Myers Quick Facts 

Our Myers Cocktail IVs are given with high dose B12, and B-Vitamins.  

IVs are typically suggested 1x weekly for 3-4 weeks to enhance energy and mood. 

It's a quick IV - takes out 15 minutes to administer these nutrients intravenously. 

Patients often get a "booster" infusion once every 4-6 weeks. 

You can compliment the treatment with IV Glutathione given at the end.

We give a lot of IV Glutathione at our office for detoxification, inflammation, and cosmetics.

Mechanistic synergy is expected between the Myers and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Myers Cocktail - Background

In 1984, Dr. John Myers passed away and a number of his patients came to the office of Dr. Alan Gaby MD requesting the same IV nutrient injections.

Dr. Gaby concocted what he could gather was a similar IV therapy injection and began using it in his clinical practice.

The intravenous treatments our Naturopathic Doctors use are based on his original writings. 

Over the next 16 years he administered about 15 000 Myers Cocktail injections and has written about his clinical experience.

Myers Cocktail - Contents 

Originally, the Myers was done in a fairly small (20ml) syringe.

The most commonly used regimen for adults was 4 ml of magnesium, 2 ml of calcium, 1 ml each of B12, B6, B5, and B complex, 6 ml of C, and 8 ml of sterile water. 

Our Naturopathic clinic offers Edmonton a larger, stronger version of this that's evolved over 13 years.

Ours has up to double the doses of most of the B Vitamins as well as added Riboflavin (was not part of the original IV) and up to 10x the dose of B12 all in a small volume IV bag treatment. 

Myers Cocktail - What is it used for? 

Dr. Gaby found it useful for: Fatigue, Migraine, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Depression, Upper Respiratory Tract Infections, Seasonal Allergy, Narcotic Withdrawal, Chronic Hives, Athletic Performance, Hyperthyroidism and COPD. 

Our Naturopaths have verified every one of his findings in our Edmonton patients. 

Myers Cocktail - What are the side effects? 

Because of the high concentration of the IV, patients can sometimes feel some discomfort at the site of the vein.

In our thousands of administrations the overall incidence of side effects we've seen is extremely low.

The magnesium causes a distinct warming sensation and this can sometimes lead to lightheadedness if administered too rapidly.

The sensation of warm is often described as "peeing oneself" because it commonly localizes to the groin.

Myers Cocktail - How many treatments do I need? 

This first IV treatment will have an effect for typically 3-5 days.

Many patients that respond well to the Myers will feel the effect within 24 hours.

Our Naturopathic doctors usually recommend repeat treatments weekly for 4 weeks to provide a sustained effect.

Following this we usually do an IV treatment 2-3 weeks after and then monthly as a "booster" IV.

Myers Cocktail - Research 

There has been a modest amount of published data on the Myers.

Dr. Alan Gaby's monograph on the Myers is still the "bible" on the therapy - discussing numerous case reports of benefits from the Myers.

A 2007 pilot trial giving a modified Myers IV for treatment resistant Fibromyalgia over 8 weeks.

Pain levels steadily decreased with energy steadily increasing with each IV treatment (figures from the study).

A 2009 study found improved tender points, pain, depression, and quality of life from the Myers IV treatment over 8 weeks in Fibromyalgia patients.

Whereas the placebo group experienced improved tender points only.

Myers Cocktail - The Gaby case reports

The work published by Dr. Alan Gaby still remains the blueprint for the versatility of the Myers.

In his monograph he outlines case reports detailing the effect of the Myers in various clinical conditions. 

Fatigue - "Many patients with unexplained fatigue have responded to the Myers, with results lasting only a few days or as long as several months.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - "Approximately 10 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) received a minimum of four treatments (usually once weekly for four weeks), with more than half showing clear improvement.

Fibromyalgia - "The author has given the Myers to approximately 30 patients with fibromyalgia; half have experienced significant improvement, in a few cases after the first injection, but more often after three or four treatments."

Anxiety & Depression - "Many...patients with depression and/or anxiety have shown a positive response to the Myers."

As well as upper respiratory tract infections, hives, athletic performance, heart failure and angina, seasonal allergy, tension headaches, painful menses, acute migraines and COPD.
