intravenous nutrition is a service that provides nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an IV catheter. Naturopaths and functional physicians prescribe IV nutrition for many different kinds of patients including those with nutritional deficiency, iron deficiency, immune deficiency, Lyme disease, and for those who have the need to detoxify from antibiotics or substance abuse ( or overuse). IV nutrition is also an excellent tonic for improving one’s cellular health, slowing the aging process, optimizing sports performance or recovering from chronic disease. IV therapy is not currently FDA approved, however there are articles attached to this webpage that demonstrate the considerable health effects on those who have used them, as well as an unquestionable safety profile.

As a holistic nurse practitioner I recognize the need for this service to be provided locally in the midcoast. More and more people are discovering the health benefits of IV nutrition therapy and demand is on the rise. Since naturopaths are not able to provide this service due to licensing restrictions, it is my hope to utilize my nurse practitioner degree to help provide this service to those who need or want it. Many years of working as an ICU nurse has resulted in a practiced skillset at placing and managing IVs, so this is a natural fit across the board.

Nutritional therapies will now be offered out of a sweet little office at Camden Whole Health on Wednesdays from 11 to 7 pm. Therapies will include Myer’s Cocktails - a multivitamin infusion, venofer infusions for folks with anemia, high dose vitamin C for building immunity and lowering inflammation, glutatione for cellular detoxification and B12 injections. Other injections may be made available in the near future as demand becomes clear.
