Conditions aided by IV Treatments in Sarasota FL

Anti-aging Therapy and Health Optimization

As we get older the effects of chronic stress, including suboptimal nutrition and our toxic world, take their toll on us. There are many pieces to the puzzle of maintaining and optimizing health, reversing biological age, and aging gracefully. IV (and IM) nutrition can be used as one of the tools to quickly restore nutrient levels thereby making it easier to sustain via proper lifestyle habits.

Nutritional Deficiencies

One of the biggest benefits of IV therapy is to correct nutritional deficiencies that are EXTREMELY common in our society. Small nutritional deficiencies can cause large metabolic problems such as in accelerated aging and the development of chronic conditions. Every large-scale study ever performed demonstrates widespread nutrient deficiencies in the general population. This is even more pronounced in those with chronic health challenges. IV nutritional infusions should not be used in place of proper diet and sound oral nutritional supplementation, but rather as a tool to jumpstart the replenishment of nutrient deficiencies and/or imbalances.

Chronic Health Challenges

The vast majority of people these days have one or more chronic health challenges. They range from being overweight to diabetes, heart, circulatory, lung, kidney, digestive, musculoskeletal, auto immune, and/or neurological conditions and more. EVERY one of those has a nutritional component NO MATTER what ‘Modern Medicine’ says about them. In reality, modern medicine has NO EXPLANATION for what causes MOST chronic conditions. They also DO NOT even teach doctors about nutrition, that’s why most doctors are clueless about this entire area. IV nutrition is not and should not be considered a long term solution to anyone’s chronic health problems, BUT it can be an important place to start taking control of your health.

Suspected Toxicity / Heavy Metals

We live in an extremely toxic world, mostly of our making. Industrialization has led to huge amounts of thousands of different toxins being spewed into our air, water, and soil. Not unsurprisingly, much of this ends up in our bodies and our bodies are not designed to or adapted to deal with them. IV nutrients and chelators have been shown to play a major role in helping our bodies to eliminate many of these toxic substances.

Digestive or Absorptive Issues

A startling high percentage of the population has ‘digestive issues’ that they are aware of; many others have digestive issues that they have either learned to live with or are not aware of. Indigestion, heartburn, bleeding, bloating, burning, burping, abdominal pain, nausea, excess gas, diarrhea, or constipation vomiting and more, all point toward digestive challenges. Just look at the number of commercials for medications focused on alleviating some of these symptoms and you’ll have an idea of the number of people suffering from seemingly ‘minor’ digestive issues. No digestive issue is minor, they all impact our long-term health.

Sports Medicine and Performance Related

Healing from an injury (sports medicine) or optimizing performance both require optimum levels of dozens of vital nutrients. Very few people, including athletes and those recovering from an injury, get optimum amounts of all the nutrients; IV Nutrient Therapy is a simple way to ensure that we have every key, essential nutrient ‘onboard.’ Enhancing performance is all about nutrition and providing the best possible nourishment to the cellular energy production process. IV nutrition can be a useful tool to boost recovery and performance.

Infections and Immune System Enhancement

High dose IV Vitamin C has been used for decades to fight a wide variety of infections and toxic exposures. It absolutely gives the immune system a significant boost. There are also synergistic effects of combining high dose Vit C with other vital nutrients (vitamins, minerals and other substances, even antibiotics, for severe infections with multiple beneficial mechanisms identified. Vitamin C in higher doses can be extremely helpful for many things, however, oral intake at higher levels can be problematic. Compounds like zinc help increase the availability of white blood cells and infection fighting T cells. Zinc supplementation has even been shown to slow the growth of cancer cells. Magnesium is vital to over 500 metabolic pathways including several involving the immune response. Pantothenic acid B5 plays a role in metabolism and immune function. It naturally stimulates antibody formation and is known as the anti-stress vitamin.

Chemotherapy Side Effects and Damage to Healthy Cells

The adverse physiological effects of the strong chemotherapeutic drugs can be eased with nutrient and immune therapies that help restore a patient’s health and well-being. Chemotherapy is the ‘controlled’ use of toxic substances to kill cancerous cells, however, many normal, healthy cells are killed or damaged in the process. IV nutrient therapies can help to restore damaged nutrient levels caused by chemotherapy thereby improving the quality of a chemo patient’s life by improving how they feel and helping their immune system to recover from the toxic assault of chemo. Additionally, mood and stress enhancement therapies help to deal with the emotional strain of treatment.

