    I recently ran into your channel and wanted to thank you for all your informative videos. I am a two-time ovarian cancer survivor. As a result of the lymph node and Omentum removal I now have genital and upper abdominal swelling. It's really taken a toll on my confidence. Can't seem to find any videos on how to help with my kind of swelling. Can you please post a video that shows the proper process?

    Thank you very much, I watched several videos before this that were mental. I'm about to write down to add and further research Charles Atlas dynamic tension exercises throughout my day and maybe just kind of make my own things up to keep moving. Then whatever else this video has. I've at times had luck with burdock root, and apple cider vinegar. My hope is to figure out a little system I can run to when this happens, or repair the lymphatic system with herbs and diet. Its scary having a little daughter now, I'm like oh my god I can't die, I have to revitalize myself

  • @tammyj.9152
    @tammyj.9152 Před 2 lety +5

    Thank you so much for your information. I've been suffering tremendously to the point of being unable to walk without pain or even pick up my own legs to get up stairs or recline in a chair. If I am up on my feet too long, I have a toe or two on each foot that will hurt me so bad that I can't hardly move it. I have a heart condition - and shouldn't take diuretics. I have been battling a serious stomach issue for over two years now. Have been on a PICC line and then also a GI tube until it fell out a second time at the end of last July and I said no more. It had been causing me pain and I wasn't able to take in nutrition anyways. Five stents were placed in my stomach over an 18 month period. The swelling in my feet and ankles is fairly new... I'd say about 3-4 months now. First starting in my feet and then traveling up my leg to knee cap and now from knee cap to thigh. My protein level is extremely low, Albumin is low too..as well as my vitamins A and D. My BNP high but Dr.'s think this is due to my low protein. I've really tried to improve these levels through diet. I am new to your channel here.. do you have any thing specific in regards to herbal teas, or herbs, food, etc. that could help me and preferably quick? I am absolutely miserable! Thank you.

    My brother has lymphedema and we're having a lot of trouble controlling it and his legs are super swollen and weeping he's overweight so it's very hard for him to exercise or to keep his legs up higher than apart and maybe some compression videos would be helpful we do use the bandages to wrap up his leg but it's kind of hard to function in life with your legs wrapped up so it's kind of a no-win situation it seemed.

    grab an old stretchy shirt, 4 to 6 inches from the bottom cut around like you were making a cut off shirt, you should have a ring. repeat. cut it once so that you have one length you can roll up. then either get some of that thin medical grade liner that wraps between the skin and your stretchy shirt, kind of like cheese cloth (never tried using cheese cloth) or skip this part but, depending on your preference and whether or not there is scabbing/irritation from rubbing in the slightest, and wounds or bleeding, but in a pinch sanitize the area real good and sanitize your old shirt real good. poor man's roll and by no means a better solution than the products in this video but probably better than nothing.
