IV Therapy FAQ How does IV therapy work?Our Naturopathic Doctors infuse natural substances directly into the blood stream. IV Therapy provides supranormal plasma concentrations in the blood. Cells are flooded with key substances needed for a number of metabolic functions. IV Therapy provides effects with natural substances that are usually much more robust than can be achieved with the same substances orally. What does IV therapy cost?Unfortunately, IV therapy can be costly. Fortunately, we do a lot of IV Therapy so we can keep costs down and doses high compared to most other clinics in Edmonton. And even better, many patients are able to receive reimbursement through their benefits for IV therapy. Do I need a consultation before trying an IV?At TruMed you need a consultation prior to doing your first IV Therapy. But don't worry, your initial IV consultation is complimentary. If you end up doing a treatment, you'll just be charged for that treatment. Where is TruMed located? Is it near me?Our Clinic is in Central Edmonton just West of Kingsway Mall - which means we provide IV Therapy Near You!! Easy access from anywhere in Edmonton. Does TruMed offer Mobile IVs?Unfortunately at this time TruMed does not do Mobile IV therapy for our Edmonton patients. We do sometimes do small privately booked Mobile IVs on a limited basis for bands visiting Edmonton. How often does someone need IV Therapy?How often someone needs IV therapy depends on what's being treated. Most commonly, our Naturopaths administer one IV drip per week for 3-4 consecutive weeks to achieve consistently enhanced cellular and blood levels. Maintenance infusions are usually every 4-6 weeks for many IV treatments. Occasionally more aggressive treatment protocols are used. How safe is IV Therapy?By using well established doses and infusion rates, IV Therapy is remarkably safe. Our Naturopathic Doctors have administered over 14 000 intravenous treatments at our Edmonton office with a remarkably low incidence of adverse effects. Moreover, our nurses and Naturopathic Doctors constantly monitor our patients during IV treatment. Interested?Give us a call

FAQ Continued I'm really bad with needles, what should I do? Come to your visit early, well hydrated, have a snack before hand and grab a heating pad to improve appearance of your veins. Your IV Therapy will be administered by one of our extensively experienced Naturopathic Doctors or nursing staff. We can recline you as well during the insertion of your IV treatment for maximum comfort. If I'm pregnant can I do IV treatments?Our office does offer a limited amount of IV treatments in pregnancy. Very commonly, we are administering fluids in pregnant patients. How long do infusions take?Shorter IVs, like the ones for energy, are usually over 15-20 minutes. Whereas, IVs for cancer or immunity can be upwards of 3-4 hours depending on the dose. As you can see, infusion times vary greatly depending what is being treated. How quickly will I feel better after IV Therapy?Infusions can give very rapid results. Most IV treatments give effects within 24 hours. For example, long format drips can frequently improve energy and clarity the same day as the treatment. Whereas energy oriented short drips frequently have "next day" effects. 5 benefits of IV Therapy#1 - AbsorptionUnlike substances taken orally, IV Therapy treatments are always absorbed 100%. Digestive side effects are not seen with IV Therapy. #2 - RapidityIn comparison to oral administration, IV Therapy often yields rapid results. In our experience, conditions such as fatigue and low mood can respond sometimes within minutes of a treatment. #3 - EffectivenessAdministration of identical substances both orally and intravenously can yield wildly different results. IV Therapy often has sharp, easily recognizable clinical end effects especially for areas such as low energy, low mood and cognitive enhancement. #4 - DurabilityTypically after a series of a few treatments patients can see weeks to months of a sustained effect. This is typical for our standard IV Therapy treatments. #5 - TolerabilityIV Therapy treatments are frequently extremely well tolerated. Minor adverse effects such as local irritation are sometimes seen but in our experience the overall incidence of adverse effects with IV Therapy is exceedingly low. IV Therapy and Hyperbaric Oxygen
The presence of sufficient oxygen is needed for production of peroxide from our high dose IVs. Some of our infusion treatments help power the energy production cycles which have down stream synergistic effect with the additional oxygen supplied by Hyperbaric Therapy. Drips can provide additional substrate for these cycles which can synergize with additional oxygen from Hyperbaric Treatment in the final steps of the electron transport chain.
