I had lipodema all my life and never understood why I was so heavy in my hips and thighs I literally was two sizes bigger on my hips. Long story short I asked my GP who diagnosed me in 2022. I read sugar and gluten as a problem so I gave them up and changed to a Carnivore Diet (loads of vids Dr Ken Berry, Dr sean Baker, Beef and Butter Gal) and over eight months it reduced and I dropped two and a half stone and two trouser sizes. Im size 14 UK which ive not been since my teens I’m now in my sixties!!! I feel and look so much younger with way better energy levels. No sugar cravings after a few days. Lifelong clinical depression gone! I hope this helps someone. If I can do it anyone can! x
Congratulations! I am doing keto and it has made a difference in the leg swelling. I try to do intermittent fasting 16/8, sometimes 18/6. I'm wondering if I do longer states of autophagy if it will help get rid of the bad fat cells/connective tissue disorder. Do you fast?
@@marybethleib8286 Stop with the high cholesterol BS.. It's people that keep pushing the fallacy that high cholesterol is bad.. Your liver makes 75% cholesterol and is needed for the body to function.. There have been new studies done that show high cholesterol was NEVER BAD!.. It was pushed on us by a guy named Ansel Keys.. no clinical studies were done to prove cholesterol was bad.. He thought eating fat makes you fat and clog your arteries.. Go watch Dr Ken Berry about what cholesterol is or the other doctors on here.. Go research.. There are still some websites still pushing the lie about cholesterol is so bad.. They want to keep you on those meds..
I have lipodema (only stage 1) and have greatly reduced swelling and problems through bike riding for exercise (1-1.5 hours several times a week, if not daily), and intermittent fasting 16 hours a day. I also stopped red meat and almost never eat chicken. I eat whole foods for the most part (occasional cheating on chips or a homemade cookie or sweet roll seems to be OK as long as it's rare). Never eat processed food. I lost 15 pounds without "dieting", I just eat well, don't eat after 7pm and fast until 11am., then I eat as much as I want. I have olive oil in my diet, eat lots of vegetables, beans, nuts, and fruits. I make homemade granola with healthy fats and a small amount of honey or maple syrup (it doesn't taste sweet, and I've gotten used to it because I make it crunchy and toasty and eat with apples and berries). I eased into all of the above over several years, and I don't think anyone can jump in and change heaven and earth and have it work. Begin by increasing the good and decreasing the harmful. Feeling good and being healthy reinforces good eating. Don't judge yourself, just try to do better the next day!
Thanks for sharing! I highly suspect I have stage one as well. Slim and athletic except for abnormal accumulation in thighs hips and butt. Im mostly a plant based eater so I'm happy to hear your approach to diet is working. I'll have to try cycling on top of my strength training regimen.
@@lalitahalawar2198 not necessarily, could be a temporary swelling that resolves itself eventually, but can be warning sign for a few things... if you ever need t get a surgery involving removing a lymph node, let them know as you might easily get it.. good news there are tests they can give you before hand to see how susceptible you are and dont let them wave it away.. Other vascular problems also cause edema (swelling ) you also may have other things that need attention, and lastly there is a lot of undiagnosed lymphedema out there.. a lot.. some people have it for years and dont know it so if you have had a already a lymph node removed.. if you are swelling every day and it never quite resolves .. that is a real sign...in any case I would when traveling move and jump and shake your limbs as often as you can.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Chuck Erlich & this Channel 🙏🏼 I watched this a year ago and followed all the diet advice given plus daily lymphatic massage & exercise. I also used skin brushing, gua sha and short hot to cold showers over the year. I am utterly astonished at the results. I’ve had Lipedema since puberty mainly on my legs-mid thigh, knee, calf and ankle. No matter how slim my upper body, hips & Butt, my legs have always been like columns with no definition, fat at inner knees, shins, dorsal foot etc. I also had inner elbow fat Not only have I lost 26lb in weight this year, its gone from my knees & calves, shins & elbows and my limbs for the first time in my life look “Normal Shaped” My lovely Lipodema Friends, this is TOUGH to follow. But it WORKS!!! Ps. I stopped drinking alcohol completely and would recommend the same to others to get my results ie don’t just “reduce” alcohol. It’s so worth it. Xx
@@ciel1271 Yes I did. Along with Kombucha, and many other fermented vegetables. I focussed very much on the gut microbiome. Kefir & yoghurt are different to “Dairy” in general as they feed and change the gut microbiome. They nurture the Lymphatic system by reducing harmful gut bacteria and increasing good bacteria. Having a healthy gut microbiome also has stabilised my Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis, and works for all AutoImmune diseases. It’s incredibly powerful for good health and much cutting edge research is being done on the gut/brain relationship. Faecal transplants are being used from healthy individuals to sick ones to cure various Chronic Illnesses- an icky but exciting new area of medicine that is showing incredible results. It is possibly the future of medicine. If you are interested, just read more about the Gut Microbiome as many books & free info is available online Good luck & good health to you my friend Rae xx
@@johannakatharina9373 May I suggest adding Vitamin D supplements plus probiotics & eating fermented products like Kefir/Yoghurt/Sauerkraut/Kombucha/ fermented soy beans and making your own fermented vegetables. I believe that Vitamin D 10,000 in per day in winter & 4000iu rest of year plus nurturing the gut Microbiome are the Keys to my progress I wish you all the very best Johanna Rae x
I think you changed my life and I will never forget you. I have EDS that got to the worst stage I could imagine. I cured it but when I slowly came back I realized it was lymph related and you’re the first doctor I’ve come across to acknowledge it. Treating it as lymphedema has changed my life.
