As a practitioner, it is always very exciting and rewarding to offer a service that can yield a wide array of fantastic benefits for virtually everyone. IV Vitamin Therapy is one of these treatments!
Sub-optimal vitamin, mineral, and other nutrient status is associated with many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis. We live in an age of processed, genetically modified, and nutritionally deficient foods. Environmental toxins and prescription medications deplete our bodies of vital nutrients, and poor gut health prevents us from properly absorbing them. For all of these reasons and more, it is vitally important to supplement our diets with critical nutrients for our health.
What is IV Vitamin Therapy Exactly?
IV Therapy is a method of feeding vitamins, minerals, and other natural substances directly into a patient’s bloodstream. The major advantage of this is bypassing the digestive system. Since the stomach has a threshold of how much it can absorb, it is not possible to get larger therapeutic doses of nutrients into your bloodstream without by passing the digestive system. IV therapy enables us to get 100% of the nutrients directly into the patients’ bloodstream! The body can also begin to use these nutrients instantly since there is no wait time for the vitamins to pass through your digestive system.
Since this is a medical procedure, we need to run some basic blood work on you so we have a baseline of your health before you have your first IV. We can run these labs in the same visit for your convenience. Our IV Therapies are done from the comfort of our IV Lounge, with comfortable chairs and a relaxing environment. Once your IV drip beings it usually only takes about 20 minutes. Patients will often feel an immediate boost of energy, a decrease in aches and pains, and an increased ability to fight off a lingering infection.

Patient Testimonial:
“Words really cannot describe the countless blessings that have been bestowed on me because of Dr. Shel and her knowledge, skills and abilities to help me.

A Few of the IV Formulas we Offer Include:
Vitamin C IV
Vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid, is an important antioxidant within the body. Antioxidants protect the body from oxidative stress. We do not have the ability to make vitamin C in our bodies; therefore we must consume it in our daily living by diet and supplementation. Once vitamin C is introduced by IV it has the ability to raise the blood concentration more than would be allowed by an oral dose.
Vitamin C is known for its anti-cancer, anti-viral and anti-histamine properties. Vitamin C is necessary for collagen and neurotransmitter production in the body. Since vitamin C is an antioxidant and an integral component in the formation of collagen, it is also very helpful in the prevention of heart disease. We use IV vitamin C for cancer, immune support, surgical healing, and sports injury repair.

Glutathione IV
Glutathione is a highly potent antioxidant that actually aids in protecting the cells of the body from the harmful toxins. Glutathione strengthens the immune system, and reduces ones risks for disease including cancer and heart disease. Glutathione increases sensitivity to Dopamine which is depleted in Parkinson’s patients. Glutathione is important to the body’s ability to detoxify.
Our bodies produce Glutathione naturally, however due to a multitude of toxins in our environment today; our ability to produce enough Glutathione to detoxify these toxins is insufficient. Without sufficient Glutathione metabolism our bodies are not able to properly detoxify and disease sets in. Because oral Glutathione is not readily absorbed, it is given by IV.
Some Common Conditions Treated with Glutathione IV Therapy:
- Cancer
- Dementia
- Heart Disease
- Autism
