If you or someone close to you suffers from an autoimmune disorder or chronic ailment, then you know the burden of pain. And as cutting-edge as Western medicine is, it doesn't always provide long-term relief from common conditions.

Dallas-based Regen IV Wellness picks up where traditional healthcare leaves off, and was founded on the idea that a body must be primed for optimum health in order to heal. The clinic uses integrative, holistic methods of treatment.

And what exactly does that mean?

It helps to know that studies from Dr. Shallenberger, president of the American Academy of Ozonotherapy, concluded that many diseases result from the body's inability to fully utilize oxygen. If treatments can help patients utilize oxygen, then healing will follow.

Through multiple IV treatments, injections, or insufflations (air being blown into the body), patients receive nurse-administered therapies at Regen to stimulate immune-system response and improve the use of oxygen at a cellular level.

These oxygen-giving treatments include Regen's signature Ozone therapy. It provides antimicrobial benefits for infections, improves autoimmune disease symptoms, cardiovascular disease, and even supports oncology treatment.

Similarly, hydrogen peroxide infusions enter the blood stream and benefit areas of the body that have been oxygen-deprived. It's been said to fight arthritis, cancer, diabetes, infections, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, herpes zoster and simplex, Epstein-Barr, and candida. For chronic neck and back pain, joint pain, and all forms of musculoskeletal aches, Prolozone works as a homeopathic oxygen injection.

PRP therapy and supplement programs are also available and offer a wide range of benefits.

Regen IV Wellness has successfully treated more than 30 cases of acute viral illnesses with a 100-percent recovery rate and no hospitalizations, including a majority of Covid-19 positive patients.

One 62-year-old woman had a compromised immune system and was suffering with typical COVID-19 symptoms: fever, shortness of breath, body aches, and a cough. With a rigorous protocol that included oxidative therapies, the patient reported feeling 95 percent better by day five.

The holistic clinic also helps patients via IV vitamin therapies such as Myer's Cocktail, which contains B-vitamins, magnesium, and vitamin C. It addresses fatigue, seasonal allergies, and symptoms of depression.

NAD+ is also available, which helps the body reduce environmental toxins and slows the effects of aging, facilitates detoxification, and supports neuroregenerative processes.

This is the family income needed for one parent to stay home in Texas

With costs to raise a child soaring over $20,000 a year in Texas, some households might decide to have one parent work while the other stays at home to raise their child.

The cost of raising a child has ballooned in major metros like Dallas-Fort Worth, forcing many families to weight the choice between paying for child care or having one parent stay home full-time.

A recent analysis from SmartAsset determined the minimum income one parent needs to earn to support their partner staying at home to raise one child in all 50 states. In Texas, that amount is just under $75,000.

The study used the MIT Living Wage Calculator to compare the annual living wages needed for a household with two working adults and one child, and a household with one working adult, a stay-at-home parent, and one child. The study also calculated how much it would cost to raise a child with two working parents based on factors such as "food, housing, childcare, healthcare, transportation, incremental income taxes and other necessities."

A Texas household with one working parent would need to earn $74,734 a year to support their stay-at-home partner and their child, the report found. If both parents worked in the household, it would require an additional $10,504 in annual income to raise their child.

SmartAsset said the cost to raise a child in Texas in a two-working-parent household adds up to $23,587. Raising a child in North Texas, however, is slightly more affordable. A separate SmartAsset study from June 2025 determined it costs $22,337 to raise a child in Dallas-Fort Worth.

In the report's ranking of states with the highest minimum income needed to support a family with one working adult, a stay-at-home parent, and one child, Texas ranked 32nd on the list.

In other states like Massachusetts where raising a child can cost more than $40,000 a year, the report's author says families will look for ways to reduce any financial burdens.

"This often includes considerations around who’s going to work in the household, and whether young children will require paid daycare services while parents are occupied," the report said. "With tradeoffs abound, many parents might seek to understand the minimum income needed to keep the family afloat while allowing the other parent to stay home to raise a young child."

The top 10 states with the lowest minimum income threshold to support a three-person family on one income are:

West Virginia – $68,099
Arkansas – $68,141
Mississippi – $70,242
Kentucky – $70,408
North Dakota – $70,949
Oklahoma – $71,718
Ohio – $72,114
South Dakota – $72,218
Alabama – $72,238
Nebraska – $72,966
