Intravenous Supplements - A Win For Alternative Medicine

By Anju Mathur, MD

In the practice of medicine, intravenous drips are used to introduce a lot of substances directly into the bloodstream, usually drugs. Alternative medicine uses IV drips in chelation therapy to introduce agents that take heavy metals out of the body. But IV drips can also be effectively used to supply the patient with much needed nutrients to speed healing.

If patients receives nutrients by IV, this process gets around the problems of uncertain absorption into the bloodstream and delivers them directly. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other supplements can speed up recovery.

Different types of IV drips can be used depending on the ailment of the particular patient. IV drips for immune enhancement therapy combine high doses of vitamins C, B complex, magnesium, trace minerals and glutathione (which enhances the immune system).

Used before and after an operation these elements can speed recovery and cut down on infections. Any kind of chronic illness that causes physical stress will improve with IV drips of this kind. Pneumonia, mononucleosis, Lyme disease, flu, gastrointestinal disorders, shingles and cancer are some of the diseases that respond to treatment with IV drips of nutrients.

Cancer patients and people with viral infections such as herpes, shingles, and Epstein Barr virus respond well to high doses of vitamin C - from 25,000 to 100,000 mg.

Glutathoine therapy is given where high amounts of antioxidants are needed in the body, e.g. Parkinson's disease, acute viral infections and heart conditions.

Nutritional deficiencies caused by bad diet or inability to absorb food can be treated with an amino acid drip.

PlaqueX is another therapy composed of a drip of phospholipids which clear the build up of plaque out of arteries. The walls of cells are composed of phospholipids - they protect and control what enters cells. Getting older causes a decline in production of phospholipids, so PlaqueX therapy replaces those lacking building blocks of cells. It has several effects besides cleaning out arteries - it can reduce angina attacks, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, increase blood circulation and kidney function. It also increases male potency and gives the patient more ability to tolerate exercise.

These solutions to healing the body are very workable and do not carry with them any side effects. If not for the vested interest of big drug companies making huge profits selling drugs that produce side effects then selling more drugs to combat the side effects, they would indeed by now be mainstream medicine, for their results are miraculous.
