Vitamins and minerals provide the raw
materials necessary for our cells to
function properly. Usually we can get these
nutrients through our diet if we are
conscientious of what we eat. However,
sometimes even a great diet may not
translate to proper nutrition at the
cellular level. There can be many causes of
this, which may include poor digestion, food
sensitivities, chronic inflammation, poor
immune function, or any sickness. A vicious
cycle ensues. Our cells are not healthy and
they need nutrients to heal. But, the
nutrients are not available because our
cells are too weak to transport the vitamins
and minerals to where they are needed. This
scenario describes a typical situation in
which intravenous vitamin (IV) therapy would
be indicated.
Intravenous therapy takes place when
medicine is injected directly into the veins
and often works more swiftly and
successfully than medicine given through the
stomach. In the past, a very limited amount
drugs could be administered intravenously,
but in today’s health care world the number
has been greatly extended with applications
for many additional disease treatments.
Especially in cases of pneumonia and
diphtheria, the rapid passage of the
medicine through the body using intravenous
therapy gives it an advantage over the much
slower process of ingesting medication
orally.
There are numerous conditions that IV
therapy and chelation therapy (injection of
a solution into the bloodstream that binds
with metals and passes through the kidneys
for removal from the body) can improve.
Patients Medical can tailor the IV protocol
by varying the type and amounts of
nutrients. When this is done, IV therapy can
be beneficial for:
It can even be used periodically in healthy
people to enhance overall well-being.
It is impossible orally to attain the high
levels of nutrients that IV vitamins are
capable of delivering. Oral vitamins and
nutrients are converted or broken down in
the stomach and liver during the absorption
process. High doses often cause
gastrointestinal symptoms and diarrhea. IV
nutrients go directly into the bloodstream
in an unaltered, safe form that is very well
tolerated, with minimal or no side effects.
Intravenous vitamin C is especially
effective in fighting viruses and cancer
cells, while being completely safe for all
normal cells. It is because of this
characteristic that IV vitamin C is
particularly useful in knocking out the
viruses of the common cold, flu, and sore
throat. Patients often start feeling better
within hours of administration.
IV
Therapy for Fibromyalgia
The fatigue, pain, and depression from
chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are real,
and they have a cause. More importantly,
help is available. At Patients Medical we
don't just treat the symptoms of these
disorders—we take a comprehensive approach
that has the potential to reverse these
conditions, alleviating pain, increasing
energy, and boosting immunity.
People suffering with fibromyalgia or
chronic fatigue are believed to have
impaired cellular function—particularly in
the way muscle cells handle calcium and
phosphate. This, in turn, stimulates painful
contractions and muscle spasms. To address
these problems, we prescribe a full regimen
of therapies, including IV doses of B
vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C, and other
nutrients proven to boost energy, improve
tissue repair, and relieve stress.