This is the third video on the topic i am watching (first two being of Dr Mrs Karen Herbst) and i am looking into this topic as a computer science engineer but i have also personal reasons to watch and translate - i am just reading about mastocytes... and found out :-0 to my surprise that mastocytes were found out by... Mr.... Paul Ehrlich in 1876... here Prof Chick Ehrlich is speaking - tell me its just a coincidence :) !
All of this advice is perfect and right on point. I was born with primary lymphedema and wasn't diagnosed until I was four (4) I'm 50 now. Yes eating healthy and exercising is the best way that I have been able to maintain it and have lived a fun and active life. As a child I had experimental surgery because it was so rare,my family took me to many doctors. 1 included widening of the veins on the tops of my feet which eliminated a lot of the swelling on one side 70% and decreased it by 40% on the other. My legs do still swell, especially around that time of the month. Investing in a good shoes and keeping your feet clean and if you can pedicured. Lotion is A+ good for the skin and for getting massaged. I do my 6 zones and pedi myself. Feeling pampered, especially when you aren't sure what your legs will look like through the end of day is a blessing. Bottom line eating right will be normal eating. Promise you. Hopes this helps you feel better and stay positive.Stay beautiful and strong.
Milk thistle and cutting out all meat and dairy . Add milk thistle to aid your liver add sodium bicarbonate 1/4 to 1/2 tsp to a gallon of water make your own double o pills from milk thistle this will change your life instantly . No meat for a week you will instantly see results . Blessings
Nichole Jones I have primary Lymphedema as well, and lipedema as well. I’m morbidly obese and it’s hard to loose weight. I needed to hear this lecture to start changing my diet habits, and loose weight for my overall health. I can’t tell you how fatigued I get with this condition, and it’s a battle every day to get through. I’m an older college student, and I struggle sitting for long periods with toe and leg numbness as well. Thank you for sharing your information
My son is 36 and was born with primary lymphedema. His legs are HUGE. He develops cellulitis at least once a year sometimes 2 even though he takes very good care of his legs and condition in general. He is very active but cannot lose any weight. It is so frustrating. He could definitely improve on his diet. Thank you for sharing that info.
I do manual lymphadema drainage exercise daily ever since I had stage 4 breast cancer and had bilateral mastectomy. The manual lymphedema drainage exercises helped me reduced retention and swelling. I don arm compression daily and have started on Rebounder exercise recently. Rebounder, trampoline are good for lymphatic drainage as well. Blessings to all.
Good for you. I do not even have a rebounder. Is that a small trampoline? Did you get it on Amazon? Do you jump up & down on this ? Do you have have something to hold on to? Send me a picture of yours if that’s easy to do. I wish they had one at my gym.
Why are you all being mean to Patty Donovan? Those were legitimate questions about the trampoline and rebounder. Some pieces of equipment have multiple uses and some terms refer to multiple similar pieces of equipment. Yes, you can’t send pics on TH-cam comments but you can send links and either way, there are nicer ways to let people know things they don’t know.
This lecture is what I needed to hear. After a long travel day from US to the UK my legs and feet are so swollen I was forced on day 2 of my trip to stay in bed flat on my back waiting for the swelling to go down in my legs and feet. I’ve been suffering from peripheral neuropathy for several years without a satisfactory explanation.
The high fat keto diet for 4 months caused me to get elevated cholesterol and triglycerides (319 & 230) and eventually lower leg and feet swelling. I was eating a VERY high fat diet. Roasted fatty pork belly and wings with the skin, lots of home made mayo with avocado oil, butter, ghee, coconut oil, nuts, avocado, I was chowing down on any fats I got my hands on. it was delicious, but it wasn't good for me. I was DX'd with lymphedema yesterday and will get corrective surgery on poor veins in my lower legs. Was glad to find this video. Beans are a great way to get rid of fat soluble toxins in the GI tract. If you've been eating a high fat diet, I think eating beans daily will lower your cholesterol rather fast. And this time I think I'll do a plant based diet, with eggs or fish 2x a week because it could save your life.
Most of the supermarket meat that is 'NOT ORGANIC' are in themselves 'TOXIC': because they are loaded with inflammatory omega 6 fats. I presume this will explain the cause of your condition
Not all fat is good for you. Nuts, virgin olive oil, avocado and such fat sources won’t increase your bad cholesterol. The leading cause of high cholesterol is over-consumption of fatty meats and seed oils. What you did is often called the “bad version of keto” yes it qualifies as ketogenic but it has such flaws. I have been doing keto for the last 50 days and am planning to do so for a few months but I am almost certain that my cholesterol levels are not going to be affected (I had bloodwork done before starting and knew my cholesterol wasn’t an issue)
I have full body lymphedema from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head. I appreciate this info so much. This has been ongoing for over 10 years with little or no support from Dr.s Thank you so much. God bless you!
