Just wondering. My PCP wants to do it for me. I'm willing. I don't know how much he charges yet and didn't know what to expect.
Thanks!

I paid $30 a dose. My son had a PICC so no other supplies were needed. It adds up quickly.
We are now trying liposomal Gluatathione from Researched Nutritionals. Not cheap either!

I paid between $50-$75. They did work. I'd say once a week. Yes, VERY expensive. Could try NAC, the precursor to glutathione after doing a few IV's to get jumpstarted.

I go through Infuserve as well...$12.50 per dose, plus A LOT for shipping...usually $45+!
But, like faithful said, only if you already have IV access (i.e. PICC line, etc.).
Personally, though, I have spent probably close to $1,000 on this stuff and it has done nothing for me. But, then again, nothing really has... ugh...
Good luck though!

If you have a PICC or other IV access already in place, I know that Key Pharmacy in Washington state charged me around $200 for 10 pre-mixed syringes, and I could infuse on my own, at home.
If you don't have an IV already, check around with chiropractors, naturopaths, and other alternative medicine practitioners. They often offer IV glutathione, nutritional support, etc. I'd guess youd' find someone charging less than $90.
