The Audience Comments

One Viewer Approves:
GOOD!! People often say, “Stop scaring people“ when I say that the survival rate for apnea left untreated for five years from diagnosis is forty percent. I can’t stress [enough] the need for treatment that solves the problem. Many say, “Half I knew when I got diagnosed are not here now.” Most [died] from conditions caused or aggravated by apnea.
Notice how some of the people in the study had [apnea] rates of 10. How many times are doctorss quoted as [saying] that’s mild apnea...There’s no such thing as mild apnea.
I will post a synopsis on hypoxia that I made up. Read it and understand that all you need is one apnea and a defect in the circulatory system when the blood pressure doubles. More to come--but I knew it! Great job!
