I.V. Nutrient Therapy

I.V. Therapy + Nutrient Replacement

I.V. nutrients, because they bypass the usual digestive processes and the limitations of digestive absorption, can reach much higher levels in the blood. These higher levels drive the nutrients into areas of the body that simply don't get much when the nutrient trickles into the blood through the gut.

Think of a river. When the river is running within its banks, most of the land around the banks stays dry. However when the river is flooding water, what it carries can reach far from the banks. So its is with I.V. nutritional therapy. We take advantage of the "flooding" of nutrients to "reach" parts of your metabolism that would only get a trickle. At times, the effects are immediate and dramatic. Other times, there is quickening to the pace of recovery that was not happening when the nutrient was given orally.

Conditions that can benefit from I.V. Nutrient therapy include:

  • Adrenal exhaustion
  • Acute Viral infections (the Flu, Mono)
  • Chronic viral infections (Hepatitis C, West Nile Virus)
  • Migraines and headaches
  • Muscle spasms
  • Asthma
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatological conditions
  • Cancer
  • Chronic neurological conditions such as parkinsonism, seizures, ALS, and MS
  • Painful periods
  • Multiple chemical sensitivities
  • Environmental exposures to allergens (i.e. Mold)
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Improved athletic performance
  • Insomnia
  • Macular Degeneration

To establish the right I.V. nutrient program for you, make an appointment with a Helios Practitioner.
