Intravenous Vitamin C

 

Ascorbic Acid Molecule

 

What is Vitamin C?
Linus Pauling extoled the virtues of Vitamin C, ascorbic acid. We know vitamin C to be a water soluable antioxidant that is an effective free radical scavenger. Although it is required for life, humans are unable to synthesize it. So, it must be obtained from the diet or supplementation.

Why use Mega doses?
Long term or severe deficiencies need high doses in order to regain normal levels. Vitamin C has strong anti-cancer activity. It enters the tumor cell which then dies, possibly reducing the size and growth of tumors. While Vitamin C is hazardous to abberent cells, it supports healthy tissue. Vitamin C therapy can help recovery from acute infections and allergic reactions. Furthermore, Vitamin C is considered a chelator.

Protocol
Our comprehensive intake includes an extensive medical history, a consultation with the doctor, and a brief physical exam. A health assessment is discussed and certain lab tests may be required prior to any intravenous therapy.

 

 

Administration
High doses of Vitamin C taken orally may cause diarhea. Intravenous administration avoids this gastrointestinal side effect and allows for very high doses to be tolerated well. A vitamin C intravenouos treatment ranges from 25 to 50 grams added to a carrier fluid. The client sits comfortably in a recliner for the duration of the infusion, 1.5 - 3 hours. The number of treatments depend on the client's condition, the severity of symptoms, and the response to treatment.

Optimizing the Program
Many people who undergo intravenous vitamin C therapy also have a supplement regimen, exercise regularly and modify their diets. It makes sense to modify lifestyle to optimize health on as many levels as possible.
