IV Hydration, vitamin therapy might be just what you need. I’m going to share with you the many benefits of the Myers Cocktail IV Therapy. The Myers’ Cocktail was developed by Dr. John Myers, a physician from Baltimore, MD. He was the first to use the intravenous vitamins and minerals, or micronutrients to treat many different medical conditions. His patients swore by the effectiveness of their Dr. Myers’ Cocktail. Some of the conditions he treated successfully with this infusion were: Acute asthma attacks Migraines Chronic sinusitis and allergies Depression and mood disorders Inflammation In addition to these disorders, this famous “Myers Cocktail” has been known to increase your immune system, powerfully fight off viruses, infections, as well as help with pain and fibromyalgia. WHAT IS A MYERS COCKTAIL? Your body is a masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made with all body systems working together in harmony so that it can function properly so that you can share life, love, your gifts and talents with those around you. Our bodies are not 100% self-sufficient we need nutrition from outside sources. These nutrients are referred to as essential because they are indispensable for our well-being, and our bodies don’t produce them. That’s what the Myers Cocktail brings to the table. It delivers essential nutrients to our body in the speediest way possible. The ingredients of this ESSENTIAL NUTRIENT Myers Cocktail made with ONLY NATURAL not synthetic ingredients are: Vitamin C Calcium Magnesium B-Complex B12 Vitamin C – popular for immunity, however, did you also know?... vitamin C intake enhances your body’s iron absorption, it helps to regulate insulin, burn stored fat, strengthens your tendons and arteries and is needed for proper protein absorption. Calcium – builds & maintains strong bones, but did you know your heart muscles and nerves need it too? Some studies show that calcium along vitamin D may protect against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. Magnesium – an electrolyte found in every cell in the body . It plays a role in over 300 processes including: heart, lymphatic system, muscles, nerves, blood pressure, mood stability and, nervous system including autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is what controls your heart rate, sense of being present, digestion, sexual arousal and much more. B Vitamins – super important for proper brain function, mood (mood disorders) red blood cell synthesis, cell health, age-related eye health, bone formation, nerve function, hormone and neurotransmitter production. ** Always use natural B vitamins. There is a large number of people that can not break down synthetic B vitamins. ~ Natural = folate Synthetic = folic acid B12 – Helps keep your body’s blood and nerve cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all of your cells. ~ Natural = adenosylcobalamin, methylcobalamin, and hydroxycobalamin Synthetic = cyanocobalamin. THE MYERS COCKTAIL HEALTH BENEFITS Now that you know about the ingredients of this powerful cocktail, let’s look at the health benefits according to an article in Pub Med written by Alan R. Gaby written in 2002 Alan Gaby states that “The modified” Myers' cocktail, which consists of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, has been found to be effective against acute asthma attacks, migraines, fatigue (including chronic fatigue syndrome), fibromyalgia, acute muscle spasm, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, cardiovascular disease, and other disorders. ” If you are anything like me (Tanya), you will want to read the studies. Here is a link to several articles in Pub Med, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12410623/ MYERS COCKTAIL COST & HOW OFTEN These benefits won't strain your finances. When you think about the value of the prevention you're investing in, the advantages of scheduling your appointment go beyond monetary cost; priced at around $169 per infusion. Memberships and purchasing in bulk are two ways to save even more money. To start your Myers Cocktail regimen, you will initially receive infusions weekly. After just one month, you can switch to receiving them every other week or even monthly. Feel free to discuss this with our medical professionals to determine the best option for you. Usually, people that opt for weekly infusions of the Myers' Cocktail frequently notice notable improvements within four weeks some even sooner.

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in energy production within cells.

Glutathione is the master antioxidant because it protects your body from oxidative stress caused by toxins and free radicals, so it’s important to keep your glutathione levels up to functional levels. What is Glutathione? Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant produced in your liver. It’s a tripeptide, that means it’s a combination of three amino acids – glycine, glutamine, and cysteine. I like to say that glutathione is sticky and goes through out your body and collects damaging free radicals and neutralizes them. After eliminating these free radicals, your body replenishes the immune system with extra energy. While boosting the immune system, glutathione also helps to detoxify your body and is one of the main ingredients in our Detox Infusions. Benefits of Intravenous Glutathione Therapy Glutathione offers a ton of health benefits. Studies indicate that administering glutathione intravenously may be more beneficial than taking it in pill form. This is because IV delivery allows for immediate action as it goes directly into the bloodstream. On the other hand, oral supplements may lose effectiveness and absorption because they need to pass through the digestive system first. Not only is Glutathione a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier it also plays a critical role in SO MANY functions like; nutrient metabolism gene expression DNA and protein synthesis health and longevity of your cells. Immune function Reducing inflammation Promoting mental clarity Improving sleep quality Helping break down fat Supporting Brain function What Happens When I Ad Glutathione to my Myers Cocktail Infusion? Glutathione provides an extra antioxidant boost that compliments any Vitamin Infusion. It serves a similar purpose as many of the ingredients of a regular Myers Cocktail, so it magnifies and strengthens the effects of the treatment. Glutathione supports the effectiveness of the other ingredients because it helps your immune system function properly so that the vitamins and other ingredients can successfully carry out their own functions. Anti-Aging Effects Glutathione Can Reduce the effects of aging on the skin. It’s essential for repairing damaged cells, especially those associated with aging. Its ability to eliminate free radicals leads to firmer, more radiant skin, hair and nails and it increases energy levels as it goes and that’s always a bonus. Glutathione also stimulates the growth of mitochondria, the cell's powerhouse, producing revitalized and more beneficial cells to replace aging ones. Glutathione Deficiency I hate to bring the focus onto the less than desirable issues that can happen with deficiencies, but I think it is super important to be educated. Education to me, is the key. So here we go ☺ Due to age, stress and several health issues, including methylation problems glutathione level can decrease. According to an article written in PubMed March 2004 Glutathione deficiency contributes to oxidative stress, which plays a key role in the aging process and the development of many diseases including; Seizures Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s disease, Liver diseases Cystic fibrosis Sickle cell anemia HIV Cancer Heart attacks Strokes diabetes However, with glutathione IV therapy, you can balance the level of glutathione in your body Glutathione is the master antioxidant because it protects your body from oxidative stress caused by toxins and free radicals, and as always food and digestion play a MAJOR role in your overall health and glutathione levels are no exception. It’s important to keep up with your intake of foods high in glutathione or glutathione precursors. Foods such as: garlic -onions – broccoli – brussel sprouts – eggs – asparagus – avocado – spinach - protein
