Women's Wellness

Now more than ever, our health and wellness are at the forefront of our minds.  It is for this reason that Intravenous (IV) vitamin drips are becoming more and more popular.  Because IV vitamins are directly infused into the circulatory system, bypassing the gut, intravenous vitamin absorption and utilization is far more effective than supplements taken orally.

The first intravenous vitamin drip was pioneered in the 1960s by Dr. John Myers, who formulated the “Myers’ Cocktail” for the treatment of a wide range of clinical conditions. Today, the modified Myers’ Cocktail, which consists of combinations of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, vitamin C, and zinc, has been found effective against fibromyalgia, depression, asthma, migraines, fatigue, muscle spasm, and other disorders.

Alzheimer’s and dementia can be a difficult subject matter for any family.  Finding the right services will ensure your loved one has the treatment he or she deserves during a very challenging time.

Personal protection is as much a part of a well-rounded health plan as a proper diet, exercise, and positive energy. Being alert in your environment can boost good energy and serve as a vital warning, contributing greatly to your safety. Awareness is an often overlooked, yet critical protection skill. Awareness can assist your ability to prevent trouble.

When they say everybody needs dairy, they’re partly talking about vitamin D. According to science, this fat-soluble vitamin helps the body absorb the calcium and phosphate it needs to build and preserve bone strength.

At Prescott Complete Care, people can expect nothing short of excellence. It was founded around the philosophy of treating the whole person—to address immediate concerns and the bigger picture of a person’s health—and on the principle of excellent care and communication.

Have you or your friends or family ever had an abnormal Pap Smear, or cancer of the throat? If so, that was HPV, or Human Papillomavirus, a common family of viruses that most individuals will come into contact within their lifetime.