My friend has this and there seem to be no medical people who know much about it. No one has ever told her about the fattty liver connection. I have forwarded this to her. I was also interested in the various nutriants/supplements. I'm big on supplements and they have made a difference in my own health. Hope you can find some relief from this heartbreaking condition.
I live in Oregon the Pacific Northwest and I cannot find any one that specializes in Lympadema. I have only been referred to physical therapy for massage of the limp system.
@@missecho1530 Have you contacted OHSU? My son, not in Portland, has been unable to find a knowledgeable dr. At one point, a local dr. researched the condition and was helpful, but he retired.
I have lipodema, recently found out. I am almost 100% carnivore. I have been diagnosed with other issues fibromyalgia, autoimmune, migraines, inflammation which was ridiculous. Since on carnivore since April 24 almost all of my muscle weakness has disappeared, no headaches,energy high. Fat deposits on my legs and arms going down lost 30 lbs gained back 10 because of my fruit and hormone regulation issues. It’s getting better though. 🔥🤷♀️The comment from this doctor about limiting the meat and fat intake??? Is he kidding? I PROMISE YOU ALL, increase your fat and beef intake!!!! Your body craves the nutrients in beef! Carnivore videos are necessary to heal Any Disease. It is simple science
You answered my burning question regarding going Carnivore. Thanks! I have an issue that makes my situation more complicated; I’m a T-10-12, complete paraplegic, since 2010. I tried strict carnivore for only 5 days, and no lie, I felt better to had since I fell and got paralyzed in 2010! However, I had to open my big mouth and mention what I was doing to my visiting nurse, that sees me 3 days per week for wound issues.(long story) Anyway, she said, “Oh no, I wouldn’t do that!” So, I immediately went back to eating what I felt bad on before again. No lie, my first meal, I felt horrible! I’m getting ready to commit to Carnivore again, only, I’m keeping it to myself! I’m keeping an accurate medical log during this. Pray for me please friends!❤Thank you, everyone!
Absolutely fantastic. This is what all our Drs / GPs / health care workers & schools in the UK should be teaching their patients / kids. As part of their most basic duty of care . They should be drilling this info into us all, because if we all had good regular advice from our GPs ect, about improving gut health & tell people better "WHY" they need to cut down on bad stuff because of its inflammatory effects on the body, then we'd all / most of us would be so much better off for it. PLUS it would help ease & save our NHS & all its related cost & quality related problems.
Why would you think doctors would be so stupid as to give advice on healthy eating? That would eventually put them out of business, or at the very least reduce their salaries drastically. Of course they aren’t going to volunteer to do that. They love to stay rich making money off others’ misery. All of the idiots out there that put their trust and faith in the health care system like it’s actually there to help you. Stupidity and gullibility like that doesn’t deserve to be saved. So, the entire process is self-fulfilled poetic justice. 97% of humanity are just braindead zombies following whatever the person in front of them is doing. It will not change, and humanity as we know it is on its way out. And thank god, because we are an embarrassment to the universe.
Those with Lipedema need to look into the carnivore diet. So many women are getting amazing results, including me. I’m still a work in progress but I’m gradually working it all out. Keeping insulin low seems to be of massive benefit.
@@vanessahollenbach85Why? People who are suffering are ready to do anything, because doctors fail and pills don't work! A diet is an easiest way to cure. Carnivore diet is an elimination diet which is known to reduce inflammation. It's great for those who want to find out if it's carbs which cause all this swelling. Even cardiologists say, one can try a / any diet for 8 weeks and see if it helps, if not- one is free to stop it.
I've been doing high fat keto and become so swollen when I eat, that to move is painful and I'm an active person-moving usually eases the pain. Thank you for teaching us what is happening and how we can heal in detail. I'm so grateful we can have free access to this information! There's hope to get our mobility back and to let go of all the toxins. You are all Godsends for all the work and research you do, that actually makes a difference. And then making it possible to share this info. ❤
I don't know if I had lymodema buy I have lymphoma and 9 months ago I was 60 lbs heavier than present. I cut calories to between 800 to 1000 daily had two small meals 4 eggs whites, spices unsweetened cold brew and a chicken breast or boneless pork a few hrs later. No more food, no treats, no days off and logging my food. I deflated from Size 18 to size 12. I have 20 lbs to go to be standard weight. I do think we all eat wayyy too much in north America.
@sonjagatto9981 thank u ... since a year ago I've been able to increase my caloric intake to 1609 - 1700 a day which is much less than avg ppl eat and I've maintained weight, and fully satiated. I thank God for his help.
Thank you for this video! I learned about causes of lymphedema I’d never heard before. I’ve had 4 sentinel lymph nodes removed with a breast cancer lumpectomy and have berm terrified of getting lymphedema ever since. You’ve calmed my fears quite a bit as 10 years ago I switched to mostly vegan Whole Foods plant diet with plenty of big green salads, green smoothies and seeds, berries and beans. Occasionally eat animal products as a condiment, unfortunately desserts are a downfall on occasion as are tortilla chips at a restaurant. But my diet by far is more healthy than unhealthy. I also have regularly had at least 12 hours between dinner and breakfast for years. Funny how the most important things are under our own control snd doctors and even physical therapists don’t have a clue about diet being a major factor in this!! I’m grateful. Thank you.
