delivery of nutrients is an excellent method to provide
the body with therapeutic and nutritional agents. When
we ingest nutritive supplements in the form of tinctures,
pills or capsules, much is lost in the digestive process.
When specially prepared nutrients are injected intravenously,
they bypass the liver and digestive organs and are available
directly through the circulation to the tissues and
cells of the body. In chronic and depleted conditions,
and where the digestive functions are often compromised,
large doses of nutrients call be delivered comfortably
and safely as part of an integrated naturopathic treatment
program. In acute infections, smaller I.V. doses can
be used to enhance immune function.
I.V. therapies at IHA are given by a qualified laboratory
assistant, using accepted protocols to ensure safety
and effectiveness. Treatments your doctor may recommend
range from a simple I.V. push (IVP) to a larger dose
of vitamins and minerals. The IVP contains vitamins,
minerals and homeopathic medicines which are injected
over a 10 to 15 minute period of time. Larger doses
of nutrients are given through I.V. drip, which may
require one to three hours of relaxing in a pleasant
and comfortable environment. Outside of the gentle,
initial prick, these treatments are painless and patients
enjoy a restful experience as well being improves.
