Part 1 of 5: First IV Treatment

You are watching a 5 part documentation of my first nutrient IV treatment therapy with my new ND, Dr. Erika Horowitz at San Francisco Natural Medicine. As of November 7th 2009 I will be going to this clinic once a week (Satrudays) to get IVs of amino acids and micronutrients that I am not able to get through diet alone due to anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and digestive/malaborption damage/distress. I will be getting a series of 10 treatments and at that point we will be doing follow up tests, weight check in, vitals, etc. to see how my first 10 treatments have helped and where to proceed. I will eventually be able to, and can't wait, meet all my nutritional needs from my raw food diet alone. I have done it in the past but then again was at a better place of health.

This series contains NUMBERS: weights, caloric intake, vitals and such. You will also see the IV line going in. I am not responsible for your triggers, you have been warned. This document is for educational purposes only. If you would like to use it for educational purposes then I ask that you ask my permission first. I will not be taking emails or multiple questions as I do not have the energy to do this and need to focus on my recovery. You get what you see in this 5 part series : )

This is NOT covered by insurance. However, we are going to try to work something out. I will keep you updated on that. Treatments cost $190 - $230 an IV - cost depends on how much IV I can tolerate per session... This is a major step in my recovery and me being serious about saving my own life. I give God all the glory for guiding me and giving me willpower to proceed. Thank you all for your support as well.

ALL COMMENTS MUST APPROVED BY ME FIRST. PLEASE BE PATIENT. All unsupportive or offensive comments will be deleted and user blocked, no exceptions.

:( :( :(( :(((((

Johny I love you and all your videos but I myself am anorexic as well, I am also 5'8 but I am 92 lbs.........it is extremely trigering

You know what? I have full info in the info box. I am not responsible for the fact that anorexia is triggering you. This video is about me getting help. If you aren;t stable enough to see that then don't watch. I will make this one public so others don't comment as such. I do not appreciate these sorts of comments nor do I find it encouraging. Please invest time getting yourself help if you are struggling and triggered in these ways, it says a lot about who is getting your power/where ur mind is

I also warn people ahead of time so it's not my fault you didn't pause it or bypass. It takes a lot of courage to post stuff like this. I find the comment offensive and will delete any other comments from other users that comment as such. I'm not sorry but after all I went through today this is not the kind of comment I find pleasing.