Thank you so much, been fighting lymphedema for many years. My doctors do not know how to treat it except with stockings, which i cannot wear. You have given me hope where i thought there was none. Thank you, thank you, thank you! God bless you!
Hello I have lymphedema in my legs . I too did not have any luck with socks. But wrapping the with a thin foam.then over that long stretch bandages like aces bandages .whip first one way the the second counterclockwise so basically one goes clockwise the other counterclockwise like 4:30 in the morning here. you also need to see a vascular surgeon. I wouldn’t have surgery no way, but they are very helping in getting you wraps. You can also go with a Velcro wrap you have to be fitted for that we have auto insurance, so basically it pays for most of it except for the foam or is bandages. If you can afford it, some not all physical therapist know how to treat us oddly I went to Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan like four times. No one new what it Was. was a real nightmare. He had a home care nurse tell me it was because I ate broth one day and then I got lymphedema the next. I was miserable at the time and my sweet, sweet husband, who is kind, compassionate, loving,. when the nurse was ready to leave, my husband, Alex score deserve to the door, and he paused for a minute and told her don’t ever come back here. She was nasty to begin with. wish you all the luck in the world in God’s mighty blessings. Margie
Thank you kindly for sharing your knowledge, you are truly a caring Doctor. You have not, like so many Doctors, forgotten why you became a Doctor. To help and try not just to guess, as many Doctors will do. Again; thank you kindly for giving this thinker some food, to think for myself and to work together with my Doctor so I can get well again. There is Nothing more important then a Doctor that is open minded to also be a healer. I will buy your 📖 and maybe at 70 I will go back to school and become a healer myself 🤔😆😆😆😆
I don't have lipodema, this was in my suggested videos and looked intriguing and I have to say I really like this. I even took a couple screen shots for reference. There are so many gems like finding eating patterns not diets, and activity is important but focusing on what you eat because it will help you become active.

We need livestock raised on diverse pasture. Products from livestock raised on diverse pasture ('weedy' is great) have more omega threes, fewer omega sixes than conventionally raised, CAFO livestock. If you purchase or raise livestock this way you have much healthier meats, eggs and dairy. If they are mob grazed on diverse pasture, even better. Studies show this.
Yes, I am doing it right now concerning correct intakes of food, etc... Doing it for 5 months now and my pain is as good as none, can walk without cane too.
Sorry, it is NOT really about eating fat, it is about the inability to process junky oxidized fat (liquid oils used at high temperatures for example). It binds with sugary carbs and creates havoc in your gut and colon. It really is an insulin resistance, sugar and carb issue, NOT a fat issue. Intermittent dieting (rotating OMAD, 16:8 and 20:4), Autophagy fasting (alternate day fasting of cycles of 24 to 36 hrs) and Gluten and Dairy-free clean keto diet with the meals you do eat - it makes it go away by 90%. It is not the fat you are eating, it is the fact you are eating sugar with BAD fats that respond poorly in your body and prevent your body from processing the food, and then you bloat and that bloat has to go somewhere. Eat-in moderation, but STOP eating sugar and excessive carbs (live on less than 100 grams of carbs a day if you exercise and ONLY 50 grams a day if you don't). And healthy fats -avocado and coconut, grass-fed butter, and animal fat that are raised to eat grass and biologically appropriate diets. You will nearly cure it. For a complete cure, you need Liposuction and lymph drainage but NO ONE wants to admit that because then insurance is going to have to pay for it.
I could do without dairy but cannot drink coffee without milk or cream, cannot use non-dairy creamers because of their content. Do you have any suggestion for me? Thanks
@@PaulineHendricks-wt9oc I'm not the OP, so apologies for butting in... but, most people do consider small amounts of dairy to be part of the carnivore diet, which is basically a stricter keto diet. If dairy is causing your issues to worsen, I would personally stop drinking coffee (it'll suck for a while, but if it's benefitting your health...). But if it's not causing you any trouble, I wouldn't worry about a little bit of milk in your coffee. Ultimately, everyone's gut is different and you just need to find what works for you. I'd say, from a keto perspective, cutting down your carbs/sugar is much more important than completely cutting out dairy! Obviously, I don't know if that's still true from a lipodema perspective, though.
Oh! One more thing. I could be wrong, but I think the sugar in dairy comes from lactose. You can get lactose-free milk. So that might be something to look into?
Chuck... you're the most amazing expert that I have ever listened to, met, worked with or read, in this subject! I will follow your work and as a professional in this field, respect you deeply, forever! THANK you, sir!❤
@@olgapridham4234 Hello Olga 👋💚 You want the name of his book. It’s easy - the name of this presenter is right at the opening of this video. Chuck Eherich. Put his name into Amazon search and several of his books will pop up. All have “Lymphedema” in the title.
It was only when I removed all plants and ate fully carnivore that my T2D reversed and lymphoedema was cured. Age 64 with excellent labs first time in 30 yrs.
Yes! I'm so glad to see your comment. I've eaten a carnivore diet for almost two months, and my lipedema is going away. I often hear the fluid emptying right under my skin. It's the first time since puberty that my stomach is flattening.
I am so happy, I came across this video today. I know it's the information, I have been searching for. I took notes on everything and I plan to follow his advice. I thank you for this wonderful video.
