Infusion Therapies
Intravenous infusion of certain vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplmemts can often be the missing treatment to many diseases. Using vitamins and minerals in intravenous forms often side-steps the negative side effects of high potent delivery of theses substances. For example: vitamin C can cause loose stools in people at doses of 5 g per day orally, but by taking vitamin C intravenously you can by-pass any gastro-intestinal side effect and take quantities up to 70 grams at a time. Likewise certain therapies, chelation, are best done intravenously and do not have the same therapeutic effect if provided orally.
IV's are administered in the relaxing atmosphere of our IV room. Our IV room has windows to the outdoors and comfortable leather reclining chairs. Patients are alway encouraged to bring something to entertain themselvs (reading materials, iPOD, etc.) as well a a sanck if their IV will be greater than 30 minutes.
