my review of Dr. Vu K therapy: You are lead into a room with a very comfortable chair, amazing head phones, great relaxing music, think first class airline seat but without being in an airplane. A nurse comes in and injects the K into your arm muscle (not a vein) and within seconds you feel the effect. Soon you forget all about how nervous you were coming to this office or worrying about urinary track issues, worrying about anything at all. For about an hour you are in this wonderful state. The nurse comes in to check on you every so often. I can barely speak but I'm able to give a thumbs up and mumble "yes yes doing great." The end reminds me of that Guns n' roses song, "when you're high you never, wanna come down..." But even after the hour is over and you can walk again and you are safe to drive, you are very happy the rest of the day. I will say Dr. Vu sells a lot of other stuff besides K shots so be careful what you agree to. It can get very expensive! But overall I think it's a wonderful service he is offering.

  Hmm, I've read a lot about ketamine infusions, and I don't think I've ever come across them delivering it via the intramuscular route before. Was it just a single injection, and do you know how many mg? I thought the whole point was to keep plasma levels high for a long time. Anyone with access to a vial of ketamine could easily perform a single IM injection at home without paying thousands of dollars for the privilege.

    The dosage can vary by patient. I got 30mg.

      Hmm, that's really not much at all.

      Hmm, that's really not much at all, for IM.

    Single injection I don't remember the mg sorry, but I'll go back and ask later this week. Dr. Vu only charges about $100 for each shot. Others do charge WAY more. But I don't think any licensed real USA doctor with legal access to K is letting people self admin it. When I asked about muscle vs vein he said a lot of K is lost in the process and not absorbed by the body, but enough is that it still works fine.
