The Myers’ Cocktail combines magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C. This combination of nutrients is versatile for immune boosting and adrenal support.
Myers’ cocktails have been found effective against a variety of conditions including chronic fatigue, depression, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, asthma, seasonal allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, cardiovascular disease, adrenal fatigue, acute/chronic infections, chronic pain, migraines and quick recovery for athletes. Nutrient depletion can be caused by poor diet, refined foods, alcohol, smoking, chronic illness and emotional & physical stress. Stress “eats up” nutrients, especially B vitamins and magnesium.
Vitamin C has antioxidant, antiviral, antihistamine and in high doses, pro-oxidant anti-cancer properties. I.V. Vitamin C is indicated for immune support, allergies, wound healing, viral conditions and in some cases acute bacterial infections. Vitamin C can also be given to cancer patients with approval from an oncologist.
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.

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.
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.

DOWNLOAD FORMWe 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.

DOWNLOAD FORMUVBI therapy utilizes Ultraviolet light, a light which is well-known for its ability to purify air, sterilize water and destroy microorganisms in waste products.
Chelation is the chemical process by which a metal or mineral (such as lead, mercury, copper, iron, arsenic, aluminum, calcium, etc.) is bonded to another substance. It is a natural process, basic to life itself.
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
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:

DOWNLOAD FORMOzone therapy is the use of medical ozone to treat a wide variety of health problems. It’s been used for decades around the world and has a long history of safe and effective use.
While relatively common in Germany and other parts of Europe, ozone therapy has been growing in popularity in the US to treat a variety of health problems and diseases. We are proud to have been using ozone therapy at our Clinic for more than 15 years.
Some hospitals now use ozone to disinfect rooms and it has long been used as a water disinfectant. The same properties that make it a very good anti-microbial agent result in a form of therapy that works excellent for several different health problems.
Ozone therapy works through several mechanisms. First and foremost, ozone therapy has been shown to inactivate viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungi and protozoa. It also stimulates the body’s natural defenses by increasing oxygen metabolism and activates the immune system by increasing the body’s production of interferon and interleukin-2.
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.

Chelation is one mechanism by which such common substances as aspirin, antibiotics, vitamins, minerals and trace elements work in the body. EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) is a synthetic amino acid which has the ability to attach itself to metals and minerals, forming a particular kind of bond called a chelate. Heavier metals such as lead have a greater affinity for EDTA and form stronger bonds.
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.

DOWNLOAD FORMNAD is a coenzyme that powers metabolic processes and impacts a wide variety of systems including digestion, cognition and mental clarity, aging, and overall energy levels.
NAD is found in every cell within the human body. The body naturally produces NAD, but overall levels of the coenzyme decrease over time – leading to cellular changes that result in age-related disease. Lower levels of NAD and bonds between certain types of molecules are linked to damage to DNA which, left unrepaired, accumulate over time into cell changes and mutations. Restoring and supplementing NAD counteracts many of these reactions and help preserve the integrity of DNA over time.
Intravenous treatments of NAD supplement this gradual decline and delivers it directly into the bloodstream, making it available to cells for immediate use. Because NAD bypasses the digestive and metabolic systems, there is a 100% absorption rate for maximum effect and minimal waste. This powerful coenzyme increases levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation, and can improve symptoms of depression and anxiety.
It also plays a large role in anti-aging treatments. Aging impacts every system in the body, changing everything from the way the body appears to how it metabolizes food. NAD lengthens telomeres, which are protective caps located at the ends of chromosomes which naturally become shorter as the body ages. One of its most significant roles is in oxidation-reduction reactions. These reactions are a part of the metabolic system and converts food into the energy the body needs to function properly.
NAD helps the liver break down fats that are essential to provide energy for the body. It also helps create ATP, the major source of energy for cells. Another important role that NAD plays, is to regulate circadian and metabolic rhythm. This coenzyme maintains DNA integrity and health and also functions as a quality control mechanism for new proteins.
Among other functions, NAD plays a significant role in anti-aging. NAD works on mitochondria and increases the length of telomeres, which are the protective caps located at the ends of chromosomes that become shorter as the body ages. NAD increases the activity of SIRT1 and PARP 1 proteins, which are linked with a slower rate of aging and influencing DNA repair. A decrease in cognitive ability is a hallmark of aging. NAD rejuvenates and restores brain function by boosting sirtuins – proteins that function as anti-aging mechanisms that slow the effects of neurodegenerative diseases and natural cognitive decline. Together, NAD and sirtuins protect against toxicities in the body and improves cells’ resistance to stress.
NAD treatments last from 4 to 14 days depending on the individual. Many studies have shown promising results of the benefits of NAD supplementation and restoration across a wide range of conditions. Some of the benefits include increased energy, improved brain health and neurological function, decreased fatigue, improved mood and memory, restored muscle function, improved brain regeneration and concentration, slowing and reversal of the aging process, improved metabolism and weight loss, and improved appearance of the skin.

