Our experience has shown that some patients require more than diet change and oral vitamins. Intravenous nutrition guarantees that critical vitamins and minerals can bypass barriers to absorption and penetrate deeply into cells to promote repair and efficient metabolism. Additionally, intravenous chelation therapy speeds heavy metal detoxification and reduces the body's free radical burden. Dr. Plateroti is a member of the American College for the Advancement of Medicine (ACAM), the world's largest group of doctors practicing chelation therapy.
I.V. Therapy was the goal Dr. Plateroti sought to attain when he began discussing the design of new innovative ways to administer targeted nutritional protocols to patients. Many holistic doctors just mix various ingredients together in an IV bag and administer them to the patient. While that practice has served many for years, the goal of the Plateroti Center was to identify what nutrients were targeted for specific conditions, how they combine together, with emphasis on patient comfort and tolerance, as well as purity and quality of ingredients. These IV's are the culmination of careful formulation, sourcing, and research and years of experience in administering IV's to many patients at the Plateroti Center.
Why intravenous and not oral?
Intravenous administration of nutrients bypasses digestion, and processing by the liver. Keep in mind that everything we swallow must first be digested and passed through the portal vein to the liver, where nutrients will be disseminated to the rest of the body. That makes it difficult to use effective enough doses to bring forth a quick physiological change. Further, intravenous therapy creates "tissue saturation", the ability to get the nutrients where we want them, directly in the circulation, where they can reach body tissues at a high doses, without loss.
