You should stop endorsing snake venom peptide in a jar from the Doctors Show or anywhere else…it’s a scam!!! They are advertising it all over Facebook and I have fallen into their trap. They market themselves under several different names. But the product is the same. I can’t return it. There is no support online This product is a total scam. Looks bad on you.
I’ve read the history on Dr. Sonia Batra, and what I’ve read was very impressive. She’s smart and very attractive women! The education she has I don’t even or never will come close. Two Bachelors & two Master degree very very impressive!
Not to mention she did the 2 bachelor degrees in 3 years. 1 of em in biochemistry.
Not to mention she chucked her head of dermatology hospital position ao she could open her own medical centre. I wonder if it was because she is a over controller and couldn’t put up with bureaucratic hospital rules and procedures.
But im guessing she worked out thatd be better financially and sets her legacy up.
Dr. Batra is a nice, impressive, and smart lady. I enjoy watching her on the show!
Hi Dr. Batra, I have a sister that is 59 years old. She has a large ulcer on her leg that’s not healing. My name is Elizabeth Evans.
