INTRAVENOUS (I.V.) THERAPY

By Dr. George M. Wolverton

We would like to tell you about a woman in the midstream of life who came to us from a city about 70 miles away to undertake treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which had been present for four years.  She brought along $14,000 worth of test results that were all normal.

We told her about a medical study of 12 people who were near death.  A standard bank of studies was done by traditional medicine on these people just before their deaths, and the results were normal. Thirty seconds after their deaths the test results were still normal, but all 12 people were dead. There are three trillion bio-chemical exchanges thought to be working in each cell of the body to keep us healthy.  The medical profession knows one thousand of those exchanges.  So it seems to me that medicine is more of an “art” than a “science.” 

We very carefully reviewed all of the test results she brought with her and agreed they were all normal. But since she had not worked in four years, it was reasonable to assume that one or more of the other remaining three trillion bio-chemical exchanges in each cell were not normal.  We explained to her that we didn’t know what was abnormal, but her immune system (the physician within) could know.

After explaining in detail what we thought caused the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, we told her we had a number of intravenous (I.V.) protocols that could help. We gave her an I.V. that contained large amounts of Vitamin C, which is deficient in the processed foods and inorganically grown produce in epidemic proportions in this country.  We also added Magnesium Sulfate, Potassium Chloride, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B Complex, Zinc and Molybdenum to the I.V.

What happened after this is almost unbelievable! After just one I.V. this patient who had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and who had not worked for four years, resumed working the following Monday.  She drove over 70 miles once a week to our office for booster I.V.’s. However, the first I.V. put her back into the business of not only “existing” on the planet earth but “living” on the planet earth to do her part in a win-win situation to make the world better because she lived.

DISCUSSION
Does this case history seem unbelievable to you?  Many such patients with diseases and health problems that have not been healed by traditional medicine have been significantly helped or healed at our office using I.V. therapy in conjunction with other integrative medicine therapies.

The analogy of a plant helps us understand this better. The leaves of a plant represent the health symptoms that people experience. However, the overall “health” of the leaves is dependent on the soil and the root system of the plant.  Traditional medicine attempts to treat the leaves.  At our office we use integrative therapies, including the best of traditional and natural medicine, to improve the soil and root systems of the plant to make them healthier.  Thus, the leaves also become healthier.

The reason the patient above became so fatigued she was not able to work for four years was that her immune system had been clobbered by 3,000 food additives in inorganically grown foods that were missing 10,000 phytonutrients. (Phytonutrients will some day be called vitamins.  Remember that vitamins are something the body cannot produce and must depend on the food chain for or the body becomes less efficient.)  The missing nutrients make the body even more susceptible to attacks from the food additives.  These attacks on the immune system resulted in a condition called the “Leaky Bowel Syndrome.

THE LEAKY BOWEL SYNDROME
One half of the immune system resides in 39 feet of bowel in what are called Pyer’s Patches. Three thousand food additives or excitotoxins, as they were named by my colleague, Dr. Russell Blalock, were acting like B.B. guns, punching holes in the liner of the entire gastrointestinal tract causing it to “leak.”  Thus, we call it the Leaky Bowel Syndrome.

When protein breakdown products called peptides go through this “leaky bowel” with a liner the size of a basketball court if it were stretched out, they are only supposed to go one at a time or single file (monopeptides).  This is not hard on “the physician within” or the immune system.  However, when there are holes in the gastrointestinal tract liner and peptides go through two at a time (dipeptides), it so deranges the immune system that it has difficulty telling the “good guys from the bad guys.  This is called “autoimmune disease.  When three or more peptides go through at a time (polypeptides), we call it poison with sudden death from eating peanuts, for example.  Snake venom is a polypeptide.

AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
Autoimmune Disease is a situation where the immune system cannot detect that certain organs are “friends” and not “bad guys” and sends in warriors called “Leukotrienes” to attack the “bad guy” organ tissue.  For example, asthma results when the immune system cannot detect that the lungs are “friends” and sends in the Leukotrienes to attack them. This same phenomenon can occur in any organ system in the body including the brain. It can cause many allergies, sinus problems, gastrointestinal problems, certain forms of arthritis, eczema, skin conditions, and a multitude of mental illnesses. 

INORGANIC FARMING
In inorganic farming the soil has been leached of the trace elements and the important nutrients in the following way:  Every spring we plant the crops and add three elements as fertilizer. Every fall we harvest the crops and take out hopefully 10,000 phytonutrients. It is quite obvious that if organic farming is not used, there is depletion of the 10,000 missing phytonutrients, resulting in people not getting the needed nutrients. In our opinion everyone needs to eat organically.

In addition, there are 3,000 food additives in the food chain to make unacceptable inorganically grown foods look good, smell good, taste good, and have a long shelf life. Sulfites are petrochemicals that are sprayed on salad bars around the country to make vegetables look fresh, green and delectable. Sulfites are poisons to the body.  Molybdenum converts “sulfites” into “sulfates, which are essential ingredients in the body to keep it functioning well and properly.

INTRAVENOUS THERAPY
Intravenous therapy can help to solve the health problems resulting from the underlying causes described above.  This is why 21st Century Medicine has such a large I.V. department and so many grateful patients come from all over to receive I.V. therapies. People come to our practice from 18 states and 10 foreign countries not just to get the I.V.’s but also to get the theory behind the need for the I.V’s.

The following I.V.’s are among those offered in this office on a daily basis.

Chelation Therapy—EDTA, a biological sponge, is added to a mixture of Vitamin C, Magnesium, and B Vitamins. This I.V. pulls out Arsenic, Mercury, Lead, Cadmium and Aluminum. Aluminum is believed to be a major contributor to Alzheimer’s Disease. The removal of toxic metals allows the immune system to help improve the circulatory and lymphatic systems.

Gaby’s Cocktail—a 10-minute I.V. used to jumpstart the immune system to handle upper respiratory infections, influenza, West Nile Virus, and so forth. Occasionally Colchicine is also included in this I.V. to aid in the healing of muscle strains and neuropathies.

Mega C with MZM4G—a mixture of nutrients with large amounts of Vitamin C.  This I.V. also includes Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B Complex, Molybdenum, Zinc, Magnesium Sulfate and a Gaby’s Cocktail. This I.V. is what was given to the patient mentioned in this newsletter.

Basic Infusion—a Mega C with MZM4G, multi-trace elements, and Selenium. This I.V. is used to replenish the body of its essential minerals after Chelation Therapy.


I am reminded of what Montaigne, the French Philosopher, said six centuries ago,  “Man Does Not Die.  He Kills Himself.”  If you want to start living better, longer, call our office for more information on I.V. therapy and our other integrative treatments.
