Some claim this strange medical procedure provides a huge energy boost while protecting over-worked celebs from flu's, colds, and fatigue. Several doctors even promote IV nutrients as the perfect anti-aging treatment for people who can afford them. Carmen Keys is a high-level music executive who takes a 45-minute liquid vitamin infusion every week and says:
"Instead of feeling energized, you feel alive. Eating a salad, taking a nap and traditional vitamins don't compare... That would probably do four percent of what this does!"These energy-boosting cocktails are quickly growing in popularity, especially in high-end "medical spas" and anti-aging clinics on the West Coast. But many doctors and health experts warn that, in most cases, the negatives (like infection risk, high cost, etc) don't outweigh the positives. In fact, some doctors believe the great feelings people experience after a vitamin drip are almost completely due to the placebo effect.
Still, there is increasing evidence that certain types of IV vitamin therapies -- like intravenous vitamin C -- may provide some very real treatment/cure benefits, at least in cases of severe disease. And people have used B-vitamin injections for years to boost energy and vitality. So maybe there is something to this new celeb energy fad.
Or maybe it's just another stupid thing for rich people to spend their money on!! :)
