I saw a “health IV” facility last month when my husband and I were eating out; it was in the same building as the restaurant. Prices started at $150 for hydration and vitamins, and went up to $500 for “anti-hangover” or “jet-lag recovery” specials.
I guess you’ll never be poor underestimating the common sense of the public.
Sounds dangerous.
You might be mistaken. Actually it is medicine that is sorely lacking in understanding the ESSENTIAL (not using this word lightly) importance of vitamins and minerals in healing.
I’m not talking performance enhancement. But for people with severe illnesses, people who have been wasting or unable to eat by mouth, having the necessary vitamins and minerals delivered by IV is sometimes life or death and often strength vs weakness. A good Meyers cocktail can help someone’s own body fight the illness better. It is a CRIME that patients in hospitals are not provided with enough magnesium (and other vitamins etc) to survive and thrive from a surgery.
When I had breast cancer I did chemo on a Tuesday and then would go back to the facility on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for hydration. The hydration took almost as long as the chemo IV.
I can’t imagine doing it just because.
