Infusion Therapy
Infusion Therapy
In recent years, IV infusions have become the therapy of choice in mainstream preventive medicine and holistic health. Why is IV therapy so popular? The answer is that it's highly efficient due to the immediate bioavailability of the infused products. The minerals, nutrients, and bioactive compounds like vitamins and amino acids are the most potent when delivered directly into your bloodstream. When consumed orally, almost all of these ingredients get digested by our GI system and broken apart by the liver's 2-phase drug metabolism system.
IV infusions deliver almost all active ingredients directly to our body systems. It takes just one minute for blood to circulate from the heart to anywhere in the body. All our blood circulates through the heart in 1 h, the average time of an IV infusion.
When compared to IV infusions, supplements have yet another drawback. Unlike prescription drugs, the quality of supplements is not regulated by FDA. As a result, many orally available vitamins and minerals lack active ingredients and often contain dangerous chemicals. In contrast, compounding pharmacies only sell bioactive components for IV infusions to certified clinics. These pharmacies are subject to FDA oversight while tightly regulated by state pharmacy boards. Typically, the IV components are consistent in concentration, high quality, and lack unwanted and unlabeled chemicals.

Total energy
If a can of Monster is your idea of an energy shot, think again. An IV drip is a way more efficient way to enhance the energy level, boost ATP production in mitochondria and hydrate the body. A combination of multivitamins, vitamin C and cocarboxylase is the core of our energy potion formula.
Hangover & detox
This "day after" hydration drip contains a combination of minerals and vitamins, and also anti-nausea and pain-relief medicine. The base is the physiological Hartman solution with a healthy mix of electrolytes and lactate. The drip also has vitamins B and C and a number of trace elements. We also add Glutathione, the main detox peptide produced in human body. Glutathione absorbs a number of toxins, including acetaldehyde, the alcohol derivative causing hangover. It also has strong anti-inflammatory effect and reduces the load of cytokines, the inflammatory mediators. The problem is that our body does not produce enough glutathione, particularly during hangover.
Allergy and sensitivity relieve
These days, our environment is fills up with thousands of new chemicals every year, which results in more and more allergies and sensitivities: to foods, mold, exobiotics, dust, air pollution etc. In all cases, the immune system is on overdrive, hyperactivated by acute systemic inflammation and signaling by cytokines. Our allergy relieve solution consist of IV drips with fresh ozone, produced instantly from medical grade oxygen. Freshly produced ozone is immediately dissolved in saline (0.9% NaCl) in optimal concentration. Fresh ozone is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory systemic treatments, which effectively removes inflammatory cytokines and other mediators from circulation. The effect is elevated by Magnesium and calcium in the solution.
Mental & memory boost
This drip is mixed specifically for patients with mental disbalance, suffering from anxiety, depression, poor sleep and headaches. These symptoms are eased with slow dripping of lithium, supported by vitamins (B complex, low dose vitamin C) and other minerals (magnesium, selenium).
Heavy metals chelation therapy
Chelating agents, such as EDTA (ethylenediamine-tetraaseic acid) and DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) help to eliminate heavy metals and some other toxins from our body. These compounds bind mercury, lead, cadmium and other ions in large non-toxic complexes (chelates), which then are extracted via urine, sweat and defecation
EDTA is the FDA-approved agent for lead detox, being used for years in both clinical and holistic practice for adults and children. It is applied as its calcium salt, calcium disodium edelate. This form prevents depleting calcium during the chelation. EDTA also binds other metal ions, such as mercury, cadmium, zinc and iron.
DMSO is a well-known bipolar nonprotonic solvent, used in medicine since 1960s. It has an ability to penetrate cell membranes without damage, so it is often used in drug delivery. FDA approved it for symptoms relief in cystitis patients. DMSO also helps in many other inflammatory conditions.
EDTA and DMSO have a synergistic effect when applied simultaneously. We mix them is a potent anti-inflammatory, detox chelating cocktail

About
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient in diet, a potent antioxidant and immune system modulator. It has many important physiological functions, such as prevention of cell death, building collagen and production of neurotransmitters. High dose vitamin C is approved by FDA for treating vitamin C deficiency, but its off-label use is much broader. First of all, vitamin C, injected intravenously, is known as a potent adjuvant anti-cancer agent since 1980s and the pioneering work by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling. It works both as a direct cytotoxic drug for cancer cells and a compound to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. More recently, high dose vitamin C IV became a staple procedure in treating chronic Lyme disease, fibromyalgia and neurodegenerative conditions.

About
Glutathione (GSH) is a natural tri-peptide produced in human, animals and plants. Glutathione is the major antioxidant metabolite, which prevents the main cellular components from damage from reactive oxygen species (ROSs), toxins, free radicals and heavy metals. In addition, Glutathione is essential in neutralizing formaldehyde and methylglyoxal, toxic metabolites produced under oxidative stress. Glutathione also participates in a number of reactions of central metabolism and serves as a neuromodulator.
Depletion of Glutathione is associated with a number of diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, neurogenerative diseases and ageing.
GSH is produced from natural aminoacids glutamate, cysteine and glycine in many types of cells, but the majority is synthesized in liver. However, glutathione turnover is fast and human need substantial daily resupply of this metabolite, particularly in the case of diseases or heavier toxin load. This makes glutathione one of the most central components of IV infusions.

ALA is an endogenous metabolite produced by human, a potent anti-oxidant. ALA is often used for treating neuropathology in different disease states, such as diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, glaucoma, alcohol liver disease. When consumed, ALA is quickly reduced to dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), also an anti-oxidant. Both ALA and DHLA scavenge reactive oxygen species, thus protecting neurons from damage and death. In addition, ALA is a co-factor for dehydrogenase, the major enzymatic complex in mitochondria. DHLA participates in regeneration of vitamins E, C and glutathione in human body.
