 In the United States, a whopping 92% of the population is nutrient deficient. It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, rich or poor. Or even if you eat a “healthy” diet. This epidemic affects almost everyone. A key reason is the sheer amount of ultra processed foods Americans eat. But the problem goes deeper than that.Nutrition Deficiencies Affecting Almost All AmericansAccording to gov’t statistics, the percentage of Americans suffering from nutrition deficiencies is startling. Based on what I see in my practice, I believe the numbers are even higher…Potassium – 98% are deficientVitamin K – 97% are deficientOmega-3s – 80% are deficientVitamin E – 84% are deficientVitamin D – 66% are deficientMagnesium – 64% are deficientVitamin C – 43% are deficientIron – 30% are deficientSource: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).And in this case, I mean that literally. You see, every day, you’re being robbed of the lifesaving nutrients you need. Big Agra’s focus is on reaping the maximum number of crops at the cheapest cost. Nutrition has nothing to do with it. The U.S. Congress knew there was a problem back in 1936 – nearly 90 years ago. That’s when a group of doctors introduced Document No. 264 to the floor of the United States Senate. It was a dire warning that the mineral content of the soil was eroding. Vegetables were losing their power, and people were at risk. Unfortunately, Congress did nothing. So today, we’re feeling the effects… For instance, just look at the nutritional values for various foods today compared to 1975. Here’s a small sample of the loss of vitamins and minerals:Apples: Iron is down 40%, vitamin A is down 41% Banana: Iron is down 56%, vitamin A is down 57%, calcium is down 25% Broccoli: Calcium and vitamin A are down 50% Cauliflower: Vitamin A is down 68%, vitamin C is down 45%, vitamin B1 is down 48%, and vitamin B2 is down 47% Collard greens: Iron is down 81%, vitamin c is down 62%, potassium is down 60%, and magnesium is down 85% Strawberries: Vitamin A is down 67%, iron is down 62%, calcium is down 33% Watercress: Calcium in down 21%, iron is down 88%, vitamin C is down 46%Even the USDA – who almost never admits negative information – acknowledges that nutrient levels have fallen by 80% in the last 30 years.1 For example, you’d have to eat 10 servings of certain foods to get the same level of nutrients from just one serving about 50 years ago.2Put More Nutrition In Your BodyAt the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I help my patients overcome these health-robbing deficits using intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy. By infusing highly concentrated amounts of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into their bloodstream, I flush their system with healing agents. By sending nutrients directly into your bloodstream, like vitamin C or glutathione, you accelerate healing and sometimes even reverse hard-to-treat conditions. It’s a highly effective treatment for many deadly diseases, including cancer. In the 1970s, Nobel Prize-winning chemist Linus Pauling showed that high-dose vitamin C given intravenously was an effective cancer treatment. More recently, a 2024 study showed that high-dose vitamin C doubled the survival rate of pancreatic cancer patients when added to their chemo.3 Another important study showed that patients with advanced cancer had unexpectedly long survival times after receiving high-dose IV vitamin C therapy.4 But I’ve had success with more than vitamin C IV treatment. Magnesium IV therapy is effective in combating heart problems and respiratory issues. And it also stops acute asthma attacks.5 Concentrated IV doses of magnesium also improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar in diabetics. And it’s an effective treatment for migraines.6 I also use glutathione, your body’s most powerful antioxidant, as an IV therapy to help cleanse your body of toxins. Exposure to mercury and other chemicals can deplete your body’s store of glutathione. And I’ve found many of my patients have a significant deficiency. At the Sears Institute, I offer patients a full slate of high-dose – customized – IV treatments to quickly boost immune function, raise energy levels and treat a variety of age-related health problems. These individualized blends are a great way to:Support a healthy inflammatory responseSupport circulation and overall cardiovascular wellnessPromote healthy muscle function and physical performanceSupport comfort and overall physical well-beingProvide nutrients important for energy metabolism and mental performanceMaintain normal breathing and lung healthFor more information about any of these therapies, please call my staff at 561-785-7852.
