        IV Immunonutrition Therapy

        IV Immunonutrition Therapy

        IV immunonutrition Therapy was established according to the guidelines and based on a strong scientific basis. Thousands of scientific articles have confirmed the effectiveness of IV Therapy in the management of Diseases, Antioxidant and Detoxifying effects, increase energy levels, Improve Memory and Concentration, and Improves Alzheimer’s Disease symptoms. 

        Dr. Shahid Abbas, Consultant – Allergy and Immunology at Westminster Ortho Med Clinic, Dubai along with his colleagues in the USA, started using nutrient IV therapy around 1990. So far, the results have been miraculous, and most importantly perhaps – IV therapy with micro-and macronutrients is generally considered to be one of the safest outpatient procedures. Along with Dr. Shrader, practicing in Santa Fe USA, we have administered more than 12000 IV therapies with minimal reactions only in 2 patients which were only due to the added preservatives.  

        In fact, Intravenous therapy with nutrients does not cause any adverse reactions that may be observed with the administration of intravenous antibiotics and painkillers. Additionally, nutritional products for intravenous use have been extensively refined over the last several years and are now easily available without any preservatives.

        EFFICACY OF IV IMMUNONUTRITION THERAPY

        IV immunonutrition therapy is the only delivery method that provides 100% bioavailability, directly into the bloodstream while bypassing the GI Tract for instant benefits. Using metabolic elements, the osmolarity and infusion rates of each vitamin formulation are carefully calculated. Each IV Drip provides highly concentrated combinations of vitamins based on parenteral micronutrient therapy science. IV Drips consist of all-natural bio-identical vitamins and nutrients that are naturally found in our bodies and in organic foods we consume.

        With our IV immunonutrition therapy Drips/IV Push, You Not Only Will Feel Better But will also look better.

        HOW VITAMIN AND MINERAL IV INFUSIONS BENEFIT YOUR HEALTH

        Because vitamin and mineral oral supplements require extensive assimilation and conversion processes that begin in the liver or stomach, the body does not receive the high levels of pure nutrition provided by oral Vitamin Mineral Capsules/Tablets. Oral vitamins and minerals can usually result in gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, diarrhea, and cramping.

This new working challenge during a crisis has left many of us depleted over the long term.

              For most, it affected their physical health and negatively impacted their weight as well as mental wellbeing. This demands a re-prioritization of self-care. That commute time needs to convert to wellness time. We need to take better care of ourselves moving forward, and that might entail a bit of creativity.

                  Ayurveda Medicine

                  Ayurveda Medicine Services

                  Ayurveda emphasizes good health and prevention and treatment of illness through lifestyle practices (such as massage, meditation, yoga, and dietary changes) and the use of herbal remedies. Ayurveda, or ayurvedic medicine, is a healthy-lifestyle system that people in India have used for more than 5,000 years. Ayurvedic medicine is holistic, which means viewing the body and mind as a whole. Ayurveda not only treats a person’s physical complaints but also changes lifestyle practices to help maintain or improve health.

                  Ayurveda encompasses various techniques for assessing health. The practitioner carefully evaluates key signs and symptoms of illness, especially in relation to the origin and cause of an imbalance. They also consider the patient’s suitability for various treatments. The practitioner arrives at diagnosis through direct questioning, observation, and a physical exam, as well as inference. Basic techniques such as taking the pulse, observing the tongue, eyes, and physical form; and listening to the tone of the voice are employed during an assessment.

                  Palliative and cleansing measures, when appropriate, can be used to help eliminate an imbalance along with suggestions for eliminating or managing the causes of the imbalance. Recommendations may include the implementation of lifestyle changes; starting and maintaining a suggested diet; and the use of herbs. In some cases, participating in a cleansing program, called panchakarma, is suggested to help the body rid itself of accumulated toxins to gain more benefit from the various suggested measures of treatment.

                  Services offered by our Ayurveda Specialist Doctor are:

                  • Ayurvedic Preventive treatments

It’s particularly effective for conditions like hay fever and dust mite allergies, which are common in Dubai.
