Vermont authorities warn IV therapy clinics ... "IV 'cocktails' marketed as treatments for hangovers and more"

2. I signed on to a medical board inquiry/complaint about those commercial "IV Nutrition" centers

opening across Colorado. Yes, they (probably DO) have a physician (somewhere, some time, supposedly) overseeing methods, procedures in general, but it appears to not include onsite presence--and it is highly questionable if there is any kind of physician-patient relationship--even in the broadest possible definition. An IV catheter is an invasive procedure and anything administered can be dangerous--even saline if it is not sterile. And heaven knows the safety/purity of whatever the hell "nutritional additives" they are choosing to inject directly into one's bloodstream or possibly other routes.

There is a place for this kind of therapy, but it needs to be a medically overseen procedure--not a fad to accompany whatever celebrity culture or some unfortunate book-writing nutritional/sports medicine GRIFTER decides.

We shall see what CO finds from their inquiries, but caveat emptor. (Buyer beware). There is little clear evidence that your only loss might be limited to $$$$. And safety is a big damned question.