Restaurants all use bad (and cheap) vegetable oil, even even expensive ones. When I stopped eating out due to Covid, I suddenly started losing weight, although I ate the same food at home. Just eating out on weekends was enough to cause problems, because of restaurant vegetable oils.
The pandemic helped me clean up my diet too. After keto, as I was doing it eating oils with abandon, raised my total cholesterol, I cut out all oil. I know now that seed oils are the worst, but I feel better just getting my oil from the whole foods they come in. And, of course, I pay attention to avoiding foods high in Omega-6 or oxalates, the latter of which is hard on the kidneys. Congratulations on your magnificent success! Best wishes on your journey.
This was a very informative talk with practical and adaptable options presented. Much appreciated! Thank you for making this content available to the public!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been doing Dr Eric Berg’s healthy keto, OMAD and 2,3,4 day fasting for 3 months. I had stage 2 Lipedema, am 5.0’ and started at 70kgs. In that time I have been only eating the suggested Lipedema benefitting foods in this video and lost 5kgs. The last 7 days I started taking L-arganine and Diosmin supplements, (these were the only ones I found available to Australia) and I have lost 3kgs! What is absolutely thrilling for me is it has all come off my lipo legs. I no longer have that start of lipo fat protruding from my hips and my legs are starting to take shape. Thank you so much! After 40 years of trying every possible diet, herb, training, therapy... I finally have something that works.
I'm so pleased for you, and as I too have lipoedema, stage 2-3, I'm interested in your success. Interestingly, I was taking L-arginine in a sleep supplement about 10 years ago and I found that it slowed the progression of my lippy...although I wasn't actually aware of that until just now being attributed to L-arginine...wow moment! I shall be looking into supplementing my diet with that.
@@CelticSpirit7 I stopped taking these for a month cause I was taking too many supplements and doing prolonged fasting that affected my kidney function. I got that all sorted and my Dr has okayed me to take the Lipedema supplements again. When I stopped taking them I didn’t lose any weight. As soon as I started taking them again the weight started coming off again. Also recently I reduced my fat intake to only 30 grams a day, no coffee, minimal dairy, only 3 Brazil nuts per day and really losing weight fast. Doing keto Maria Emmerich way
Love Dr. Berg. His work helped me lose 25 pounds since 1/1/21. No idea why I have lymphedema and feet/LL still swell and the only correlation I have noticed is its worse when the weather is hot (even if I don’t go outside) that tells me there may be a barometric component to it. I have barometric vertigo and am highly sensitive overall. Who knows, I’ll try the protocol and see if it helps. Best to you in your progress against this most annoying of conditions.
Can you recommend a brand of Diosmin that does not contain all of the other ingredients (ie horse chestnut, other herbs, etc). I just want the pure Diosmin. Also, how much /dosage of diosmin do you take per day? Thanks for your help!! Greatly appreciate it.
@@AxelSituation I couldn’t find one that ships to Australia. I take 2 early morning and 2 evening. The other stuff in diosmin complex is recommended to take by chuck Ehrlich to help with Lipedema.
Watching this at 12am. This is so helpful thank you for making this available for free! I feel so much better since I started eating lots of vegetables and decreased protein intake.
The advice to minimize fats goes contrary to Gillian Szollos's very high fat ketogenic diet that she has found helpful. Avoiding all the processed foods and sugars is consistent and important. I find that alcohol, sodium and pretty much any carbs trigger my lipedema.
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html check out Dr Price's work, This is not the whole book, You'll have to get the hard copy for the second half of the book with all his charts and maps of soils. He's really the one that started all the keto stuff before Atkins even, because people used to know how to prepare their foods. and they used tohave a wisdom as to what was best for development and growth and health. These people ate up to 80% of their calories in animal fats. Also www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/know-your-fats/the-great-con-ola/ and more detail on the Skinny on Fats; www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/know-your-fats/the-skinny-on-fats/ Mary Enig got her PhD on fats research at the U of MD, and for the complete chart of the fatty acids and their lengths, her book Know Your Fats is a good one.
@@whisperingsage Saturated fats are good. I think due to the body's problem metabolizing fat it has to be somewhat restricted. If eating meat it must be 100% grass fed grass finished to get the lower inflammation causing omega 3s.
I think he is saying avoid long chain triglycerides (vegetable oils etc)...this ones are the ones you have to avoid. the Keto diet is based on Short chain and medium chain triglycerides the good fats that are absorbed in the small intestines without the employment of the lymph nodes.
@@whisperingsage Yeah I tend to do better with animal fats and lower carbs but some people really can also find a non inflammatory diet with this method.. I think both agree on the sugar being the culprit and would be interesting to do tests showing that the sugars are the part of the equation...and whole foods with intermittent fasting works depending on personal metabolic and will have to be customized.
Was diagnosed with secondary lymphedema, came across Chuck Ehrlich book, the dietary guidelines along with compression boots 2 times a day, have given me great success, primary phyicans have been of no help, they state they don't get much training in this area.
linda-- just a rhetorical question for our doctors, who give us excuses like 'we didn't study this in school'. I must ask, if we're smart enough to learn these things years after we got out of school, why aren't they? Sorry, had to say it!
So true about fatty liver. I loved to eat fruit. When I switched to low carb and ate mest, butter, full fat dairy and low carb veggies, the fatty liver (and chronic dermotographia) went away. I do not have lymph issues but 2 family mrmbers do.
