Intravenous Therapy - Myers Cocktail

The "Myers Cocktail" is an intravenous therapy consisting of various mixes of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. It can be very useful in situations where oral nutrients or other therapies are not working. When nutrients are given intravenously, your digestive system is bypassed and a much higher level of nutrition can be delivered directly to your cells via the bloodstream.

The nutrients then kick-start those cells which are performing below par. This type of therapy would be especially appropriate for anyone who has digestive problems, including bloating, diarrhea, food allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, or other GI problem.

The general effect of a Myers Cocktail intravenous therapy appears to be a marked improvement in the energy capacity and function of cells. If your cells can function at their best, it's more likely you can recover from a serious health problem.

Back in the mid-1900s, Dr. John Myers was the first physician to extensively use intravenous nutrient therapy to obtain positive clinical results for a variety of medical conditions. Today, hundreds of physicians offer variations of the Myers Cocktail.

People respond differently to intravenous nutrient therapy. Some may only need an occasional Myers Cocktail, while others may need one monthly or even weekly in order to keep their chronic condition under control.

The Myers Cocktail IV therapy may be helpful for many chronic or acute conditions, including fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, infection, asthma, chest pain, congestive heart failure, palpitations, migraine headaches, cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems, seasonal allergies, hives, hyperthyroidism, and acute muscle spasms, to name a few. A Myers Cocktail can even help athletes recover faster from an illness so they can participate in an event.

If you or a loved one has a health problem that is not getting better, talk to one of our physicians about the appropriateness of naturopathy and a Myers Cocktail intravenous therapy.
