OKay, is there anyone  out there who uses any herbal remedies or supplements that help this crap?

I am going to start to research , but always put more stock in anecdotal .

Sure hope we can get a good thread going oin this !

    Purple,

    I am considered to have sub- clinical LE so have not had too may issues with it so far. I don't take any substances, herbal or otherwise but drink lots of water, practice MLD daily and exercise ( including weights ).

    Thanks very much, exbrngrl. 

     I would dare touch  a weight just yet...my LE seems toi be flaring. (UGH)

    I'm going to begin by saying, I have not tried ANY of the following suggestions and they may not work or in fact *may even be harmful*. I have NO personal experience with them.  Why post ?

    I am putting them " out there' to see if anyone else has !

    Thius really looked like a  good site -
    http://www.naturalnews.com/034069_lymphedema_natural_remedies.html

    They suggest 250-500 mg bromelain a few times a day whuich makes sense to me as an anti-imnflammatory.

    Then there is Butcher's Broom- 100 mg once a day for 3 mos (only)

    They also suggested the Budwig diet ( no thanks)

    Any comments on these at all?


    I mjust say I was surprised to read this crap might not have  access to ' high' oxygen levels in the blood.,  This concerns me due to my already low O2 levels.

    This crap is a joke....., I thought I was living in a  Catch 22 with cancer.

    This stuff stinx!

    Purple~if you use the Search option and under keywords punch in for example 'bromelain' you may find some of these things have been discussed from time to time.

    Good luck.

    Oh and punch in 'Lymphedema' under the Forum option if you want to narrow down your search a bit.
