IVNT (I.V. Nutrition Therapy)

IVNT is an elective, adjunctive treatment in which the vitamins, minerals, amino-acids and antioxidants are delivered by way of the intravenous, or parenteral route of administration. It allows for the delivery of high concentration of nutrients to the body tissues/cells without the 1st pass effect (liver through portal vein).

Dr. John Myer had proposed that a harmless mixture of key nutritional supplements might be given in a single intravenous infusion to literally flooding each cell in the body with nutrients to perhaps improve their performance. He used the locally available vitamins, minerals and nutrients as a cocktail first on animals and then on himself and then on informed consenting patients. His assistant Dr.Gaby further took over this practice and continued offering Myers cocktail to patients. The Myers cocktail kept on getting modified by number of Physicians world wide.
