We know IV Therapy ;)
NAD+ IV Therapy
When you comes to NAD+ think energy and longevity.

IV NAD+
Background: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is present in all cells of the body and is a cofactor needed for the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain which is how the body produces energy (ATP Production)
NAD+ activates Sirtuin pathways and the PARP enzyme family - Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) is associated with longevity and the PARP enzyme family controls DNA repair.
Our Naturopaths consider Intravenous NAD+ in cases of fatigue as we've found oral NAD+ (NR, NMN) does not produce a pronounced boost in energy.
Case 1: Female in early 40s that has been visiting TruMed in Edmonton since 2018.
History: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis since 2009.
Treatments: Referred for Hydrocortisone and Cytomel with minimal difference despite strong potential benefit based on initial lab work. Some benefit noted from B12 shot and Dessicated Thyroid Referral.
Insufficient response to Myers Cocktail IV Therapy. Benefit noted from intramuscular PolyMVA shots.
Based on benefit from PolyMVA injections, because of overlapping mechanisms, NAD+ infusions were started.
Most substantial benefit noted from NAD+ IV Therapy.
Patient has done approximately 34 treatments of intravenous NAD+ over a three year period with approximately 4 weeks of benefit after a given NAD+ infusion.
NAD+ injections in conjunction with desiccated Thyroid appear to be the best mix of treatments for fatigue for this individual.
Summary: NAD+ IV Therapy is a therapy our Naturopathic doctors consider in the treatment of Fatigue. Many times it's tried after standard fatigue investigations (eg. Thyroid augmentation) have failed.
NAD+ IV Therapy is most frequently given 1x weekly for 4 weeks at the beginning to build levels. A given infusion of NAD+ can often produce a 2-4 week boost in energy after levels have been built up.
IV Treatment with NAD+ can be combined with Nutritional IV Therapy such as the Myers' in a single infusion for patients that noticed a more pronounced benefit from the combination.
NADH IV Therapy
Intravenous NADH is considered mainly for Chronic Fatigue & Parkinson's

IV NADH
Background: NADH is produced from NAD+ and is an electron donor in the electron transport chain. These help pump protons and ultimately ATP synthase then uses the proton gradient to form ATP.
NADH can be used both orally and in IV Therapy format for combatting fatigue and also has good data in Parkinson's (where we often stack it with IV Glutathione).
Case 1: Middle age Female with Fibromyalgia visiting our Edmonton clinic since 2021.
History: Long standing Fibromyalgia managed with Lyrica, Cymbalta and Toradol.
Our chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and autoimmune workups usually include different types of infections. Active HHV-6 infection was found and thought to be potentially etiologic.
Treatments: Before receiving test results the patient was started on Myers' Cocktail IV Therapy however, a series of four treatments had minimal effect. The patient was transitioned to NAD+ IV Therapy which also was not effective.
Once the positive infection was found, an oral anti-viral protocol was started and initially intravenous Vitamin C was suggested.
Our Naturopathic doctors have seen favorable results using Vitamin C IV Therapy in chronic viral infections however, this did not seem to impact this patient substantially.
Lastly, IV NADH was proposed because of its use in CFS which finally was able to improve this patient's long standing fatigue and muscle pain.
Summary: Intravenous NADH protocols for Parkinson's are suggested to be given every-other-day for 14 days to build up levels.
NADH IV treatments are often followed by IV Vitamin drips and Glutathione drips or pushes.
Intravenous NADH treatments directly effect the energy production pathways.
Curcumin IV
Intravenous Curcumin can be used for cancer, autoimmunity and pain.
IV Curcumin
Background: Curcumin is of course the famous yellow pigment found in turmeric root.
Curcumin has anti-oxidant, immune modulating, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects.
The oral bioavailability of curcumin is low which makes it a great candidate for use in IV treatments.
Case 1: Male with metastatic prostate cancer seeking continuation IV Therapy
History: Patient elected to not do traditional chemotherapy, rather to do Insulin Potentiated Chemotherapy (IPT) abroad in addition to numerous alternative IV Therapy treatments and hyperbaric oxygen.
Treatments: Patient had done IV Vitamin C, IV Wormwood, IV PolyMVA and IV Curcumin.
