IV therapy is a way to introduce nutrients and therapeutic agents directly into the bloodstream. It can be used to correct deficiencies, enhance immune function, increase energy and assist in maintaining health. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other natural agents can be administered in a pleasant relaxing atmosphere while a person reads, listens to music, or chats with other patients. IV therapy is often used to support a person with chronic or severe illness, who is undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments. It is also used to optimize nutrients essential for detoxification.
Chelation
Chelation is an Intravenous or oral therapy using the synthetic amino acid EDTA or sulfur derived compounds of DMPS or DMSA to detoxify the body. These chelators have the ability to bond or "claw" onto atoms of mercury, lead, cadmium, calcium, and many other heavy and trace minerals during this process and carry them away via the urinary or gastrointestinal tracts.
Cancer Support
There are many options for adjunctive and supportive care for those navigating the diagnosis of cancer. These options include counseling, energetic balancing, high dose IV vitamin C, and expert advice on supplementation and nutrition. Supportive care is available for those who choose to undergo chemotherapy treatments and radiation. These therapies often increase the overall well being and increase the quality of life of the patient.
