IV Nutrients

What is it?
A mixture of vitamins and minerals diluted in sterile water and given intravenously.  Intravenous therapy is faster and more efficient than taking vitamins orally.  It bypasses the stomach and intestines so your body can rebuild its stores of the nutrients which will allow healing to occur.

What's involved?
Dr. Wendy Wells will administer the IV.  Each therapy is uniquely tailored to your specific needs.  The time involved ranges from 30 minutes to 3 hours.

When will I start to feel better?
This depends on the individual.  Migraine and asthma symptoms can be resolved within minutes of beginning the IV.  The more severe the deficiency, the longer time it takes to restore the balance in the body.

Most people who suffer from recurring acute or chronic disease have an unhealthy gastrointestinal tract.  This causes our nutrients to be processed incorrectly and become deficient.  Deficiencies of vitamins and minerals can damage our bodies healing mechanisms as well.  In addition, much of the food we consume is being grown in nutrient deficient soil.
