Flu season is rapidly approaching. Just touching a shopping cart and forgetting to wash your hands right after can put you  in bed with the flu for a week. Celebrities and athletes are visiting IV clinics to boost their immunity and speed up their recovery from illness’ like the flu. Tamiflu, which is used to treat influenza is basically useless. IV flu therapy can make you will feel like a whole new human.

The Loveland Medical Clinic offers an IV therapy specifically designed for cold and flu. The sooner you get treatment for the flu the better the IV flu drip works.  We have many drips and they are all made individually to serve a multitude of purposes. After filling out a  health history, Siegfried Emme, a nurse practitioner will get you started on your IV flu treatment. 

What are Early Flu Symptoms?

Flu usually comes on rapidly. Some people have no early flu symptoms while others experience a combination of early signs. The following are the most common early symptoms of the flu. Body aches are a hallmark of the flu. These aches are your immune system releasing virus-fighting chemicals into your bloodstream. A headache can accompany the body aches. 

Fatigue from the flu is different than your normal early morning drowsiness or a post-workout energy dip. Flu fatigue is extreme and can make something as simple as getting a glass of milk to seem like an impossible task. If you find yourself fatigued for no obvious reason, your body may be fighting off an illness.

Chills are another sign that you are fighting an infection. Your body increases its resting temperature to fend off viral invaders. Chills are intense and do not stop no matter how high you’ve turned up the heat. Chills may come with shaking which can be really bothersome.

 A scratchy throat can be a sign of a cold, throat infection, allergies, or the flu. If you have symptoms such as fever and body aches with a sore throat then it’s more likely to be the flu. A flu sore throat may come with a dry cough as well.

Typically the flu does not have gastrointestinal symptoms. If you experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea more than likely you have a GI virus. IV therapy can certainly help you rehydrated from this type of illness. 

The advantage of getting vitamins and minerals intravenously is your body gets 100 percent of them. Oral vitamins and minerals are only 30 percent absorbed. And the most important component in fighting the flu is vitamin C and your body will not let you take in very much before you start to get diarrhea. IV vitamin C can reach 10 to 100 times the blood levels of oral vitamin C. 

How IV flu therapy will make you feel

You will notice that your fever will have come down. If you were dehydrated then you will feel more hydrated and will be going to the bathroom again. The next day your symptoms will not bother you as much and you will have more energy. Each day your energy levels will increase. For a few people who waited too long to get treatment for the flu they will need to come for one more IV flu treatment to really knock it out. 

Does this work or is it a Placebo Effect?

The standard American diet is extremely poor and causes people to be low on vitamins, to begin with. IV flu therapy replaces some of these vitamins and minerals and boosts the levels in the body rapidly. As these deficiencies are corrected the body is able to fight off the virus more effectively. Other effects are that you might feel more energetic, clear-headed and notice an improvement in the texture of skin and hair. Humans are one of the only mammals to not produce their own vitamin C. Animal naturally up their production of vitamin C when they are fighting something. We humans have to do this artificially.
