I have had diabetes my entire life, and I am very thankful for the fact that modern medical discoveries have helped me live a happy, healthy life despite my disease. I have had to watch what I eat and take medications daily for most of my life, and while i used to feel like I was "missing out" when other children were able to eat sugary candy and I wasn't, I eventually learned that sugar-free candy tastes great. I am always keeping up on the latest diabetes research, and while researching, I have also learned about many other diseases and ailments and how they are treated and controlled. I know others are too busy to browse a bunch of medical websites, like I like to do, so I decided to start a blog that others can visit that contains information on a variety of medical topics all in one place!

The Health Benefits Of Professional IV Infusions
For Content
Most people are familiar with the basic premise of an IV infusion: a needle is inserted into a vein, and fluids are delivered directly into the bloodstream. It is routinely performed in hospitals to help patients recover from an illness, prepare for surgery, or replenish nutrients lost through physical exertion.
What many people don't realize, however, is that IV infusions can be tailored to provide specific health benefits and administered outside of a hospital setting. From vitamins and minerals to anti-aging agents, there's an IV infusion for just about every health concern, and it can be offered right from the comforts of your own home by a traveling medical professional. Here's what you need to know about the most popular IV infusion therapies and their potential health benefits.
Myers' Cocktail
Myers' cocktail is one of the most popular IV infusions, and for good reason. Some sources state that a Myers' cocktail "has been found to be effective against acute asthma attacks, migraines, fatigue (including chronic fatigue syndrome), fibromyalgia, acute muscle spasm, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, cardiovascular disease, and other disorders." That's quite an endorsement for a mix of vitamins and minerals meant to boost energy levels, relieve stress, and improve immunity.
IV Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help build collagen, fight inflammation, and boost immunity. When delivered intravenously, vitamin C bypasses the digestive system, which means that more of the nutrient is available for use by the body. Vitamin C is a popular IV infusion for fending off a cold and "fighting jet lag" when traveling by replenishing fluids.
Glutathione Therapy
Glutathione is a substance that naturally occurs in the body and plays a role in detoxification. However, it decreases as we age. Experts state that our bodies "[don't] seem to absorb glutathione well from foods." Furthermore, "taking glutathione by mouth does not appear to be an effective way to get it into your body . . . [as it is] broken down by enzymes in the stomach."
Professional IV infusions of glutathione, however, deliver this important substance straight into the bloodstream, where it can go to work, flushing out toxins and free radicals. Glutathione therapy helps treat fatigue, headaches, and chronic pain.
If you're looking for a way to improve your overall health and well-being, professional IV infusions may be just what you need. These nutrient-rich therapies can deliver a host of health benefits, from boosting energy levels to fighting inflammation. Talk to your doctor about which IV infusion would be right for you.
