IV therapies replenish essential vitamins and minerals
necessary for good health and treatment of cancer


(HealthNewsDigest.com) - IRVINE, Calif. – The Institute for Progressive Medicine (IPM), [http://www.iprogressivemed.com], a revolutionary medical clinic that focuses on safe, natural and alternative treatments in combination with traditional medical treatments, announced today the clinic’s IV Therapies, including their most popular therapy – the Immunity Drip. An Immune Drip contains high doses of superior quality vitamin C, B vitamin, magnesium, trace minerals and the antioxidant glutathione, all of which are administered intravenously for superior assimilation. A variation on the immune drip is especially helpful for patients who can use nutritional support while undergoing treatment for cancer.

Intravenous therapies can offer enormous health benefits. The Institute for Progressive Medicine has a newly renovated intravenous therapy department where IV treatments are administered in a comfortable and relaxing setting by certified nurses with many years of experience. IPM’s practice has administered over 20,000 infusions to patients with diverse health problems. Treatment times range from ten minutes for simple IV pushes to a few hours for specialized IV therapies. Immune Drips, specifically, are used to support individuals with:

Viral infections including colds and flu
Respiratory infections including bronchitis and pneumonia
Shingles
Mononucleosis
Lyme disease
Fatigue and fibromyalgia
Stress
Chronic illnesses of many kinds causing physical debility
Immune support prior to stressful situations, including travel
Pre and Postoperative support
Improved sense of well-being and energy
Cancer (including individuals undergoing radiation or chemotherapy.)

“We have employed intravenous vitamin C for the support of patients undergoing cancer therapy for years,” said Dr. Allan E. Sosin, M.D., founder and medical director of the Institute for Progressive Medicine. “Blood levels attained through intravenous infusion are far higher than can be achieved with oral administration. Vitamin C appears to be toxic to cancer cells through the production of hydrogen peroxide, while normal cells are able to inactivate hydrogen peroxide and are therefore not damaged.”

Patients receiving these infusions often tolerate their cancer therapy, including radiation and chemotherapy, much better than they would otherwise. Side effects can be fewer or less severe, and it is believed that nutritional IV infusions can enhance the effect of conventional therapies.

Other IV therapies available from the clinic include intravenous antibiotics, chelation therapy for removal of heavy metals as well as drips to support patients with diabetes, vascular disease, asthma, liver disease and hepatitis, inflammation, macular degeneration, learning and cognitive disabilities, depression and other chronic conditions.
