Question 3

IMMUNE SUPPORT IV

Jan · Accepted Answer

Approximately 1.8 trillion immune cells patrol the complex inner world of your body to protect you from disease. This internal army is made up of white blood cells (leukocytes), which include lymphocytes (B cells and T cells), macrophages, cytotoxic T-cells, natural killer cells, mast cells. Immune cells recognize and kill bacteria, viruses and fungi. Natural killer cells and cytotoxic T cells can recognize damaged cells and cancer cells and destroy them. Basically, you have been curing cancer every day of your life. Immune cells can also recognize, tag and destroy senescent (old) cells in the body so the molecular parts can be recycled to make new cells. This key process is called autophagy. Inflammation is a vital part of the immune system’s response to invasive microbes as well as damaged cells, and toxic chemicals.

The immune system is weakened by:

Toxins such as xylene, benzene, and styrene found in 100% of people tested
Glyphosate (RoundUp) found in 80% of people tested
Lead and aluminum found in all Americans
EMF and Wi-fi exposure in excess
Stress and worry are potent immune suppressors

Basically, as we age the immune system also ages and we become more vulnerable to
infections, poor wound healing, cancer and other chronic diseases.

Question 4

IV NAD

Jan · Accepted Answer

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD, is the molecule that transports volatile hydrogen in the mitochondria so it can combine with oxygen, thus creating adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, the cellular energy source for every bodily function and more than a thousand metabolic reactions in the organs and tissues. The heart uses the most NAD as it beats around 86,000 times daily. The brain consumes about one-third of all the energy produced by the body. Often an energy deficiency is first detected in the brain with poor concentration, difficulty focusing, and attention deficit. If the energy shortage lasts long enough, brain neurons cannot synthesize neurotransmitters, the molecules of consciousness, such as serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline, and we experience anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance and other mood changes.

NAD functions in the body:

Increases energy in heart cells
Increases energy in brain cells
Protects and repairs DNA, reducing DNA mutations which contribute to atherosclerosis, cancer, immunodeficiency, rheumatoid arthritis, and much more
The “most powerful antioxidant” in the body according to Dr. Richard Passwater in his book NADH-The Energizing Coenzyme
Lowers cholesterol
Lowers blood pressure
Strengthens the immune system
Stimulates production of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline, thereby improving moods
Stimulates nitric oxide production, thereby improving blood flow in the body

IV NAD:

variable dosages given 5 consecutive days

Includes oral supplements designed to enhance outcome

At MindBody Medicine Center we use a powerful, proprietary form of NAD for IV therapy as well as other clinical applications. IV NAD dosage is variable depending on individual need.

Question 5

HIGH DOSE VITAMIN C  for cancer

Jan · Accepted Answer

High dose IV vitamin C has been used to treat cancer since Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling introduced the treatment in the 1960s. Drs Cameron and Pauling found that vitamin C helped advanced cancer patients live about four times longer than cancer patients not given vitamin C. Vitamin C is structurally like glucose and is quickly taken up by sugar hungry cancer cells. When vitamin C is given intravenously at levels greater than 50 grams, it shifts from antioxidant to oxidant by generating hydrogen peroxide, a powerful molecule containing two oxygen atoms and two hydrogen atoms, or H2O2 (water is H2O, with one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms). Our immune cells create hydrogen peroxide and use the oxidizing effect of free oxygen to destroy harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi and cancer cells. IV vitamin C dosages

25 grams
50 grams
75 grams

Treatment time: 3 4 hours Warning: Before giving IV vitamin C greater than 15 grams G6PD blood testing is required to avoid hemolytic anemia in susceptible patients. . G6PD deficiency is a genetic disorder and is most common in males, and about 1 in 10 African American males in the United States have it. The primary function of G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) is to protect red blood cells from damage by producing NADPH within the cell. Triggers include infections, stress, fava beans, aspirin, and other drugs.

Question 6

HIGH DOSE VITAMIN C – for viral infection

Jan · Accepted Answer

Medical research has shown that high dose vitamin C is effective in treating Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) which is a common viral infection that spreads through saliva and body fluids. Once infected the virus stays in the body for a lifetime in a dormant state. However, when the immune system is weakened by stress or toxins, the virus can reappear and lead to infectious mononucleosis. EBV is often associated with common fatigue as well as chronic fatigue syndrome. Studies have shown that people infected with a virus usually lack vitamin C. More recently, high-dose vitamin C infusions have been used by researchers to treat COVID-19 infections, achieving good results. IV vitamin C dosages

25 grams
50 grams

Treatment time: 3 – 4 hours Warning: Before giving IV vitamin C greater than 15 grams G6PD blood testing is required to avoid hemolytic anemia in susceptible patients.

