Despite the (mostly) unsavory publicity that IV vitamin therapy has been receiving lately, it still deserves a second look. Why? Because despite the current media hype on these so-called party girl drips, IV vitamin treatment is in fact an old and trusted remedy that's already been in use for decades.
The early form of this treatment is called the Myer's Cocktail. It was developed more than 30 years ago by John Myers, a doctor who lived and practiced in Baltimore. This pioneering IV vitamin cocktail contains magnesium, selenium, calcium, vitamins B5, B6, and B12, as well as an average of 25 grams of vitamin C.
Myer's nutrient concoction was originally used to address chronic fatigue syndrome with or without the Epstein-Barr virus; chronic depression; migraine; the ill effects of narcotic withdrawal; some respiratory issues; and sinusitis. Currently, this type of IV vitamin therapy is used against pimple breakouts, uneven skin tone, fatigue, insomnia, diminishing sex drive, dull skin, flaky skin, and eczema.
The secret to this impressive list is of course, in the mega-dosage of vitamins and nutrients the injectable cocktail can deliver. Vitamin C has a beneficial effect with allergies, it can also boost immunity. The combination of Vitamins C and B5 (pantothenic acid) can be stored in the adrenal glands to help maintain high energy levels throughout the day.
Magnesium relaxes smooth muscles in the lungs to help relieve asthma, hypertension and angina. IV magnesium is also associated with the relief of migraine pains as well as nausea and vomiting. Magnesium, in combination with calcium, vitamin C, and B complex vitamins, can treat fibromyalgia and myofacial pain. Calcium helps alleviate asthma, whereas selenium aids in detoxification of heavy metals. The B vitamins, on the other hand, have a positive effect on the body's energy levels.
Supporters of vitamin drips say that the more effective transfer of nutrients from the blood to the cells is what makes injectable vitamins more effective than the usual oral vitamins.
