Nervous System Support
“I’ve suffered from migraines for 20 years and tried everything. I got my first infusion when I felt a migraine coming on, and within 30 minutes it was gone. Not dulled gone. I now come in monthly for maintenance and my migraines have gone from weekly to maybe once every few months. This changed my life.”

From Dr. Myers' Clinic to Worldwide Wellness
In the 1960s, Baltimore physician Dr. John Myers began experimenting with intravenous nutrient therapy for patients with various chronic conditions. He developed a formula combining magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C that produced remarkable results for fatigue, migraines, asthma, fibromyalgia, and other conditions that had resisted conventional treatment.
Dr. Alan Gaby took over care of many of Dr. Myers’ patients and has since administered over 15,000 Myers’ Cocktails. He published the foundational paper in 2002, introducing it to the broader medical community and establishing the protocol used today.
Today, the Myers’ Cocktail is administered in clinics worldwide. It remains the most popular IV vitamin therapy because, simply put, it works. The formula developed over 60 years ago continues to help people feel better, faster.
Common Questions
How often should I get a Myers' Cocktail?
For wellness maintenance, monthly is typical. For acute conditions like migraines or illness recovery, weekly sessions for 3-4 weeks are often recommended. For migraine sufferers, many come at the first sign of symptoms as a rescue treatment.
How long do the benefits last?
Peak energy and effects occur 24-48 hours post-treatment and can last 1-3 weeks depending on your baseline nutritional status. With regular sessions, benefits become cumulative and longer-lasting.
Can it really stop migraines?
Many migraine sufferers have found that a Myers’ Cocktail at the first sign of symptoms can abort an attack. The magnesium relaxes blood vessels, B vitamins support nerve function, and the overall effect can stop migraines in their tracks. It’s become a go-to rescue treatment.
What does the magnesium warmth feel like?
As magnesium enters your bloodstream, you may feel a pleasant warmth spreading through your body. Some describe it as a ‘flushing’ sensation. This is normal, temporary, and actually indicates the magnesium is working. We can adjust infusion rate for comfort.
Is the Myers' Cocktail safe?
The Myers’ Cocktail has an excellent safety profile with decades of clinical use. We screen for conditions that may contraindicate treatment, including kidney disease, certain heart conditions, and G6PD deficiency. Most people tolerate it very well.
Why is this called the 'gold standard'?
Unlike newer IV formulations, the Myers’ Cocktail has decades of clinical use and published research supporting its efficacy. It addresses the most common nutrient deficiencies, has a balanced and safe formula refined over 60 years, and serves as the foundation that other specialized formulations build upon.
Can I get this if I'm coming down with something?
Absolutely—that’s one of the best times. The vitamin C and other nutrients provide nutritional support for your immune system. Many clients swear the Myers’ Cocktail shortens the duration and severity of colds and flu.
How is this different from other IV therapies you offer?
The Myers’ Cocktail is our foundational, all-purpose IV. Other formulations are specialized—Weight Reduction for metabolism, Immunity for immune support, NAD+ for cellular energy. The Myers’ provides comprehensive general wellness support and is often where we recommend starting.
Restore. Energize. Thrive.
IV therapy is administered by licensed medical professionals. While generally very safe, IV therapy carries risks including bruising, vein inflammation, infection (rare), and allergic reactions (rare).
The Myers’ Cocktail is a wellness service, not a medical treatment. While it has been used clinically for various conditions, it does not treat, cure, or diagnose any medical condition. Those with serious medical conditions should consult their physician.
Magnesium infusion may cause temporary flushing, warmth, or lowered blood pressure. These effects are typically mild and resolve quickly. Infusion rate is adjusted to minimize side effects.
Individual results vary. The effects of Myers’ Cocktail depend on your baseline nutritional status, overall health, and individual physiology. Some people respond dramatically; others more subtly.
The Myers’ Cocktail is not a substitute for medical treatment of serious conditions. If you have severe or persistent symptoms, consult a physician.
Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before receiving IV therapy.
