Intravenous (IV) Nutrient Therapy

At Oaktree Wellness Center we realize that most health challenges benefit from additional nutrient support, specifically in the form of IV Nutrient Therapy. Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling concluded that the benefits of intravenous nutrients, especially Vitamin C, were vital in helping patients restore their health from even the most challenging health conditions. Scientific literature shows that IV nutrient therapy is very effective in the treatment and support of almost every health condition.

IV nutrition is a way of getting vitamins, minerals and other nutrients into the bloodstream quickly, thus bypassing the digestive tract where they may be lost due to malabsorption. As IV nutrients are introduced into the body, the blood levels become saturated with the nutrients, thus getting them into the cells quicker, eliminating nutritional deficiencies. This literally jumpstarts any cells functioning below normal. With IV nutrient therapy you are guaranteed absorption in your body because you are bypassing the GI tract.

Therapeutic applications of IV nutrient therapy include HIV infection, cancer, infections, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, increasing recovery phase for athletes in training, and many more. Patients with neurological challenges such as Alzheimer's, MS, and Dementia benefit from the IV nutrients as well. Some patients receive IV nutrients to proactively keep their immune systems strong, especially during cold and flu season.

At Oaktree Wellness Center, we offer both the Short Vitamin C IV which contains 25,000 mg of Vitamin C as well as additional nutrients (45-60 minutes) as well as the Long Vitamin C IV (50,000mg) which is administered over a longer period.(1 ½ -2 hours). Typically, more serious health challenges require the longer high-dose Vitamin C.

It's very common for patients to have a fear of needles. Our friendly IV staff is so experienced we often hear that the treatments are virtually pain free. Our commitment to you is to make your environment relaxed and comfortable while you receive your IV treatment. We are here to support you with your health challenges and want to get you back to optimum health as quickly as possible. We meet you at your level of comfort and want to address any of your concerns before, during, or after your stay with us.

Myer's Cocktail IV

John Myers was an MD from Baltimore, Maryland who was the original pioneer of using IV nutrients as part of his patient's treatments for many different health concerns. A modified Myers' Cocktail IV mainly consists of magnesium, B vitamins, Vitamin C, and calcium, and is found to be very effective at treating and supporting a number of medical problems. The Myers' Cocktail is administered via slow push from a 60-mL syringe over a 20-minute period, immediately saturating body tissues with the desired nutrients.

At Oaktree Wellness Center, we build on the studies and IV treatments of the late John Myers. We administer the Myers' Cocktail IV as support for a wide-range of clinical conditions that are often seen in our practice, modifying each cocktail as needed. Although we follow the basic IV formula, we recognize that some patients may need to have other nutrients added, according to their particular needs.

The nutrients in the Myers' Cocktail have direct pharmacological effects without the drug side effects. When cells are repeatedly flooded with these nutrients, improvement in health is cumulative and often times permanent. While some patients may initially need regular IV pushes, others do quite well with an occasional "boost" to maintain good health.

We repeatedly see drastic results in a number of conditions including fatigue, respiratory tract infections, asthma, headaches/migraines, muscle cramping, sinusitis, immune support, fibromyalgia, allergic rhinitis, heart disease and palpitations, viral and bacterial infections, cancer support, drug withdrawal, thyroid conditions, chronic and acute pain, as well as emotional challenges such as depression.

The Myers' Cocktail may also be administered to our patients who are looking for general enhanced health, increased energy, improved sports performance, as well as an anti-aging support.

Whether you are looking to boost a sluggish immune system or desire to focus on either an acute or chronic health challenge, we invite you to contact us. Once we have established your medical history and addressed any concerns or questions you may have about our Myers' Cocktail IVs, we can begin a program that satisfies your health needs.
