You want quick relief for your symptoms, whether you're hungover, sick, or dehydrated. If there are better choices available, don't waste your time on home remedies or other supplements. For those looking for symptom relief, the Myers' cocktail is a common option. Are you uncertain what it is? Read more about the Myers' cocktail's ingredients and benefits.

Myers’ Cocktail

The Myers' Cocktail is a popular naturopathic medicine method. It's a method of providing basic nutritional support directly to cells, bypassing the digestive system, which is often disrupted in cancer patients. Furthermore, illness allows the body to consume nutrients at a higher rate or to demand greater quantities of nutrients for healing.

Dr. John Myers of Johns Hopkins University in Maryland developed a nutrient mixture known as "Myers' cocktail" in the 1960s. He claimed that a single intravenous infusion containing a combination of key nutrients would enhance the body's efficiency by simply flooding each cell with nutrition. Hundreds of thousands of patients have shown that this simple, healthy nutritional delivery mechanism aids in the treatment of a number of health conditions, including cancer.

Magnesium, calcium, selenium, vitamin B-5 (dexpanthenol), vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B-12 (hydroxocobalamin), vitamin B complex, and vitamin C make up the cocktail's basic ingredients. The ingredients vary slightly depending on the patient. A Myers' Cocktail is often offered as an intravenous injection.

Magnesium deficiency, for example, has long been considered to be carcinogenic in and of itself. A high level of supplemented magnesium also prevents carcinogenesis in solid tumors. Increased magnesium intake decreases a man's risk of colon cancer by more than half, according to Japanese researchers.

Let's talk about another part of the cocktail: selenium. The elements selenium and oxygen have a complicated relationship. In 1966, Dr. Raymond Shamberger of the Cleveland Clinic found that cancer patients had lower selenium levels than healthy people. He also noticed that cancer death rates were lowest in areas with high levels of selenium in the soil. It's just as important to get selenium from whole foods as it is to get B12 in the hydroxocobalamin form.

Benefits of The Myers' Cocktail IV

There are several advantages to a Myers' cocktail due to the ingredients used in this IV therapy. Even if you don't have any of the illnesses or symptoms mentioned above, a Myers' cocktail may be able to make you feel better. The cocktail can include the following ingredients:

  • Ensure the body is properly hydrated.
  • Give the body the vitamins and nutrients it needs.
  • Enable you to receive care at home and raise your energy levels.
  • Boost the mood by reducing tension

IV Vitamin C

Cancer patients are infamous for having low vitamin C levels. Vitamin C levels in the blood can be 70 to 100 times higher when administered by intravenous infusion than when administered orally.

IV vitamin C is used to help with scurvy, wound healing, detoxification, and immune response, in addition to its ability to destroy cancer cells. Intravenous vitamin C reduces inflammation, which correlates with lower levels of tumor markers.