Intravenous curcumin was the preferred treatment based off of high sensitivity on chemosensitivity testing done at a lab in Greece.
Patient alternated Vitamin C and Curcumin IV Therapy over a two year period at our Edmonton office in addition to IPT done in the US with synergistic effect in management of the PSA. Some Immune IV treatments and Intravenous Lipoic Acid were used by this patient occasionally as well.
Summary: Curcumin as substance has excellent versatility - our Naturopaths use it for pain, autoimmunity and as demonstrated in integrative cancer care.
Intravenous Curcumin is frequently started at a low dose to assess tolerability. Our Naturopaths mainly use Intravenous Curcumin in Integrative Cancer care and most often it's given twice weekly.
IV Therapy with Curcumin does tend to have an extremely vein irritative effect and needs to be extremely dilute to avoid this reaction.
Because Curcumin has poor oral bioavailability we offer it in IV Therapy format at our Edmonton clinic.
IV Plaquex
Our Naturopaths proudly offer Edmonton Plaquex for phospholipid replacement
IV Plaquex
Background: Cellular membrane integrity can be maintained in part, by replacement of damaged phospholipids which are essential for the structure, and function of our cellular membranes.
Intravenous administration of Plaquex (phosphatidylcholine - the major cellular phospholipids) can help replace damaged phospholipids in our cells' membranes.
Our Naturopathic Doctors consider Intravenous Plaquex for Cardiovascular Disease, various Liver diseases, Neurodegenerative Diseases (eg. MS, Alzheimer's etc), Lyme Disease and Mold toxicity.
Case 1: Female in early 30's with Lyme Disease
History: Patient was infected in 2014 with stereotypical bullseye rash.
A seven month gap between rash and antibiotic treatment, she subsequently developed joint and neurological sequelae.
She was treated by a Lyme literate MD in the US and she came to our Edmonton office for continuation IV Therapy treatment in 2015.
Treatment: Her intravenous therapy "stack" was IV Phospholipids, followed by IV Alpha Lipoic Acid and then IV Glutathione, with alternate days of IV Glutathione treatment.
In particular, this IV Therapy regime was extremely efficacious in treatment of Lyme associated fatigue, brain fog and joint pain.
Summary: IV Therapy with Plaquex (phosphatidylcholine) replenishes cell membranes with potential use in Lyme disease as discussed above as well as Cardiovascular and Liver Disease, Mold toxicity and Neurodegenerative Disease.
Plaquex is an IV therapy that takes time to work as one is slowly replacing damaged phospholipids in cell membranes.
Plaquex is most commonly combined with Glutathione IV Therapy for Lyme, Neurodegeneration and Mold.
IV Lipoic Acid
IV Lipoic Acid for metabolic cancer care, nerve damage and more
IV Therapy: Lipoic Acid
Background: Alpha-lipoic acid is an anti-oxidant we make in our bodies that not only recycles other antioxidants but is directly involved in energy production.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is involved in the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA so it can enter the Krebs Cycle.
Lipoic Acid is only absorbed about 30% when taken orally and this is further reduced when taken with food so our Naturopathic doctors definitely prefer giving it in IV Therapy format.
When combined with LDN, intravenous Lipoic Acid has some amazing data in Pancreatic, and Kidney Cancer as well as Lung and Brain Cancer and is thought to be enhanced with Hyperbaric Oxygen.
Case 1: Female in her 60s with metastatic breast cancer.
History: Patient with breast cancer that denied standard care.
Initially went for treatment at a Mexican clinic before coming to our Edmonton office.
Spread to the bone and lung, fluid in the lung precluded large volume IV Therapy (eg. IV Vitamin C). Metabolic Cancer Treatment was chosen as the initial path of care with Intravenous Lipoic Acid as the foundational treatment.
Treatment: Lipoic Acid IV Therapy coupled with Hyperbaric Oxygen was commenced along with an oral metabolic protocol.
Patient undertook twice weekly Hyperbaric Oxygen followed by IV Therapy.
Subsequent tumor marker measurements over an 11 month period showed steady decline in the absence of any standard care.
Summary: Lipoic Acid is a strong anti-oxidant that has dramatically enhanced bioavailability when given intravenously.
Our Naturopathic Doctors strongly consider the use of Lipoic Acid IV Therapy in the metabolic treatment of Cancer.
