Glutathione is critical for one simple reason: It recycles antioxidants. Dealing with free radicals is like handing off a hot potato. They get passed around from vitamin C to vitamin E to Lipoic acid and then finally to glutathione which cools off the free radicals and recycles other antioxidants. It is critical for immune function and controlling inflammation. It is the master detoxifier and the body’s main antioxidant, protecting our cells and making our energy metabolism run well.

Patients should consume sulfur-rich foods. The main ones in the diet are garlic, onions and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, collards, cabbage, cauliflower, watercress, etc.) Supplements that boost Glutathione are NAC, ALA, B5, B6, B12, Selenium, Vitamin C, E, and Milk Thistle.

Glutathione cannot be ingested orally because it is a peptide (protein) and will be broken down by the GI tract. Intravenous Glutathione is an excellent option for anyone needing detoxification. The recommended treatment course is 6 weeks. Each infusion will last for approximately 15minutes.

Ingredients:
Glutathione, MB12 and sterile water

Phosphatidylcholine is the most abundant phospholipid in the composition of cell membranes. It protects cells against toxicity and infection. It also protects the liver against damage from alcohol, pollutants, drugs and infections. Although 70% of cell membranes are composed of Phosphatidylcholine, little is manufactured in the body. The choline component is received primarily through diet, and is considered an essential nutrient. Cho-line is required for proper metabolism of fats. As an IV nutritional therapy, phosphatidylcholine is effective in reducing angina, improving memory and mental function, improvement of kidney function in CRF or CRI. It is indicated for hardening of the arteries, CAD, PVD, elevated LDL cholesterol, macular degeneration, liver damage, blood pressure, and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The recommended treatment course is 30 infusions over 10-15 weeks, preferably 2-3 times per week. Then 1-2 treatments per month to keep the condition stabilized. Each infusion will last for approximately 120 minutes.

Ingredients:
PhosChol/Deoxy-PLX – Phosphatidylcholine, deoxycholic acid, benzyl alcohol, polysorbate, vitamin E, and D5W.

Myers’ Cocktail is a mix of vitamins and minerals, developed by John Myers, MD, 30 years ago. This cocktail is used to enhance the immune system. Myers’ cocktail has been used to relieve symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia, Fatigue, Anxiety, Irritable Bowel, Hypertension, Adrenal fatigue, Autoimmune disease, Allergies, headaches, and cardiovascular disease. The results are increased energy and pain reduction. The recommended treatment course is 6 weeks. Each infusion will last for approximately 60 minutes.

Ingredients:
Vitamin C, Magnesium Chloride, Calcium Gluconate, Pyridoxine B6, Hy-droxyB12, B-complex, Dexpanthenol, and Saline.

Vitamin C is a pro-oxidant (anti-oxidant) that creates free radicals that will kill cancer cells and not normal cells. Vitamin C delivered intravenously in high doses also arrests the growth of tumor cells and promotes apoptosis (cell lysis). Cancer patients need to increase their intake of protein (50% more than usual), this will help to maintain muscle mass, nourish the lining of the GI tract, boost blood counts, heal tissue and boost the immune system. As an adjunct therapy, anti-oxidants increase the rate at which cancer cells are destroyed, and so the cells become less able to switch on the gene that tells them to grow. The recommended treatment course is 2-3 times per week. Patients are started out at a low dose and work their way up to the therapeutic dose of 50,000mg. Infusions should be continued for one year if therapeutic benefit is reached.

Ingredients:
Vitamin C (from tapioca), Calcium gluconate, Magnesium Chloride, Sodium Bicarbonate, Lidocaine, Selenium, Zinc Oxide, Vitamin K3, Potassium Chloride, Saline.
