Frequently Asked Questions

IV Infusion Drip Therapy

BSI International Clinics is a Not-For-Profit Corporation. We are dedicated to helping people through evidence-based analysis combined with nature-based therapies. This means we are on your side, here to help, not conscripted by the pharmacy and insurance industries.

Acceptance of needles varies with each person and we understand that. Our certified medical staff is highly experienced and thoroughly trained. We employ a breathing technique where the IV is inserted during the patient’s out breath, truly easing the experience.

At BSI we offer several levels of IV service. Patients can receive up to 3 grams of vitamin C, and other additives. Member patients, after deep testing and analysis, can receive much higher dose infusions. Other services are also available, based on individual needs.

We encourage an appointment if travel plans to Bali are set, because we often must book a month or two in advance. The best way to make an appointment is via email, per links listed here. Sometimes our clinics can get very busy. We suggest you make an appointment for better service. 

Testing is required for high-dose IV infusions. May we suggest you view this page for information about Membership and Deep Level Testing.

Vitamin and mineral IVs introduce fluids and essential elements directly into the body, efficiently targeting organs, ligaments, skin, the nervous system, immunities, and more. IV Infusions are high-quality, quick-delivery supplements, that serve to rapidly rehydrate and replenish nutrients, restoring the body to peak balance.

Intravenous infusions directly introduce 100% of needed vitamins and nutrients into the body. Unlike oral ingestion of nutrients, IV infusions can prevent upset stomach, and limitations digestion can cause. During conditions of illness or malnutrition, IV Therapy can introduce more appropriate and targeted nutrients and medicines, at the moment when most needed.

It’s important to differentiate Vitamin C as an oral supplement, from how it works as an IV medicine. As a medicine, inserted into veins, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) causes the body to produce glutathion and collagen, both central to tissue healing, immune boosting, and anti-aging therapies. Ascorbic acid also causes oxygenation in the blood and surrounding tissues – virus and non-beneficial bacteria cells tend to burst when vitamin C enters them, which causes them to produce hydrogen peroxide, which fills the cells, and surrounding areas, with oxygen. Most (low pH) diseases cannot live in high oxygen environments. Cancer cells and many other diseases, are highly mitigated by ascorbic acid IV therapy. The list of Vitamin C IV benefits, when used as a medicine as well as in supplementation, is very long, and we suggest further study. Be wary of non-referenced misinformation.

Everyone is different. As a general rule, the more deficient and unbalanced the system, the greater and more immediate the effect. Effects are not always immediately felt, but the therapy will soon be seen as beneficial, as the body heals and enlivens. Often more than one infusion is needed, depending on the state of health and degree of illness or depletion. IV therapies are the clinical gold standard in “flushing” the body of unwanted toxins, while achieving balance and high nutrition.

BSI offers a wide variety of IVs. Our medical personel will provide you with a thorough explanation on the therapies to help you decide on the most suitable service. Many of our patients receive wellness IVs on a weekly regimen, during healing, or in prevention of disease and aging.

BSI therapies are developed by our physicians and pharmacists. We continuously research and develop medicines in-house,  in order to improve therapies. All of the ingredients are sourced from quality suppliers, all of which are rated as ‘pharmaceutical grade’, as required by extensive licensing. BSI IVs contain only natural constituents such as electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and anti-oxidants. All BSI oral and injectable medicines are crafted from natural concentrated ingredients, and are fully licensed by the Indonesian Government.

BSI is licensed to manufacture and employ medicines and therapies outside of mainstream medicine, due to its status as a Not-For-Profit Corporation. As such we can thankfully offer medicines not available anywhere else, that tend to be more effective without producing the often toxic side-effects of mainstream medicines and practice.

The Vita Booster is an all time favorite! It is the ultimate vitamin infusion, that contains the most studied vitamin mixture created by Dr. John Meyer in the 1950s, plus the added touch of BSI’s specially formulated anti-oxidants. The Vita Booster contains Vitamin C and B-Complex for optimizing immunity, neuro-function, metabolic energy, and cell recovery. This particular formulation has been widely studied in terms of efficacy for treatment of symptoms related to multiple chronic fatigue and life debilitating disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, cancer, fibromyalgia, and dementia just to name a few.

IV is an abbreviation for ‘intravenous’. To administer an IV Infusion, a small plastic tube (catheter) is inserted into a vein using a needle that is quickly removed once the plastic tube is advanced into the vein. IV Infusions consist of 500 ml of fluid with a mixture of vitamins and anti-oxidants. The intravenous route is the fastest way to deliver fluids and vitamins throughout the body with 100 % absorption into the bloodstream. IV Infusions usually take up to 90 minutes to infuse, depending on the type of infusion.

IV infusions work by administration of vitamins and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This provides increased cell absorption and 100% bio availability of vitamins via IV infusion. However booster shots are administered via intramuscular (IM) injection so there is no digestive metabolism, which also allows for increased absorption. And with oral supplements, you only get about an average of 20% absorption after filtering through your digestive system, which clearly pales in comparison to IV infusion.

After an IV infusion, the vitamins remain in your system and maintain your levels for an average of 4-8 days.

IV treatments are administered by Board Certified Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and Physicians.

The frequency of IV Infusion therapy is determined on a patient by patient basis, we take a customized approach to suit your individual needs. For preventative health and wellness, we recommend two IV Infusions per month to help balance out any vitamin deficiencies.

In some cases, with people who suffer from advanced stages of autoimmune diseases or cancer, continued IV therapy may be necessary for nutritional support. Some patients get progressively better and after a series of treatments they no longer require ongoing weekly IV therapy, only monthly treatments to maintain balance. Other patients need regular vitamin infusions in order to help alleviate symptoms of their chronic or common medical conditions.

BSI International Clinics offers a wide variety of diagnostic tests, to better determine how often a person should be receiving treatments.

IV vitamin therapy is not a trend. IV vitamin therapy promotes new advancement in overall health and wellness. Many people are accepting the benefits of IV vitamin therapy and are aware that an individual does not need to go to a hospital to receive an IV anymore. Most also see the upside of getting nutrients and vitamins through an IV and that one does not need to ingest daily vitamin supplements to stay healthy. As we continue to promote health and wellness via our IV therapy services, the awareness surrounding the wave of preventative health is growing.
