BODHI BODY INGENIOUS IV'S

"Ingenious IV's" are the optimal way to administer specific nutritional mixtures to patients for both the treatment and prevention of disease. Bodhi Body has spent years of diligent investigation into the quality of ingredients, purity, mixtures, doses, administration styles, and administration rates of specific nutrients to be most safe and effective against specific conditions and diseases. The "Ingenious IV's" are a means to provide your body the support it needs for optimal functioning. Why intravenous and not oral? Many people today have numerous factors that are not supportive of the body's ability to absorb nutrition via the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small intestines, etc). Stress, chronic inflammation, age, dysbiosis (improper balance of healthy bacteria), and food additives can all decrease a person's ability to absorb oral nutrients making it difficult to bring about a physiological change in the body. The intravenous (IV) administration of nutrients bypasses digestion, absorption issues, and processing by the liver allowing the administration of precise amounts of nutrition into the circulation. This IV administration of precise amounts during precise times accomplishes the physiological changes necessary to achieve your health goals.

Intravenous (IV) Therapies Some of our Ingenious IV's

Specific IV ingredients or therapies

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant that holds the rare property of being both water and fat soluble. ALA can also assist the regulation of blood sugar levels through the optimization of insulin receptors. At Bodhi Body it is used as a treatment option with most of our diabetic, cancer, and heart disease patients.

Biological Remedies
Over the years research and observations support the theory that many human diseases are linked to or caused by the exposure to toxins, both of external and internal nature. This principle has been termed "Homotoxicology"; in other words, the study of toxins to humans. Biological remedies are typically single or combination homeopathic remedies designed to assist in the process of cellular function and detoxification. Healthy cells are necessary for optimal function and health.

Chelation
In today's world everyone is exposed to thousands of toxins including pesticides, heavy metals, and phthalates on a daily basis. Depending on doses, mixtures, and genetics the human body can store these toxins in vital tissues and bones leading to a body burden. These toxins have been linked to many conditions including cancer, heart disease, and neurological diseases. Intravenous chelation comes in multiple forms, for example CaEDTA, NaEDTA, MgEDTA, and DMPS; these can be prescribed as part of a complete program to lessen the body burden.

High Dose Vitamin C
Vitamin C is known for its anti-cancer, anti-viral, anti-histamine properties, and is necessary for collagen and neurotransmitter production in the body. With these properties high dose vitamin C therapy is used at our clinic for a number of patients to support immune function, promote a healthy stress response, shorten surgical and sports injury repair, and is part of our cancer protocol.

Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be used as a powerful oxidizing therapy to support a patient's immune system, fight infection, and to address cardiac disease. In the human body H2O2 is released from macrophages as part of the natural immune response to infections. Typically our clinic utilizes the intravenous administration of H2O2 in a number of our treatment protocols including the management of acute infections and as part of our cancer protocol. Intravenous Nutrition, "Ingenious IV's" Research and clinical experience has shown that most patients with chronic diseases require more than dietary changes and oral supplementation to dramatically improve their condition. Intravenous nutrition guarantees that the administered medications bypass barriers to absorption and penetrate deeply into cells to support efficient metabolism and promote tissue repair. Bodhi Body offers intravenous therapies to address a variety of diseases and has seen success with conditions including allergies, cancer, chronic fatigue, heart disease, and weight management.

Major Auto Hemotherapy
Major auto hemotherapy is an oxidizing therapy where a patient's blood is extracted, exposed to medical grade ozone, and reintroduced into the body. This process is known to help detoxify the body, fight infections, modulate and improve the patient's immune response through the manipulation of interleukins and cytokines, improve deficient enzyme cascades, and increase serum oxygen concentrations. Major auto hemotherapy is a main therapy used at our clinic due to the broad spectrum of beneficial effects for patients.

Phosphatidylcholine
Phosphatidylcholine is a lipid that makes up a major component of cellular membranes, is necessary for proper function and optimal health, and is a nutrient that supports myelination and brain energy production. Through dietary choices, toxic exposures, genetics, and chronic disease the body's demand for lipid supplementation varies and intravenous phosphatidylcholine is a therapy typically administered to support neurological and cardiac patients.

Examples of our Ingenious IV's
Varying with the individualities of patient cases, the ingredients, quantities, and administration times of the IV therapies will always be ordered and adjusted by the physicians.
Back to Top

Allergy-Ease:
This "eases" the allergic response with a mixture that contains natural antihistamines, immune modulators, and mucolytics to reduce the allergic symptoms of the patient. This IV is perfect to assist with seasonal allergies, food allergies, and recent toxic exposures.
Back to Top

Blood Sugar/Diabetes:
This IV contains blood sugar-supporting amino acids such as alanine, along with important vitamins and minerals necessary for improving insulin sensitivity, such as biotin and chromium.
Back to Top

Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia:
The chronic fatigue IV contains nutrients like B12, B6, carnitine, tyrosine, and other energy supportive nutrients involved in the synthesis of ATP (cellular energy) to optimize energy production and decrease fatigue.
Back to Top

Colitis and Crohn's:
Glutamine is the major amino acid to help heal the intestines, along with selective nutrients to support and enhance the process this IV may also be used to address other gastrointestinal complaints and conditions, including malabsorption, maldigestion, food allergies, IBS, and as part of a program to heal the gut after the treatment for parasites or celiac disease.
Back to Top

Exercise enhancer:
From professional athletes to the weekend warrior the exercise enhancer IV contains a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that support energy production, increase stamina, address post muscle exercise soreness, and maximize muscle repair.
Back to Top

Immunity:
Designed around high dose vitamin C and supportive vitamins, a potent extract of licorice is used to enhance antiviral effects, along with key nutrients to achieve total immunity.
Back to Top

Liver:
This IV contains nutrients to address elevations in liver enzymes, or disease states such as hepatitis. The Liver IV is equally rich in an antiviral compound found in licorice, lipotrophic factors, and detoxification enhancers.

Menopause and PMS:
Rich in the mineral magnesium and vitamin B6, this IV helps ease the transition into menopause by reducing the symptoms associated with these changes.
Back to Top

Neurological:
The focus of this IV is to support repair, decrease oxidative stress on the brain, and to support proper and healthy production of neurotransmitters.
Back to Top

Ocular Support:
Rich in trace minerals and antioxidants this IV supports eye health and has been used to improve patients' visual capacity and often to delay visual deterioration.

Pre-op and Post-op:
This therapy has been formulated to support the body's nutrient demands that occur before/after surgical procedures. Rich in amino acids and vitamin C, this intravenous mixture contains nutrients to prepare a patient for a surgical procedure, enhances tissue healing afterward, decreasing scar development, and pain medication usage.
Back to Top

Weight Loss:
Rich in the amino acid carnitine, a proven thermogenesis inducer, the weight loss IV is formulated to increase the transport of long chain fatty acids into the part of the cell (mitochondria) where they are burned for energy (ATP) and not stored as fat. This process results in a greater weight loss and more energy for our patients.
