A Cocktail Party for your Body
By Robert Reppy D.O

- Are you taking a supplement?
- How do you know it ’s what your body needs?
- In winter months, do you easily catch colds and ‘flu?
- Would you like an effective immune booster?
- Are you feeling sluggish or run down?
- Would you like to feel re-energized?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, then it’s time to treat your body to its own cocktail party. The Myers Cocktail, named after the Maryland physician and its inventor, the late John Myers, M.D, is an intravenous injection of nutrients that works at many levels from immune boosting and prevention, to part of the overall treatment of chronically sick patients.

In an ideal world, we would get all the nutrients we need from our food but in reality that’s not the case and it’s not always possible to keep nutrition levels where they should be for good health and energy.

Health-conscious consumers turn increasingly to multi-vitamin tablets and certainly these can help to promote good health. However, the supplement market is a vast one and selecting a good, high quality supplement that will do the work it’s supposed to, can be difficult.

It’s also hard to know which supplement your body actually needs. Without proper testing it’s a guessing game. Nutritional requirements are as individual as fingerprints and one person’s needs may be completely different from another persons. Repeatedly taking supplements that your body doesn’t actually need can, in some cases, prove very detrimental to the body. So where can you go to find out your own individual requirements?

Cocktails in Clearwater

LifeWorks Wellness Center in Clearwater combines complementary and traditional approaches to healthcare, offering many alternative therapies for wellness. One of the most commonly-administered procedures at the clinic is the vitamin-packed Myers Cocktail which also contains calcium and magnesium. Once a patient has been tested to assess their nutritional requirement, their physician tailors the IV to their requirements with vitamins and homeopathic ingredients. That means that patients are receiving treatments specific to them and not just an off-the-shelf remedy.

Colds Hate Cocktails

Myers Cocktails;
• help maintain a healthy immune system
• bypass the digestive tract so that cells are literally flooded with nutrients.
• can be especially effective in the cold and ‘flu season
• can help people with digestive disorders whose bodies may not be absorbing nutrients properly

How Does It Work

The atmosphere at LifeWorks is very relaxing with patients sitting around in large, reclining rocking chairs whilst receiving their IVs. Depending upon the patient’s individual requirement, the number of treatments required will vary from a one-off immune booster to a longer series of treatments.

The injections are usually given 1-2 times per week and many patients with chronic conditions choose to continue the injections every 1-4 weeks or when they feel their energy waning.

While LifeWorks doesn’t guarantee you will never catch another cold, Myers Cocktails have made a difference to a lot of people’s health and they could do the same for you! Call 727-466-6789 to make an appointment or for more information, or visit us on-line at - www.LifeWorksWellnessCenter.com

Quotes

“ My job involves a lot of travel by plane and I used to find I was constantly coming down with colds after a trip. I happened to mention this on my last visit to LifeWorks and they suggested that I boost my immune system with a Myers Cocktail. I recently had to attend a convention in Arizona, which meant travel by plane and then 3 long days in a convention center. The day I left, I went to LifeWorks and had an IV. I felt the immediate energy boost and more importantly, I got through the whole trip and home again without any sign of a cold. Having a Myers Cocktail is now an important part of my pre-trip planning!” AD

“The day I visited LifeWorks for my annual Well Woman check was just before Christmas and everyone in my house had a cold. I told my physician that I was feeling very low on energy as I had so many preparations to do. She immediately suggested I have a Myers Cocktail to boost my immunity and to re-energize me. The next day, I woke up feeling more energized than I can remember and I ran around shopping and baking all day. I was the only one in my household to have a cold-free Christmas and now my whole family gets Myers Cocktails throughout the year.” CP

“My husband was the ‘ignore it and just push through any discomfort’ kind of guy and baulked at taking any supplements.  As a result, he got very ill.  He ended up doing 3 Myers a week for a month.  He felt so good after the first one, that he happily got up early for each appointment and trotted off to the IV room with no nagging.  It was so good so see his health improve with good nutrition.  Thanks LifeWorks!"
