Myers Cocktail and IV glutathione

chlorella, yes. Its an algea powder, dark in color. Mix it with something else that provides taste.

I did the Myers cocktail twice. I got a herxheimer reaction both times. It was suppose to give me a bit of energy. I don't think it did. But I didn't do it regularly either.

"does it bind up your vitamins too?"

- I'm not sure. But to be on the safe side, I took this 3 hours from any meds or other supplements. It was hard to find a "time window" to do this some times.

Okay thanks that's good advice.

I'm allergic to b12 we think. Both the injections of cyano and methyl gave me a huge raised hot red welt at the injection site. Then when I did IV of it....my whole body was one big itchy raised red welt for like 10 days lol. So we steer clear of all Bs for right now. I take the Thorne Mediclear that has b12 in it just fine but i stopped taking the multi vitamin at the docs request so now I just take a multi mineral with iron. Wish I could do the b12 I think that would help so much with energy.

I'm thinking I took methylcobolamin sub lingual for like 6 months and was fine. So I'm wondering if it's just the injectable and IV form. Not sure. I used to take a b complex too for years and was fine.

Traveler- do you think the sub lingual is just as good?

Leah

I wonder if their is a chemical or preservative in the injectables you are allergic to?

I haven't had the Myers specifically but I have had vitamin IV's including glutathione. I always felt a little out of it afterwards and usually had a detox reaction during the infusion. The glutathione made my nose run like crazy. It was certainly pulling something out.

I recently did about a 5 week run of Glutathione IV's 2x/week. Let me preface this by saying I have a lot of clean up to do and my LLMD wanted to do a good detox before starting up any Meyers Cocktail IV's. I also have had a difficult time with overall treatment in general due to sensitivities along the way. Although the Glutathione IV's were not miraculous, the key for me was that I did not have any adverse reactions to them and did see some subtle gains. My Dr. felt it was safe to say that I had a done a decent detox and thought we should see how I would react to a Meyers Cocktail. It has set me back quite a bit. But please realize that this may not be the case for you. Although I know others have reacted as I did, many of his patients have felt benefits right away. I know this post is a few weeks old, so in the event you have had one, I would be curious and much appreciate learning how you felt afterwards and if you have yet to try it and decide to, Good Luck and again it I would appreciate any feedback you may be able to give.

Purple Tulip,

I know we are all different and respond to treatments differently, but would like to know how severe your Herx was to the Meyers Cocktail. It has really set me back and I am doing everything I can to get back to some baseline. In the meantime, I did get some relief from OMT but am still struggling. Had it just been for a couple of days and then I rebounded seeing benefits, I would be more encouraged.

Thank you both for your time.

MY LLMD TRIED BOTH. I DID NOT FEEL ANY POSITIVE RESULTS. I DONT KNOW HOW LONG UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY GET ANY. I COULDNT AFFORD TO CONTINUE MY VISITS AFTER 3 MONTHS

Leah,

Thank you for your reply!!

I am happy to hear that they have not knocked you out of the park and although you Herxed, you have seen improvement.

I was joking around with the nurse on the phone when giving them an update on how I reacted and asked if they had a watered down version. She told me after speaking to my Dr. that he could certainly cut it all back. I sensed perhaps dilute it more? Don't know, but my initial thought when reading your reply was "smart move having them stop after 1/2 a bag". I did find that I did much better the slower the IV dripped when doing the Glutathione only. Too fast a drip and I would get more of a head rush. I am on hold now. Go back in 2 weeks for more OMT and then I am thinking if I am still struggling, he and/or I may decide to do another Glutathione only IV.

I would not worry about the Vit. B right now if you are in fact seeing more energy. One baby step at a time!! And if you have an allergy to the B, then it certainly makes sense to steer clear. I know he said something to me about how the Vit. B and C can cause a Herx. I wish I knew what portion of the IV caused such a flare for me.

Perhaps we can keep one another posted. I don't expect to be doing another Meyers Cocktail anytime soon, but would like to know how you progress when ramping up and I would be happy to share the direction we take next.

I have been doing IV glutathione for almost a year. I can't afford to do it all the time but it really works for me. It has to be over 3000 mg for me to see any response. I drip SLLLLLLLOW. I take about an hour or two or else I get light headed everytime. I cannot have any alcohol preservative in my glutathione ( very common ) else I get a mega herx.

When I did the Vitamin B's added in glut I did herx. Vitamin C added never did. I have seen a lot of people at the clinics I went to actually herx from straight IV glutathione because it reduces inflammation / detoxs so well it optimizes your body.

IV glutathione does a really good job of taking the edge off my symptoms and herxes in general. I swear by them.

Elaina,

I am looking for Lyme literate Dr. in Long Island of NY as you found for your friend (a post from 2012). Can you please refer me to a good LLMD?

I tried contacting you, but you won't allow your email to be registered for contact so there is no email for you.

Thank you for anything you can do to shoot me in the direction of a LLMD in Long Island! My email is on my profile. :)

Elaina,

Just wanted to let you know I did the glutathione and the Myers cocktail last week and in the car on the way home I felt my body herxing...almost like a panic flood over my body. It calmed down but I did herx a little. I think more of a detox reaction maybe. They ran the drip for the glutathione pretty fast, so I think that had something to do with it.

I went today and they ran the drip slower and I actually felt much more relaxed afterwards. Knock on wood! I think the speed at which is goes in for our sensitive bodies definitely makes a difference. I could be wrong, but just wanted to share it with you :) hope you all are doing well!

Hi Leah

Thank you for the input and update. Often times I allow myself to feel as though I am the only one that is sensitive, so reassurance from you is helpful. I see my Dr. the end of next week and am hoping to resume the Glut IV's. I have not rallied as I expected to after the Myers Cocktail and sad to say, he put me back on ABX. :( So I plan to ask him to pick up the IV's again as I felt far better than this while on them regularly and need to keep the detox process going. I will also stress to run the drip slowly.

Jackie Moon,

Thank you as well!
