IV Therapy
Integrating the evidence into medicine for IV therapy!What is IV therapy?
IV therapy is just what it implies—therapy given intravenously (IV). Most IV therapy involves vitamins and minerals. Intravenous therapy allows a direct, specific combination, and higher dose attack for vitamin/mineral deficiencies, in disease, and in wellness optimization.
Intravenous vitamin C as one common example of IV therapy. Intravenous vitamin C has been used by medical practitioners since 1949 in the treatment of polio. Since that time, high dose IV vitamin C therapy has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of a variety of symptoms, dysfunctions, and diseases:
- Cancer
- Autoimmune disease
- Reduction in oxidative stress
- Reduction of inflammation
- Reduction in pain
- Treatment as an anti-bacterial
- Treatment as an anti-viral
- Treatment of sepsis
- Treatment of elevated blood pressure
- Treatment of Parkinson’s disease
- Treatment of neuropathy
- Treatment of hepatitis
- Support of detoxification
Intravenous vitamin C therapy can be used alone or in combination with traditional therapies. The perfect example is in cancer. Intravenous vitamin C therapy can act as a pro-oxidant, chemotherapeutic agent and IV vitamin C can be used as an antioxidant addition in cancer treatment to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and to reduce the required dose of chemotherapy. The difference provided is in the dose of vitamin C given.
