High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The "Myers` cocktail" is the colloquial name for a nutrient cocktail invented by John Myers, a physician from Baltimore, Maryland, and developed by Alan R. Gaby, administered intravenously and promoted as an alternative treatment for a broad range of conditions including asthma, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. As of 2002, between 800 and 1,000 different patients had received this cocktail from Dr. Gaby. and the cocktail was reportedly administered to Michael Jackson to boost his energy. However, evidence for its effectiveness is largely anecdotal; there are few clinical studies of the cocktail and a placebo-controlled double-blind study of the effectiveness of Myers` cocktail at treating fibromylagia found the cocktail did not perform significantly better than a placebo.
