Guest guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Sue As part of a regime it's helpfull. You need to restore blood volume and the saline on it's own AIN " T IMO going to do it. But getting the body to open up and stay that way is what the aim is -antibiotics- minerals- electrolytes.We have a lot of scar tissue and just plain burnt out circulation that won't do it on IV saline alone.You needed the saline IV's 2 years before you got sick. tony > > Hi Tony, > > > People are > > also touting how good some IV treatments may be when the IV saline > > is an absolute winner required in about 90% of patients.Building > > blood volume is so overlooked. > > My daughter had a liter of IV saline once a week for about six or eight > weeks.
