Intravenous Therapy: Vitamins/Minerals, Ozone, Chelation and More…
Dr. Devin Wilson uses IV therapy in a multitude of conditions ranging from cold/flu to various types of cancer as part of an integrative treatment plan. IV therapy can include nutrients, anti-oxidants, oxidants, minerals, chelating agents for heavy metals and atherosclerosis, ozone therapy and more. Dr. Wilson has completed numerous advanced training and certification programs in IV therapy. He provides IV therapy locally to the bay area including San Francisco, East Bay, Peninsula, South Bay.
What is nutritional IV therapy?
Nutritional intravenous (IV) therapy is an effective method to replenish the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients essential to health. Administered directly into a vein using a small needle, IV therapy bypasses the need for nutrients to be absorbed in the digestive tract, delivering them directly to your cells. This allows for rapid uptake and for higher concentrations of nutrients to be reached as compared with oral supplementation. IV therapy is effective for supporting immune function during acute illness and for cold and flu prevention. It is beneficial in times of stress and fatigue and significantly reduces symptoms of hangovers. IV therapy can also be used in the treatment of a wide variety of acute and chronic health conditions. It is particularly useful for patients that have impaired digestive function. In addition, to IV therapy, Dr. Wilson offers quick and simple “Energy Boost” and “Slim Shot” vitamin injections.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy is a novel, safe, and effective therapy that utilizes medical grade oxygen/ozone gas created by an advanced medical device in a certified doctor’s office. Ozone therapy is typically used for its tissue regenerative, immune-supportive, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, and anti-aging properties. The effects of Ozone therapy are proven, safe, and with minimal or no side effects. Ozone therapy is scientifically valid with hundreds, if not thousands of published research papers supporting its mechanisms of action, biological effects, effectiveness and safety. It is used by medical doctors and naturopathic doctors worldwide due to its numerous therapeutic properties. Ozone therapy has been used in medicine for over 80 years.
Chelation Therapy - Cardiovascular Disease & Heavy Metals
The term chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) is derived from “chelos”, the Greek word for claw. Chelation therapy is an established treatment, used in conventional medicine for removing heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc., and in the treatment of cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, etc. In addition, chelation therapy has been used in the treatment of autoimmune, neurodegenerative and other diseases. Dr. Wilson was trained by the American College for the Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) and is a certified chelation provider.
Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic are toxic to the body. High levels of these toxic metals in the body often result in a wide range of debilitating symptoms. Lead toxicity can lead to higher rates of Parkinsonism and cognitive decline in adults, and learning, and behavioral difficulties in children. Mercury exposure is associated with mood disturbances, cardiovascular conditions such as high blood pressure, infertility and immune dysfunction. Arsenic is a known carcinogen and can increase the risk for diabetes.
Phosphatidyl Choline
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a phospholipid that is chemically the same as “Lecithin”. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a major constituent of cell membranes and is critical to proper function of the cell where its major role is maintenance of the integrity of the cell membrane. PC repairs damage to cell membranes by the inflammation including free radicals, reactive oxygen species and infectious processes. The aging process also reduces PC in the cell membrane as well as the function of the cell. PC is used as a hepatoprotecant, detoxification agent, used in the treatment of hypercholesterol and atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Lyme disease, cancer, and others.
PolyMVA
“PolyMVA” is the brand name for a complex of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) bound together with Palladium and minerals and is available in oral and IV forms. PolyMVA is a redox molecule that facilitates energy transfer and metabolism at the cellular level in regards to the mitochondria function. Thus, it may be used in a wide variety of conditions. PolyMVA is not the same as ALA. PolyMVA is a complex or polymer and ALA is a single molecule. ALA is single molecule and is known as “the universal antioxidant”. It is a fatty acid in the mitochondria where it helps turn glucose into energy.
