PT 1 of 2: Episode 13 ~ 13th IV Treatment

Episode 13 documents my 13th Nutrient IV Therapy Treatment at San Francisco Natural Medicine with Dr. Erika Horowitz. This is a 2 Part series.

Part 1: PRE IV video topics: positive mood & energy, happiness & cherry blossoms, God's blessings, Dr. Horowitz explaining my new set nutrient dosage in relation to B vitamins, etc.

Part 2: POST IV video topics: not feeling well again due to fluid shifts/overload (I was more dehydrated and had lower electrolyte levels prior to the IV which most likely caused a radical shift in fluids and ill feelings after - the ill feeling was nothing bad and more mild but present. I note that I have been taking potassium pills for years. I MUST take them daily to prevent organ, primarily heart, failure due to CHRONIC hypokalemia. The dosage I require is HIGH and almost equal to the amount one would receive during emergency potassium drips in the ER. This is not a mild matter, keep in mind that EDs cause damage and everytime you addict you are damaging. I cared not to acknowledge this in the past and end up with a plethora of health issues in return) -- and also another emotional breakdown (I am grateful for tears, it's been years since I have been able to open up enough to cry so instead of being ashamed of them I am rejoicing and welcoming them as much as possible. I need to FEEL not numb!)... message to all those dealing with EDs or at risk, an honest heart, theraputic tears & soul speaking/cleansing, etc. PS I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I GAINED A FEW LBS FROM MY LAST WEIGHT CHECK ; ) THIS IS GREAT NEWS AND REALLY MOTIVATED ME THIS MORNING!!!

Why is the IV fluid pink?

[MyOwnStickFigure]

This is explained in Episode 12, it's because certain b vitamins were omitted that generally make it yellowish.

Love you! blessing and warm hugs from Megan

Oh dear, where on earth have you been? I can't even imagine!!!

I haven't watched many of your videos, but did you get edema and fluid overload from mal-nutrition?

Actually, Giovanni is a variation of John (Hebrew) meaning "the Lord is gracious". I was an alter boy in the Catholic church growing up. I'm Italian to. My father is from Benevento, Italy. It's behind Naples.
