Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 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?
