IV Nutrition
Due to the lack of proper nutrition body processes can break down. This in turn leads to chronic health problems and disease such as fatigue, joint pain, autoimmune disease, tremor or atherosclerosis which may be traced back to a lack of proper nutrition. We offer pharmaceutical quality intravenous nutrition (IV nutrition), which is a safe, effective, potent tool in the battle against chronic disease. When the health of the patient prevents adequate absorption of nutrients taken orally IV nutrition is necessary.
Benefits of IV Nutrition
- Volume of nutrition necessary is beyond what is able to be administered orally
- Nutrients are more effective if given intravenously
Along with IV nutrition we also offer other injectable nutrient based services, which include intramuscular infections, M.I.C. weight loss injections and trigger point therapy.

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
OXYGEN IS ESSENTIAL
Usually we get all the oxygen we need from breathing atmospheric air. But our atmosphere has changed in just a few hundred years from 35% oxygen to 21% in the middle of the ocean. Not only is our air not what it used to be it is more. There is more pollution, more toxins, more particulate matter but less of what we need most. Today most cities have 15-18% oxygen. Proponents of HBOT doubt that the human body has been able to evolve quickly enough to require less oxygen.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, HBOT is a form of oxygen therapy intended to make more oxygen available to the body.
- There is little in the physical universe that is more important to sustaining
life than oxygen - Our body needs energy and 90% of our body’s energy comes from oxygen,
only 10% from food and water. - The average adult consumes six pounds of oxygen per day.
- Anaerobic bacteria, toxins, fungi, and viruses all have one thing in common. None can survive in oxygen rich environment.
Oxygen feeds the body, supports the immune system, destroys toxic substances, and promotes new cell growth. It is our primary source of energy, and is the fuel the body requires for the proper operation of all major systems.
THERAPY
Our Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) safely increases the body’s
oxygen uptake by raising the barometric pressure. Hyperbaric chambers are simply enclosures, which can be pressurized to allow the person inside to experience atmospheric pressures greater than normal environmental pressures. Hyperbaria is based on Henry’s law of physics, which states that more gas is dissolved in a liquid by increasing the pressure of the gas.
Blood is made up of three main components: white blood cells that fight infection, red blood cells that carry oxygen, and plasma, the fluid that carries both kinds of cells throughout the body. Under normal circumstances, only the red blood cells carry oxygen. Since HBOT forces oxygen into the body fluids, under pressure, oxygen dissolves into all of the body’s fluids, including the plasma, the lymph, the synovial (joint) fluid and the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These fluids can carry the extra oxygen even to areas where circulation is poor (or blocked), either by trickling past blockages or by seeping into the affected area.
Because a mild hyperbaric chamber utilizes ambient air, purified through filters, combined with an oxygen concentrator, it is completely safe. It can be used regularly without any danger of oxygen toxicity in the body. There is no risk of the negative effects that can be experienced from the elimination of ions and valuable gases such as nitrogen, as with regular treatments in 100% pure oxygen chambers. There are none of the hazards that exist with the pure hyperbaric oxygen chambers
Enhanced Athletic Performance
Hyperbaric therapy helps athletes by forcing more oxygen to reach tissue, organs, cells and bodily fluids providing up to 300% oxygen saturation. Furthermore, it has been shown that the pressurized environment of the chamber allows the athlete to recover more quickly from injury due to swelling, dehydration and jetlag. Many professional athletes travel with a hyperbaric chamber and even sleep in it.
- Improved Concentration
- Decreased Lactic Acid/Increased Oxygen Utilization
- Improved Detoxification
- Increased energy
- Maximized Organ Function
- Oxygen Saturation
- Peak Training
- Reduced Dehydration Up to 300%
- Repair Time Improved
Treatment
Preparing for Treatment
Dress in loose comfortable clothing. Shoes, jewelry, and any sharp objects should be removed before getting into the chamber. It is recommended that women not wear stockings because it may cause feelings of claustrophobia.
Treatment Process
The chamber will fill with air. Once it has expanded to its filled size, it will begin to pressurize. While the chamber is pressurizing, your ears will feel the change in pressure. Otherwise it should be unnoticeable. To equalize
the pressure and avoid the feeling of fullness in your ears, you will need to clear your ears by chewing (gum or food), swallowing, yawning, or the valsalva maneuver which is performed by closing the mouth, pinching the nostrils, and blowing. During the pressurization of the chamber, your mouth may become dry but should return to normal once the chamber is fully pressurized. Additionally, the chamber may become slightly warm while it is pressurizing but will cool at full pressure. You can sleep, meditate, read, watch a DVD or listen to music.
Side Effects
The most common side effect is discomfort to the ears and sinuses caused by pressure changes. To minimize the risk, patients learn to promote the adequate clearing of your ears during pressurization. Some patients who have become sedentary or very toxic may have cells, which do not get good circulation. HBOT provides oxygen to these cells that may in turn cause them to detoxify more quickly. Transient symptoms could be headaches, soreness, or skin rashes, which are good signs usually indicating detoxification.

Ozone
Why Use Ozone?
Most everyone knows that Ozone purifies water by killing bacteria, viruses, and other disease causing organisms that are in water. This capability made ozone the prime method of water disinfection in Europe almost 100 years ago, and it still is.
But what if you put ozone on someone’s skin, on infected wounds? Shouldn’t it work to kill bacteria, viruses and other pathogens that are keeping that wound from healing? In the early 1900’s doctors discovered that indeed it did, but something else happened too. Not only did ozone kill the pathogens on the skin and in the wound, but it also caused the healing mechanisms at the edges of the wounds to ‘activate’, a process called granulation.
You see, what they discovered was that ozone’s value did not stop at the simple eradication of invading microorganisms, but it also had an effect on stimulating healing mechanisms.
What else can Ozone do?
Researchers from Spain, Italy, Russia, Germany, Cuba and many other nations around the world have studied ozone for many years. The researchers have found that ozone can in fact increase the energy production in your cells (in the mitochondria), increase the amount of oxygen that reaches your tissues and cells, modulate your immune system to make it work better, and so, so much more! There are even studies to prove than if you use ozone before you come Into contact with toxins you can precondition your body to withstand much more that if you had not used ozone. This “preconditioning” can help you to stay healthy under many circumstances that would otherwise have made you sick.
Okay….so why use Ozone?
Practitioners and home users are using ozone because ozone is able to provide a health benefit in so many circumstances where ‘modern’ western medicine cannot. Plus, as discussed above, it can even help you to stay healthy through “preconditioning”.
