Kidney Function
  • Free Radicals

Professional Medical Treatment

Any detoxification treatment should be conducted by an experienced physician who will first evaluate your existing medical condition and run variety of tests to determine your toxic levels. While many detox products exists, most of them simply do not work and some could be dangerous to your health. You should consult a medical professional to ensure optimal health results and minimize side effects.

Holistic Approach to Detoxification

Detoxification combined with lifestyle modifications, changes in diet, and increased levels of exercise can have a positive impact on your health, improve your quality of life, and help you look better and feel younger. A comprehensive medical approach is needed to optimize your health, renew your energy levels, and restore your body to feeling years younger.

Infra-red Sauna:

  • Heating of the tissues enhances metabolic processes. Greater cellular energy production facilitates healing.
  • Viruses, tumors and toxin-laden cells are weaker than normal cells. They tolerate heat poorly.
  • Raising the body temperature causes infections to heal more quickly. Hyperthermia or fever therapy help combat infections and even cancer.
  • Saunas enhance circulation and oxygenate the tissues.
