Alternative Medicine – Giving The Body What It Needs To Heal Itself

In the practice of medicine, intravenous drips are used to introduce a lot of substances directly into the bloodstream, usually drugs. Alternative medicine uses IV drips in chelation therapy to introduce agents that take heavy metals out of the body. But IV drips can also be effectively used to supply the patient with much needed nutrients to speed healing.

If patients receives nutrients by IV, this process gets around the problems of uncertain absorption into the bloodstream and delivers them directly. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other supplements can speed up recovery.

Various substances can be introduced via IV depending on what’s wrong with the patient. High doses of vitamin C, B complex, magnesium, trace minerals and glutathoine can be used to strengthen the immune system.

Chronic illnesses and infections can be relieved with this method of treatment. Lyme disease, cancer, shingles, pneumonia, flu, gastrointestinal distress will benefit from this therapy and it will help patients recover and avoid infections if given before and after surgery.

Herpes, shingles, Epstein Barr virus and cancer, in addition to other viral infections can be relieved with high doses of vitamin C, up to 100,000 mg. Such direct infusions defeat the lingering viruses.

Parkinson’s disease, heart conditions and other acute viral infections respond to high doses of the antioxidant glutathoine given intraveneously.

An amino acid drip is used to treat nutritional deficiencies caused by malnutrition or mal-absorption.

PlaqueX is another therapy composed of a drip of phospholipids which clear the build up of plaque out of arteries. The walls of cells are composed of phospholipids – they protect and control what enters cells. Getting older causes a decline in production of phospholipids, so PlaqueX therapy replaces those lacking building blocks of cells. It has several effects besides cleaning out arteries – it can reduce angina attacks, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, increase blood circulation and kidney function. It also increases male potency and gives the patient more ability to tolerate exercise.

Although using IV drips for natural supplements may be considered alternative medicine right now, the number of patients successfully helped is increasing at a great rate, and were it not for the colossal profits raked in by drug companies promoting their own poisons with side effects, it would be standard medical practice.
