Intravenous Nutrition involves vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients that are
delivered directly into the blood stream. The “Meyer’s Cocktail” is named after Dr. John Meyers, M.D.
who used intravenous injections to treat his patients. Dr. Alan Gaby, M.D., writes about the benefits
of The “Meyers Cocktail” and describes the following benefits:
- Helpful with both acute and chronic problems
- Bypasses ineffective absorption in the gastrointestinal tract
- Enhances the healing process
- Promotes greater health
- Promotes greater ability to absorb nutrients
- Promotes the use of nutrients orally
When nutrients are given intravenously, the digestive tract is bypassed and the nutrients have
easier access to the cells of the body. The “Meyers Cocktail” can be very helpful when oral
nutrients are not working well. When the levels of nutrients are temporarily increased, there
are a number of acute or chronic conditions that benefits from intravenous nutrition:
- Blood Pressure
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Mental Clarity
- Asthma
|
- Migraines
- Infections
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle Spasm
- Chronic Sinusitis
|
- Upper Respiratory Infections
- Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis
- Cardiovascular Disease
- And many other conditions
