A Myers\u2019 \u201cWellness\u201d Cocktail is a nutritional \u201ccocktail\u201d given intravenously (IV), or through a vein.\u00a0\u00a0It consists of\u00a0magnesium, calcium, various B vitamins, and vitamin C.\u00a0\u00a0The Myers\u2019 Cocktail has been used to treat general fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome\/fibromyalgia, relieve acute asthma attacks, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic sinus infections, seasonal allergies, migraine headaches, muscle spasms, menstrual cramps, as well as to support recovery from endurance athletics.\u00a0Many relatively healthy patients choose to receive periodic Myers\u2019 Cocktail injections because it enhances their overall well being for variable periods of time.<\/p>\n
This cocktail is named after John Myers, a physician from Baltimore, Maryland.\u00a0\u00a0He treated patients with IV nutrient therapy for over 25 years. Since then, thousands of patients nationwide have received this cocktail with great benefits.<\/p>\n
IV administration of nutrients can achieve blood concentrations not obtainable with oral (pills or liquid), or even intramuscular (IM) administration. For example, an IV of Vitamin C can raise the blood levels 50 \u2013 100 times higher than what a person can do taking it orally.\u00a0\u00a0Because of this, a person doesn\u2019t develop diarrhea and at these higher blood levels, IV vitamin C can exert effects similar to pharmaceutical drugs such as antivirals (e.g. influenza drugs), anti-histamines (e.g. Benadryl or Claritin), or smooth muscle relaxants (e.g. asthma and angina drugs).<\/p>\n
IV nutrient therapy may be more effective for correcting nutrient deficits inside cells, where they are needed.\u00a0\u00a0In certain disease states, the capacity of nutrients to get in and stay inside the cells may be diminished.\u00a0\u00a0IV administration helps get those nutrients inside the cell.\u00a0\u00a0If cells are repeatedly \u201cflooded\u201d with nutrients, the improvement may be cumulative in their ability to heal, and improve their illness\/condition.<\/p>\n
When treating patients with IV nutrition, some patients get progressively better and after a series of treatments no longer require therapy.\u00a0\u00a0Other patients need regular injections in order to better control and counteract their medical conditions.\u00a0In some cases, continued IV therapy may be necessary because a person\u2019s disease state is too advanced to be reversible, therefore ongoing IV nutritional support is recommended.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest reasons we recommend and administer Wellness IVs is because a person is run down, fatigued, under moderate to severe stress or is at the beginning of an illness such as flu or cold.\u00a0\u00a0Many patients respond to treatment with results\u00a0lasting days to several months.\u00a0\u00a0About 50% of the people we have given IV Myers\u2019 for an oncoming flu\/cold\/respiratory bug get immediate relief and resolution of their illness.\u00a0\u00a0Others get a significant reduction in illness severity and length.<\/p>\n
Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or fibromyalgia usually improve with weekly or twice monthly injections.\u00a0\u00a0In some cases, the improvements are after the first IV, others after 3-4 treatments.\u00a0\u00a0As mentioned above, some patients become progressively healthier and eventually stop treatment.\u00a0\u00a0Other patients maintain periodic injections to help them function better and restore more energy.<\/p>\n
Other conditions we have treated with good success include depression, recovery from athletic training or endurance events, allergies, drug withdrawal, and menstrual cramps.<\/p>\n
Does feeling better and having great stamina and energy count as a side effect?\u00a0\u00a0IV Nutrient Therapy is generally very safe and poses minimal if any negative side effects.<\/p>\n
Given too fast, an IV may lower blood pressure causing warmth, dizziness or faintness (so we don\u2019t do that!).\u00a0\u00a0The only known allergic reaction to IV nutrients has been when using those with preservatives, and these reactions are quite rare.\u00a0\u00a0Some patients may experience burning at the localized IV site.\u00a0\u00a0As with any injectable treatment, there is always a risk of infection or phlebitis, although it is also very rare.<\/p>\n
I have been administering IV nutrients for over 10 years, am a licensed medical provider in the state of Colorado and have an extensive background in intensive\/critical care.\u00a0\u00a0Experience counts if there is ever an urgent or emergent situation, and although chances are quite minimal of this occurring it can happen.\u00a0\u00a0From a legal standpoint, a patient should seek IV treatment from a properly licensed medical professional who can legally obtain and administer medication and who also has advanced training in dealing with medical emergencies.\u00a0\u00a0These laws vary from state to state as to what constitutes and defines a medical provider, so be sure to seek a professional who is licensed in the state in which they are currently practicing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
