IV Therapy Q & A

What is IV infusion therapy?

Infusion therapy involves the direct injection of nutrients into your bloodstream. These nutrients help patients manage the symptoms of a variety of chronic conditions. Many conditions impact your body’s ability to absorb nutrients or result in dietary needs that are difficult to meet through food alone.

Which conditions does IV infusion therapy treat?

You may consider infusion therapy if you experience the following conditions and symptoms:

Dehydration
Headaches
Malnutrition
Muscle tension
Viral infections
Fibromyalgia
Diabetes
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

Infusion therapy is also useful in treating hangovers or drug detox, and it can help athletes train for high-endurance events or recover from overexertion.

Regardless of your health status, infusion therapy can boost your energy levels and improve your overall nutrition, and it may be a useful preventive therapy. If you experience regular stress or take certain medications, you may also have depleted nutrient levels without realizing it.

What different types of IV infusion therapy does The Blend Institute offer?

Infusion therapy can involve a wide selection of nutritional combinations depending on your condition. After assessing your health and symptoms, Dr. Blend and his team will help you determine the right infusion. Options available at The Blend Institute include:

Myers Cocktail

Dr. John Myers, a Johns Hopkins University physician, developed this blend of vitamin C, magnesium, and six B vitamins in the 1970s. It treats a wide range of conditions including asthma, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia.

Glutathione therapy

Glutathione enhances liver and brain functions, improving memory and lowering the risk of conditions such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, neuropathy, and liver disease.

Chelation therapy

This treatment clears the blood of toxins such as iron, lead, and calcium, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and certain types of cancer.

High-dose vitamin C

In the high-dose concentrations that are possible through IV injection, vitamin C helps fight chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

Alpha lipoic acid

This antioxidant helps people manage diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and lowering blood sugar levels.

Hydrogen peroxide

This compound encourages your body to release separate oxygen molecules into your bloodstream, helping the liver and kidneys remove toxins while killing viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells.

Custom IV infusion treatments are also available depending on your needs. In addition to these nutritional therapies, Dr. Blend and Kimberly Blend offer ketamine IV treatment for mental health conditions including PTSD, drug-resistant depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
