Intravenous (IV) Therapy

The human body has an amazing ability to heal itself.  Healing from illness or disease requires work that the body may be unable to perform properly.  It becomes burdened and too sick to run its own healing processes.  The innate and natural reparative processes are restricted as the cells are unable to do the work of transporting nutrients and properly absorb nutrients in the form of food or supplementation.

 

 

IV Therapy allows for a delivery of nutrients directly into the body and bloodstream at high concentrations to support and augment healing.  It is a safe and effective way to enhance the therapeutic response.  Substances given this way allows direct and better access to the bloodstream, which is particularly necessary for individuals whose absorptive ability of the gastrointestinal tract is limited or impaired.  Higher concentrations of nutrients are achieved this way, where it is not possible with oral means.  As the body heals, cells regain their ability to actively transport vitamins, minerals and other nutrients on their own and the body’s own healing process can then take over.

 

 

Numerous naturopathic medicaments can be delivered through IV and Injections Therapy.  Dr. Sraw uses specific formulas that are specifically tailored to meet your needs.

 

 

Vitamin Injection Therapy with intravenous and other routes of injections of naturopathic medicaments is a safe and effective way to enhance the therapeutic response.
