The Treatment
Helping restore energy and health — naturally.
How it Works.
Diabetes is breakdown of a person’s metabolic system – a process that turns food into the energy your cells need to be healthy. The core problem of diabetes is not blood sugar; the core problem is metabolizing that sugar.
The treatment simulates the natural signal that a healthy pancreas sends to the liver. This helps restore the normal function of your metabolic system, so your food is processed properly.
Each treatment takes 2-3 hours.
Our trained medical staff begins each treatment by consulting with the patient, including measuring their vital signs. The clinician then starts an intravenous line to introduce a pancreas-like pulsed secretion of insulin using a small specialized pump. Patients are carefully monitored throughout their visit.
At the conclusion of the treatment, a final consultation session is held and post-treatment goals are discussed.
During the 2 - 3 hour treatment, patients can walk around the Wellness Center, read a magazine, use their laptop or chat with other patients. They can also bring a friend or family member to their treatment session.
To begin treatment, patients are not required to change their lifestyle or diet; however, our patients find the benefits they feel empowers them to choose healthier steps in their lives — because they want to.
Who benefits?
Do you know someone who suffers from low energy, foot pain, poor eyesight or uncontrollable blood sugar? For years pharmaceutical companies and medical professionals have offered pills, tonics, exercises and lectures to diabetics. Now there is a better choice.
After just a few treatments, most patients experience more energy, better sensations, clearer thinking, and a brighter outlook on life. Patients with more serious complications will often see such complications reverse themselves.

First Americans Wellness, through our clinic on the Morongo Indian Reservation, offers monoclonal antibody infusion (mAb) treatment for qualified patients (Tribal and non-Tribal) who test positive for COVID-19. The FDA has issued emergency use authorization (EUA) for mAb therapy that could help the immune system recognize and respond more effectively to the virus.
First Americans Wellness is approved to administer sotrovimab to treat mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.
This is in accordance with the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for sotrovimab (https://www.fda.gov/media/149532/download).

The chart below can help you determine if you qualify for the mAb treatment. Contact your primary care physician or other medical healthcare professional for additional information.

Other medical conditions or factors (for example, race or ethnicity) may also place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, and authorization of sotrovimab under the EUA is not limited to the medical conditions or factors listed above.
