Myers' cocktail
John Myers, a physician from Baltimore, Maryland, treated many patients with an intravenous nutrient cocktail therapy during over 25 years. At his death, in 1984, his regular patients sought medical assistance. Doctor Alan R. Gaby designed a cocktail inspired on Myers', which he termed the "Myers' cocktail" in honour of his originator. As of 2002, between 800 and 1,000 different patients had received this cocktail from Dr. Gaby.[1]