I also have H-EDS, I developed Lymphedema on my left side many years after I survived stage 4 Burkitt's Lymphoma which attacks the Central Nervous System. followed by Fibromyalgia.
I eat tons of beef fat. Lost 90 pounds but still have a way to go. My gut feels so much better. Hope my liver is healing. Love love loved this video! 💕 Just more of an incentive to keep up with my current eating plan.
Beef tallow is not a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, with only 3.45 percent in grain-fed and 1.9 percent of the total in grass-fed. Thus, while even grain-fed beef tallow has a much lower content of polyunsaturated fatty acids than modern vegetable oils, the amount found in grass-fed tallow is much lower and similar to that found in the coconut products that dominate the traditional diets of Pacific Islanders, who have been extensively studied and shown to be free of heart disease. This would allow the use of tallow in the context of a mixed diet that includes other foods naturally rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as fatty fish, while still keeping the overall intake of these fatty acids low and similar to that found in successful traditional diets. Grass-fed beef is often promoted as healthy because of a lower saturated fatty acid content. But saturated stearic acid was 36 percent higher in grass-fed beef (17.45 percent versus 12.8 percent). Levels of sixteen-carbon palmitic acid, considered “atherogenic” because in some studies it raises cholesterol levels slightly, were virtually the same in both samples. Thus, in equally fatty cuts of beef, there would be a higher content of saturated fatty acids in the grass-fed beef. In many traditional diets where the fattiest cuts and the fat itself were sought out, intake of these saturates would likely be considerably higher.
@@KARIS1961 This isnt a video about weightloss though, its about reducing our swelling from retaining lymph.. It's extremely painful to live with and we arent here for vanity loss of fat. Ive had both my legs burst open and start leaking from this disease.. If the man's advice has this many testimonials in the comments then I am willing to try the advice. Not sure what credit you have on such topics, but you've already proven you didn't pay attention to the subject matter.
Amazing information! I have noticed conflicting opinions in the comments about what works and what doesn't. If I have learned anything during my studies of this disease, it is that each person has individual needs, symptoms, triggers, and successes (I was diagnosed with Primary Lymphedema over 40 years ago, and was just recently told that it has progressed to include Lipedema). I am so thankful that I have many suggestions from various people about what works--I can work with my PT and primary doctor to figure out what works best for my own body. If one way or food plan doesn't work, I can try another. Thank you to everyone that has posted their successes and failures--I'll keep plugging along to figure out what works for me!
He has been mostly over the target, at recommending soy and lentils for argenine right after his gut permeability information. Soy is an inflammatory food, and legumes such as lentils and beans have slimy lectin, a bio-film that also inflames the lining if the small intestine and kills good gut bacteria. And BTW, gluten is a PROTEIN, not a highly refined carbohydrate. Whole grain is the problem and why gluten gets the bad wrap (pun intended) because of the outer grain shell. You can have vital wheat protein WITHOUT the grain that encases it! GRAIN is the carbohydrate and all grains at this point, have been genetically modified which we do not have the natural, God-given enzymes to breakdown. In fact, our body does not recognize these hybrid monsters in the gut, and THAT'S why we become intolerant and develop allergic reactions. WE MUST BAN ALL GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS AND THROW MONSANTO OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT'S BACK POCKET: THE CORRUPT FDA!
It’s terribly frustrating that foods full of chemicals 🎉continue to be on the market and to be developed. Foods that are poisoning Americans. Some parents are afraid to use their own milk to feed their babies because they hear it’s contaminated. What do they think is in artificial baby food aka formula? From the very beginning our bodies are built with chemicals, products that are made to earn a profit for the corporations that make and sell them.
Yes, there are numerous lobbies that are killing us -- we need to make it IMPOSSIBLE for them to sneak dark money into our politicians' pockets by 1- #FundCampaignsPubliclyOnly and 2- #BanInsiderTradingByCongress. Yep, they all have corporate pals giving them tips to make them millionaires, Legally. THAT'S why they want to be in office, not bc they Care about America, or about people in general, at all. Humongous conflicts of interest. The pols won't even try the above two legislation, why would they want to end the gravy train? Except for our progressive politicians who only take small donations from "ordinary" citizens. That's why both parties, mainstream media all hate & pile on them. They are the Serpicos of gov't.
Hello, my name is Julie-Jeanne and 25 years ago a was attacked and the person crushed my lymphatic seines in my right arm creating a scar tissu preventing the liquide to be drained. Since, I had infections in my arm, constant swelling and difficulty to do certain activities. I saw multiple doctors and because I am not a breast cancer survivor, not no one seems to be able or wanting to help. Please help me, a survovor of domestic abuse.
A good doctor should be able to establish the cause of your lymphedema in the upper arm. IF the scar is so bad and deep so as to obstruct the lymph flow, then may be they should refer you to a surgeon for further assessment and possible treatment? I hope this helps
Your lymphatic system is a system like your circulatory system. However it does not have the valves that push the fluids along like your blood system. It depends on you walking to move the fluids along. Inactivity leads to fluids collecting in the legs.
I am new to my lipodema diagnosis. I also got diagnosed with varicose veins that are underneath my fat. I also have type 2 diabetes. I appreciate you taking the time--over 15 years--studying lipedema and lymphedema. Thank you!
