IV Nutrient Therapy and Chelation Therapy
Intravenous (IV) Nutrient Therapy and Chelation Therapy
What is Orthomolecular Medicine?
Orthomolecular medicine describes the practice of preventing and treating disease by providing the body with optimal amounts of substances which are natural to the body. The term "orthomolecular" was first used by Linus Pauling in a paper he wrote in the journal Science in 1968.
The key idea in orthomolecular medicine is that genetic factors affect not only the physical characteristics of individuals, but also to their biochemical milieu. Biochemical pathways of the body have significant genetic variability and diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, schizophrenia or depression are associated with specific biochemical abnormalities which are causal or contributing factors of the illness.
Based on investigational scientific studies, single blinded and double blinded randomized controlled trials, clinical experience, and case histories, claims have been made that therapeutic nutrition can prevent, treat, or sometimes cure, acne, bee sting, burns, cancer, common cold, drug addiction, drug overdose, heart diseases, acute hepatitis, herpes, influenza, mononucleosis, mushroom poisoning, neuropathy & polyneuritis (including Multiple sclerosis), osteoporosis, polio, "alcoholism, allergies, arthritis, autism, epilepsy, hypertension, hypoglycemia, migraine, clinical depression, learning disabilities, retardation, mental and metabolic disorders, skin problems, and hyperactivity," Raynaud's disease, heavy metal toxicity, radiation sickness, * Pyroluria, schizophrenia, shock, snakebite, spider bite, tetanus toxin and viral pneumonia.
What is IV Nutrition?
Intravenous nutrition is method of feeding vitamins, minerals, and other natural therapeutic substances directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract, where many nutrients may be partially or fully lost due to poor absorption. IV nutrition also creates higher than normal blood levels of the specified nutrients, which have been shown by the scientific literature to be effective in the treatment of certain conditions.
Therapeutic Applications
Hypertension, Asthma, Parkinson's Disease, HIV Infection, Congestive Heart Failure, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Diabetes, just to name a few, have had proven favorable responses to IV nutrition as shown by the scientific literature.
Safety of IV Nutrient Therapy
Dr. Fox tailors treatments mainly from the body of scientific evidence specific to the given condition. We only use therapies shown to have a minimal of side effects, and we customize our IV infusions in consultation with some of the world's leading authorities in this field of medicine. Some people may have a fear of needles, but we do everything possible to create a warm, comfortable, relaxing environment for our patients while they receive their infusions.
Effects of Intravenous Nutrition
Direct cellular nutrition
Bypasses intestinal malabsorption
Immediate therapeutic effects
Condition specific IV therapeutic effects
Alleviates nutritional deficiencies
IV Vitamin C (IVC)
This is an effective way to treat infectious diseases from cold and flues to Hepatitis C and HIV. IVC Therapy has been shown to kill viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner.
IV Glutathione
Effective detoxification through the liver. Indicated in Parkinson’s Disease and Macular Degeneration.
Myers’ Cocktail
This widely used treatment has been a cornerstone for orthomolecular medicine, and has greatly improved conditions such as chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, migraines, and asthma.
IV Nutrition
Direct delivery of nutrients to address deficiencies related to disease-specific conditions provide an immediate therapeutic effect.
IV Chelation
This therapy involves the addition of a chelating agent, such as EDTA to form an ionic bond with metallic agents such as calcium, lead, mercury, aluminum, iron, and cadmium to mobilize and excrete these elements from the body. Age-related conditions, including heart disease and diabetes, respond well to EDTA Chelation therapy.
