IV Therapies

Intravenous solutions for sterile water with a high concentration of vitamins.  These therapies boost the immune system, which is the body’s number one defense against disease. Nutritional therapy is generally the first IV treatment administered to a new patient

The nutrients enter the body directly at the cellular level where they will have the highest benefit. IV therapy bypasses the liver, allowing for higher absorption and utilization of the nutrients, which if orally ingested, would be eliminated by the body during metabolism.

IV vitamin therapy can be used either proactively to maintain wellness or to treat many acute and chronic conditions.

All IV therapies are administered with the highest quality injectable vitamins and minerals, mixed under a sterile hood by Registered Nurses under the supervision of a medical provider.  They are administered in a pleasant, nature-infused atmosphere- all while the patient relaxes in a zero gravity Human Touch recliner.

WHAT DISEASES OR CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED WITH IV VITAMIN THERAPY?

Whether you currently have a medical condition that can be treated with a personalized intravenous vitamin treatment plan, or if you simply want to maintain a healthy balance, IV vitamin therapy may be the right approach for you. Once it is determined that IV therapy is medically appropriate and safe for you, our providers will discuss the formula that can best help you. We can help you treat a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:

• Cold/ Flu
• Fibromyalgia
• Lyme disease
• Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) & IBS
• Chronic Fatigue
• Malabsorption Syndromes
• Migraines
• Muscle Spasms
• Skin and Respiratory Allergies
• Cancer support
• And many others

Magnesium deficiency is common, which may result in muscle spasms and fatigue. Replenishing this mineral is especially useful to treat asthma (bronchial spasms), high blood pressure (spasm of blood vessels), menstrual cramps (spasm of the uterus), migraines (spasm of blood vessels), and adrenal fatigue.

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant which neutralizes free radicals, enhances the immune system, and improves liver detoxification. It also improves symptoms related to neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and nerve tissue damage from chemotherapy and diabetes. Glutathione is also highly effective to speed recovery from respiratory & sinus infections.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a key antioxidant possessing neuroprotective and anti-aging properties. ALA is both water and fat soluble, allowing it to eliminate free radicals throughout the body including the brain. ALA enhances the activity of vitamins C and E, Co-Q 10 and increases levels of glutathione in the cells. ALA is effective for conditions such as asthma, cataracts, metal poisoning, radiation exposure, heart and liver disease, diabetic neuropathy, autoimmune diseases, inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis.

The most common form of medical ozone in the US is “Major Autohemotherapy” or MAH. This involves taking about 250ml of blood from a patient, exposing it to ozone, and dripping it back into a patient via an IV.  The procedure takes about 30-40 minutes.

Medical ozone can also be delivered by “Insufflation” – where we introduce ozone gas rectally, vaginally, or in the ear to treat various infections, viruses and other pathogens. Insufflation is a less invasive and less expensive alternative to Major Autohemotherapy for systemic health problems, but typically requires more frequent visits.

BENEFITS OF OZONE THERAPY IN THE BODY

• Purifies the blood & lymphatic system
• Detoxifies the liver
• Decreases uric acid in the body
• Improves circulation and oxygen supply
• Decreases fat (cholesterol and triglycerides)
• Kills viruses, bacteria and fungus
• Improves white blood cell activity (which neutralize viruses, bacteria, fungi & cancer)
• Improves cellular metabolism
• Slows down the aging process

We know there can be no life if oxidation does not occur. Oxidation is the process through which the body converts sugar into energy.

The body also uses oxidation as its first line of defense against bacteria, virus, yeast and parasites. Even breathing oxygen is an oxidative process. When we use the principals of oxidation to bring about improvements in the body it is called a therapy herein referred to as Oxidative Therapy.

A number of substances are known to cause oxidation in the body, but the most important of these is hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide, when exposed to blood or other body fluids containing the enzyme catalase, is chemically split into oxygen and water. A small amount of hydrogen peroxide can supply large amounts of oxygen to the tissue.

Injections of Hydrogen Peroxide are not new. Its intravenous use was first reported by Dr. T.H. Oliver in the British Medical Journal (Lancet) in 1920. The use of hydrogen peroxide injections to generate oxygen in the body has been studied at many major medical research centers throughout the world. Today, between 2 and 100 scientific articles are published each month about the chemical and biological effects of hydrogen peroxide.

There are many theories about the different functions of hydrogen peroxide in the body and a great deal of scientific material supports almost every one. Hydrogen peroxide is produced in the body in different amounts for different purposes. It is part of a system which helps your body regulate all living cell membranes.  Scientists are discovering the function of hydrogen peroxide in the body is far more complex and important than previously realized.

