Q:
What is the best protocol for dissolving fat when doing Mesotherapy and how does it work? Where does the fat go?
A:
6cc Phosphatidyl choline, 3cc Aminophylline, 2cc L-Carnitine, 1cc Procaine or Lidocaine 2%. It is best to get trained in Mesotherapy before attempting to do any procedures. Phosphatidylcholine is a lipolytic product and "melts away" the fat and cellulite. The deoxycholic acid plays an important role in this process as well. No one knows exactly where the fat goes. This is the hardest question to answer, and not very many people know. Some say it is re-distributed to other areas while some say it is "drained" from the body through the blood, liver, kidney, and urine. Research is still underway about this subject.

Q:
Can Hydrogen Peroxide be used IM?
A:
Hydrogen Peroxide is for IV use only. However, Ozone can be used IM for many therapies.
Q:
What's the advantage of buying L-Glutathione for inhalation instead of just inhaling the IV preparation for injection?
A:
Looking at the l-Glutathione solutions for injection and for inhalation, the differences are mainly in preservation and safety. The actual solutions are very similar. Each of the 3 strengths for injection (60mg/ml, 100mg/ml, and 200mg/ml) is in a different vehicle to best adjust pH level for patient comfort and all are preservative-free, while each of these same 3 strengths for inhalation use Normal Saline for vehicle (standard for inhalation solutions) and a small amount of EDTA which may act to preserve the solution. The expiration date of the inhalation solution in multi-dose plastic vials is 3 months. If using the injectable solution for inhalation, the patient or caregiver must use a syringe-with-needle to transfer solution from the vial to the nebulizer cup (which could be a safety issue), and refrigerate and finish using the solution within a short time to prevent product degradation or contamination.
Our l-Glutathione for inhalation is also prepared under nitrogen to keep it stable for longer periods of time.
Q:
Why does L-Glutathione burn when injected IM?
A:
L-Glutathione is hypertonic and it will burn when injected IM. Use it IV, in a quick IV push, or inhaled.
Q:
What is Germanium 132 commonly used for and what is the 132 mean?
A:
This is an old formula that was developed many years ago by medical specialists in southern California, but because it did not fit the FDA guidelines, it was removed, along with several other important injectables, from the market until compounding pharmacy was able to provide it. It is readily available from ApothéCure.

Q:
What is CaEDTA and how is it different from EDTA?
A:
The proper terminology for the molecule is Calcium Disodium EDTA vs. just Disodium EDTA. The primary difference is the molecule shape and how the Calcium has been incorporated into the molecule in a spherical configuration which allows it to be administered via an IVP. It is available from ApothéCure in a 300mg/ml-30ml bottle. Several articles have been written about the use of this unique molecule in place of the ACAM model of Disodium EDTA. Dr. Garry Gordon is the leading proponent of this therapy. Remember that CaEDTA is just the shortened name for Calcium Disodium EDTA.
Q:
Can CaEDTA be used undiluted? Can other minerals and vitamins, normally used with the drip, be used with the CaEDTA undiluted?
A:
CaEDTA is normally used undiluted in the form of an IVP. It may also be diluted with normal large volume IV substances such a D5W, etc. Other ingredients may be added via a small bag or small IVP such a Myer’s cocktail very successfully.
Q:
Why don't you have prices for custom compounds published?
A:
Because ApothéCure sources its raw materials from over 300 different suppliers to ensure availability and best possible quality, the prices change frequently. It is best that we discuss the most recent pricing and possible monthly specials that we are offering directly to the physician's office to maximize savings. Please call or email us for pricing information.
Q:
What is the advantage of Hydroxocobalamin over Methylcobalamin over Cyannocobalamin? Why use one over the other?
A:
Cyano- is metabolized into Hydroxo- which is metabolized into Methyl- cobalamin. The advantage that we have found is that the latter tends to stay in the liver longer and only a monthly dose is needed of 5mg.
Q:
Is DHEA cream better used by the body when applied topically? How should one convert over from an oral dosage?
A:
Topical DHEA, in a liposomal delivery system, is very successful and is normally calculated on a one-to-one basis to the oral dose.
Q:
Can you mix DMPS and Glutathione in the same syringe? Are they compatible?
A:
These two ingredients are often, and very successfully, mixed together. Usually a form of Vitamin C is also included.