Allergies

Higher doses of Vitamin C are known to reduce the level of histamines in the body and to bolster allergy fighting hormones in the adrenal glands. Vitamin C in higher doses can be extremely helpful for many things, however, oral intake at higher levels can be problematic. Compounds like zinc help increase the availability of white blood cells and infection fighting T cells. Zinc supplementation has even been shown to slow the growth of cancer cells. Pantothenic acid B5 plays a role in metabolism and immune function. It naturally stimulates antibody formation and is known as the anti-stress vitamin. Essential fatty acid supplementation reduces inflammation and can help moderate the immune response. Antioxidants like vitamin E, D and C reduce free radical damage.

Pre and Post Surgical Stress

Most patients undergo surgery in an already depleted nutritional state that often worsens as a result of the surgery. Optimizing nutrition or fluid balance improves patient comfort and increases the chances for a quicker and better recovery while helping to alleviate many of the complications that occur with surgery.

Stem Cell Support

Stem cell therapies are one of the TOP Age Reversal Technologies available with many applications. Stem cells are absolutely amazing AND they also need all the right nutrients to be available to do their job in helping to regenerate tissue. Most people are deficient in multiple nutrients, so doing a series of supportive IV nutrients is a great way to ensure the you receive maximum benefits from your stem cell investment.

Chronic Inflammation

This has become a huge problem that contributes to a wide range of chronic health challenges. There are a number of key nutrients that can help to modulate inflammation and by providing supraphysiologic doses of some of those we can help to stop the excessive inappropriate inflammation process.

IV Additives Frequently Used

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, meaning it can’t be produced by the body. Nevertheless, it has many roles in your body and has been linked to impressive health benefits. It is water-soluble and found in many fruits and vegetables provided the soil contains all the right nutrients, unfortunately, that is rarely the case.

• One of the main reasons people take vitamin C supplements is to boost their immune system function.
• Vitamin C is involved in many parts of the immune system.
• Vitamin C helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infections.
• Vitamin C helps these white blood cells function more effectively while protecting them from damage by potentially harmful molecules, such as free radicals.
• Vitamin C is an essential part of the skin’s defense system. It is actively transported to the skin where it can act as an antioxidant and help strengthen the skin’s barriers.
• Vitamin C may shorten wound healing time.
• Strong Antioxidant That May Reduce the Risk of Chronic Diseases.
• May Help Battle High Blood Pressure as well as many other conditions.
• Fights Heart Disease Risk Factors, Potentially Lowering Heart Disease Risk.
• Helps Prevent Iron Deficiencies by Improving Iron Absorption.
• Vitamin C is needed to make collagen. It strengthens the connective tissue in the skin, muscles, and blood vessels.

Magnesium

Magnesium is vital in over 500 different metabolic reactions in the body. Magnesium deficiency is widespread, this has been verified in many studies. Magnesium deficiency may lead to irregular heartbeats and can cause or worsen multiple medical conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, as well as lead to anxiety and tense muscles or spasms.

Magnesium through IV is often used in conjunction with a Myer’s cocktail which is a time proven IV therapy that combines several crucial vitamins and minerals in one treatment. Magnesium IV Drip effectively enhances the function of the muscular and nervous systems. Your body needs magnesium to perform over 500 biochemical reactions necessary to sustain life. Magnesium is also a natural calcium channel blocker that helps reduce the workload of the heart. Other symptoms caused by magnesium deficiency include:

• Anxiety: Anxiety is often treated with prescription medication. Many doctors do not consider that a lack of magnesium can stress your body and create or worsen anxiety. The Magnesium Push has proven effective in the treatment of anxiety in many of our patients.
• Cardiac Arrhythmias: Magnesium deficiency causes major stress on the muscular system. The most important muscle in the human body is the heart. There is an intricate connection between magnesium and the heart’s electrical stability. Magnesium deficiency may cause irregular heartbeats commonly known as arrhythmias. Magnesium IV/Push therapy results in the relaxation of the heart and dilates blood vessels. This allows the heart to work more efficiently.
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Magnesium is crucial for energy production in our Mitochondria, therefore deficiency is associated with fatigue. Proper magnesium levels are vital in lessening the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.
• Fibromyalgia: A severe deficiency of magnesium can cause the muscles in the body to be chronically tight and prone to spasms. Since the muscular and nervous systems are both involved in Fibromyalgia, there is a definite link between low magnesium levels and Fibromyalgia. Boosting andamp; balancing the levels of magnesium in your body through Magnesium IV therapy can improve and deter the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
• Hypertension: Magnesium is a powerful vasodilator. When blood vessels are dilated, blood pressure comes down dramatically. We will also recommend the state-of-the-art oral magnesium supplement to help maintain proper magnesium levels all the time. You will receive your Magnesium IV Drip in our relaxing, comfortable IV suite. You can read a book, listen to music, or even work on your laptop computer while you are being treated.

