IV Therapy Protocols for Lyme Disease

The Stram Center’s IV protocols involve a complete analysis of our patients in every aspect of their health prior to prescribing. A consultation with one of our medical providers will be required as well as specific lab testing as recommended by your practitioner prior to receiving IV treatment at the Stram Center.

Your customized therapy regimen may contain one or more of the following IV therapies:

  • IV Antibiotics: In order to treat Lyme disease effectively, in some cases, intravenous antibiotic therapy is required. This option may be explored by your practitioner for a variety of reasons including, unsuccessful oral antibiotic protocol, gastrointestinal intolerance to oral antibiotics, and/or presentation of extreme/severe symptoms. Your IV antibiotic regimen will be tailored to fit your clinical presentation and diagnosis of Lyme and other tick born diseases.
  • IV Myers (“Stram Myers”): The “Stram Myers” is a specific scientific combination of a variety of nutrients that help the body prepare and repair. The Stram Myers aids in the body’s preparation for any type of antibiotic treatment or cleanse, in that it allows the body to absorb the key nutrients that are needed in order to positively affect treatment. In terms of repair, the Stram Myers replenishes the body of any nutrients expelled during treatment, and aids in the healing process.
  • Glutathione: Glutathione is considered the body's master antioxidant and detoxifier. When given intravenously, glutathione is an extremely effective detoxifyer and aid for cell repair, which is valuable in the treatment of Lyme disease. It is considered a safe treatment, as there are no known side effects or interactions with other drugs. In fact, IV glutathione is often used in conjunction with and often enhances other treatments. IV administration significantly increases glutathione concentration in the body, quickly and effectively delivering it to target tissues. It is a key supportive unit in the treatment of Lyme disease and chronic illness in general.
  • NAD:   (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)  popularly  known as the anti-aging miracle supplement, is actually a form of niacin or Vitamin B3. It is a coenzyme needed for energy production in the mitochondria that produce ATP in all cells. As we age, mitochondrial function and NAD levels decline and therefore ATP levels start to decline. In muscles this can lead to muscle loss and muscle weakness. In nerve cells mitochondrial decline and loss of ATP has been associated with neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.    Intravenous NAD+ quickly provides your cells with the ability to produce more ATP. It may help lessen symptoms of fatigue, weakness, and low stamina and endurance. It can help to increase mental clarity and focus. IV NAD is available in multiple doses: 250mg, 500mg and 750 mg.
