VBG’s are accurate when you want to know Ph, and Co2...And Pox units can tell us their Po2,,pretty much,.

My Father had sleep apnea and was using a cpap.

After he develoled Parkinson's Disease he coul no longer tolerate it.

He would wake up gasping with an O2 Sat of 70.

Against the doctor's advice I put him on O2 with a nasal cannula.

He would sleep through the night with an O2 sat of 98%.

No. they are not. One of the things it is clear we need to do in this illness is limit fluids. Those that get a lot of fluid early on clearly do worse. The most potent volume expander there is is blood. In addition all blood transfusions cause an inflammatory response in the body. Blood is the last thing I would give here people

"Can" is the operative word.

You "can" be an ass...and I "can" be an ass....

I've been one...I know you have been one.

OK.

It is no secret that ventilators can damage the lungs.

Everyday in every way this disease gets stranger and stranger

I see that we have a student of Emile Coue.

You ain't a Doc...nor I don't think you have any medical experience.

I do...

And what you just said there is totally false.

So bleed them and then transfuse them.

Does CV attack the hemoglobin?

How else to get O2 in the blood stream to oxygenate the organs?

I only watched the video portion of the doctor. But 60 gHz is the ‘human’ frequency. The hardware your soul occupies is ‘tuned’ to 60gHz

I’m unaware of any 60 GHz hardware in my house or vehicles.

I did that on my own.
I had to look Emile Couep.

ECMO...but that is a last resort...in these cases.

I've seen it work in other cases...

ROTFLMAO! To claim that ventilators do not damage the lungs is pure idiocy.

Of course, you have more experience with drugs and knives than I do.

That makes absolutely no sense. The transfusion still causes a diffuse inflammatory response in the body and we did away with blood letting as a treatment back In the days of the revolutionary war. I simply do not see this disease as an attack on hemoglobin and even if it was your proposal would kill a lot more people a lot faster

Would an iron supplement help resolve the problem???

Not quite: the lung tissue cells are where the virus replicates and destroy the cells in the process; these dead cells and the fluid buildup of debris prevents the alveoli from functioning to be the environment for gas exchange; one of the reasons smokers and COPD patients are usually doing worse than others. This virus is not like any other I have ever studied. It is a two prong killer.

I did not watch the part after the doctor’s message, so I will not address the 5G ‘potentials’?

Giving CPR and applying tourniquets during gang fights?
