Optimizing Health: One Drip at a Time

When it comes to the health and wellbeing of our patients, the provision of effective, efficient, and safe care is our utmost priority. Intravenous (IV) therapy, one of our key services, embodies these principles, delivering essential fluids, nutrients, and medications directly into the patient's bloodstream. This method of administration offers several advantages, such as rapid onset of action and precise control over dosage, ensuring that the patients receive the exact treatment they need in a timely manner.

IV therapy is, without a doubt, a versatile tool in our healthcare services. From hydration solutions to vitamin infusions, and from antibiotic medications to critical care drugs, IV therapy caters to a wide spectrum of health needs. Thanks to its versatility, whether a patient is in need of a quick energy boost or requires critical care support, IV therapy stands as a reliable and efficient solution.

The purpose of an IV approach to nutritional therapies

IV therapy revolutionizes the way we replenish our body's essential nutrients, circumventing common barriers that can impede optimal health. Traditional oral supplements can lose effectiveness due to the first-pass effect of metabolism, where the concentration of the nutrient is significantly reduced before it enters circulation.

But with IV therapy, we bypass this altogether, ensuring that a fuller, more potent dose of vitamins and minerals goes straight into your bloodstream. This method not only minimizes gastrointestinal upset that some experience with oral supplements, but it also can have a more immediate and powerful effect on wellness. The body can absorb an impressive 10-20 times more nutrients compared to the conventional routes, meaning your body gets more of what it needs to thrive.

Whether you're looking to boost your energy levels, enhance your immune system, or simply maintain hydration, IV therapy can be a game-changer in your health and wellness routine, offering you a direct highway to better health!

Pre-procedure workup

Prior to beginning IV therapy, patients are advised to engage in a brief consultation with one of our healthcare professionals. This step is crucial to ascertain whether IV hydration is the optimal choice for their individual health needs. Based on their underlying medical conditions and requirements, our experts will recommend the most suitable type of therapy. Additionally, pre-infusion laboratory tests will be conducted to identify which nutrients need replenishing, uncover any deficiencies, or determine the need for immune support. It's also critical to discuss any known allergies, including environmental ones, and review prior treatments along with the patient's responses to them—whether positive or negative. By understanding both the chemical compounds involved in IV therapy and the intricate details gleaned from lab tests, we can tailor-make IV cocktails that are specifically customized to each patient's unique health profile.

IV Glutathione Treatments
  • Glutathione is a major antioxidant produced endogenously by cells to neutralize free radicals.
  • It also helps maintain Vitamin C and E in their reduced form (active).
  • It is a key antioxidant in the metabolic and biochemical reactions for DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, prostaglandin synthesis, and amino acid transport.
  • Glutathione exists in two forms: GSH is the reduced state, whereas GSSG is the oxidized state. In healthy cells, glutathione is 90% GSH and 10% GSSG.

When the GSSG-to-GSH ratio is increased, it equates to increased oxidative stress.

  • Glutathione is a crucial molecule in every human cell and acts as the primary intracellular protector against oxidative stress.
  • It is a tripeptide amino acid (glutamate-cysteine-glycine) that works to prevent damage to important cellular components by "Reactive Oxygen Species" (ROS), such as free radicals, peroxides, and heavy metals.
  • Glutathione (GSH) acts as our body's most potent antioxidant, both directly and indirectly, to preserve and protect all cells in the body from oxidation.
  • Glutathione is one of only four central antioxidative systems in our body. The majority of chronic neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Multiple Sclerosis, have even been linked to low glutathione levels.

Why Not Just Take Glutathione Orally?

  • GSH has very poor absorption and is quickly broken down by protease enzymes when taken orally. The IV delivery of GSH is far superior and can be actively utilized by the cells.

