Myer’s Cocktail

Hydration care that was originally developed by Maryland physician Dr. John Myers and later modified, the cocktail is a solution containing a specific mixture of nutrients designed to enhance overall wellness and which many patients find extremely helpful in dealing with chronic conditions and overall wellness.

In addition to the standard saline solution used for standard intravenous (IV) hydration, the Myer’s cocktail contains a highly specific combination of nutrients including magnesium, calcium, vitamin C, and a number of important B vitamins.

It is thought to be helpful for a number of chronic and acute conditions including, but not limited to:

• Asthma
• Chronic fatigue syndrome/ordinary fatigue
• Chronic pain
• Congestive heart failure
• Severe colds and flus
• Drug withdrawal
• Fibromyalgia
• Hangovers
• Migraine headaches

Opinions differ, but getting liquids quickly into the bloodstream while bypassing the stomach can help with overall hydration. The specific mixture of nutrients is believed to strengthen the body so that it is better able to cope with a range of conditions.

That’s a highly individual matter. In some cases, as in the treatment of hangovers, it’s an as-needed treatment to deal with an acute problem. For more chronic conditions, however, many patients find that taking it on a regular basis can be highly beneficial.  Patients who obtain the treatment should discuss whether they want to take advantage of the therapy on a regular basis, and how frequent that treatment should be.
