Immune Boost – It is our most popular Intravenous Vitamin Infusion at Vive IV Therapy. The Immune Boost enhances immune system function, helps release fatigue, promotes decreased allergies, reduce symptoms of fibromyalgia, asthma, CFS and much more! It is well known to provide a quick nutrient boost for people on the go and can be a great pick-me-up after a long weekend, illness, recent travel, or work. The Immune Boost is effective for a wide range of conditions including fatigue, muscle spasm, allergies, menstrual pain, hangovers, and headaches (although at Vive IV Therapy, we tailor specific nutrients for the person’s individual needs and concerns).
The Immune Boost is a twist off the classic Myers Cocktail, which was named after the late John Myers, M.D., a Maryland physician who used intravenous injections of nutrients to treat his patients. Currently, the nutrient cocktail has been popularized by Alan Gaby, M.D., president of the American Holistic Medical Association and a physician who writes a lot about nutritional factors in medicine.
The idea of IV nutritional therapy, is that many illnesses and conditions are associated with digestive disturbances such as bloating, maldigestion and food sensitivities. People with such conditions may not absorb many of the nutrients needed to return them to good health.
Along with nutrient malabsorption, many diseases cause the body to use nutrients at a faster rate or require higher amounts {of nutrients} for proper healing. When nutrients are injected intravenously, the digestion is bypassed. Furthermore, the levels in the bloodstream are temporarily increased so that the nutrients are directed into the cells, and frequently into the mitochondria where oxidative stress and cellular damage can occur. This temporary infusion of nutrients frequently “kick-starts” the cells, so that energy is produced more efficiently.
Benefits start immediately during administration, especially for patients with neurological or musculoskeletal problems, improvements continue to be provided 24-72 hours post infusion. With noticeable long-term improvements noted after 4 treatments. <http://www.netwellness.org/question.cfm/7354.htm>.
