Intravenous Nutrition (IV infusion therapy) Tampa
Intravenous Nutrition Treatment is used to administer concentrated doses of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream. It is the fastest and most direct way to saturate your cells with energizing and healing nutrients. Treatments can be used to target specific health conditions, to boost energy and immunity, or to help with recovery from athletic training.*
Myer’s Cocktail: $150
One of the most common protocols used in Nutritional IV treatments. Hydrates the body while delivering Potent doses of Vitamin C (10 Grams), B vitamins and Minerals to boost energy and immunity. Can help with many different health conditions such as chronic fatigue, migraine headaches, and acute colds and flu. Also great for exercise recovery and performance. Typically takes 45 – 60 minutes to administer.
Mini Myer’s: $90
No time for a full Myer’s? Try the Mini Myer’s, same ingredients at lower doses given as an IV push that only takes 5 minutes to administer. This formula is also great for relieving acute migraine headaches.
Glutathione Infusions: $110 per 25 grams
One of the most important and powerful anti-oxidants created in the human body, this nutrient protects the body from oxidative stress, one of the primary reasons for premature aging. It also boosts immunity and helps our bodies eliminate toxins and heavy metals.
High-dose Vitamin C: $110 per 25 grams
Another powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body against oxidative stress, boosts the immune system and helps the body fight infection and disease. May help to reduce the duration of acute illnesses such as the common cold and flu. Is also used as an adjunct to traditional cancer treatment.
Immune Jump Start: $135
As the name implies, this powerful combination of B Vitamins, Glutathione, Advanced cellular silver, Glutamine, NAC, and magnesium will jumpstart your immune system. Advanced cellular silver is a powerful antimicrobial that can help your body fight infection.
Ozone Infusion: $125
Ozone infusions entail drawing a patient’s blood, infusing it with immune boosting and infection-fighting ozone which saturates blood cells with concentrated levels of life-giving oxygen. The blood is then infused back into the patient through an IV.
OMG – Ozone/Myer’s/Glutathione combination: $295
This power packed IV combines the life-giving levels of oxygen from ozone, the powerful anti-oxidant properties of Glutathione and the hydrating and nutrient-packed combination of the Myer’s cocktail all given in one sitting. Great for boosting energy and immunity while gently hydrating the body. This protocol can take 60 – 90 minutes.
Ozone UBI IV: $185.00
Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) is an intravenous therapy that is a safe, non-toxic method of treatment for most blood-borne viruses and offers hope to those who suffer from acute and chronic viral and bacterial infections and their related conditions. Much like Ozone, this procedure involves drawing a patient’s blood and when reinfusing the blood back into the patient through an IV, it is exposed to specific ultraviolet light wavelengths that enhance the body’s immune response to infections. UBI can be used clinically as an immune modulating therapy in cases such as psoriasis, chronic infections, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, and much more. UBI can easily be added to an ozone IV for a powerful immune boosting and infection-fighting combination.
IV infusion therapy can be of benefit in a variety of conditions:
• 
Chronic fatigue
• Both acute and chronic infections including Flu and the common cold
• Improve athletic performance and recovery from long exercise bouts or races
• Immune system support and balance
• Migraine headaches – acute and chronic
• Detoxification from toxic metals
• General “toxicity”
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic digestive disorders
• Adverse reactions from toxic chemicals
• Support during chemotherapy for cancer
Advantages of IV Therapy
IV therapy can be more effective than taking supplements orally for correcting intracellular nutrient deficits. The intravenous methods targets nutrients directly to where they are needed. IVs bypass the digestive system which sometimes blocks the absorption of nutrients. If you are lacking sufficient hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, for example, you may not absorb all the benefits of oral supplements.
IV nutrients are given in therapeutic doses greater than the minimal requirements of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), which are only intended to avoid deficiency states. Because vitamins and minerals are normal cellular constituents, IV administration has an exceedingly high safety profile.
The amount of vitamin C that can be taken orally can be quite limited due to “bowel intolerance,” which causes diarrhea. When vitamin C is administered intravenously to combat colds, flu or chronic disease, doses as high as 50,000 mg can be administered. Therapeutic doses can be administered intravenously at this level and bypass the problem of bowel intolerance.

Myer’s Cocktail
The Myer’s Cocktail is an intravenous vitamin-and-mineral formula for the treatment of a wide range of clinical conditions. The modified “Myers’ cocktail,” which consists of magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, has been found to be effective against acute asthma attacks, migraines, fatigue (including chronic fatigue syndrome), fibromyalgia, acute muscle spasm, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, cardiovascular disease, and other disorders.
The Myer’s Cocktail can be very useful in situations where oral nutrients or other therapies are not working. When nutrients are given intravenously, your digestive system is bypassed and a much higher level of nutrition can be delivered directly to your cells, via the bloodstream. The nutrients then kick-start those cells which are performing below par.
The general effect of a Myers Cocktail intravenous therapy appears to be a marked improvement in the energy capacity and function of cells. If your cells can function at their best, it’s more likely you can recover from a serious health problem.

High dose vitamin C IV therapy
Most people know vitamin C as a potent antioxidant that has the power to boost immune function, increase resistance to infection, and protect against a wide range of diseases. It can be used to help reduce the duration and intensity of acute infections such as the common cold and flu.
But there’s an entirely different and largely unknown role of vitamin C, and that is its ability—when administered in very high doses by intravenous (IV) infusions—to kill cancer cells.
Vitamin C interacts with iron and other metals to create hydrogen peroxide. In high concentrations, hydrogen peroxide damages the DNA and mitochondria of cancer cells, shuts down their energy supply, and kills them outright. Best of all—and unlike virtually all conventional chemotherapy drugs that destroy cancer cells—it is selectively toxic. No matter how high the concentration, vitamin C does not harm healthy cells.
Vitamin C is not a cure-all or exclusive treatment for Cancer but studies have shown that it can have synergistic, beneficial affects when combined with conventional treatments. In addition, quality of life has been shown to be greatly improved and side effects diminished when Vitamin C IVs are used during traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.

Glutothione Infusions
Glutathione is a natural substance that is present in all human cells. It functions as an antioxidant, which means that it donates electrons to quench free radicals, ultimately protecting cells. If glutathione is depleted in a cell, it will lead to cell death. Glutathione protects cells of many types, especially the skin, lens, retina, and cornea. It is also a cofactor in many bodily processes and is the foundation for the main detoxification pathway in the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestinal lining, and other organs. Glutathione has been the subject of scientific research for many years. Studies have shown that levels of glutathione directly correspond to the health and function of cells. It has been shown to decrease the toxicity of chemotherapy treatments.
IV Glutathione Shows Promise in Treating Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
In Parkinson’s disease, dopamine-producing neurons in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra die off as a result of free radical-based oxidative damage. Researchers observed that a high proportion of Parkinson’s patients are deficient in glutathione. Glutathione protects against oxidation by free radicals. Clinical studies now clearly demonstrate that IV glutathione significantly improves Parkinson’s symptoms, and may very well retard progression of the disease.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurodegenerative disease in which the neurons are stripped of their myelin. This inflammatory process leaves lesions called plaques throughout the neurons in the spinal cord and brain. The inflammation is also thought to be caused by free radicals. A wealth of experimental evidence shows that glutathione is severely depleted in the brains of MS patients, making repletion with IV glutathione a rational therapeutic approach.
Conditions that may improve with Glutothione Infusions:
Parkinson’s
Alzheimer’s
Multiple Sclerosis
Inflammatory conditions
Liver disease (cirrhosis, hepatitis, fatty liver)
Lung disease (asthma, COPD)
Autism
Depression
Improved athletic performance
