Diabetes and COVID-19 Link
I have results from my clinic…
Three of my diabetic patients went into remission after using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

It happens every year around this time… right after the holidays, I get quite a few patients who come to my Wellness Center who have gotten sick.