I can relate to the GUT issues, gluten and sugar I am really working on the carbohydrate cravings baked goods and maize meal I have started a fermentation business doing all sorts of fermented foods and drinks hopefully it will assist more people Thank you for this presentation
I have lymphedema and am obese. I am in bad shape. I also have other health issues that may be connected. I am in pain and have suffered for MANY YEARS. I could not find a doctor that knew anything about this...., so I really haven't been appropriately diagnosed plus not getting the right or proper care. 😕
Its not too late though: See a good doctor to make sure there are no causes in your body accounting for your lymphoedema. Only after that you should try out the above remedies. Wish you all the best
I have had a fatty liver for several years. The last couple of years, I have developed edema in the legs, but much more pronounced in the left leg. It has progressed and is following the stages of lymphedema. But when I mentioned lymphedema to my doctor(before it progressed to "stage 2"), he shrugged it off. Sounds like I was right. So now that I have provided my diagnosis, I need to provide myself with a treatment plan if I can. I guess I'll keep giving my doctor thousands of dollars though. I don't know. It's a long, lonely, depressing, uncertain road.
The same with me. Keep claiming and professing, God’s promise that he is our provider. He has lead us this far against the enemy’s attack and assured us we have the victory thru our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏
docs hardly know zip about lymphedema.. eat foods that are anti inflammatory to you, keep moving (I swim) , I take many herbal teas and plant supplements that are diuretic (Burdock root being a key one along with ginger, turmeric, dandelion root .) drink gobs of it and water... keep researching .. check out LE&RN ,,, and other lymph care vlogs... you teach the docs..
@@bradh6185 That and I find docs belief systems get formed as they go through med school and so what is missing from med school is not considered "important" ... big mistake in our health system...
Ive never had this before but …Weeks after pacemaker surgery I now have it. It’s a lymphatic circulatory thing. I suspect my lymph system was compromised during surgery - not that anyone is going to admit that. But heck it’s a risk so they should just add it to the risk list. And get on with fixing it. But no - I have to push for a diagnosis that is obvious!!
Keto diet took care of it for me. I started getting bat wings and squishy cellulite when I was 12, and I grew up in a healthy household, we ate all homemade food, low fat, very little sugar. I became an exercise fiend at age 12, always dieted/ starved myself, under ate and over exercised. I finally went keto in my late 20s and the fat evaporated and I was a solid size 2-4 for about 15 years until life changing injuries happened. My exercise almost disappeared and I got sloppy about my eating and the bat wings came back. I have all of the co-symptoms: severe pcos and extremely high estrogen, also since I was about 12. I’ve had lots of systemic infections with swollen lymph nodes all over my body from childhood until I went keto. I’m finally getting more exercise again after 6 years of PT, doing more fasting, hoping to be normal again.
What a wealth of information. Thank you for the all of the time and energy spent to share this. This information is motivation to make better choices for myself. You have helped me more than you know. God bless you!
I will never ever advise you to take methotrexate. Try natural treatment I have arthritis lupus sojgren syndrome thyroid, I have some bad days but I don't eat gluten sugar no soda no caffeine I changed everything which I use to love ❤️. I took some herbal medicine juice every single day atlesst 12 oz and follow healthy lifestyle and I went to a good to doctor after 2 weeks and check my levels. I realize i was seen huge difference .it's my suggestion I am not a medical expert but it helps me .Since i started the herbal medication Am thanking Dr oninialo47 for his advice and being there for me and my family. You can as we reach his email: Droninialo47@gmail.com WhatsApp number (+23490037613209)
The only thing that really helped me was liposuction. (I am an exceptional healthy eater and used to exercise 4-5 times a week but nothing worked.) Now, 10 kg lighter, I’m feeling much better and even the swelling due to lymphedema decreased
Cheryl Lynn my doctor said that research suggests it might be a hormonal issue , plus it’s hereditary....we just weren’t that lucky. Keeping my fingers crossed for your surgery. It’s so worth it!
Vegetable oils (corn, canola, safflower, sunflower, etc) are PUFA, polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, are the bad long chains. Animal fats and coconut oil and palm oil are short and medium chain. They are good (butter too)
@@playdoe3275 of you do even the most basic of searches you will understand that dietary fat does NOT clog us up! That is a myth made by people who are entirely ignorant about physiology. Carbs and sugars are what clog us up as fats.
such a great presentation. thank you so much on sharing all this information. I think besides diet, intermittent fasting and weight exercise can help a lot too.
Gonna have to watch again and take notes. I'm always hopeful when I find info on Lymphedema because for so long, I was misdiagnosed and then couldn't find hardly anything about it.
Omega 3 fats come from pasture based animals. And mine are NOT skinny. They are huge compared to the squab they sell in the store. They are heritage breeds. They eat bugs and also get a full nutrient pellet and vitamin D and electrolytes in their water.
Learn more about native grown animals on westonaprice dot org. And Look up Joel Salatin and Justin Rhoades on YT who have pasture based farming of many species.
