Intravenous Vitamin Therapy

BY: DR. MELINA ROBERTS

This therapy involves administering vitamins, minerals and homeopathics directly into the circulatory system for a rapid therapeutic effect. The intravenous route can achieve high serum concentrations that increases the absorptive capacity by about 10-20 fold which cannot be attained with the oral route.  These nutrients supply the body with potent antioxidants, they will bind toxins from the tissues and set up a healing environment within the body.

If you were to ingest an oral nutrient, this molecule would need to be broken down by the stomach, absorbed by the small intestines then metabolized by the liver and eventually get delivered to the cell.  Even if all parts of the digestive tract are functioning optimally, the amount of the nutrient that gets delivered to the cells is minimal.

For those individuals with compromised intestinal absorption (ie. cancer, Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome) oral absorption is even lower.  The advantage of intravenous vitamin therapy is that it bypasses the digestive tract and allows for higher absorption of nutrients and therefore offers a tremendous therapeutic value.
