IV with me? Nutrient therapy, Ketamine and Meditation
I remember getting IV nutrient therapy 20 years ago in school. I was the preferred test patient for all things vein related at 5' 2, 100 pounds and always freezing cold in Seattle. I was the difficult stick and everyone wanted to practice on me- so fun:-(
We started with a Myers Cocktail in school and continue to offer it as an introduction to new IV therapy patients.
In the 1950's, Dr. John Myers was well known for treating difficult conditions like fatigue, migraines, allergies and chronic pain with an IV mixture of B- vitamins, magnesium and vitamin C. His treatments were so popular and successful, they remain part of both conventional and integrative care today.
According to Myers' cocktail studies and reviews, since the cocktails are made of vitamins and minerals, they tend to be well tolerated by patients. Since treatment is administered intravenously vs. passing the digestive system, higher concentrations of the vitamins are more easily absorbed and thus bioavailable to the body.
Personally, I have benefited from IV therapy for 2 main reasons, I have a compound heterozygous MTHFR mutation slowing down my ability to absorb B-vitamins and I am chronically dehydrated. I am one of those "never thirsty types" and it is a constant battle for me to stay hydrated.
Many people have absorption issues like myself from genetic issues or commonly, from digestive issues. Eating a clean and nutrient dense diet is the goal for everyone but if your digestion is not optimal, your diet is only as healthy as what you are able to absorb. Bypassing digestion and going straight to your cells, is an excellent way to jump start your health and give your digestive system a break. For me, when I am not utilizing nutrients like B-vitamins, I get anxious and overwhelmed, my sleep suffers and I get sore/achy muscles and joints. IV nutrients proved a sense of calmness and I am able to workout and recover.
As we age we start to lose the ability to retain fluid in our cells. Hormones play a significant role in keeping cells hydrated, our joints lubricated and our skin elastic. As hormones decrease, it becomes more difficult to stay hydrated. Dry mouth, sagging skin, creaking joints and the constant need to go to the bathroom. As we age it feels like we drink water and it seems to go right through us. This is the stage at which minerals become important to us so we can actually hold on to water and water can be hydrating again. For me, aging coupled with always forgetting to drink water creates brain fog and muscle tension. IV therapy reminds me how important it is to stay hydrated because I feel like a new person when I have the fluids my body needs.
We start with a Myers for everyone however because we do medical IV's here at Remedy we are able to customize your specific nutrients and we can go above and beyond a Myers as indicated for each patient.
If you are already a patient here at Remedy and want to know if IV nutrition is right for you, reach out.
