“the only thing that was proved to be effective for long covid is this specific protocol we are inducing all the things that happen when we lack in oxygen without the lack of oxygen meaning we are inducing the stem cells to proliferate we are inducing generation of new blood vessel generation of new neurons in the brain”

“when we are doing this fluctuation in oxygen and pressure we are inducing them to proliferate, they are migrating and then we can see for the first time in humans we can see neurogenesis, generation of new neurons, generation of new blood vessels in the brain we can see more mitochondrial activity more metabolic activity.”

“we took people age 65 or older healthy no diabetic no stroke fully function us and we randomize them into treatment control and and we were able to demonstrate that with this specific protocol we can induce neurogenesis, angiogenesis in the brain and once we are doing that the cognitive function is improving.”

“what we are doing we are doing cognitive test bringing everybody to his limits with regard to memory executive function information processes speed attention and after the treatment you see that you are improving with that”

“brain injuries on the other hand people are often told it kind of is what it is and that's to to lose one's mind we we seen this play out in the Press with people with concussions and the there no shortage of disasters where people suffer traumatic injuries lose control of their mental health potentially take their lives hurt people just it doesn't it doesn't end well it's horrifying.”

“the most severe symptoms of covid are related to brain injury today we understand that the virus can penetrate the brain can penetrate here through the CRI reform plate or through the blood screen if it's penetrating through the from plate it damage the frontal up it can bind to the neurons inject the genetic material into the neurons damage the mitochondria and then we have frontal L problem memory personality mood.”

“once you know it might be it stop with your general physician come to him saying I'm feeling that and that he will do a checklist if the checklist is negative and the trigger started after an acute infection with covid even if the infection was one year two years three years ago look for a clinic who knows how to handle it and make the appropriate diagnos and then move to the appropriate treatment”