Glutathione: Benefits and Potential Uses

  • Glutathione deficiency is one of the most common characteristics of very ill patients.
  • Patients suffering from CFS, Parkinson's Disease, Autism, Chronic Infections, Kidney problems, Liver Disease, and Autoimmune Diseases all typically suffer from low levels of Glutathione.
  • Glutathione is a naturally produced molecule of proteins and amino acids - cysteine, glycine, and glutamine.
  • The sulfur within glutathione traps free radicals and toxins as they flow through the body and must be recycled. Specific genes (GSTM1 and GSTP1) are required.
  • When free radicals enter the body, they are passed from vitamin C to vitamin E, lipoic acid, and finally to glutathione. It is critically important to the immune system and detox as toxins stick to the molecule that travels them into bile and stool.
  • Research also shows that raised glutathione levels can increase strength and endurance, shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development, and decrease muscle damage.
  • Glutathione can be delivered intravenously (slow delivery is a must) and by injection via the muscle.
  • Possible side effects are low zinc levels.

Minerals: Benefits & Potential Uses in IV Solutions

Magnesium: Food sources have decreased, and studies indicate that approximately 75% of people still need to meet the recommended daily allowance of magnesium. Magnesium is a cofactor for more than 300 metabolic reactions in the body and is essential for healthy bones, teeth, heart, and brain tissue. It plays a key role in energy production, muscle relaxation, the severity of headaches, stress reduction, and promoting sleep.

Calcium: Besides promoting healthy teeth and bones, calcium helps trigger the clotting process by activating fibrin. In association with magnesium, it helps in regulating heartbeats, contracting muscles, maintaining muscle tone, and facilitating nerve conduction. Magnesium and calcium need to be balanced with each other for optimal health.

Zinc: It is estimated that 25% of people are at risk of zinc deficiency, with the World Health Organization stating that zinc deficiency affects 31% of the population. Zinc promotes numerous biochemical pathways and is essential for the immune system, skin, hair, and nails. It also plays a role in stabilizing mood, taste, smell, appetite, fertility, and vision.

Selenium: Selenium levels globally are declining, raising concerns about the possible health risks related to cancer and cardiovascular disease. Selenium is incorporated into proteins and has many health benefits. It boosts immune function, brain function, and thyroid function, making it beneficial for anti-aging purposes.

Commonly Used Antioxidants in IV Therapies

Glutathione (GSH): Glutathione is one of the most important antioxidants. It has the highest levels in healthy young people, lower levels in healthy elderly populations, even lower levels in sick elderly individuals, and the lowest levels in the hospitalized elderly population.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid: Alpha-lipoic acid is an organic compound that acts as an antioxidant in the body. It is produced within the body and can also be found in certain foods and dietary supplements. Research suggests that alpha-lipoic acid may reduce the activity of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the hypothalamus, potentially increasing calorie expenditure. However, results from animal and human studies vary. It has been studied for its antioxidant properties and its potential benefits in conditions such as diabetes, weight loss, and inflammation.

Coenzyme Q10: CoQ10 is a natural substance found in all human cells, with the highest levels in organs requiring high amounts of energy, like the heart, liver, and kidneys. CoQ10 is produced by the body and stored in the mitochondria of cells. Its primary role is to help generate energy by aiding in the creation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and facilitating energy transfer within cells. CoQ10 is considered crucial as an antioxidant due to its ability to protect cells from oxidative damage.

Antioxidant Boosters

IV Poly MVA: Treatment with IV Poly MVA helps eliminate free radicals, making it particularly beneficial for patients with degenerative diseases. Additionally, this complex converts free radicals into energy, which is advantageous for various chronic conditions. Conditions that could benefit from IV Poly MVA include senility, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cachexia, diabetes, endometriosis, fatigue, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, neuropathies, and conditions caused by hypoxia (lack of oxygen) like stroke.

IV Nutrition Therapies: Quick Summary

IV therapy can benefit almost anyone, providing an additional boost in mood and energy. It is especially helpful for individuals with higher nutrient needs, such as athletes, students, and professionals under high acute or chronic stress levels, as well as those with compromised immune function.

Nutrients can be administered through a syringe as a gentle "push" or as a drip over a specific timeframe. This method is particularly suitable for individuals with compromised digestive health and poor absorption of oral nutrients.

Frequency of Treatments

The frequency of IV therapy varies based on the patient and condition being treated. Acute conditions may require one or two treatments, while those preparing for athletic events or high-stress situations may undergo weekly therapy for three to five weeks or more.

Monthly treatments are effective for chronic conditions, promoting general health maintenance and immune support. Ongoing conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and depression are assessed individually to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
