Myers CocktailIV InusionWritten by Dr. JP Saleeby, MD

There is a treatment o rapid intravenous inusion contain-

ing high dose vitamins and minerals or the treatment or a

variety o ailments. It is becoming wildly popular and that

sparked my attention some years ago. There are hundreds

o physicians in this country that use it as a stand-alone

therapy or also as replacement therapy or those receiv-

ing chelation therapy. This inusion is something reerred

to as the Myers Cocktail or the Gaby-Wright Cocktail.

As ate would have it I attended a symposium in February

2001 in New York City entitled Nutritional Therapy in Medical

Practice given by non other than Dr. Alan R. Gaby. This sym-

posium was sponsored by the Beth Israel Medical Center and

St. Lukes- Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. Its ocus was

on nutritional therapies and nutritional medicine. O the ve

hundred or so in attendance rom around the country I was

hoping to bring back some real pearls o wisdom to Savannah,

GA. This most ascinating course included many lectures on

the importance o nutrition in daily lie and in treating and

preventing disease. Every lecture was supported and reer-

enced by evidence ound in the medical literature both in this

country and abroad. Alan R. Gaby, MD as well as Jonathan

V. Wright, MD are both luminaries in the ield o nutritional

/ integrative medicine and the conerence was illustrative.

Dr. Gaby would speak oten o the Myers Cocktail uses in hisclinical practice. First introduced by Dr. John Myers o Maryland

in the mid 20th century and then orgotten until it was re-intro-

duced by Drs. Gaby and Wright a decade ago, it is a mixture o

relatively high doses o ve vitamins and two minerals. Very

oten it is customized with varying doses o each agent and can

also include Adrenal cortical extract (ACE), Glyceron (an extract

rom the licorice plant named glycerrhizin, which by the way

has been shown by recent studies in the Orient as one o the

best ways to treat SARS) and Glutathione (a potent antioxidant).

It is quickly (within 30 minutes) inused through an IV and in

some patients the eects may last weeks. The theory behind

high dose and quick inusions is that these vitamins and minerals

are orced

sheer over-

l o a d a n d

a r e hence

trapped

intracellu-

larly, where

their eects last long beyond the expected short time ollowing

the slow inusion. Recently Dr. Gaby and Dr. Harry Adelson have

conducting a pilot study into the eects o the Myers Cocktail at

the Naturopathic Medical Center at the University o Bridgeport

in Bridgeport, CT. Independently, my center is also collecting

data on hundreds o inusions in my patients. The prospects

are exciting. Will the data back up the case studies and anec-

dotal claims that have been made over the decades? Double

blinded placebo controlled studies have yet to be perormed,

however, case studies speak loudly in avor o this therapy.

The treatment is recommended and has been used with

great success in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic

Depression, Fibromyalgia, Asthma (both acute lair-ups and

the chronic condition), Urticaria, Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis,

Chronic Sinusitis, Congestive Heart Failure, Ischemic Vascular

Disease, Dementia, Refex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Bronchitis,Interstitial Cystitis, Multiple Sclerosis and especially Acute Viral

and Bacterial inections. I have used this therapy to recover

people quickly rom the fu, acute Hepatitis A and B inections

and Inectious Mononucleosis. It has also be used to quicken

the recovery phase in elite athletes in training and during com-

petition. My experience with the Myers Cocktail in a variety o

orms and concentrations spans some 10-years. This therapy is

also being used post-DMSA chelation o heavy metals to replace

the good minerals and trace elements lost in this therapy. For

more inormation on the Myers Cocktail IV inusion please

make an appointment with me to discuss at WellnessOne.

Yusu M. Saleeby, MDMedical Director, WellnessOne

For more than orty years the drug named Metormin

(Glucophage manuactured by Merck, but now available generic

as the patent has expired) has been used to treat Type II diabetics

with great success. Unlike other medications used to lower bloodglucose levels, Metormin will not cause hypoglycemia because

it acts quite dierently than other classes o diabetic medication.

Observing the nearly 4 decades o Metormin use in overweight

diabetics with cardiovascular disease, hypertension and dyslipid-

emia brought to light the amazing transormation this drug has

on this group o patients with this insidious and lie-shortening

disease. Metormin happens to be one o the only drugs used to

treat type II diabetes that has an impact on reduction o death

by heart attach and stroke. While other agents raise the insulin

levels, Metormins mechanism o action work to make endog-

enous insulin levels more eective on a cellular and molecular

level by up-regulating insulin receptors. What is more, the ideal

anti-diabetic drug or type II should exhibit enhanced cellular

sensitivity to insulin (reducing insulin resistance and glucose

intolerance), inhibit excessive intestinal absorption o sugars,

reduce excessive liver production o glucose (gluconeogenesis),

promote weight loss and correct lipid abnormalities. Many unor-

tunately raise insulin levels, a condition undesirable as type II DM

has elevated insulin levels along with elevated glucose levels.

