Part 6: First IV Treatment *Bonus Video*

Bonus addition video to my 5 part "First IV Therapy" series... Series Information:

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.

Awesome news. I saw this montel williams blender on late night tv...I guess it can make a raw soup but warm. Kinda expensive...but I though of you. Can you see color better yet? (more vibrant) No need to reply...just wait for it to happen. ☺ Its pretty neat. I love how you are including all these detail facts. It makes the whole process feel/seem less daunting if one were to have to also undertake this treatment. Everthing IS going to be VERY o.k. ~☺♫☺~ Hope you had a good nap!

It's probably the Vitamix, very popular. Runs from 300 to 500/600 depending on model and where you buy... it's one of the best investments ever. I love mine! Always nice to hear from you dear. Will I be seeing color better!? Glad I can throw in tidbits, sure beats repeative questions or ones I may miss due to abundance of well appreciated comments!!! Keeping it real my friend... maybe some Living Single ladies while in bed in a bit!

I know you don't like people saying you are an inspiration but you are a shining example of how to go about recovery. I am glad you find inner strength and strength from God to not give up. I don't want to give up either. Hugs, loves, hello kitty band aids, glitter, pretty scarves, kisses and prayers for you. I so want you to get better! I know you want the same for us too so I am working on it :) I do believe in miracles xxxx
