IV therapy and the Myers’ Cocktail

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a method of administering vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other therapeutic substances directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract where many nutrients are partially lost due to poor absorption or are altered by gut bacteria. It is a safe and highly effective method for quickly restoring key substances needed for energy production and optimal cellular function. IV therapy is a powerful tool for preventing and treating of a wide variety of chronic diseases.

IV therapy can provide a powerful “jump-start” to improving your health. It is the most effective way for your cells to receive nutrients. It drives these nutrients into the cells within mere seconds by delivering them directly into the body’s circulation. This provides better bioavailability compared to oral nutrients and avoids side effects like nausea, heartburn, and diarrhea that can accompany high oral doses. The resultant cellular repair and revitalization can be rapid and dramatic.

The Myers’ Cocktail contains calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin C. It is sometimes followed by an infusion of glutathione. Glutathione is a potent and natural antioxidant and free-radical scavenger. The Myers’ Cocktail was named after the late Dr. John Myers, a Maryland physician who administered intravenous nutrients to treat numerous chronic diseases.

The Myers’ Cocktail was later popularized by Dr. Alan Gaby, a well-known physician specializing in nutritional medicine (click here). Dr. Gaby treated thousands of patients with the Myers’ Cocktail over several years. Chronic conditions that responded well included:

  • Migraine headaches
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Depression
  • Chronic sinusitis
  • Cardiovascular disease

Dr. Gaby also noted improvements in general health and physical performance.

Comments: Depending on the severity of the condition, a total of 20-40 treatments are needed and are administered twice weekly. Treatment takes about 30 minutes and costs $150. If purchased as a bundle of 10 treatments, the cost is $1350. That is a 10% reduction from the single-treatment price. To see a copy of the informed consent, click here.
