Intravenous Nutrient Therapy (IVNT) is a safe and effective method of promoting health and wellness by administering natural vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream.
It’s an Integrative Medicine approach to preventive, holistic wellness created by Dr. John Myers in the 1950s. Myers, a physician based in Baltimore, Maryland, started using injections of various nutrients to treat his patients with various chronic conditions in the 1950’s. He found that when he administered these nutrient injections alongside other therapies, it significantly reduced the symptoms of conditions such as migraines, mood disorders, asthma, fatigue, muscle spasms and more.
With 20 years of research on these nutrient injections, it became coined the ‘Myers Cocktail’, which was later popularized by Dr. Alan Gaby in the 1970’s after modifying Dr. Myers original protocol. The Myers cocktail has now also successfully treated patients with various respiratory tract infections, allergies, pain, cardiovascular diseases and other chronic diseases. The medical community has been using IV therapies for years to treat all kinds of conditions, however Dr. Myer’s and Dr. Gaby normalized it and made it available to the public.
BENEFITS
The benefits of taking these nutrients via the Intravenous (IV) route surpasses oral supplementation, because it has a higher bioavailability. This means that the body is able to absorb more of the nutrients which will have an active effect on the cells. When taken via the IV route, the absorption rate is almost 100% versus when taken via oral supplementation where the absorption rate is less than 30%. Additionally, the body’s ability to transport these vitamins, to a great extent, is affected by lifestyle and health. Some health conditions and medications, age, food-drug interactions and even alcohol consumption can also affect the body’s ability to absorb oral supplements.
Dr. Myers passed away in the 1980’s and since then Dr. Gaby has administer hundreds of thousands of Myers’ cocktails. From the success of the Myers’ cocktail the field of IVNT grew to address various health and wellness conditions. Apart from treating chronic conditions, it became used widely as preventative and integrative medicine approach to holistic wellness. Paired with hydration, people who received these cocktails reported feeling a boost of energy and being in much better health.
