Episode 21-51 A New Treatment for COVID – from 20 years ago

Then Rick Carreon, the CEO of ImpediMed, tells us about a technology developed in the 1990’s for research purposes. Today it’s approved for the early detection of lymphedema following breast cancer – and early intervention can stop its progression.
