Harald Schafer, MD; Ulrich Koehler, MD; Thomas Ploch; and Jorg Hermann Peter, MD

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!
