Why use IV Drips or Therapies?

IV Therapy is the use of intravenous (IV) nutrition. Delivering natural vitamins, minerals, and amino acids through an IV provides benefits that you don’t get when taking vitamins orally. Vitamins consumed through the mouth must be processed through the stomach and the intestines. Many substances may be rendered inactive in the digestive tract, or they may not be absorbed sufficiently due to poor intestinal function. By getting the nutrients intravenously, that processing gets bypassed completely and higher than normal blood levels can be achieved. These increased levels can provide an immediate therapeutic response by correcting deficiencies that may arise from a diseased state.

IV Therapy Offered at Living Springs Natural Health:
 

• High Dose Vitamin C: 
  Vitamin C may be given by IV infusion or taken by mouth. Much higher blood levels are reached when vitamin C is given intravenously. When given by intravenous (IV) infusion, vitamin C can reach higher levels in the blood than when it is taken by mouth.
  * High-dose Vitamin C is not tolerated well when taken orally
  * Much higher blood levels achieved with IV form of Vitamin C
  * Boosts the immune system
  * Assists in detoxification of the body

• Meyers Cocktail:
  There have been many published studies done by Alan Gaby, M.D., and Jonathan Wright, M.D.on the benefits and therapeutic use of intravenous nutrients. The nutrients work in your body to help balance and support your entire system. If you tend to be anxious or overstressed, it can help to calm and relax you. If you tend to have fatigue and feel run down, it can help boost your energy.  The Myers has been used to relieve fibromyalgia for 20 years. There has been excellent clinical success with the Myers to reduce pain and promote detoxification.
   

• Ozone Therapy aka MAH (Major Autohemotherapy):
  MAH is the process in which we ozonate the blood directly. The procedure is an IV in which ~8 ounces of blood is drained into a sterile bag. Once the desired amount of blood is achieved, we then add Calcium and Glutathione (these are mitochondrial stimulants). Since ozone works
  directly on the mitochondria of the cells, we “wake” the mitochondria up with the Calcium and Glutathione, essentially telling them something good is about to happen! Then the Ozone gas is added to the bag in the ratio of 1ml ozone to 1ml of blood. This is where the magic
  happens… the bag of blood is then rocked gently while the red blood cells absorb the ozone. When the blood turns from a maroon color to a bright red, we know that the red cells have soaked up all of the ozone. The blood is then hung and returned back to the body by gravity.

• UVBI (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation) aka Photoluminescence:
  The UVBI is very useful in situations where there are foreign pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasites, cancer cells, etc…) in the body. In the early 1900’s, ultraviolet light was used as a treatment for bacteria, fungus, viruses and parasites. With the invention of antibiotics, the UVBI became less and less.
