    You see them all over the place in big cities. Also “aestheticians” aka beautician with a certificate in injecting fillers and Botox are offering these IV things. You may not be surprised to know that NHS casualty departments are picking up the pieces from some of these “white-coat specialist” idiots.

    I've never heard of or seen such a thing in my town. Perhaps it simply isn't big enough to have a large enough potential client base. I'm not sure I would want to go somewhere like that because I only want fully trained people sticking needles in me when absolutely necessary and also want places to be clean enough not to make infection a risk.

    Don't most saline IVs just get urinated out?

    Yes, as do any excess vitamins. Pricey pee. People just want to seem like they’re having a Serious Health Treatment instead of just having a big glass of berrocca.

    Not to mention the unusual cancer and heart related deaths.

    They offer various IV cocktails. Our Naturopaths have seen many young fatigued patients with EBV or HHV-6 active viral infections, Lyme et They've got you covered.

    An IV NAD+ treatment. These IV's would go for over $1000+

    Our Naturopathic doctors have a ton of experience with NAD+ We've seen amazing results for fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, athletic performance as well as substance withdrawal in our Edmonton patients.

    Imagine being left with a 'massive boost in energy' but not being able to walk? Ugh.

    It’s amazing how many things people have seen success with, which doesn’t translate to scientifically trialled success. Fantastical, even.

    That is when they mount their old faithful steed, clinical experience, to justify it.
