Benefits of Intravenous Therapy

Intravenous therapy, also known as “IV therapy”, refers to the administration of medications and nutrition directly through a patient’s vein (“intravenous” means “into the vein”). This is beneficial for those who have difficulties or are even unable to take supplements orally.

 

One of the most common types of IV therapy is the Myers’ Cocktail, aptly named after its innovator Dr. John Myers, MD. The Myers’ Cocktail can contain magnesium, calcium, vitamin c, and various types of b vitamins that aid in the treatment of asthma, insomnia, migraines, and even depression! Additionally, many of the ingredients that formulate a conventional Myers’ Cocktail can be taken individually and used to promote immunity health and prevent digestive issues – meaning that one does not necessarily have to be ill in order to benefit from this method.

 

Another commonly administered form of IV treatment is TPN, or total parenteral nutrition. The “enteral” route is the digestive tract, ergo, "parenteral" refers to a route other than the digestive tract. TPN can contain a wide array of nutrients, including protein, carbohydrates, and glucose. This is beneficial for those who are unable to receive these supplements in a conventional manner. For example, someone without a functioning gastrointestinal tract might require TPN. One major benefit of TPN is that the administration of the solution is designed to help patients stay mobile, eliminating a few of the inconveniences caused by being unable to pass nutrition into the stomach. A TPN formula might even have to be carefully formulated to fit a patient’s dietary needs.

Greek Testing

No one ever wants to hear ‘You have cancer’. However, just because you’ve been diagnosed doesn’t mean that it is the end and there is a multitude of treatments out there that have helped many people defeat cancer in their lives, including holistic healing methods available at the Get Well Center. The way we begin any cancer treatment is through what is called a Greek Test . We start by drawing blood and then sending the sample to RGCC, a genetics research facility that specializes in providing doctors and patients with a way to determine the best course of action when it comes to making a treatment plan, allowing each patient to have a plan that is catered to their needs, rather than a single catch-all approach that some treatment centers use. Greek Testing is a relatively new approach to treating cancer. It can help recognize where new developing cancers may be starting, help monitor current cancers and help physicians choose the correct natural medicine treatment for any patient. T

There Are More Cancer Therapy Options Than You Think

When living with cancer, it can be difficult to manage your pain and participate in therapy. Many times, patients will begin to feel stuck in a rut, or grow tired of trying the same treatments over and over again. That is why so many are turning to alternative cancer therapy treatments; but what are these treatments? One of the most effective cancer therapy treatments is intravenous high-dose vitamin C. It has been found that many cancer patients exhibit seriously low levels of vitamin C in their bodies. Intravenous high-doses of vitamin C will help your body fight cancer cells with its antioxidant properties and collagen producing enzymes. The second cancer therapy option worth noting is insulin potentiated therapy, or IPT. When a patient is participating in chemotherapy or on other medication, they often experience many unpleasant side effects. IPT helps alleviate these symptoms caused by chemotherapy. This option is great for those wishing to add something else to their cancer ther
