At the Blatman Health and Wellness Center, we offer several different intravenous therapies. Some of these we consider wellness IVs – safe, nutrient-filled solutions that can give your body a boost back to health and balance. For these wellness IVs, we have a streamlined path to treatment; you will see our nurse practitioner and go right to your first treatment, all in the same appointment.
There are several types of IVs we offer at our wellness clinic. These include:
Myers’ Cocktail IV Therapy for Recovery & Overall Support
This is a blend of vitamins and minerals considered essential to the human body and at appropriate levels help the body perform hundreds of roles. Myers’ cocktail IV treatments can help with immune building, gastric upset and hangovers. Utilized by holistic health doctors for several decades, Myers’ cocktails are a suspension of:
- B vitamins: A potent complex of B vitamins fuels your body’s cells to break down carbs and fat into amino acids while sending energy-boosting nutrients and oxygen throughout the body.
- Calcium: Besides encouraging healthy bones, calcium plays an important role in muscle and nerve function, and aids in regulating sinus rhythm (read: pace of your heartbeats).
- Magnesium: This mineral is important for balancing several systems in your body, supporting heart health, blood sugar, muscle and nerve function, blood pressure, and more.
- Vitamin C: A powerful dose of vitamin C supports immune function by protecting your body against toxic materials encountered in the environment and things like processed foods and second-hand tobacco smoke. Vitamin C is known to scavenge free radicals.
Lactated Ringer’s, Quench & Saline IV Solutions for Hydration
Dehydration takes a toll on your body – from your skin to your blood pressure to your kidneys. Wellness IVs are an effective way to restore fluid volume in the body quickly and balance the body’s PH with electrolytes.
- Lactated Ringer’s is a super-hydrating solution with sodium lactate. Sodium lactate helps reduce the body’s acidity level. Intravenous treatments of lactated Ringer’s help regulate blood pressure and supports muscle strength.
- Saline is the standard IV fluid used to replace the electrolytes and water loss in a dehydrated patient, and to help to balance the patient’s PH system. A suspension of .9% salt in water, normal saline is used for hydration and energy boosting.
- The Quench IV is designed to replenish the fluids needed for optimal wellness, fighting fatigue caused by dehydration. This intravenous therapy is used for rehydrating and detoxifying your body.

Oxygen & UV Treatments for Illness Recovery
We also offer intravenous oxygen and ultraviolet light treatments. These treatments can help you heal from more serious chronic illnesses by cleansing your blood and restoring mitochondrial function so your cells can make the energy they need. They are useful also to oxygenate the body before chemotherapy treatments.
Wellness IVs & Quality of Life During Cancer
Supportive care during chemotherapy can make conventional treatment less toxic and fight the toll these treatments take on the body. By restoring fluid levels and nutrient regulation, it can speed recovery from chemo treatments, which often result in days of nausea, fatigue, headaches, and more.
High-Dose Vitamin C
A 50,000 – 70,000mg intravenous dose of this known vitamin helps you recover from chemotherapy treatment by scavenging toxic materials from your bloodstream and shoring up immune function. In clinical settings, high-dose vitamin C IV therapy has prevented tumor formation, inhibited tumor growth, and even kill cancer cells.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
This nutrient has been shown to be helpful in treating several types of cancer, with breast cancer being the most widely-explored in clinical studies. Data supports ALA’s use in cancer therapies, as it activates important neural pathways that regulate cancer cell growth, metabolism and spread. Activation of these pathways has helped with breast, colon and lung cancers.
Mistletoe Extract
Widely prescribed for cancer patients across Europe for two decades, mistletoe is administered intravenously and by sub-cutaneous injection. This treatment is used alongside conventional cancer treatment, and has demonstrated anti-tumor properties, immune-boosting functions, symptom relief from chemo, and has even increased survival rate in pancreatic cancer patients.
