Our Naturopathic doctors frequently use IV Therapy for IBD.

By bypassing an inflamed digestive tract with IV Therapy, we are able to guarantee delivery of key substances directly into the blood.

We've seen rapid and impressive results giving IBD patients IV Therapy with regards to energy, mood, immunity and cognition, and frequently right after the first IV Therapy treatment.

Neurologic Concerns - Our clinic sees patients with Lyme, MS, Parkinson's, Traumatic Brain Injury and ALS.

We've frequently been able to find IV Therapy treatments helpful for these tricky conditions. 

For Lyme, we've used IV Therapies to improve energy and reduce issues like cognitive difficulties and pain.

For MS, infusions can be great for acute inflammation and injections can work for fatigue, cognition and in some cases spasticity and mobility.

Parkinson's and ALS are certainly challenging experience we have seen IV therapy show benefit in some for functional improvements. 

Immunity - Now more than ever it's crucially important to maximize immunity.

With IV Therapy our Naturopaths are able to deliver some of the key substances related to immune function. 

Numerous investigators, including ourselves, have noted that have reported that administration of large doses of IV injections resulted in rapid and dramatic improvements in a wide range of viral infections.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue - These are certainly tricky conditions and it's possible to see benefits with oral supplementation, however, IV Therapy can have a major role.

In our experience we've seen the most rapid and durable responses when IV Therapy is used targeting mainly the energy production centers of cells.

IV drips with a very simple composition can be effective but often require more repetition in this patient population to have a durable and sustained response.

Longevity - IV injections can deliver key substances involved in longevity.

Recently, data has emerged showing the benefit of some basic biochemical intermediates for enhancing health span and lifespan in animal models.

IV therapy is an effective way to deliver some of these intermediates as oral consumption often results in degradation of these key longevity promoting substances.

IV Therapy FAQ

Why use IV Therapy?

IV infusions allow our Naturopaths to bypass the digestive tract and facilitates 100% absorption and can create serum concentrations that are not possible when the same substances are taken orally.

What we've observed at our Edmonton office is that oral, sublingual, or intranasal administration of the same substances rarely appreciably and obviously improve fatigue, mood or cognition.

It's likely these routes of administration cannot achieve the high serum concentrations that are attainable with intravenous administration.

How does IV Therapy work?

Because of the aforementioned high serum levels attainable through injections, it can allow for more effective cellular repletion.

The large rise in the serum concentration from IV Therapy provides a window of opportunity for deficient cells to take up needed substances. As the cells are “flooded” repeatedly those levels can build. 

It appears that some patients feel better and function better when they have higher levels (cellular and blood levels).

Some explanations of the mechanisms behind IV therapy suggest that certain natural substances have been shown to exert pharmacological effects, that is, effects that are different  that their standard biochemical effects when high doses are used.

How much does a drip cost?

Average infusion prices costs between $140 and $200 on average per intravenous treatment.

How often do I need IV treatment? 

The frequency of IV infusions depends on the condition being treated as well as the IV being given.

Often times, once weekly is a common strategy initially before going to monthly injections to maintain effects.

This is very person and condition dependent. We will let you know the optimal frequency for your particular condition.

Is IV Therapy Safe? 

Yes, despite being somewhat invasive, IV Therapy is a safe and has a low risk of adverse side effects when appropriate doses and administration rates are used.

We've administered over 14 000 IV Therapy treatments and injections at our Edmonton office with an almost non existent incidence of adverse effects.

Before undergoing any IV infusion, we always review your health history and assess labs to make sure there are no contraindications to treatment. 

Doses used are adjusted to the individual needs of a given patient, and every IV therapy treatment in under medical supervision.

Who administers the IV Therapy?

Your IV Therapy will be administered by one of our IV licensed Naturopathic Doctors who have done both basic and advanced IV Therapy training in addition to their standard training as Naturopathic doctors. 

How do I prepare for my IV Treatment?

Staying hydrated the day before and day of your IV treatment is helpful to increase the appearance of your veins. Also feel free to use one of our heating pads to warm your arms right before your treatment.

Eating a snack or a small meal before your injection is also great to reduce chances of nausea or lightheadedness. 

Is IV Therapy safe for children?

Although we don't do IV Therapy in young children frequently, it is possible to do and safe to use in children with doses adjusted downwards based off of bodyweight or we may try an intramuscular injection instead of an infusion.

Can you do IV Therapy if you are pregnant?

We do a limited amount of IV Therapy in pregnancy.

In general, low doses in small drip format are safe to administer in pregnancy as well as basic rehydration.

How long do IV Treatments take?

The length of time for an IV treatment differs depending on the therapy chosen.

Our fastest drip which is deliberately given in 10-15 minutes to achieve a large serum spike.

Larger IVs can take between 60 -180 minutes depending on the doses and volume used. 

Can you create specific an IV treatment based off my individual needs?

In general, we find that our basic IV formulas are helpful for most, but our Naturopaths do offer advanced testing at our Edmonton clinic to determine if you need any additional substances in particular. 

How quickly does someone feel better after an IV Treatment?

IV therapy can give rapid results which is partly why it's so popular.

For energy, we usually see positive effects within 24 hours.

IV Therapy in Edmonton

Top Conditions for IV Therapy in 2025

Fatigue, Mood and Immunity issues are the top reasons patients seek out IV Therapy at our Edmonton office.

Let's breakdown the types of formulations we focus on at our office:

Fatigue

For fatigue we consider both small volume and large volume IV drips.

Based on the original intravenous treatment by Dr. Alan Gaby.

Our Naturopaths have essentially taken it and have maximized the main energy producing substances while maintaining the rapidly infused, highly concentrated style when considering use for energy production.

Certain substances we have added and certain ones we have increased the doses of dramatically modernize this therapy and enhance its effect.

We also have a long format IV for energy that's been popularized in the last six to seven years.

We can compliment the infusions with oral or intramuscular injection adjuncts.

Mood

For mood we consider infusing key substances necessary for healthy brain chemistry.

The IV format typically allows for a large spike in blood levels which helps drive key mood regulating substances into the brain.

Some of the IV infusion ingredients have a robust calming effect and can be helpful for anxiety, sleep and stress.

Key mood related nutrients are often deficient in North America and IV drip format allows for rapid nervous system repletion without the bowel related side effects associated with oral consumption.

Immunity

Enhancing immunity is a frequent use for IV therapy.

As part of our IV arsenal we have substances that play a role in immune function.

Short format IV Therapy is typically immune boosting.

Long format IV therapy infusions are used almost exclusively for either chronic infections or cancer.

IV therapy allows for large quantities of natural substances for immunity which often give gastrointestinal distress if taken orally.