Medicinal Therapeutic Grade Vitamin C- B Vitamins – Selenium – Zinc – Trace Minerals – Amino Acids
The executive stress infusion may be useful in the treatment of symptoms resulting from high levels of physical and/or mental stress due to workload, travel, poor diet, environmental factors such as pollution, and more. The combination of vitamins and minerals act, in many ways, to enhance the body’s ability to combat the ill effects of stress.
Several B vitamins are included in this mixture and have many beneficial actions. These vitamins help to nourish patients, alleviate depression and improve mood, stimulate gastrointestinal function, treat nutritional deficits, and aid in the formation of specific molecules essential for enzyme function and energy production in the body.
One of these vitamins, B6, is involved in the process of making key hormones involved in mood and various functions of the central nervous system, serotonin and norepinephrine, along with the formation of myelin (the protective sheath covering nerves and the spinal cord). This is particularly important in terms of prevention of diseases which stem from myelin deterioration, such as Alzheimers and dementia. The B vitamin mixture also acts to increase red blood cells, appetite, treat anemia and anxiety, improve energy, aids in the formation of various sex and stress-related hormones, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation.
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.

DOWNLOAD FORMIntralipid therapy is primarily used in fertility treatments, along with those who are malnourished and needing weight gain.
Intralipid therapy is primarily used in fertility treatments, along with those who are malnourished and needing weight gain. This 20% fat emulsion is administered intravenously, over a period of 2-3 hours.
The use of intralipids has been shown to enhance successful implantation and maintenance of pregnancies in patients with auto-immune disease, recurrent miscarriages and/or unsuccessful IVF attempts. In most cases, the lining of the uterus contains immune cells that are specially adapted to tolerate an embryo. However, when these cells are not present or ineffective, the mother’s immune system may attack or reject the embryo with ‘natural killer’ cells. This can pose extreme difficulties for the embryo to implant in the lining of the uterus.
Research has shown that intralipid therapy can lower the activity of these natural killers, as well as regulate them. This, in turn, allows for the embryo to implant on the uterine wall and grow normally. Intralipid therapy has been used safely for over 30 years, with associated risks being low.
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.

DOWNLOAD FORMHOCATT stands for “Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy” and the machine acts as a personal ozone steam sauna.
HOCATT stands for “Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy” and the machine acts as a personal ozone steam sauna, in which patients sit with just their head exposed to the air, while their body receives the benefits of an infusion of ozone, carbon dioxide, steam, Photon light and oxygen.
The steam sauna heats up to a comfortable temperature and then carbon dioxide gas (carbonic acid) is infused into the sauna. After this, the carbon dioxide is removed and the sauna is infused with ozone gas. The heat and the carbon dioxide serve to open up the circulation to the skin so that when the ozone gas is infused it is absorbed by the skin into the general circulation.
As steam gently fills the sauna, the Photon infrared light penetrates the skin to help increase blood flow and circulation. Photon breaks any painful inflammatory cycle by dilating small blood and lymphatic vessels. This increase in circulation can result in accelerated healing and pain relief.
Throughout, the patient’s head is outside the ozone steam cabinet and they are given an additional boost by inhaling pure oxygen throughout the 30-minute session. Delivered via two small tubes inserted into the nasal passages, this breath of “fresh air” helps to boost the immune system, reduce stress, boost energy and even fight off cancer.
The health benefits of having a session in the HOCATT zone steam sauna are extensive. It increases circulation, promotes energy, naturally stimulates anti-oxidant enzyme production, improves absorption of nutrients, improves skin tone and helps relieve many chronic health problems.
Benefits of HOCATT:
Increases blood circulation
Increases blood oxygen level and metabolism (anti-aging)
Increases core body temperature
Combats and disposes of pathogens and toxins (detox)
Relaxes muscle tension
Increases energy levels
Increases Seratonin levels (relaxing)
Burns up to 600 calories per session

