Myer's Cocktail
Hundreds of physicians throughout the U.S. currently use the
Myer's Cocktail,
a low-profile therapy used to treat digestive illnesses and conditions. John Myers, M.D., a Maryland Physician, created the cocktail and since, has been made popular by Alan Gaby, M.D., president of the American Holistic Medical Association. Dr. Gaby currently writes about many nutritional factors in medicine to aid in bloating, malabsorption and food sensitivities.
The Myers Cocktail is an intravenous injection of nutrients to treat patients with a faulty digestion system; resulting in vitamin deficiency. When nutrients are injected intravenously, the digestion is bypassed. Furthermore, the levels in the bloodstream are temporarily increased so that the nutrients are forced into the cells, and frequently into the mitochondria where they are active. Many other digestive diseases cause the body to use nutrients at a faster rate, or to require higher amounts for proper healing. This temporary boost frequently “kick-starts” the cells, so that energy is produced more efficiently in them.
A few conditions that respond to a series of Myer's Cocktails include; fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and chronic depression. Some patients may experience an energy boost lasting for days; sometimes even weeks. In the case of fibromyalgia, decreased pain can be observed. In other chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis, there is electron microscope evidence that the gut “leaks” nutrients, and the injections help get necessary nutrients into the cells. Chronic asthma and other lung disease, congestive heart failure, and chronic allergic problems can respond with more energy and less symptoms. Patients who get sick constantly with infections may find an increased immune response, with less susceptibility to in acute situations such as viral illnesses. |
