For patients looking to treat a variety of common conditions without relying on pharmaceutical treatments that may cause damaging side effects, intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy may be the answer. IV therapy provides a powerful surge of nutrients not achievable with oral vitamins – in some cases providing 100 times more nutrients – and can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, from hangovers to stress. Best of all, because your body needs nutrients to survive, there are no harmful side effects.

Though it has been around for about 30 years, stem cell therapy is still a relatively new field of medicine. Because of this, and because of the nature of medical research in general, there are constantly new breakthroughs in what stem cells, and more specifically mesenchymal stem cells, can treat.
 

Stem cell therapies have been in and out of the headlines a lot in the past few decades, so much so that many people are afraid to even consider using them, because they aren’t sure where these cells come from, how they are harvested, or if they are safe. But the stem cells used in functional medicine aren’t taken from a controversial source; they’re taken right from the adult patient’s own body. Not only that, but the stem cells used in functional medicine are extracted with very little discomfort, and are very safe to use in functional medicine procedures. If you’re ready to learn more about the very fascinating way stem cells are used in functional medicine, keep reading.