Zinc

Zinc is involved in approximately 300 different metabolic reactions, second only to magnesium. Zinc deficiency is also well documented to be widespread since the soil has been depleted of zinc for several decades. Zinc helps maintain the integrity of skin and mucosal membranes. Zinc is a trace element that is necessary for a healthy immune system. A lack of zinc can make a person more susceptible to disease and illness.

Zinc has a crucial role in regulating how neurons communicate with one another, affecting how memories are formed and how we learn. Zinc is beneficial in reducing the duration and severity of the common cold in healthy people when taken within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. Patients experiencing chronic wounds or ulcers often have deficient zinc metabolism and lower serum zinc levels.

Zinc is often used in skin creams for treating diaper rash or other skin irritations. Several studies and trials have linked poor zinc status with low sperm quality.

Methyl B12

Vitamin B12 is yet another nutrient that studies show to be deficient in a very large percentage of the population. B12 deficiency can occur in one of two ways. Either your diet lacks adequate amounts of it, or your body is unable to efficiently absorb the foods you eat.

Those at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency include Older adults, People with gastrointestinal disorders, such as Crohn’s disease or celiac disease, Those who have had gastrointestinal surgeries, such as bariatric surgery or bowel resection surgery, People on a strict vegan diet, Those who take metformin for blood sugar control, Those taking proton pump inhibitors for chronic heartburn. In many older adults, the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach is reduced, causing a reduction in the absorption of vitamin B12.

Benefits of B12:

• May Improve Mood and Symptoms of Depression
• May Benefit Your Brain by Preventing the Loss of Neurons.
• May Give You an Energy Boost.
• Vitamin B12 supplements have long been touted as the go-to product for a surge of energy.
• May Improve Heart Health by Decreasing Homocysteine.
• Supports Healthy Hair, Skin, and Nails.
• Helps With Red Blood Cell Formation and Anemia Prevention
• May Prevent Major Birth Defects.
• May Support Bone Health and Prevent Osteoporosis.
• May Reduce Your Risk of Macular Degeneration.

B Complex

B Vitamins – B Vitamins play a crucial role in many vital biochemical metabolic reactions including immune support and energy production.

Vitamin B complex is composed of eight B vitamins:

• B-1
• B-2
• B-3
• B-5
• B-6
• B-7
• B-9
• B-12

Each of these essential vitamins contributes to your overall bodily function. B vitamins play a vital role in maintaining good health and well-being. As the building blocks of a healthy body, B vitamins have a direct impact on your energy levels, brain function, and cell metabolism.

Vitamin B complex helps prevent infections and helps support or promote:

• cell health
• growth of red blood cells
• energy levels
• good eyesight
• healthy brain function
• good digestion
• healthy appetite
• proper nerve function
• hormones and cholesterol production
• cardiovascular health
• muscle tone

In women, B vitamins are especially important for women who are pregnant and breastfeeding. These vitamins aid in fetal brain development as well as reduce the risk of birth defects. And for expectant mothers, B vitamins may boost energy levels, ease nausea, and lower the risk of developing preeclampsia (along with proper magnesium levels).

In men, B vitamins are thought to increase testosterone levels in men, which naturally decrease with age. They may also help men build muscle and increase strength.

Chromium

Chromium is often used as a weight-loss aid and to control blood sugar. Chromium works by aiding the action of insulin in the body. Insulin is essential for the metabolism and storage of carbs, fats, and proteins in the body.

Selenium

Selenium is part of glutathione peroxidase which protects cell components from oxidative damage due to peroxides produced in cellular metabolism.

Amino Acids

Proteins are composed of Amino Acids which fit together to create muscle, bone, nerves, and virtually all of the structures that compose our bodies. There are Non-Essential Amino Acids that already exist and are manufactured biologically within your body. Essential Amino Acids have to come from food or supplements.

Amino Acids, however, do far more than build our cells and tissues, they are necessary for the synthesis of proteins, enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, metabolic pathways, and brain function. They repair damaged tissue while generating new ones. They, like water, are pivotal in almost every bodily function.
