In today’s modern society of nutrient depleted food (fast food, processed food, vegetables picked green and shipped thousands of miles and stored in coolers for weeks or months before we eat them), and daily exposure to hundreds of toxic chemicals, our bodies are “left out in the cold” so to speak, and health suffers.

Many times, trying to replenish the sick body by taking more oral nutrients does not work because the digestive system is so broken, it cannot absorb them. Luckily, at LifeWorks we have a way around this with the IV therapy we offer in Clearwater.

By using intravenous (IV) solutions of nutrients (vitamins and minerals), we can quickly and efficiently deliver them directly to where they are needed: the cells. This means we can bypass the broken digestive system entirely.

What we are doing at our clinic is giving the body natural nutrients (as opposed to drugs) that help to heal the body structure, including the intestine and digestive system, improve metabolism, and replenish supplies of deficient nutrients. Since these are the actual building blocks of the body, they are safe to administer, and the body accepts them easily.

 

IV Therapy – Why is it so essential?

Did you know that sixty-seven percent of the population is estimated to be magnesium deficient? And did you know that when a person is magnesium deficient they have difficulty absorbing magnesium? Since this is the case, giving more oral forms of magnesium will not work.

At LifeWorks, we can fix the situation by giving a series of IV Cocktails (so called Dr. Meyer’s Cocktails, named after the doctor who formulated this) which include magnesium, and when the body is replenished, it will again be able to absorb the oral nutrient. Magnesium is essential in over 200 body processes and when someone is deficient they may experience asthma (spasm of bronchioles), high blood pressure (spasm or constriction of blood vessels), menstrual cramps (spasm of the uterus), and migraines (vascular spasm). Heart failure and heart arrhythmia are conditions associated with decreased intracellular magnesium levels and, as such, are also benefited by this essential mineral.

Many times we use Vitamin C by IV administration because it can help the body fight off viral and flu type infection and it is useful in treating colds, influenza, and hepatitis. It is also indicated for immune support, for treating allergic conditions, for its anti-cancer properties, and to aid the detoxification of heavy metals.

The Dr. Myers Cocktail, along with magnesium, combines calcium and B vitamins to safely, inexpensively, and effectively treat a variety of chronic conditions including depression and fibromyalgia and chronic conditions of the digestive tract that can result in magnesium being “leaked” or wasted.

A common eye disorder in seniors is macular degeneration. It is often responsive to IV administration of nutrients required for healthy eye function, including zinc, selenium, glutathione, and vitamin B complex.

A blend of vitamins, minerals, and micro-nutrients may be used to replenish nutrients during a course of chelation therapy and also anytime someone feels rundown, is exhausted by chronic illness, or is under more stress than usual. Stress “eats up” nutrients (especially B vitamins), thereby creating a temporary exaggerated need.

When a patient visits our Clearwater clinic with a chronic infection or is under a lot of mental or physical stress, an intensive anti-oxidant IV can be delivered using glutathione (the most potent antioxidant in the body) or alpha-lipoic acid. These nutrients have special use in modulating peripheral neuropathy of diabetes, liver disease (including hepatitis), asthma, and virtually any chronic disease in which oxidation plays a role.

Oxygenating therapies have been used in medicine since the late 1800s, when peroxide was reported to help in treatment of sinus and throat infections. At LifeWorks we administer hydrogen peroxide IVs as one of our therapies. When hydrogen peroxide is given intravenously, it quickly, within 1 second, becomes free oxygen, and boosts the levels of oxygen in the body. In fact, studies show that tissue oxygen levels with IV peroxide were the same as when someone was put in a hyperbaric chamber.

Hydrogen peroxide can kill many infectious diseases like bacteria, viruses and fungi. It can also break up the lipid cholesterol plaque in arteries to reverse atherosclerosis.

 

In summary, IV nutrition at LifeWorks:

Gets high dose vitamins, minerals and antioxidants directly to the cells

Quickly fixes nutritional deficiencies

Enhances immune response

Increases total body energy

Bypasses intestinal malabsorption

Fights chronic infections like hepatitis, candida, lyme, etc.

Fights acute infections like Flu, mono, etc.

 

Superior IV Therapy in Tampa Bay

At LifeWorks Wellness Center we believe we offer the residents of Tampa Bay the most superior IV therapy. Our program includes:

 

IV Vitamin C

This is an effective way to treat infectious diseases from cold and flu to Hepatitis C and HIV. IVC Therapy has been shown to kill viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner.

 

IV Glutathione

This is an effective aid to detoxification through the liver. It is indicated in Parkinson’s Disease and Macular Degeneration and sports recovery after hard exercise

 

Myers’ Cocktail

Meyer’s Cocktail helps boost or maintain a health immune system. It is a mixture of B vitamins, Vitamin C, Calcium and

Magnesium. It has been shown to be helpful in the following conditions: Angina, Asthma, Chronic depression, Chronic

fatigue, Congestive heart failure, Fibromyalgia, Muscle spasms, Seasonal allergies, Senile dementia, Sinusitis and Urticaria.

 

Hydrogen Peroxide IV

In studies conducted by Charles H. Farr M.D., PhD, the father of peroxide treatments, he proved that when given IV peroxide:

•  The metabolism increased and body temperature rose

•  There is stimulation of thyroid hormone

•  There is dilation of small arteries all over the body with improved blood flow

•  Oxygen levels in the blood dramatically increase

•  Strong stimulation of the immune system

•  Improved blood sugar

The test subjects reported increased mental alertness, increased visual acuity, increased brightness of surroundings, and a feeling of relaxation. There were significant improvements in many conditions including infection, allergy, and influenza.

 

Chelation

Chelation with IV EDTA and vitamins to rid the body of heavy metals, improve blood flow and add antioxidants to the blood stream to reduce free radical insults from environmental toxins.

 

In summary, if you are not feeling 100%, IV nutrition can give your body a boost so that it replenishes its lost energy, fights off an infection, or improves your stamina. It is safe and easy and the results are felt immediately. Come in to our Clearwater clinic for a consult today and see how it could benefit you.
