Morning

Leon Granacki’s favorite outdoor scenes were of rippling Minnesota streams, towering pine trees, and flocks of Canadian geese. His watercolors were exhibited widely and sold at local art fairs from the 1970s through 1990.

An Artist Goes to War: Leon Granacki in the South Pacific WWII

Like so many others who served in World War II, Leon Granacki was an ordinary guy from a working-class immigrant family drafted into the US Army and thrust into the horrors of war in the South Pacific. But through sheer luck and pluck, he leveraged his art talents to survive and thrive, catapulting himself from private infantryman to Master Sergeant and mapmaker for General MacArthur in the Americal Division’s Intelligence section. Inspired by the Southern Cross as his troop transport crossed the equator, he designed the Americal Division patch for the Army’s only named division, created in New Caledonia. Overseas for three-and-a-half years without any stateside furlough, he labored over maps of enemy positions in a primitive tent in the steamy, mosquito-infested jungles of Guadalcanal and Bougainville.

In An Artist Goes to War, author Victoria Ann Granacki paints a portrait of her father, Leon, through his original maps, jungle watercolors, journal illustrations, scrapbook photos, and letters home to “Dear Gang”—his extended Polish American family crowded together in a Chicago “six-flat” apartment building. Despite only slyly alluding to awful conditions to evade the censors’ scissors, his indomitable optimism always comes through. The Polish-language letters directed to his beloved parents are filled with childlike tenderness as he tries to reassure them he’ll be safe. His plaintive longings for family, holidays home, fishing, and a woman to love are poignant reminders of the personal effects of war on reluctant soldiers.

Myers’ Cocktail
Myers’ Cocktail

A Myers’ cocktail is an increasingly popular intravenous therapy. The late John Myers, MD, was the first to introduce this vitamin and mineral treatment. He designed this formula to potentially treat several clinical conditions including fatigue, fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, and many more.

Although the original Myers’ cocktail may work for many ailments, healthcare providers often tailor similar treatments for their patients to meet their specific needs.

What Ingredients Are Included in a Myers’ Cocktail?

The standard Myers’ cocktail includes:

Vitamins: Vitamin C, B-Complex vitamins, Vitamin B12

Calcium: Calcium aids bone formation and strength. It also can help control irregular heartbeats.

Magnesium: Generally stored in bones, muscles, and soft tissues. It has been found to reduce fatigue, migraines, and muscle spasms and may even help those at risk of cardiovascular diseases.^[1]

Zinc: Zinc has been proven to help regulate the immune system. Zinc is not naturally created in the body. Deficiency of zinc can lead to subsequent health issues.

Glutathione: Glutathione is a potent antioxidant that naturally occurs in the body. Glutathione aids the immune system and has been found to help in the prevention of cancer, cystic fibrosis, HIV, and the normal aging process.

Saline Solution: All ingredients for the Myers’ cocktail are combined in an IV bag usually consisting of normal saline.

Other ingredients may also be included, depending on the type of infusion a patient is receiving. Although this cocktail is made with generally safe components, medical providers should consider underlying conditions when treating patients. Healthcare providers often increase, decrease, add, or exclude certain vitamins and minerals to create a focused treatment for their patient’s specific goals.

A revised formulation of the Myers’ cocktail may include:^[2]

1 mL B-Complex

5 mL Vitamin C (500 mg/mL)

5 mL Magnesium Chloride (30%)

3 mL Calcium Gluconate (10%)

1 mL Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (100 mg/mL)

1 mL Dexpanthenol (250 mg/mL)

0.5 mL Hydroxocobalamin (2,000 mcg/mL)

A common booster used to accompany IV infusions is a potent antioxidant, glutathione. Glutathione may aid in disease prevention, immune function and energy levels.

Who Needs a Myers’ Cocktail?

When asked who should consider a Myers’ cocktail infusion, there is no single answer. Because of the high dose of antioxidants, nutrients, and other immune-boosting factors, individuals who have weakened immune systems or diseases that negatively impact immune resilience may benefit from receiving a Myers’ cocktail IV treatment.

Studies have found the Myers’ cocktail may be benefit patients who:

Suffer from low energy

Perform athletic exercises

Suffer from chronic fatigue

Require intravenous hydration

Seek relief from hangover or withdrawal symptoms^[3]

Suffer from depression or anxiety

According to Myers’ cocktail studies and reviews, since the cocktails are made of vitamins and minerals, they tend to be well tolerated by many patients. Since treatment is administered intravenously vs. passing the digestive system, higher concentrations of the vitamins are more easily absorbed and thus bioavailable to the body.

Benefits of a Myers’ Cocktail Infusion

Health benefits may come from receiving a Myers’ cocktail with for many patients.

For example, magnesium has been found to prevent or reduce asthma attacks, chronic fatigue, cardiovascular diseases, fibromyalgia, chronic sinusitis, rhinitis, upper respiratory tract infections, migraines, and more. Magnesium with vitamin B may increase the efficacy when paired together for those who suffer from cardiovascular diseases.^[4]

Indications have been found that vitamin B6 (up to 50 mg per day) and B12 may relieve muscle weakness associated with hyperthyroidism. Those who suffer from acute muscle spasms, poor sleep at night, or high levels of stress, may have a magnesium deficiency and may benefit from receiving intravenous treatment to bring their magnesium levels to an optimum state.

Myers’ Cocktail can be administered in Dr. Grochowski’s Clinic (Chicago Interventional Pain Medicine) at 911 N Plum Grove Rd, Unit B, Schaumburg, IL 60173
