IV NUTRITIONAL THERAPIES FAQ

IV nutritional therapy can provide enormous health benefits depending on the condition(s) being treated,the specific protocol(s) used, the number of treatments and the overall health of the patient being treated. In many respects, IV nutritional therapy is a preventive aging measure since it improves the nutritional content inside of the cells. Some of the specific benefits that patients may experience include:

•  Increased energy.

• An overall sense of well being.

•  Improved sports performance.

•   Improved healing and recovery from sports “wear and tear” or even surgical procedures.

•   Enhanced immune support.

•   Stress relief.

IV therapy is so powerful that many patients report many of these benefits within hours of receiving the treatment. Some conditions including chronic diseases like Fibromyalgia require periodic treatments in order to maintain the benefits.

The Myers’ cocktail is one of the more commonly known vitamin therapies and is sometimes referred to as the “Wellness” cocktail. It consists of Magnesium, Calcium, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin C. People who feel run down, “stressed out” and fatigued may benefit tremendously from the Myers’ cocktail. Many report that they feel completely rejuvenated after a single treatment, and the results can last from several days to several months.

The most common complications of Intravenous Nutrient therapy include pain, irritation, inflammation or bruising at the injection site. Systemic complications such as an allergy to a substance can occur, but this is rare and is associated when using a solution that contains preservatives. The ingredients used in the IV nutritional therapies at Reincarnation Medical Spa/ Center for Advanced Preventive/Regenerative Medicine do not contain any preservatives. In general, these therapies are very safe, well tolerated and pose minimal if any negative side effects.

The first step in considering IV nutritional therapy is to schedule a Comprehensive Initial Assessment. With lab results in hand combined with your detailed health history and specific issues, your doctor will outline the specific treatment plan that is most likely to help you improve your health.

1. Do you skip breakfast because you’re running late to your job?
2. Do you eat a lot of processed foods and very few fresh fruits and vegetables?
3. Does your new baby or your Facebook account keep you from getting enough sleep at night?
4. If you’re like most of us, you can probably answer “yes” to at least one of these questions. The normal stresses of busy modern life help reinforce these bad habits.

“Tired and run-down” can be just the tip of the iceberg!

After years of stress, poor nutrition, and lack of sleep – compounded by the inevitable exposure to environmental toxins we get at home, work, and in our food and water – the problems can really snowball. You may become profoundly exhausted all the time (chronic fatigue), feel irritable, and develop brain fog, and that doesn’t begin to address more serious health problems that can occur over the long term.

Vitamin deficiency is much more common than you think!

Because of poor soil quality, our vegetable and fruits lack minerals and because of the small amounts of vitamins that manufacturers add to food (Vitamin D in milk and B vitamins in bread, for example), the vitamin deficiencies that exist in modern-day America are not usually so obvious – yet they DO exist. In fact, vitamin, mineral, and other nutrient deficiencies are COMMON! Also, what was once considered the minimum required am(called the RDA, or recommended daily allowance) is now thought by many natural medicine doctors to be far less than the optimal amount for supporting critical processes in your body and for improving your overall health and vitality. And after all, improving your health and vitality is what we’re all about!
