Patient’s Success: Kristin’s Story

"I wanted to take precaution of not getting COVID. 

I was feeling pretty darn great during that time.

After almost 3 years of not catching COVID... my symptoms were a stuffy nose, that was it. My recovery process was a day or two. I fully give the IVs credit.

Stella does an amazing job and this coming from someone that is terrified of needles. She does an amazing job at making you feel super comfortable.

I recommend it to all my friends and family."

Patient’s Success: Victoria M’s Story

I had been suffering with chronic fatigue, nerve pain, weight gain and hair loss. I had no “disease”, but I was unable to live my busy life due to complete exhaustion.

A series of custom IVs gave me my life back. The IVs were done as part of an overall program, but without them I am sure my healing would have taken several more months.

Thank you to the Doctors at Root Cause Medical Clinic.

Patient’s Success: Theresa V’s Story

Thank you so much for introducing me to IV therapy. When I started care I was not sleeping and having a lot of hot flashes, which in turn caused me to feel unrested in the morning. 

I've enjoyed meeting new people while getting my IVs. It has made me realize what a valuable tool in my toolbox of health these infusions are. I can say that after about the third IV, I began to have a more restful and deep sleep. This is helping me to have better energy during the day as well. 

Patient’s Success: Pam E’s Story

I wanted to let you know how much the UBVI has helped me with my Lyme symptoms.  When I first came to the clinic my brain fog and joint pains were rather debilitating.

Now I feel so much better. Honestly, I thought I would never feel good again. Thanks for helping me feel like me again!
