Have you heard of Myers Cocktail therapy and wondered what this is? You’re not alone, many people are just beginning to discover the amazing benefits that this treatment offers. It is named after the late Maryland doctor, John Meyers, MD because he was a pioneer in using intravenous injections to treat a number of chronic illnesses.
A Myers Cocktail treatment is an intravenous vitamin infusion that offers a number of health benefits including reducing fatigue, reducing asthma and fibromyalgia symptoms, reducing seasonal allergy symptoms and enhancing the immune system.
Today, the Myers Cocktail has been made popular by physician Alan Gaby, MD, who has written numerous articles regarding nutrition’s role in medicine and has treated thousands of patients with Myers Cocktail intravenous therapy. In addition to the conditions listed above, he has found repeated success with a number of other conditions including cardiovascular disease, respiratory tract infections, migraines, acute muscle spasm, chronic sinusitis, depression, PMS, high blood pressure and more.
How Does Myers Cocktail Therapy Work?
A powerful combination of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, the Myers Cocktail is administered through an intravenous (IV) line over a period of 20–30 minutes. This allows enough time for the body to absorb the nutrients as they enter the bloodstream.
One major benefit of this type of therapy is that since the minerals and vitamins directly enter via the bloodstream, they bypass the digestive system. Often, absorption problems with our digestive system results in our body not being able to access and utilize nutrients as it should. Especially for individuals that suffer from even minor digestive issues, IV vitamin infusions can be an optimal way to stay healthy. As an example, studies have shown that when Vitamin C was given intravenously compared to orally, it has been found to reach blood concentrations up to 50 times greater.
Many patients report that after receiving Myers Cocktail therapy that they notice a significant boost in their energy levels, lasting from several days to a week. Patients who are frequently sick often notice an improved immune response, with less susceptibility to viral illnesses.
