IV Therapy

Before Treatment

One week prior:

  • A physical history must be completed to essentially determine if IV vitamin/nutrient replenishment is safe for the patient. 
  • Please tell your doctor if you have chronic fatigue or excessive drinking problem, a heart or a kidney problem. 
  • Patients with kidney and active liver disease should be treated with extreme caution.
  • Patients with congestive heart failure or end stage renal disease and diabetes are not good treatment candidates for receiving fluids.
  • Active monitoring as drug is infusing is recommended. 
  • We will take blood pressure both prior to and post infusion.
  • We recommend to bring your most recent labs to determine if you are a candidate for receiving fluids. 

During TREATMENT

  • Bruising at the site of injection may occur
  • Infection at site of infection if sterile technique is not properly used
  • Rash
  • Dizziness

After Treatment

After an IV therapy, it is usually a good idea to:

  • Avoid alcohol for a while to allow your liver to recover from the toxin load from your cells
  • Drinks lots of water to flush things out
  • If you have diarrhea like symptoms, do not take anti-diarrheal but let the body dispose of as much poo as it needs to
  • If you have constipation type symptoms, take high dose oral vitamin C and magnesium which can cause loose motion (a good thing here)
  • Try a colonic if you’re up for it
  • Take a magnesium salt bath. The magnesium can help draw out more toxins from your skin, speeding up the process of toxin extraction.
  • If you are familiar with intermittent fasting, it’s a good thing to try to let your digestive system take a break. Alternatively, consider going on a bone broth day. The fat and protein in the broth should keep you satiated. If you would like to do a juice fast instead, do include lots of vegetables in it as a fruit only juice can make you feel worse (due to its effect on insulin). Add some coconut oil to it to slow down absorption of glucose.
  • In a nutshell, keep going with the cocktails and make sure that you inform the clinic you had your IVs regarding side effects, if any. Most these should pass and in the long run, you will have healthier cells.
