Lymphedema Treatment
Lymphedema
This is a problem I see in patients very frequently and it is the reason why they don’t get well even if they are seeing multiple doctors, naturopaths, all kinds of people and everything they do, they seem to get sicker if that is you then one of the things you want to think about is lymphedema.
So what is it?
So when your blood leaves your heart and goes into your tissues about 85% comes back through the veins. The other 15% goes outside the cells and it is collected in a drainage type system called the lymphatic system and this system gets sludgy, we have sort of a swamp there. So whenever you detoxify instead of leaving your body it just goes into the swamp so detoxification will make you feel worse.
How to Increase Lymph Flow:
There are some machines that increase lymphatic flow, but usually we do not need to use these. We recommend using what is called a proteolytic enzyme and what I like is Enzyme Defense, take it on an empty stomach and it just breaks up the particles and makes the lymphatic fluid less viscous so it flows better.
I also use some homeopathics that are designed to do this as well, that combination will usually improve lymphatic flow within a matter of days and once that has occurred you have got good lymphatic flow then and only then can you start to detoxify.