DOWNLOAD FORMInfrared Sauna benefits you by helping your detoxification process, promotes relaxation, helps relieve pain, promotes weight loss, improves circulation, and purifies your skin.
BENEFITS OF INFRARED SAUNA THERAPY
1. Detoxification
Sweating is one of the body’s most natural ways to eliminate toxins, making it a crucial part of detoxification. When compared to traditional Swedish saunas, infrared saunas allow you to eliminate about seven times more toxins.
2. Relaxation
Infrared sauna therapy promotes relaxation by helping to balance your body’s level of cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone. The heat generated by the sauna will also help to relax muscles and relieve tension throughout the body, allowing you to relax and de-stress.
3. Pain Relief
If you suffer from muscle aches or joint pain, infrared saunas can relieve this form of inflammation by increasing circulation and relaxing your muscles.
4. Weight Loss
The heat generated by an infrared sauna will cause your core temperature to increase, which can also lead to an increased heart rate — the same increase in heart rate that you experience when exercising. When your body must work harder to lower your core temperature or keep up with an increased heart rate, your body will burn more calories, resulting in increased weight loss. An article, titled Effect of Sweating, in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that a 30-minute infrared sauna session could burn roughly 600 calories.
5. Improved Circulation
As the heat from infrared saunas increases your core body temperature, your circulation will increase along with it. Consistent infrared sauna sessions, especially in the middle-infrared level, can stimulate blood flow, improve muscle recovery, and decrease pain and inflammation after intense exercise.
6. Skin Purification
Infrared sauna technology can help purify your skin by eliminating toxins from your pores and increasing circulation, resulting in clearer, softer, and healthier-looking skin.
Prolozone® is a homeopathic/oxygen-ozone injection technique developed and pioneered by Dr. Frank Shallenberger. It is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain.
It is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain, including chronic neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic knees, and shoulder and elbow pain. Because in many cases Prolozone corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming permanently pain free.
Prolozone is a form of non-surgical ligament reconstruction and is a permanent treatment for chronic pain. Prolozone is a connective tissue injection therapy of collagen producing substances and ozone gas which can reconstruct damaged or weakened connective tissue in and around joints. These substances are injected into the damaged connective tissue in and around a joint to rebuild the damaged areas.
By repairing the connective tissue this is all that is needed to permanently reverse chronic pain.
Prolozone Therapy is an injection technique like Prolotherapy that uses ozone. The use of ozone causes the joint to heal much more quickly than in traditional Prolotherapy. This is because ozone is a highly reactive molecule and when injected into a joint capsule it can stimulate the fibroblastic joint repairing abilities.
Prolozone is derived from the word ozone and the Latin word “proli” which means to regenerate or re-build. It literally means re-building tissues with ozone. It is important to understand what the word Prolozone actually means. “Prolo” is short for proliferation, because the treatment causes the proliferation (growth, formation) of new ligament tissue in areas where it has become weak.
Ligaments are the structural “rubber bands” that hold bones to bones in joints – acting like the body’s shock absorbers. Ligaments can become weak or injured and may not heal back to their original strength or endurance. Ligaments will also not tighten on their own to their original length once injured. This is largely because the blood supply to ligaments is limited, and therefore healing is slow and not always complete. To further complicate this, ligaments also have many nerve endings, and therefore the person will feel pain at the areas where the ligaments are damaged or loose.
We can think of our joints as the hinge on a door. Until the hinge is fixed the door just isn’t going to open or close right and it’s the same exact story with our joints. If we are athletic or if we are just getting older there is some gradual and natural degeneration of the moving parts of the body due to ongoing recurrent mechanical stress, and failure of tissues to repair. This can come from lack of nutrients, lack of circulation, aging and inflammation. When this happens the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage become dehydrated and weaker. This results in laxity and more abnormal mechanical stress and shearing forces on the joint. Abnormal shearing forces and torsion cause more joint dysfunction. This leads to a progressive separation of the ligaments from the superficial covering on the bone called the periosteum. This pulling on the periosteum creates a space, which the body fills in with new bone. These new parts of bone are called osteophytes. They are the premier signs of degenerative arthritis in & around the joint. Osteophytes and joint laxity result in a reduced range of motion, which causes strain on surrounding muscles which then become either over or under worked leading to more dysfunction & pain.
Prolozone causes repair and tightening of the lax structures, partially torn connective tissue and ligaments. Prolozone halts the pain/inflammation cycle. This allows for better circulation, increased blood flow carrying nutrition, and hydration of the damaged tissues. This allows for a healing environment within the joint to develop and results in increased range of motion and decreased pain.

