Monthly Special From Vitality Medical Infusions
This month we have a special offer of Glutathione with a Vitamin B12 injection. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant with multiple anti-aging properties including glowing and enhanced skin, removal of blemishes, improved acne symptoms, improved skin quality, collagen production and more. Increased glutathione interacts with melanin production, the main pigment resulting in pigmentation of the skin and darker skin tone. Melanocytes convert an amino acid called tyrosine into melanin using an enzyme called tyrosinase. Glutathione inhibits tyrosinase glycosylation and thus blocks the production of melanin and skin pigmentation.

Glutathione and Vitamin C Benefits
Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in cells. It’s comprised largely of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. Glutathione levels in the body may be reduced by a number of factors, including poor nutrition, environmental toxins, and stress. Its levels also decline with age. In addition to being produced naturally by the body, glutathione can be given intravenously. Administered with Vitamin C, Glutathione is great for skin brightening, improved appearance and complexion.

Ketamine Stops The Brain From Interpreting Pain Messages
Ketamine is the help you need now if you suffer from depression and anxiety. Read the article from: ABC Health & Wellbeing
“I’d been suffering with treatment-resistant depression for almost 10 years when I first heard about ketamine therapy. I’d tried a half-dozen antidepressants with careful guidance from my psychiatrist.
Some worked for a short time, a few months each, before their effects faded away. Some had side effects too harsh too bear: sleep interrupted by what felt like electric shocks, or a brain fog so severe it made any creative work impossible.
But ketamine, is thought to work differently to traditional antidepressants. It increases the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter in the brain’s frontal cortex.”

Ketamine Acts as ‘Switch’ in the Brain
A December 2022 Article in Penn Medicine News discusses the benefits on Ketamine and depression. Ketamine, an established anesthetic and increasingly popular antidepressant, dramatically reorganizes activity in the brain, as if a switch had been flipped on its active circuits, according to a new study by Penn Medicine researchers. In a Nature Neuroscience
“Severely depressed individuals with a history of childhood trauma may have a better likelihood of a rapid and robust response to ketamine” according to Brittany O’Brien, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

Low-dose ketamine is generally safe, well-tolerated and effective to treat clinical symptoms in children diagnosed with ADNP syndrome (also known as Helsmoortel-VanDerAa syndrome), a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the activity dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) gene

Moreover, certain antioxidants like vitamin C—and even some minerals like zinc—help protect the body against infection by strengthening the immune system.
Although IV infusions won’t PREVENT you from the possibility of getting COVID-19 you can boost your immune system and help your body be its best.

IV Infusions: The Fastest Way Possible to get Essential Nutrients in Your Body
With traditional oral supplements, nutrients must first enter your digestive system and be processed for absorption before entering the bloodstream. IV therapy cuts digestion out of the equation. Supplements delivered intravenously are immediately available for your body. There is no breakdown of nutrients, and there’s no wait time. Your body will absorb everything it needs, and anything it doesn’t is filtered out and expelled.

Ketamine Infusion Therapy Works
Have you read about the many benefits about Ketamine? Depression and pain management are being treated at Vitality Medical Infusions using Ketamine.
As a treatment for depression, ketamine therapy can:
• Reduce suicidal thoughts
• Reduce self-harming thoughts
• Reduce symptoms of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder
Ketamine infusions are known to reduce the body’s signals for inflammation and improve communication with the brain.
In addition, ketamine therapy may help your body in other ways too. For instance, some individuals might find their eating habits change during severe bouts of depression – either eating too much or not eating enough. Easing the symptoms of depression can ease these symptoms too, which means you can get back on track with following a healthy well-balanced diet.

Headline-Worthy Hangovers (and how to treat them)
10/29/18
Hangovers made the headlines of the Washington Post this week in a book review of “Hungover: The Morning After and One Man’s Quest for the Cure.” Author Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall mixes hangover anecdotes with hangover history, mingling his own personal memoir “with some of history’s most storied mornings after.” Think Noah’s inebriation after the flood combined with stories of the Greek gods over-imbibing to hangover stories of some of our gods of today – celebrities and athletes.
As long as there has been alcohol, there have been hangovers…and people seeking ways to cure them. Google “hangover treatment” or “hangover cure” and you’ll see recommendations ranging from jumping into freezing cold water to eating a greasy cheeseburger to drinking Pedialyte to drinking pickle juice (a “hangover cure” that apparently originates in Eastern Europe).
Do these actually help with hangover symptoms like headache, nausea, fatigue, dehydration, and diarrhea? What actually works?
Bishop-Stall – the intrepid reporter who went on a quest to try all of the hangover cures he could find “and explain how (and if) they work, all so rest of us don’t have to” – considered a morning-after IV vitamin drip as one of the best ways to treat a hangover.
Ketamine Vs Opioids-the fight is on!

On NPR today, there is further research into the mechanism of action of Ketamine, seems as though it also works on the same receptors as the opioids. Check out the story here.
Dehydration sends artist Pink to the hospital
8/7/18
Artist Pink was hospitalized yesterday in Australia where she was scheduled for a series of concerts. She is being treated for gastritis and dehydration. The best treatment for any viral (as in Pink’s case) or alcohol related dehydration is intravenous (IV) fluids, with a combination of minerals and vitamins as in our Myer’s cocktail! We wish Pink a speedy recovery.
Ketamine goes mainstream-on CNN!
8/4/18
Dr. Sunjay Gupta, MD, science and physician reporter for CNN just had a very interesting piece on the impact on Ketamine on depression, and suicide. You can watch the video below or on the CNN website.
Sub-anesthetic doses (lower than we anesthesia providers would use to put you to sleep) of Ketamine has been coined the greatest discovery to occur in mental health care in the last decade. We are thrilled that it is getting some mainstream attention, the more people know the more we can help!
