Since naturopathic medicine became a licensed profession in California and the first licenses were issued in January 2005, we have hired new doctors and offered new services to help our patients improve their health and manage their illnesses with innovative natural therapies. The clinic currently provides B12 shots for stress, fatigue and anemia and intramuscular administration of certain homeopathic medicines for trauma and pain. Now we are please to announce that we are offering the popular Myers Cocktail IV nutrient therapy. We are all familiar with IV therapy in hospital settings, where drugs and other substances are administered during surgery or in emergency situations. In clinics, IV nutrients help support optimal health by delivering vitamins and minerals directly to our cells. IV administration of nutrients can achieve serum concentrations not attainable with oral routes, as digestion and absorption are not an issue. IV nutrient therapy is more effective for getting nutrients into tissues where they can have the most benefit. Conditions that have shown improvement with the use of Myers Cocktails include asthma, migraines, fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, cardiovascular disease, respiratory infections, season allergies, drug withdrawal, chronic hives, hyperthyroidism, chronic viral infections such and hepatitis C, and immune support for can patients. Some people find them effective for health enhancement, healthy aging or improving athletic performance. Let's look at IV magnesium, for example. Studies have shown that many people dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome have signs of magnesium deficiency, and when IV magnesium is given, 80% report improvement in pain, energy and moods. IV magnesium is also a well-documented therapy for people suffering from migraines and asthma. Nutrient IVs are most-often combinations of vitamins and minerals but may be single nutrient therapies. Individual health conditions and goals determine which of these approaches are best. Dr. Erika Horowitz has extensive training in the use and administration of IV nutrient therapy and is the clinic's lead doctor for this therapy. If you think IV nutrients may be helpful for you or have questions, you can contact Dr. Horowitz at the clinic and set up a 15-minute free consult to discuss this with her.