With the CDCs predictions that one o every three children

born ater 2000 will develop type II diabetes, this is certainly

a topic o paramount importance. Metormin answers the call

today as probably the most important DM II drug on the market.

Take these well documented positive nding or glucose reduc-

tion, reduction in insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome,and apply them to the non-diabetic patient. Several studies have

done just that, and a growing number o orward thinking physi-

cians are prescribing this drug as a part o their regiments or

patients over 40, with risk actors or diabetes, obesity and syn-

drome X (metabolic syndrome). It remains an FDA o-label use,

but that is not unusual or drug prescribing today. A good physi-

cian who is a patient advocate cannot wait around necessarily

or the FDA to approve drugs or certain uses. The FDA process is

unbelievably slow, ull o bureaucratic red tape and riddled with

political interventions by Big Pharma and other interest groups.

Three placebo-controlled trials using Metormin in non-diabetics

reported a reduction in asting insulin and c-peptide levels, nor-

malization o serum glucose and harmul low-density choles-

terol (LDL-C) and apo B levels. One o the three even reported

lowering o blood pressure and asting triglyceride levels. It is

shown time and again that Metormin is able to assist patients

with weight loss. Now with new biomarkers and gene making

eorts, it can be determined i a patient has the right gene that

will allow or most eective use o this drug. A blood test called

AccuType Metormin (oered by Quest Diagnostics and available

online without a prescription on eStatLabs.com or at our center)

can determine i Metormin is beneicial and eective or you.

Metormin has other uses too. It has been used to treat women

with polycystic ovary disease (Stein - Leventhal syndrome) and

inertility or menstrual irregularities. There are also studies pub-

lished in the medical literature showing Metormins activity

against cancer and enhancement o cellular immunity. Metormin

has been ound to suppress growth o some tumors and enhance

the activity o anti-cancer drugs. In one such study it reduced

the incidence o chemically induced cancer in laboratory rats.

As with all medication there are some patients who should not

take this drug and there are some side eects one should be

aware. For example, people suering rom sever liver and/

or kidney disease should not take this medication. Those with

a history o alcohol abuse should avoid this because o an

associated lactic acidosis when the two are taken together.

Additionally, people who are to take an Iodine-based intra-

venous contrast agent or special radiological examinations

need to stop the medication a couple o days prior and not

resume use or up to 3 days ollowing that type o exam. Theres an associated risk o kidney damage when Metormin being

taken when IV-iodine based dyes are used. One common side

eect is diarrhea, especially at the onset o use, loose stools are

common and dose dependent, but with time that goes away.

Finally, continuous use o Metormin will predispose a person to

vitamin B12 malabsorption. So people taking Metormin or pro-

onged lengths o time need to supplement with vitamin B12. By

and large this is a very sae drug and the benets attained rom its

use outweigh the relatively small number o untoward eects.

The multiple positive eects o this single drug (or its ability

to reduce development o diabetes, cardiovascular problems,

endocrine disorder, nephropathies, retinopathies, decreased

mmune unction and cancer, as well as weight loss) make it

a top disease preventing & longevity medication. There are

special doses recommended or the use o this medication

or prevention purposes and it is best prescribed by physi-

cians with this as their ocus o practice. It is a regular recom-

mendation in my practice as a supplement medication or

continued good health and with a simple blood test, it can

be determine eective in each patient on an individual basis.

TEAM MEMBEROF THE MONTHLysandra Oliver has spent most of her life as the new girl. Aself-described military brat, she is a native of Puerto Rico, buthas lived in Germany, Iceland, Japan, and across the AmericanSouth from west to east coast. The smile pattern she hasdrawn across the map is a permanent resident on her face aswell, and her experience getting comfortable in new situations

has served her well. She met her husband, Rich, in California,where they settled and had three beautiful girls. When herparents rental home became available, they decided to gofor broke and try out yet another new place: Myrtle Beach.

Lysandra, a bookkeeper for the past ten years, became a client atWellness One when the facility irst opened. She got to know thestaff, and loved everything about her experience. She casuallynoted to her massage therapist that her current job was notideal, and shortly thereafter received a call from owner DarinGreen, offering her work. Though Lysandra claims to be shy, sheclearly makes a lasting impression. What she loves most about

working with Wellness One is the peaceful environment. Itsliterally all about wellness. Its about looking and feeling great.
