Thank you..hopefully more doctors will be interested. When had lymph leak, doctor said it was a bug bite. Lost all faith. Thanks for hope.

Hello i have finally found some good info on this subject. Ty for bringing this to light. I have been struggling with a swollen leg for many years which stayed after my blood clot in that leg. I will take part in studies if need be. I am frustrated with my treatment over this and i am at the point where they just ignore a minor blood clot. I am a 36 year old male and healthy enough please get back to me One love

My husband, a diabetic for forty years with well controlled numbers and good health...all the same developed swelling in his lower legs and began to 'leak' a kind of straw colored fluid. The VA Hospital Doctors just blinked. Baffled! Then eventually we lucked into a wonderful young Doctor (he was Asian, come to think on it), and thus seemed to have a real respect and understanding about an ORGANIC, whole body approach to medical diagnosis and treatment. He was quite familiar with the lymphatic system. And it was he, in fact who recommended and facilitated our getting a FlexiTouch compression device. He made sure we had an in home tutorial, so I could learn and apply the set up: use the device correctly for my husband's lower leg treatment. It has been two years and the results speak for themselves.

I believe that I’d given up after spending years in & out of the hospital, having cellulitis and unable to get my Elvarex garments on. I need to get out of bed and to start learning how to care for my legs up to my waist.

I am not a doctor or a medical person
I am a lymphedema patient.

Motivated to add data as we both figure it out

Lymphatic research stops in some point with treatment except mlva vlna or liposuction still not enough.

When the interstitial fluids of the interstitium are acidic they becomes stagnant, this causes inflammation in the body and all other disease. It needs to be alkaline/ oxygen rich. If u oxegenate the fluids then it circulates then eliminates properly. It's the most important organ, the deepest fluids along with cellular fluids. It controls the lymphatic. For health we need to change the waters, keep all rivers of the body flowing. Just like a dirty fish tank with sick fish, we change and clean the water then the fish become healthy. Body terrain theory. It's not a theory though, it's the truth.

Bullshit. A year to see him- a $17k test to find out he “ has no clue what to do “. WTF
