Vitamin IV's? Really?

A friend of mine sent me a link to a Tampa Bay, Florida based business that offers Vitamin Interveinous Therapy. It's called the HangIVer Bar,...get it? as in hanging a IV. They also offer supplements through an IM (intra-muscular injection).

There are so many things wrong with this, I don't where to start,......

Let's consider having arms looking like a pin cushion or a heroin addict after a few treatments.

How about the costs? Way too expensive and you are not getting but a small number of nutrients. Now where on the website does this HangIVer Bar tell you the amounts of nutrients you are getting. And there is nothing on the quality. If they are providing food grade supplements as opposed to pharmaceutical grade, then you may be getting doubly ripped off.

While IV is the quickest way to get electrolytes or expand blood volume following blood loss it is not the way nature intended our bodies to be nourished.

You can get a membership for $49 and save on the cost of each IV - these are the IV's they offer, their cost and what they are advertised for:
