Hi all! Dr. Hassid here. Hope you are having a nice week.
As the cold and flu season is upon us, many of us are looking for ways to prevent the development of these
nasty bugs or at least shortening the duration (colds, flus, sinus infections, pneumonias…). Over the counter supplements that we carry at IRH that may have an impact on
shortening the duration of colds include zinc, vitamin D, colloidal silver, vira clear homeopathic and possibly high dose oral vitamin C. However, the amount of oral
vitamin C that our bodies can absorb from our intestines is limited to about 1 gram at a time. This only allows a small bump in serum levels.
At IRH, we have been very successful at counteracting a multitude of infections by providing moderate to high
doses of intravenous vitamin C which allows for very high serum levels that cannot be achieved through the oral route.
Typically, we would recommend an infusion 2 days in a row if possible, preferably early on in order to truly cut the infection
intensity and duration significantly, whatever that infection is. Furthermore, high dose IV vitamin C can improve energy and adrenal function as an
added bonus. We are excited to have been quite successful at managing a wide variety of medical conditions and ailments by the use of a variety
of intravenous nutrient protocols.
To learn more about intravenous vitamin C and other outstanding intravenous nutrient protocols, please call IRH at 530-758-4474 and ask
Julie or Ella. Have a great week and keep tuning in!