FAQ ABOUT COLON HYDROPTHERAPY
What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
Colon hydrotherapy, commonly referred to as a colonic, is a safe and effective method of removing waste from the large intestine. Triple filtered and temperature regulated water is slowly introduced into the colon via the rectum. The waste is softened and loosened with evacuation accomplished through natural peristalsis. It is a closed, sanitary system with releases made through the waste tubing. All tubing is single use and disposable. The process of slowly filling the colon with water and then releasing the waste is repeated several times during a session.
Does it hurt?
Colon hydrotherapy should not be painful. If you experience pain, you need to inform your therapist immediately. You may feel some pressure in the rectum upon insertion of the speculum. You may feel full as water is infused into your colon and may have an urgent sensation of needing to have a BM. This is normal. You may experience some abdominal cramping during the colonic but this is easily managed with a release and massage.
Is it Safe?
Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe, relaxing, and non-invasive procedure that can cleanse the entire large intestine. It’s just like giving the colon a bath with warm filtered water. Modern colon hydrotherapy equipment is manufactured through compliance with strict FDA guidelines that dictate rigorous accountability. The FDA-registered equipment features temperature controlled water mixing and back flow prevention valves, pressure and temperature sensors and a built-in chemical sanitizing unit and water purification unit. Disposable single-use tubing is used. Danbury Hospital in Danbury CT uses the same system we use at Cardea as an alternative colonoscopy prep.
What about “friendly bacteria” being lost?
Studies have shown that a number of good bacteria will be flushed out during a colonic but those that remain are not destroyed and will quickly repopulate the gut.
How many treatments do I need?
Every person is different and changes in our lives create different stresses, so there is no standard number of treatments that are recommended. It depends on your personal health objectives. Even though a person feels relief even after an initial session, it is necessary to take additional colonics to sufficiently cleanse the colon. We suggest you book a single treatment initially and discuss with your therapist during the consultation what their recommendations are. In our experience we have found that a course of 3 treatments over an initial 2-3 week timeframe produces the best results with regular maintenance thereafter.
How should I prepare for the colonic?
We recommend that you refrain from eating at least two hours prior to your appointment and ensure that you are well hydrated.
What happens during a colonic?
A session is a comfortable experience for many people. While lying on a massage table, a small amount of warm, filtered water will flow into the colon, gently stimulating the colon’s natural peristaltic action to release softened waste. The inflow of a small amount of water and the release of waste may be repeated several times. The removal of waste should encourage better colon function and elimination. When you feel the urge to eliminate, the unit goes to empty and with no effort, odor or noise, your body will eliminate any fecal matter that it is ready to release. Your initial visit includes a health history intake. A session lasts approximately 90 minutes and actual table time is 40-60 minutes. The room is immaculate, comfortable, and quiet and has an adjoining bathroom. Aromatherapy, soft lighting and music will help you relax.
How will I feel afterwards?
There may well be a feeling of lightness and people are often energized following a colonic. Rarely, one may feel sleepy after a colonic and want a nap. Both are normal reactions.
Will I have regular bowel movements after a colonic?
You may not have a bowel movement for a day or two following your colonic. It depends on how much you released during the colonic, your diet and what is called, transit time. This is the time it takes for food to leave your stomach and travel through your intestines. There then should be the resumption of a somewhat larger, easier to move stool. Rarely is diarrhea or loose bowels experienced. This may be due to the extra water introduced into the colon. If it should occur, it is usually of very short duration. *These statements have not been approved by the FDA. This is not intended to treat, diagnose, or prevent disease.

Medical cannabis is a plant-based therapy that works with one of the regulatory networks in your body – the endocannabinoid system.
There are two primary components (cannabinoids) found in cannabis, THC and CBD, which act synergistically to manage pain, relax muscles, regulate the immune response and stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal itself. THC has been shown to have many therapeutic and physiological benefits important for pain management. Its non psychoactive counterpart, CBD, acts as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Unlike narcotics, these compounds bind to pain receptors to minimize discomfort and inflammation at the source. Over 100 cannabinoids have been identified in the cannabis plant – each with their own unique action, working with THC and CBD to provide a more comprehensive therapy for pain relief.
