D5W is used as an IV solution in hospitals worldwide. Being mostly a subcutaneous treatment and using only a 1/2 inch needle, harm is minimised
Every treatment aims to extinguish the pain. After the first treatment pain relief may last for a period of 4 hours to 4 days. Repeated treatments (6-8 sessions) usually done weekly, result in a gradual reduction of the overall pain, with the aim of complete resolution
The treatment consists of a series of small injections immediately under the skin targeting painful areas where the nerves are sensitive, with non-pharmacological ingredients. The substance Dr Lyftogt uses is a buffered D5W (dextrose 5% in sterile water) with a neutral pH of 7.4
In 1906 the importance of small unmyelinated C-fibres in the pain experience was discovered by Prof. Charles Sherrington in England.
In 2010 an effective treatment for pain caused by C-fibres was discovered by John Lyftogt, MD, in New Zealand. Dr Lyftogt was the first person to use D5W (dextrose 5% in sterile water) to treat painful nerves and inhibit chronic neuropathic pain.

“ I started using PIT in the emergency departments where I worked at the time. The results were remarkable. A new way of approaching pain and dysfunction was borne in my mind. John helped me to swallow the big pill of adopting a new paradigm, and unlearning a lot of what I had absorbed in my conventional medicine training. Thanks to the teaching, encouragement and mentorship of Dr. Lyftogt, I now have two integrative and regenerative practices and have helped countless people using PIT. ”
