Myers Cocktails at TruMed

We offer Edmonton The Myers

We've given our Edmonton patients thousands of Myers Cocktail IVs.

The Myers is our "go-to" for boosting energy when we suspect nutritional issues. 

Most commonly we offer it in a small volume Intravenous Vitamin Drip format.

We commonly use it for energy, mood, pain, athletic recovery and infections

Myers IV Ingredients

Every Myers IV is customized

The basics 

Our Naturopaths typically suggest the Myers IV 1x weekly for 3-4 weeks. 

Effects are rapid - most patients feel a boost within 24 hours.

The treatment is short - takes 10-14 minutes to administer 

The Myers is well tolerated - felling of pressure at the injection site can happen.

You can stack it - add Vitamin C, Glutathione or NAD to this treatment. 

Background

Dr. Alan Gaby MD devised a similar IV injection that John Myers MD had been administering.

Dr. Myers passed in 1984 and the injection was requested by former patients.

Over the next 16 years Dr. Gaby administered about 15 000 Myers Cocktail IV treatments.

Dr. Gaby has published and lectured on the awesome results he's seen with this IV therapy.

How it works

Massive Serum Levels

Oral administration of many nutrients result in only a small increase in blood concentrations.

IV administration can result in dramatically higher levels due to rapid entry into the bloodstream. 

Cellular Uptake

The marked levels levels allow cells to more efficiently take up nutrients.

A smaller concentration gradient allowing for more efficient cellular transport and uptake.

Biochemical Effects

Giving cells raw substrate allows the nutrients to engage in their normal biochemical roles.

For example B1 is involved in creating acetyl-CoA from pyruvate for energy production. 

Pharmacologic effects

The large concentrations allow nutrients to take on secondary, pharmacologic functions

For instance, a classic example is the anti-viral effect of high dose Vitamin C. 

Contents 

Originally, the Myers was done in a fairly small (20ml) syringe.

4 ml Mg, 2 ml Ca, 1 ml of B12, B6, B5, and B complex, 6 ml of C, and 8 ml of sterile water. 

We offer Edmonton a larger, stronger version of this that's evolved over 12 years.

Given either as a small volume IV that has double doses of most of the B Vitamins.

Added Riboflavin and 7.5x the dose of B12.

What can it be used for? 

Fatigue, Migraine, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Depression, Upper Respiratory Tract Infections

Seasonal Allergy, Narcotic Withdrawal, Hives, Athletic Performance and COPD. 

At TruMed, we've verified every one of Dr. Gaby's findings in our Edmonton patients.

We also use it for - Stress & Anxiety, Insomnia, PMS, MS, Parkinson's & Cognitive enhancement. 

What are the Side Effects? 

Our Naturopaths have administered thousands of Myers IV treatments.

The overall incidence of side effects is extremely low.

Our version is concentrated and patients can sometimes feel some discomfort at the site.

The magnesium can cause a distinct warming sensation.

How many treatments do I need? 

We usually recommend repeating the Myers IV weekly for 4 weeks.

This is to provide a sustained effect.

Monthly "booster" IVs or to "drop in" as needed thereafter.
