I had to have IV fluids I don’t think that they can cause cardiac arrest they are safe if the IV is inserted in correctly

I have had IV fluids many, many times. I've had them for dehydration, surgery, giving birth, etc. It's VERY safe. As a matter of fact, it can help prevent heart issues caused by dehydration. Why are you worried about IV fluids? I feel like if I know, I can provide a better answer for you.

IV fluids are a great medical advance. They keep people alive and healthy. I have also had they several times, and once for 7 days. I felt fine and was fine. They are a life saver. You need have no concern whatsoever.

I.V fluids are used to replace lost fluids in the body, they are mostly a saline or dextrose/ saline.

In addition, they are also used in Operations in order for extra medications in an emergency to be absorbed quickly.

There is also blood, in cases of extreme trauma, where blood loss is severe.

In certain rare cases other fluids are used, for instance in Cancer treatments, or in Kidney dialysis.

I.V fluids are always administered by Medical professionals, and as a retired nurse, I have never heard of an infusion causing a Cardiac arrest, unless it has been tampered with. A very rare occurrence.

Cheers, Midori

The drugs that are put into an iv solution can be antibiotics or whatever is approved by a physician who is providing treatment. There are side effects to medication and some of the side effects can be slight or mild but sometimes s.e. can be severe or life threatening even causing death. The risk is extremely low though.

Clinical trials have to be done and medication or modes of treatment be approved by the FDA. A patient has to be warned of possible side effects of taking medication before they take or are giving their consent before treatment though so the decision to opt out can be offered.

Chemotherapy medication can be administered by iv . Cancer can affect other organs when it spreads through to the lymph nodes and spreads through the lymphatic system or into the blood stream . Certain kinds of cancer can be very aggressive and early treatment is not always possible because the lymph nodes are so small its not easy to always feel or detect changes. Signs and symptoms can be present and not felt or maybe ignored and the cancer when detected can grow and metastases so quickly that the chemo drugs are so diluted by the time they reach the site the body has absorbed most of the medication .

The cancer the tumors can spread so quickly that the immune system is unable to get ahead of the disease.

When there is an error in the gene dna is supposed to correct the errors but when gene mutations occur diseases develop and even with biomarkers and targeted injection sites the body is fighting an uphill battle.

The bacteria or cancer cells try to drain the lymphatic liquid into ducts or l.n. but in a few cases thats not enough.

Cancer continues to be a global health challenge too. 90% of cancer deaths are from cancer metastases.

Researchers and scientists know more about cancer and other diseases than before and the dna sequencing would not have identified covid did not. Covid needed to be identified using a different test Moadl T-o-f m.s. because of gene mutations of variants and variations.

Knowing about diseases and virulence the pathology and etilogy the efficacy of one or a combination of drugs helps to treat drug resistance to therapies and pharmaceutical companies are continuing to look for new approach es and development of new or enhanced medicine.

Progress is being made.

Having a genetic predisposition along with environmental factors biology. Cancer is still on the rise.

Think of how many people you know who have battled or died from cancer. Quite a few? I understand where you are coming from and you are not alone.

It is with deep sorrow and yet hope that cancer research continues to make strides even today.

Actually seeing how cancer tumors travel through the lymphatic system using fluorescence and realizing how c spreads and how the mutation causes the cancer to kick into overdrive and keep growing Nd doesn't receive the signal to stop. It's too much for the immune system to handle. But t cell immunotherapy nutrition and understanding the inner mechanisms of cancer is helping and cancer treatment centers and hospital are rising to the challenge with wholistic treatment approaches and the search for new and recently ancient org. Will help to reactivate or resurrect org that can help with c. And other diseases.
