indeed. Prayers towards some healing on what Gareth is undergoing.

Margaret, What about HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)? Did you tell

me that he can't do HBOT because of tubes in his ears. HBOT healed

's head. However now has a new open wound on his face. We

are getting a HBOT for the home on loan from 's Doc. She told us

to use perixode and wrote a prescrition of Alta Bax and it is

helping.Poor Gareth. Are you still using the supplements? Cyndi Burns
