TCH offers intravenous nutrients and vitamins as a safe, proven and highly effective approach to help your body's ability to heal itself.

Vitamins and minerals provide the raw materials necessary for our cells to function properly. Usually we can get the nutrients through our diet if we are conscientious of what we eat. However, sometimes even a great diet may not translate to proper nutrition at the cellular level.

There can be many causes of this which may include: poor digestion, food sensitivities, chronic inflammation, poor immune function, or any sickness. A vicious cycle ensues our cells are not healthy and they need nutrients to heal. However, the nutrients are not available because our cells are too weak to transport the vitamins and minerals to where they are needed. This scenario describes a typical situation in which intravenous vitamin (IV) therapy would be indicated.

There are numerous conditions that IV Therapy and Chelation can improve. TCH can tailor the IV protocol by varying the type and amounts of nutrients. When this is done, IV therapy can be beneficial for:

Asthma Migraines Hepatitis Fibromyalgia Muscle spasm Chronic Fatigue Upper Respiratory Infection Parkinson’s Disease Malnutrition Anti-Aging

Allergic Rhinitis Chronic Sinusitis Acute Viral Illness Herpes Outbreaks Acute Strain or Injury Coronary Artery Disease (hypertension) Detoxification (including heavy metals) Depression High Cholesterol High Blood Pressure

It can even be used periodically in healthy people to enhance overall well-being.

It is impossible orally to attain the high levels of nutrients that IV vitamins are capable of delivering. Oral vitamins and nutrients are also converted or broken down in the stomach and liver during the absorption process. High doses often cause gastrointestinal symptoms and diarrhea.

IV nutrients go directly into the bloodstream in an unaltered, safe form and very well tolerated, with minimal or no side effects. Intravenous vitamin C is especially effective in fighting viruses and cancer cells, while being completely safe for all normal cells. It is because of this characteristic that IV vitamin C is particularly useful in knocking out the viruses of the common cold, flu, and sore throat. Patients often start feeling better within hours of administration.

Immune Enhancement

Your immune system is on constant guard to protect against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. This system keeps you free of not only serious infections but also cancer and autoimmune disorders like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, in which the immune system attacks healthy cells. Unfortunately, the older we get, the harder we are hit by these immune-related conditions.

As with all disease, a number of nutrients play well-defined roles in the immune response, and chief among them are antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. For patients suffering from immune disorders or anyone who just needs an immune boost, we offer immune drip therapy. Our unique IV cocktail contains high doses of B-complex vitamins along with vitamins C, E, beta-carotene, selenium, and zinc, all of which are vital for a healthy immune system.

Glutathione Therapy for Parkinson's Disease

Our practitioners use a glutathione IV to help slow the process of nerve cell degeneration. Levels of glutathione, a naturally occurring brain-protecting antioxidant, are significantly decreased in Parkinson's patients.

For many Parkinson's patients, glutathione replenishment has proven to be an effective therapy for halting or even potentially reversing the disability. In patients who respond to this therapy, the effects can be almost immediate and dramatic. Within an hour of treatment, patients often experience reduced rigidity, fewer tremors, and improved walking ability.

Infusions for Macular Degeneration, Cataracts, and Retinopathy

Deterioration of sight is one of the most common health problems of aging. Around age sixty, the likelihood of serious ocular disorders macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy accelerates.

Fortunately, these vision problems can be slowed and even reversed in many cases. Because free radical damage is a significant contributor to these problems, antioxidants have a strong protective effect. Over the past 15 years, several studies have shown that the risk of macular degeneration, retinopathy, and cataracts can be greatly reduced using antioxidant supplementation.

We offer specialized therapies to prevent, treat, and reverse vision loss. IV administration of high doses of antioxidants, fatty acids, carotenoids, amino acids, and minerals sometimes in conjunction with chelation therapy can dramatically enhance nutrient delivery and arrest degeneration of vision.

IV Magnesium for Heart Disease, Arrhythmia, Asthma, Diabetes, and more.

In addition to increasing survival after heart attack, IV magnesium also smoothes out arrhythmias and improves outcomes in patients undergoing angioplasty with stent placement. It is also beneficial for acute asthma attacks, often working to relax airway spasms when drugs do not. Magnesium supplementation is crucial for diabetics, too, because it improves insulin sensitivity, helps blood sugar control, and reduces risk of retinopathy.

The list goes on: Magnesium can also reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches, help prevent kidney stones, boost immune function, and protect DNA from carcinogens. Magnesium can even help you sleep.

Chelation Therapy

Chelation Therapy is a treatment aimed at reducing calcium (plaque) deposits in arteries and other body parts. But it isn't just for people with arterial blockages.

The procedure involves injecting small amounts of an amino acid, EDTA, into the bloodstream via an IV. When EDTA comes into contact with the calcium in the body, it binds itself to it. Then the EDTA-calcium compound is excreted out of the body. Chelation Therapy replenishes your supply of these crucial building blocks, and has demonstrated the ability to:

• Decrease plaque deposits in arteries
• Improve exercise tolerance
• Reduce angina attacks
• Lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels
• Boost circulation
• Increase male potency
• Improve kidney function

Anyone with heart disease, diabetes, arterial blockages, sexual dysfunction, high cholesterol, or lipid problems can greatly benefit from Chelation Therapy.

Chelation Therapy is also an important adjunctive support during heavy metal detoxification. As heavy metals are mobilized from their storage sites, it is important to protect other body tissues from their toxic effects.

Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia

The fatigue, pain, and depression from chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are real, and they have a cause. More importantly, help is available. At TCH we don't just treat the symptoms of these disorders we take a comprehensive approach that has the potential to reverse these conditions, alleviating pain, increasing energy, and boosting immunity.

People suffering with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue are believed to have impaired cellular function particularly in the way muscle cells handle calcium and phosphate. This, in turn, stimulates painful contractions and muscle spasms. To address these problems, we prescribe a full regimen of therapies, including IV doses of B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C, and other nutrients proven to boost energy, improve tissue repair, and relieve stress.
