How to know if you need IV Nutrient Therapy aka The Myers Cocktail!

July 18, 20252 min read

Raise ​your ​glasses. ​It's ​cocktail ​hour. ​I ​admit ​that ​might ​be ​a ​smidgey ​misleading, ​because ​this ​post ​involves ​no ​olives, ​fancy ​tuxedos, ​dresses, ​or ​even ​any ​hours. ​Introducing ​the ​Myers ​cocktail. ​

For ​decades, ​medical ​and ​naturopathic ​doctors​alike ​have ​been ​injecting ​vitamins ​and ​minerals ​for ​various ​therapeutic ​effects. ​The ​Myers ​cocktail ​was ​developed ​by ​a ​doctor ​of ​the ​same ​name, ​and ​he ​found ​it ​clinically ​useful ​for ​a ​number ​of​conditions. ​​Recently, ​​at ​a ​coffee ​shop, ​two ​women ​came ​up ​to ​me ​and ​said, ​we ​were ​just ​talking ​about ​you ​and ​those ​Myers ​cocktails. ​We ​think ​it's ​time ​for ​another. ​​Of ​course, ​they ​were ​patients. ​

What's ​in ​a ​Myers ​cocktail? ​The ​IV ​Bag ​is ​a ​mixture ​of ​vitamins ​B ​and ​C, ​magnesium, ​calcium, ​and ​certain ​trace ​minerals. ​Injecting ​these ​nutrients ​allows ​them ​to ​bypass ​the ​need ​for ​absorption ​in ​the ​gut, ​leaving ​patients ​feeling ​energized ​and ​relaxed, ​with ​an ​enhanced ​ability ​to ​ward ​off ​infections. ​So ​what's ​it ​good ​for? So ​many ​things. ​

They're ​particularly ​beneficial ​for ​people ​who ​have ​gut ​disorders ​and ​have ​a ​hard ​time ​digesting ​and ​absorbing ​nutrients ​from ​their ​food. ​These ​include ​things ​like ​Crohn's, ​colitis, ​or ​irritable ​bowel ​syndrome.

​ What ​else? ​Well, ​more ​specifically, ​the ​Myers ​cocktail ​has ​been ​found ​to ​be ​effective ​against, ​with, ​or ​for ​acute ​asthma ​attacks, ​migraines, ​fatigue, ​including ​chronic ​fatigue ​syndrome, ​fibromyalgia, ​acute ​muscle ​spasms, ​upper ​respiratory ​tract ​infections, ​chronic ​sinusitis, ​seasonal ​allergic ​rhinitis, ​cardiovascular ​disease, ​hyperthyroidism, ​dysmenorrhea, ​that's ​period ​pain ​and ​stress ​and ​other ​disorders.

​​It ​covers ​a ​lot. ​Come ​on ​in ​for ​one. ​​I'm ​happy ​to ​help.
