Poly-MVA Therapy

A unique palladium-lipoic acid complex that supports cellular energy, protects healthy tissue, and may help fight cancer.

What is Poly-MVA?

Poly-MVA (Polydox) is a unique nutritional supplement featuring a patented formulation of palladium bonded to alpha-lipoic acid, combined with B vitamins and trace minerals. Developed by Dr. Merrill Garnett, this compound was designed to support cellular energy production while potentially interfering with cancer cell metabolism.

The "MVA" stands for Minerals, Vitamins, and Amino acids - the components that work together with the palladium-lipoic acid complex. Poly-MVA has been used by integrative cancer practitioners for over two decades as part of comprehensive cancer support protocols.

How Poly-MVA Works

Poly-MVA's mechanism centers on its unique ability to support healthy mitochondrial function while targeting the metabolic vulnerabilities of cancer cells:

Energy Transfer

The palladium-lipoic acid complex acts as a powerful electron transfer agent, supporting efficient energy production in healthy mitochondria while potentially disrupting the inefficient energy metabolism of cancer cells.

Antioxidant Protection

Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant that protects healthy cells from oxidative damage while the palladium complex may generate harmful free radicals specifically in cancer cells.

Mitochondrial Support

Supports the mitochondria (cellular powerhouses) of healthy cells, improving energy production and cellular function while normal cells remain protected.

Selective Action

Research suggests Poly-MVA may selectively affect cancer cells due to their different electrical properties and metabolic characteristics, while supporting healthy tissue.

Potential Benefits for Cancer Patients

  • Improved Energy: Many patients report significant improvements in fatigue and stamina
  • Neuroprotection: May help protect nerves from chemotherapy-induced damage (neuropathy)
  • Radiation Support: Can be used to support healthy tissue during radiation therapy
  • Quality of Life: Patients often experience better overall well-being
  • Cognitive Support: May help with "chemo brain" and mental clarity
  • Appetite Improvement: Some patients notice better appetite and less nausea
  • Safe with Treatment: Can be used alongside chemotherapy and radiation
  • Antioxidant Benefits: Powerful free radical protection for healthy cells

Administration Methods

Oral Supplementation

Poly-MVA is primarily taken as an oral liquid supplement. The liquid form allows for flexible dosing and good absorption. It has a somewhat metallic taste that many patients mix with juice. Standard dosing varies based on the clinical situation, with higher doses often used during active cancer treatment.

Intravenous Administration

For patients who need higher doses or have difficulty with oral absorption, Poly-MVA can be administered intravenously. IV administration achieves higher blood levels and may be preferred during intensive treatment phases or for patients with digestive issues.

Treatment Protocol

Typical Dosing

Dosing is individualized based on your situation:

  • Loading Phase: Higher doses (typically 2-8 teaspoons daily) during active treatment
  • Maintenance Phase: Lower doses (1-2 teaspoons daily) for ongoing support
  • IV Protocol: Determined based on clinical needs and response
Timing Considerations

Poly-MVA should be taken on an empty stomach for best absorption, typically 30 minutes before meals or 2 hours after. When used with chemotherapy, specific timing recommendations may apply based on your treatment schedule.

Duration

Most patients continue Poly-MVA throughout their cancer treatment and often during remission for ongoing support. Duration is determined based on individual response and clinical needs.

Safety & Compatibility

Poly-MVA has an excellent safety profile with over 20 years of clinical use. Key points:

  • Non-toxic: No significant adverse effects reported at therapeutic doses
  • Compatible with chemo: Can be used during most chemotherapy regimens
  • Radiation support: Often used to protect healthy tissue during radiation
  • No interactions: No known significant drug interactions

Note: While generally safe, always inform your oncologist about all supplements you're taking. We coordinate with your medical team to ensure integrated, safe care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Poly-MVA is commonly used during chemotherapy. Many patients find it helps reduce side effects and maintain energy levels. Some oncologists actually recommend it for neuroprotection. We'll coordinate timing with your treatment schedule.

Many patients notice improvements in energy within 1-2 weeks. Other benefits may develop over several weeks to months of consistent use. Response varies based on individual factors and the dosing protocol used.

Poly-MVA has a somewhat metallic taste due to the palladium content. Most patients find it tolerable, especially when mixed with a small amount of juice. The taste becomes less noticeable over time. IV administration bypasses taste issues entirely.

No. Poly-MVA is used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional cancer treatment, not as a replacement. It's designed to support your body during treatment, help manage side effects, and potentially enhance outcomes when used as part of a comprehensive integrative protocol.
