Types of Intravenous preparations used

• Vitamin and mineral blends
• DMPS challenge for Heavy Metal Toxicity

• High Dose Vitamin C Intravenous Drip
• Intravenous Amino Acids
• Alpha Lipoic Acid

History

IV micronutrient treatment was pioneered by John Myers M.D, a physician from Baltimore.
He used a combination of magnesium chloride, calcium gluconate, thiamine, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, calcium pantothenate, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and dilute hydrochloric acid that was, later, affectionately termed the "Meyer's Cocktail."

Current formulations have been modified from the original by Dr. Alan Gaby who took over care of Dr Myers’ patients after his death in 1984.  Many physicians continue to modify the Meyer’s IV according to the individual needs of the patient.
 
Members from a wide range of national medical associations report use of IVMT, including:

• The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP)
• The American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM)
• The American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA)
• The American Academy of Pain Management (AAPM)
• International Society of Orthomolecular Medicine (ISOM)
