Intravenous (IV) TherapyIncreasing numbers of
physicians are utilizing Intravenous (IV) Therapy as a part of
their approach to helping patients restore or maintain their
health. The rationale for using IV therapy is related to the
limitation of the gastrointestinal system in the absorption of
therapeutic levels of various micronutrients. It is also very
helpful when building up the level so that the patient may
begin maintenance with an oral supplements. For example,
if someone is given a large dose of oral magnesium, the end
result is simply diarrhea because of magnesium's effect on the
bowels. However, intravenous administration of magnesium does
not have that effect. So, if given in IV form, the level given
can be much higher to affect a positive change. There is also a
noted advantage in establishing somewhat higher plasma levels
of various micronutrients in an acute fashion, as this
procedure can saturate cellular metabolic processes to an
enhanced, overall cellular functional efficiency. The
utility of intravenous treatments is varied. Over the years,
numerous protocols have been developed by nutritionally
oriented physicians. They are specifically aimed at working
with a variety of processes. They include fibromyalgia, chronic
fatigue, immune enhancements, acute and chronic infectious
processes, augmentation of cancer therapies and the
acceleration of wound healing, to name a few. The length
of an IV treatment will vary depending on the nature and type
of treatment received. It can last from 20 minutes to 4 hours.
