More than 9.3 million Americans get infected with the influenza virus each year in the United States. On average, each year 5 to 20 percent of the United States population gets the flu. If you are struggling with a stuffy nose, fatigue, and sweating under the blankets, you know how miserable the flu can be.
Antibiotics are useless against a virus and taking them can only worsen things by killing off the “good bugs” in the gut so, once you have the flu, what can you do? Here is one patient’s experience with us:
“Recently I had the misfortune to catch a pretty nasty virus. A load of work deadlines led me to spend long stressful hours working in front of the computer neglecting proper sleep, good nutrition, and abandoning my gym and yoga routines, all resulting in a depressed immune system. It took me just one trip to the outdoor world – the touch of a handlebar – to get the virus. It hit me like a train; in a matter of hours I went from ‘okay’ to dealing with really intense body pain headache sweating and fever.”
One way to differentiate the common cold from the flu is by how rapidly and aggressively the virus make progress. You will probably notice generalized pain, a sense of malaise, and fever. She was bedridden right away.
“When sick, I usually resort to natural and homemade remedies before turning to any over the counter or prescription treatments. In this order of ideas, I was excited to try a totally natural therapeutic method that was intended to help my body in its fight against the virus: IV therapy. But does it really work?”

Intravenous therapy (IV therapy) is the quickest way to administer vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly to the bloodstream to enhance immune function and help manage a myriad of acute and chronic health problems. It has also been found to be helpful in the case of the common cold and flu, largely because different nutrients are necessary to strengthen your body’s defenses (aka your immune system).
When you take these nutrients orally in the form of food or a pill, the body only absorbs a percentage of that particular vitamin or mineral. This percentage can be even lower, for example, if you suffer from leaky gut, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, or if you have used a lot of antibiotics in the past. By using an IV infusion, we can avoid all the gut-related malabsorption issues and deliver 100 percent of each vitamin, mineral, and nutrient directly into the bloodstream.
“I visited the osteopathic center in Miami, Florida, where I was administered a cocktail of vitamins and nutrients to help me fight the virus and give my body a boost. I also received ozone and UBI therapy, two of the most advanced IV procedures. With the ozone and UBI treatments, my own blood was drawn, then infused with ozone and exposed to UBI light, then returned back to my body for a potent immune boost.”
The verdict?
“At the time of my visit, I was on the second day of being bedridden, running a fever of 103°F. I was severely congested with an annoying runny nose and scratchy throat. I was also dealing with a very dull pain in my bones (I think this is the best way to describe it) and a mild headache.
“Right after receiving the treatment my fever went down a to 100 and I was able to sleep relatively comfortably during the night. I was still congested and stuffy, but I was not experiencing the intense night sweats from the past two days that left me completely soaked and made me change pajamas several times during the night. The next day after the treatment I noticed a slight improvement in most of my symptoms, and I had a bit more of energy to get out of bed. My congestion improved, and my runny nose began to taper off. My fever disappeared but the fatigue persisted. I cleaned my sinus with a Neti pot right before bed and for the first time since I had the flu I got a good night sleep.
“Things got surprisingly better by the third day. Even though my levels of energy were quite low, most of my symptoms had diminished and I was left with a very mild cold, no more fever or bone pain, just a slight congestion. By day 4, I was fully functional, and my energy levels were back to almost normal. I was surprised at how quickly my body recovered considering that I have never experienced a bout of flu that lasted less than 8 days, and it was more incredible that I didn’t develop the much-anticipated upper respiratory infection and devilish cough that always happens right after the flu. I was armed with a plethora of herbal syrups, tinctures, and expectorants at the ready that were never used.
“My experiences with flu in the past have been more than a week of utter misery with things starting to look bearable after day 7 always followed by a low grade respiratory infection and coughing that last for several weeks. In my experience, the IV treatment cut the severity and the time of the symptoms for more than half, helping me make a speedy recovery. It might not cure the illness or stop the symptoms right away, but it definitely made a huge difference in the overall time and duration of the illness.
My recommendation? Get your IV infusion as soon as you feel the sniffles!”
