1. What should patients with diabetes know about COVID-19 and how it may affect them?
Those people who are at the highest risks of contracting COVID-19, are those over the age 65, have heart disease, liver disorders, diabetes and other underlying health issues. Because it effects the immune system and compromises the bodies natural defenses fight off infections, it is critical for a person with diabetes to have good blood flow circulation, reducing the chance of infection, ulcers and at worse case amputations.
2. How does Circularity’s D’OXYVA help patients with foot issues, potentially including COVID-19?
D’OXYVA® (deoxyhemoglobin vasodilator) is validated to significantly improve macro-, and micro-circulation of blood flow and certain nerve activities in the body, which together are widely reported to form an effective non-invasive, pain-free solution option for many conditions. It provides accelerated and comprehensive wound care — plus infection protection — in a painless, affordable non-prescription solution available in a clinical setting, or in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
D’OXYVA has shown significant promise for severe cases of diabetic foot ulcers. Its therapeutic effects have circulatory and neurological benefits as well.
3. Tell us about CO2, microcirculation, and its effects on the body.
D’OXYVA uses ultra-purified carbon dioxide, which has been shown to produce higher oxygen unloading by hemoglobin, thereby increasing oxygen-rich blood flow in the local microcirculatory system. This improved dermal microcirculation leads, in turn, to enhanced wound healing.
Good blood circulation has many important health benefits. Among the most prominent is the optimal oxygenation of bodily tissues and organs, which allows for efficient functioning of the heart, lungs and muscles. Active blood circulation also improves the immune response against disease by allowing the better transportation of white blood cells throughout the body. Furthermore, proper blood circulation improves cellular detoxification, while waste removal becomes more efficient. Among its other health benefits, D’OXYVA has been also studied as a successful means of improving the autonomic nervous system.
4. What have clinical trials shown about how D’OXYVA helps patients, especially diabetics with foot problems?
Studies with D’OXYVA have shown increased oxygen concentration and lower carbon dioxide concentration in the blood just 30 minutes after treatment that can last over 60 minutes. Over two dozen studies demonstrated convincing results at clinics and at home with no adverse events.
Many treatments make bold online claims to help cure various conditions and restore you to health — pills, shots, creams, procedures, and devices. But only science-backed, one-of-a-kind D’OXYVA stands alone, delivering the remarkable physical, mental, and emotionally rejuvenating results.
5. As a Internist focused on prevention, what do you want diabetics to know about making their foot health a priority?
The heart is the engine that makes the body function. The foot though a far distance from the heart requires consistent blood flow. It requires open pathways. If those pathways are constricted, which is fairly normal occurrence with diabetic patients, those areas have a tendency to die off, because of the poor blood circulation. That is why it is key to some type of vasodilation to promote microcirculatory blood flow to supply adequate oxygenation the the feet. There by likely helping to prevent infections, ulcers and wounds.
