Dee, is it possible that lymphodema is involved here, or even lipodema or a mixture of the two? Things block the flow of lymph, and so the fluid just sits in the tissues. I've been told that problems in the reproductive organs can cause lymphodoema in the lower half of the body, e.g. fibroids - they block the flow of lymph which bathes the tissues. The fluid can't flow back to the blood stream, and just sits there. With lipodoema, if I have it right, the lipids stuck in the tissues then go on to block the lymph, so you get a double whammy. Also with lipodoema, the limbs etc can be larger than normal, but the feet are normal sized. With lymphodoema, the feet swell also.
Typically, people assume that overeating is the cause. There is an interesting site - rather encouraging, too - on www.poppylaneclinic.com.au Poppy Lane Skin Care & Lymphoedema Clinic 139 Hollywood Drive Lansvale NSW 2166 Australia (02) 9723 5402 http://www.lymph.com.au/webcontent14.htm I just read that because of the static lymph, infections are a strong possibility and it's recommended that the patient keep antibiotics on hand in case. Here is where CS should come into its own! CS and DMSO topically would enter the tissues right to any site of infection. Regards Rowena . . . even when I cut my calories down to 1500 per day, (which is mostly what I usually consume, perhaps a bit more but never over 2000) and yet I am 196lbs. (I think somewhere the Dee's have got mixed up!) and I am 5' 6" I know people do not believe this and think that when you are this sort of weight, that you must be stuffing your face secretly, but I can assure you this is not true. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
