MOST COMMON IV DRIPS

This IV contains Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and all your B vitamins. Research has suggested this formula can have a broad spectrum of benefits, including improved energy, improved immune system, and is suitable for those new to IV nutrients. With the proper additions and alterations to this IV, it can be used to support thyroid health with Tyrosine, increased selenium and zinc; improve asthma with arginine and taurine; improve tissue healing with proline and manganese; improve migraines with taurine, ATP, and higher doses of magnesium. 

This formula is for those who experience low energy and burnout in response to stress. In addition to Myers ingredients this contains L-Carnitine for energy production, L-taurine for mitochondrial function and muscle recovery, and ATP as your cell’s source of energy. 

This IV is designed for those who experience anxiety or agitation in response to stress and contains Myers nutrients plus additional Taurine which increases GABA in the brain, glycine to calm the nervous system and high dose magnesium to calm the muscles. 

There are 2 IVs I use to support the immune system. One uses hydrogen peroxide to stimulate a strong immune response and antioxidant response in your body. This is best for individuals recovering from an illness, who get frequent colds and flus, or have a difficult time recovering from colds and flus. The other immune formula includes the Myers ingredients and also has Vitamin C and lysine, which are both antiviral, along with selenium and zinc, which support the immune response. This is best for a preventative approach and making the immune system more resilient, such as when going into cold and flu season, or before travel. 

Glutathione is known as your body’s master antioxidant because it is found in every cell and helps protect your cells from damage to due to stress (physical and mental), ageing, and toxic exposure, among some of the more prominent causes of oxidative stress. Clinically glutathione is used to boost the immune system, protect your liver from damage, protect cells from oxidative damage, and can be used cosmetically to brighten the skin in cases of melasma and hyperpigmentation. 

This formula includes Vitamin C and B-vitamins in addition to your standard electrolytes in high doses: calcium, magnesium, chloride and potassium. This formula is designed to drive fluid and nutrients into cells after bouts of dehydration which may be due to acute vomiting or diarrhea, intense physical effort, or chronic poor nutrition. 

This formula has higher doses of the Myers nutrients, plus selenium, zinc, taurine, carnitine, potassium, and a multimineral solution. This IV is particularly useful in times of poor nutrition or digestive conditions where nutrient absorption is impaired, or after an illness to give your system a strong boost in recovery. 

NAD+ is a coenzyme that is a necessary component for cellular energy production in the mitochondria. This IV has many clinical uses including chronic brain fog, drug and alcohol addiction, depression, improved physical and mental performance, among many others. It works by increasing cellular energy production, aiding DNA repair, and improving gene regulation. 

Ozone is administered intravenously, or Major Autohemotherapy (MAH), delivers ozone right to your blood to have systemic effects. Some of the benefits of MAH therapy are improved cognition, improved energy, boost in your bodies antioxidant power, and a boost to your immune system. It can be used clinically for conditions such as Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis, Chronic Lyme disease, and chronic fatigue, or just to improve overall health. 

When Vitamin C is administered in doses of 25g or higher, its role in your body changes, and it can be used in different ways. A common use for this is in cancer care, as it attacks cancer cells but spares self cells. Outside of cancer care it is commonly used for: viral and bacterial infections, especially persistent ones, and detoxification of toxins, drugs and chemicals.

Health and Wellness Goals

We offer a range of options to help support your health and wellness goals and promote healing. Some of these treatments may improve skin health and may even hold anti-aging properties. Some treatment protocols may help prepare your body for surgery and aid in the repair process afterward. They also may help support your immune system and can boost athletic performance. Your naturopath will discuss the different types of therapy and the possible benefits of each with you.

IV therapy is a great option for a great deal of individuals and conditions, but it is not suitable for everyone. Those with G6PD deficiency, kidney or liver damage/dysfunction, very low platelet count, high blood pressure, congestive heat failure (CHF) and diabetes may not qualify. This will be discussed in your initial consult.

It is important to monitor your overall well-being. It is not uncommon you may feel a little sleepy after your treatment, though some people feel energized after the treatment as well. It is common, but insignificant, to get a funny taste in your mouth due to the B-vitamins, and glutathione drips may cause your urine to have a sulphurous (rotten eggs) smell. You may notice bruising at the IV puncture site in the days following the IV, this should dissipate within a week. If you notice swelling around the puncture site during the treatment, this indicates the needle has been dislodged from the vein and the IV will be discontinued immediately. Your doctor will explain some more serious but rare complications to look out for during and in the days following your IV treatment.

IV therapy is considered a naturopathic visit, and therefore is covered by insurance companies that offer naturopathic coverage. Check your benefits package or insurance plan to see if you have naturopathic coverage.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Before your treatment, our naturopathic doctors will do a thorough case history and relevant physical exams to determine if your case can benefit from IV nutrient therapy, as well as to rule out any red flag conditions. You will be asked to give a urine sample to assess current kidney function, and your vitals will be monitored before and after the IV, and in some cases during the IV in longer drips. Drips range in time from 30 minutes to about 2 hours. This depends on the size of IV bag (100, 250, or 500ml), the condition of your veins, and the speed at which you can tolerate the flow.

BEFORE YOUR IV

You will be counseled on steps to take before your IV that are critical to IV success. The main ones are to eat a substantial meal before your IV to get your blood sugar levels up, and drink at least 1L of water the day of your IV. Our naturopathic doctors will instruct you of all the necessary steps.

DURING YOUR IV

Our naturopathic doctors and staff will do everything we can to make you comfortable for the duration of the IV, including being seated in a comfortable recliner chair. We recommend you wear comfortable and warm clothing, as well as to bring a form of entertainment (book, phone, tablet) to keep you occupied especially during longer IV drips. It is important to stay awake for the duration of the IV. You will be given a buzzer in the case you get any discomfort, have to use the restroom, or need to get in touch will our naturopathic doctor or staff for any reason.

After Your Treatment

You will be instructed on the specifics of post-IV care at the visit, but some of the more important things to consider are: increase water intake the rest of the day after you IV, this will ensure proper hydration as some IV drips can be slightly dehydrating to your cells. Refrain from heavy lifting and exercise in the couple days following an IV.
