Holistic Doctor Pioneered Customized IV Therapy In Los Angeles

Joseph Sciabbarrasi, MD, or Dr. Joe, has announced that he has been providing customized IV therapy plans to the people in Los Angeles long before this has become a trend. Unlike many of the IV centers that have emerged in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, Dr. Joe has been providing customized IV treatments based on care protocols specifically designed for each individual.

Dr. Joe himself says, "If you want a great meal, you don't go to a fast food joint. So when it comes to supporting your health with IV drip therapies, it is not advisable to opt for just another chain of ‘medical spas’ offering what amounts to fast food medicine."

Dr. Joe points out that IV therapy is not merely vitamin therapy and that there are many more protocols than the Myer's Cocktail and vitamin C drips. At his West Los Angeles clinic, they offer various permutations, including glutathione, amino acid, phosphatidylcholine and other nutrient-based drips. He explains that such type of delivery system is much more effective that the usual supplementation with powders, pills, and other medicaments. This is because the nutrients go directly to the circulation and are therefore more fully absorbed and better used by the tissues that need them.

The West Los Angeles offices of Dr. Joe also provide IV therapy for ozone and hydrogen peroxide, which has been found to increase oxygen in the bloodstream. Dr. Joe explained that such drips can be helpful for general detox or dealing with an infection. Also available are IV drips for chelation with DMSA, EDTA and DMPS for the detoxification of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury. Research has also shown that ETDA chelation can be used for the treatment of heart disease, particularly in diabetics. Some studies have also found that EDTA can improve brain function, optimize nitric acid production, and stimulate mitochondrial activity.

Dr. Joe also notes that while many people use IV drip therapy to enhance their health or use it as part of an overall active and healthy lifestyle, others use this type of therapy for the treatment of long-term chronic illnesses. Clinical reports have shown that Myers' Cocktail, for example, can cause significant improvements in health conditions ranging from acute migraines and asthma to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue; chronic sinusitis and upper respiratory tract infections to hyperthyroidism and heart conditions. Meanwhile, C drips, chelation, ozone, glutathione, and phosphatidylcholine have been found to support the treatment of chronic Lyme disease. IV ozone has also been observed to be helpful in the treatment of neurological and autoimmune disorders.

The IV drip therapies offered at the West Los Angeles clinic include: vitamin C + minerals (low, medium, high, rapid dosing), EDTA, Myers' Cocktail, DMSA, DMPS, glutathione, amino acids, peroxide, ozone, herbal blend, and phosphatidylcholine. They are also able to provide several complementary injection therapies, including B complex, B12 and adrenal extracts for enhancing mental outlook/mood and energy; shark cartilage and mesenchyme for joint health; thymic peptide to enhance the immune system; and European compounded homeopathic formulas. Furthermore, the clinic offers special protocols for those who want to avoid illnesses while traveling and for chemo or radiation support while undergoing treatment for cancer.

Dr. Joe explains, "Your body is a self-regulating organism, designed to protect and sustain itself. It contains all the systems and abilities it needs to heal from injury or toxic burden. The goal of integrative medicine is to provide what your body needs to heal and to stimulate its self-healing, self-regulating abilities. Drip therapy is just one of a wide variety of treatments we provide in our West Los Angeles medical clinic that support the body in this way - treatments that can be helpful in the confronting of illness or simply taking one's current good health to a higher level, transforming good health into Radiant Health."

Dr. Joseph Sciabbarrasi has been practicing functional, holistic and integrative medicine for more than 25 years. He started exploring traditional forms of healing before entering medical schools. These include bioidentical hormone replacement, nutritional biochemistry, acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicine, meditation, Shamanic healing, and spiritual training. Dr. Joe obtained a BS in Biology with a minor in Theology at Georgetown University. He then obtained an MS in Microbiology from George Washington University, where he also got his medical degree. He completed his internship at New York Hospital and his training in traditional and alternative medicine included working with Dr. Rosalyn Bruyere, Dr. Anita Cignolini, Dr Milton Erikson, and the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy.
