fluid therapy
There are many important substances that make up our body.
In modern society, it is no longer possible to talk about health without mentioning vitamins.
Looking at the Dictionary of Life Science, it is identified as “a general term for organic compounds that are not the main nutrients of living things but are indispensable for maintaining the normal development and nutrition of living things.”
vitamin therapy
Vitamins are broadly divided into water-soluble, which dissolves in water, and fat-soluble, which dissolves in oil, or A, B, C, D, E, and K.
- Water Soluble Vitamin
Vitamins C, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B12, folic acid, and biotin are soluble in water and are excreted in urine when consumed excessively.
- Fat Soluble Vitamin
Vitamins A, D, E, and K are soluble in oil and when consumed in excess, they are stored in the liver rather than being excreted out of the body.
Vitamin C, which we often eat, is water-soluble, so there is no problem no matter how much you take. However, vitamin A, which is fat-soluble, can accumulate in the liver and cause problems.

Treatment with vitamins
Next, we will guide you through treatment using vitamins performed at Jongro Yonsei University.
- rules of vitamin therapy
Introducing the rules of vitamin treatment.
All diseases are related to nutrition. This applies to acute as well as chronic diseases, where inadequate nutrition can worsen the disease.
Vitamin treatment strengthens our body's immunity, giving us more power to overcome disease. On the other hand, drugs have a rapid therapeutic effect, but they reduce resistance to disease.
Treatment with vitamins allows for much faster healing than treatment with drugs alone, and reduces the rate of recurrence or worsening.
Large amounts of vitamins are needed to cure the disease. The amount of vitamin used at this time is the dose required for the person and indicates the degree of deficiency. So this is not a mega dose of the vitamin, but a mega deficiency of the vitamin.
In sufficient doses (intolerable doses), vitamin C can be used as an antibiotic, antihistamine, antipyretic, detoxifier, and antiviral. Sufficient capacity refers to a capacity that is greater than what we think, and is generally said to be a capacity that the intestines can tolerate.
The reason why one nutritional substance can treat many diseases is because deficiency of this substance can cause various diseases.
Vitamins can act as drugs, but drugs cannot act as vitamins
When prescribing vitamins, it is recommended to take them in divided doses according to their duration of action. This is especially true because Vit C and B are water-soluble.
- Mega Vitamin therapy
The 'Ascorbate Theory' was established as the theory of megavitamin treatment. The biochemical name of Vit C is Ascorbic Acid.
When our body gets sick, all the Vit C in our tissues is used up and we have to replenish it from the blood. This is to prevent cell damage within the tissue.
The dosage of vitamins we need varies greatly when we are healthy and when we are sick. That's why this mega betamin treatment was introduced.
This dose is more than 1000 times higher than nutritional guidelines.
- Ingredients – Megavitamins have the following ingredients: Physiological saline + Vit C
- Patients – Those who can benefit from megavitamin treatment are as follows:
- cancer patient
- RECNAC
- cardiovascular disease
- person with infectious disease
- People with allergic diseases (atopy, rhinitis)
- asthma
- people with immune diseases
- wound healing
- diabetic patient
- Chronic fatigue syndrome target addiction (Smokers, alcoholics, exercise addicts)
- People taking drugs (aspirin, estrogen, etc.)
- Cataract
- Aging

Myers Cocktail Treatment
[Myers' Cocktail therapy]
It is a treatment that involves intravenous infusion of high doses of vitamins and minerals, and was founded by John Myers, a Boltmore, Maryland, physician.

Hundreds of doctors used this treatment, which later became known as Myers' cocktail or Gaby-wright Cocktail.
- Ingredients – Myers Cocktail has the following ingredients:
Magnesium + Calcium + Vit B12 + Vit B5 + Vit B6 + Vit C
- Patient Population – Conditions that can benefit from Myers Cocktail treatment include:
Asthma, migraine, fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, cardiovascular disease, upper respiratory tract infection, seasonal allergic rhinitis, chronic urticaria, recovery from fatigue after exercise, hyperthyroidism, acute menstrual pain, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, muscle pain, tension headache.
- Mineral Therapy
This is a method of intravenous injection with trace elements, important minerals. This is a nutritional therapy that can be given to adults in a short period of time.