Question 7

AUTOIMMUNITY AND NEUROPATHY -  IV  ALPHA LIPOIC ACID

Jan · Accepted Answer

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is one of the most effective antioxidants and it is the only antioxidant known to easily enter the brain and nervous system. It protects nerve tissues from damage caused by oxidative stress, which is a contributing factor to neuropathy in conditions like diabetes. ALA will help to reduce pain, numbness, and tingling commonly found in the legs. It has multiple functions as well, including regenerating glutathione, recycling CoQ10, stimulating immune T cell activity and reducing insulin resistance. It also modifies gene expression to reduce inflammation. It is considered a safe and well tolerated chelating agent for heavy metals including lead and mercury. However, EDTA and DMSA are more potent for chelation therapy.

IV ALA is an effective treatment for:

peripheral neuropathy, commonly related to ageing
diabetic neuropathy
Hepatitis C

Alpha lipoic acid combined with low dose naltrexone (LDN) is useful for:

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Lupus)

Question 9

LONGEVITY ENHANCEMENT using IV NAD

Jan · Accepted Answer

NAD transports volatile hydrogen in the mitochondria in order to combine with oxygen to make adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which is the fuel for every organ in the body. Digestion, liver detoxification, immunity and more depend on ATP. The brain uses high levels of ATP to birth consciousness. NAD regulates energy metabolism, DNA damage repair, gene expression, and stress response. Unfortunately, NAD levels decline with age and this loss of cellular energy is believed to be a root cause for most chronic diseases.

Question 10

NEUROTRANSMITTER ENHANCEMENT IV

Jan · Accepted Answer

Your brain is estimated to have 80 to 100 billion nerve cells, which are called neurons. Each neuron has a thousand synapses (tiny spaces) that connect to thousands of other neurons. Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that jump across the synapses carrying key information that coordinates life and function in your body. Serotonin, dopamine, glutamate and acetylcholine are well known neurotransmitters but there are over 60 different types in the human brain.

Neurotransmitters sparking across synapses at lightning speed allow you to think, feel emotions, create memories, move about during your day and give you sleep when you are tired. They control your heartbeat, breathing , digestion and immune system.

Neurotransmitters are synthesized from vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

Low neurotransmitters have been associated with the following medical conditions:

Depression, Anxiety Attention deficit disorder
Attention deficit disorder Increased infections
Migraine headache Fibromyalgia
Chronic pain Insomnia
Diabetes Heart disease
Sleep apnea Impaired immune response

Question 11

ADDICTION RECOVERY  10 DAY - IV NAD

Jan · Accepted Answer

IV NAD and amino acids based on individually designed protocols are given for 10 consecutive days by our medical staff. The IV NAD and amino acids improve brain function based on higher levels of cellular energy production along with increased neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine, adrenaline and GABA. There are some withdrawal symptoms for two or three days, but they are reduced by 70 to 80% when compared to “cold turkey” withdrawal. After three to five days withdrawal symptoms and craving subside, and clarity of thought is restored.

During the 10-day program an integrative medical evaluation explores the biological basis for fatigue, anxiety, depression, reduced pain tolerance, poor focus and more. These common underlying conditions are treated which reduces the chance of relapse.

IV NAD:

variable dosages – 10 consecutive days

Question 12

HIGH DOSE VITAMIN B12   IV

Jan · Accepted Answer

Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy blood, brain, and DNA. Vitamin B 12 has the largest and most complex chemical structure of all the vitamins. It contains cobalt and is therefore also called cobalamin. Vitamin B12 is essential for the following:

Healthy red blood cells
Regenerating nerve fibers and repairing nerve damage.
Myelin production (the protective sheath that surrounds nerve fibers)
Nerve cell survival
DNA production

Vitamin B12 helps the brain and nervous system function thereby helping us to think and move. It prevents anemia and boosts protein metabolism . Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency include:

Fatigue and lack of energy
Numbness and tingling, especially in the hands and feet
Sore mouth or tongue – tongue can become red
Muscle weakness
Vision disturbances, such as double vision.
Poor memory and confusion

GLUTATHIONE DETOXIFICATION       IV push

Jan · Accepted Answer

Glutathione (GSH) is found in every cell of your body and does the following life sustaining functions:

Most important and abundant antioxidant inside all the cells of the body
Essential for the immune system to fight infections and kill cancer cells,
Essential to detoxifying chemicals and heavy metals and removing them from the body.
Essential in maintaining cellular energy (ATP) production/li>
Protects DNA and other essential body proteins because it reduces oxidative damage>
Liver has the most GSH,where it is part of the P450 detoxification pathways.
Glutathione is the major intracellular defense against mercury toxicity.
Glutathione reduces inflammation

The following conditions are associated with glutathione depletion: asthma Parkinson’s disease chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Alzheimer’s disease autoimmune diseases atherosclerosis systemic lupus and rheumatoid arthritis diabetes Schizophrenia bipolar disorder Autism cancer Chronic fatigue syndrome Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis GSH decline is associated with the ageing process and when cellular levels are fully depleted, the cell will die. Research on 33 people over 60 years old showed that those with the highest GSH levels in their blood had fewer illnesses, lower cholesterol, lower blood pressures, and healthier weights than those with lower levels.