Vitamin C was first suggested as a tool for cancer treatment in the 1950′s: its role in collagen production and protection led scientists to hypothesize that ascorbate replenishment would protect normal tissue from tumor invasiveness and metastasis. Also, since cancer patients are often depleted of vitamin C, replenishment may improve immune system function and enhance patient health and well-being. Cameron and Pauling observed fourfold survival times in terminal cancer patients treated with intravenous ascorbate infusions followed by oral supplementation (Cameron & Pauling, 1976). However, two randomized clinical trials with oral ascorbate alone conducted by the Mayo clinic showed no benefit . Most research from that point on focused on intravenous ascorbate. The rationales for using intravenous ascorbate infusions (IVC) to treat cancer, which are discussed in detail below, can be summarized as follows:

• Higher plasma ascorbate concentrations can be safely achieved with IVC infusions.
• At higher concentrations, ascorbate is preferentially toxic to cancer cells in vitro and is able to inhibit growth of blood vessels to tumors.
• Published case studies report anti-cancer efficacy, improved patient well-being, and decreases in markers of inflammation and tumor growth.
• Phase I clinical studies indicate that IVC can be administered safely with relatively few adverse effects.

UVBI therapy utilizes Ultraviolet light, a light which is well-known for its ability to purify air, sterilize water and destroy microorganisms in waste products.

Use of UV light to treat disease began back in the 1870s and continued until the1950s when most mainstream medical doctors began to use vaccines and antibiotics to treat their patients.

UVB Ultraviolet Therapy (or Photo-oxidation therapy) is a biological healing modality utilizing ultraviolet irradiation of the blood with Ultraviolet A,B, & C light. UVBI therapy treatment consists of the insertion of a needle into a vein and the withdrawal of 60 or more cc’s of blood that is passed through quartz tubing where it is exposed to the UV light briefly. The treated blood is then directly returned to the patient’s bloodstream. The only discomfort is during the insertion of the needle and is minimal.

The effects are long lasting and there is an absence of harmful side effects. The simple treatments are easily combined with other medical procedures and are economical, dependable and gentle for the patient.

Can produce the following beneficial photochemical reactions:

• Improved micro circulation and oxygenation of tissues
• Anti-inflammatory effects
• Stimulation of the immune system
• Increased tolerance of the body towards radiation or chemotherapy.
• Cardiovascular protection through increased metabolism of cholesterol, uric acid, and glucose
• Resolution of vascular spasms
• Powerful anti-infection properties

WHAT CAN UVBI THERAPY TREAT?

UVBI Therapy treats conditions which patients have previously felt they would have to “live with”. Such conditions can be greatly relieved with this combination of therapies:

• Cancer
• Hepatitis B and C
• Lyme disease
• Herpes Virus
• Chronic Fatigue
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Staph infections
• Autoimmune Conditions
• Bacterial/ Viral Infections

What is the process?

It is the intravenous infusion of a synthetic amino acid, EDTA, into the bloodstream. As it moves through the blood vessels, it cleanses away toxic metals and calcium deposits that form plaque. You may benefit from EDTA Chelation Therapy if you have or have had many different problems including: angioplasty, leg cramps, poor circulation, diabetes, bypass surgery, arthritis and angina.

In most cases, 3-4 rounds of infusions are given to establish a healthy pregnancy. The first round is typically administered around the time of ovulation or of IUI. The second round is then given after a positive pregnancy test, and the third is given after a viable pregnancy has been confirmed by ultrasound. The last infusion is administered four or five weeks later.

The main components are soybean oil, egg yolk, phospholipids and glycerin. It may obtain trace amounts of peanut oil. As such, those with allergies to these ingredients should avoid this therapy.

Some patients may experience chills, malaise, headaches, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, shortness of breath, or an allergic reaction. If you have a history of liver failure, kidney disease, hyperlipidemia, or a sensitivity to the ingredients, intralipid therapy may not be used.

The executive stress mixture also includes vitamin C, which acts as an immune booster, antioxidant, antiviral, antibiotic, and antihistamine. This helps with fatigues, chronic illness, reduces oxidative stress loads, and plays and important role in wound healing, immunotherapy, and heart health.

Along with vitamins important for stress management, a combination of minerals is also found in the executive stress IV. These minerals act to relax muscles, regulate blood pressure, provide pain relief, promote relaxation and sleep, aid in blood clotting, maintain normal muscle tissue, regulate heart rhythms, support immune function, initiate muscle contraction/relaxation cycles, support nerve function, aid in the production of thyroid hormones, reduce inflammatory markers, facilitate metabolism, and reduce cancer risk.

Several other components in the executive stress IV, including electrolytes and amino acids, work synergistically with this unique combination of ingredients. These compounds facilitate the balance of neurotransmitters, which are important for mood, cognitive function, and hormone regulation. They also aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, have antioxidant properties, improve lipid balance, aid in detoxifying, protect liver cells, improve muscle damage, promote tissue repair, and improve vascular function.