Can Helicobacter pylori bacteria be a significant contributor to lymphedema? After having a bleeding stomach ulcer and found to have H. pylori, I completed the triple antibiotic irradication treatment. I've since learned that H.pylori is associated with all kinds of inflammatory medical conditions. I've noticed my prior chronic cough condition improved significantly ( I could stop the various prescribed medications ). I've noticed my chronic recurring Stage one pedal edema also has improved. Is there an association of H.pylori bacteria with lymphedema??
@Hugh I think you would do well to repopulate the good intestinal bacteria that your triple antibiotic treatment for H. pylori wiped out. Get a good brand of probiotics with CFU's in the Billions, not millions. Also, don't forget to nurture the good bacteria by feeding them pre-biotics like sauerkraut, kimchee, kefir, yogurt (plain, unsweetened, add your own fruit) and inulin. You might want to do some research on SIBO if restoring your gut bacteria doesn't help. Good luck to you.
For some of us it’s not as simple as “watching your diet”. I have primary lymphedema (left leg) since I was 14. I am now 65. It is well maintained. I do not have any weight problems. Looking at the diet pros and cons... much of the suggested foods such as vegetables, leafy greens, legumes, nuts etc seem fine, except for someone like me who also has systematic nickel sensitivity. I actually can only eat dairy and meat to ensure limitations in ingesting nickel. I did a carnivore diet with some real success, but my cholesterol soared to 446 forcing me to now be on Repatha as the only cholesterol med I can tolerate, and am back to eating vegetables and suffering with chronic itching because of the nickel. I eat no sugar whatsoever, but I do use salt which helps manage my sodium levels flushed out with diuretics for lymphedema. I’m anaphylactic allergic to eggs and fish limiting my diet even further. It’s a fight every day with nutrition, but I am diligent in managing the lymphedema with manual drainage, compression wraps and exercise.
@@mattikarosenthal3298 hello. It is a manual manipulation of the lymphatics through a systematic massage of the key lymphatic drainage areas of the body to stimulate lymph flow. ( think light petting of a cat- not heavy pressure Swedish massage).
manual drainage is whereby pressure is applied on the affected limb to move the lymph fluid away from the limb towards the site of its drainage (ie location of the nearest lymphnodes)
I have the same issue. Started in my arms around 12 yrs old. Terrible nickel allergy and also other metals. I have tried a variety of different diets from carnivore to veganism and none of them did much good. Diet is a small piece of the puzzle. He made way too many generalizations and missed the most important thing is the quality of the food you eat. It needs to be as close to nature as possible. No processing or GMO or pesticides. Same for the meat you eat. The animal needs to have a diet that is natural for them with out processed additives, pesticides, gmos, etc. Nutrition is the tip of the iceberg. Once you get that straight there are a million other things you have to do to reduce symptoms and get healthy. I have e been working on it for 50 yrs and still haven't achieved it.
Diuretics are bad for lymphedema. I was in them for 10 years and got so sick of getting headaches from them I stopped and didn’t tell the Dr. Come to find out it is terrible for Lymphedema. I got compression leg pumps from my vein Dr and with use 2X a day for an hour. I used to gain up to 21lbs of fluid bug now it stays around 5lbs to 12lbs. I’m in Mi and there’s really no one who knows much about it. I used to get cellulitis 4 to 6 times a year and now it’s 1 to 2. Can’t wear compressions because they cut my skin and it gets infected. I did find micro massaging Bioflec legging that really help. Lots of PT and walking. I also use a big yoga ball and lean my weight on it as I do squats against the wall but now that I have to get hip surgery that’s a no go right know. Something you might want to try is not eating past 7pm. Hang in there I know it’s hard. I keep getting down to 160lbs all to have it sabotage in 2 weeks and end up at 180lbs with a bad flare up.
Yes. The problem is with the GMO grains that have been sprayed with pesticides that the animals eat. We should also not eat them. That is why gluten is also a problem. Basically what he is saying is to eat as close to nature as possible. Stay away from anything that is processed (ie: seed oil) or any animals that eats things that are not a natural part of their diet. He missed talking about foods that have been enriched. Very dangerous to your health. You basically have to make all of your own meals. If you're not used to doing this, it is a big challenge in the beginning. The thing he doesn't talk about is that diet is only a small piece of the puzzle.
I don't think any of us get enough physical stimulation, especially those of us who have limited mobility. In my humble opinion, we should seriously consider purchasing a long handled massaging tool that can be used daily from feet to neck in order to stimulate and increase blood flow and circulation.
I'm sure that would help. I live in Asia and have bee getting Asian massages which has helped me stay at a stage 1. Although after my menopause things swelled up a little bit more but now through diet it is being reduced again. If you can get some reflexology massage or a foot reflexology machine, this will help also.
I think a rebounder is good to get lymph and circulation moving.Barbara O’Neil has a video on TH-cam called HIIT Exercise Barbara O’Neil. In it she explains about the benefits of the rebounder.It’s wonder for those of us with mobility limitations. Only 4 minutes to start out with. I do 4 minutes 2 or 3 times a day. I just started a few weeks ago. Also another TH-camr that helps with lymph is Imis Bigan yoga. Bigan yoga is all about moving lymph. Please check these out I’m sure they will be helpful 😊
@@wendyluber4309 It has been over two years. Yes, I have lymphedema. My right arm is larger than my left. I have had my feet so swollen that it is difficult to see the toes. Yes, people say that once it goes so far, one cannot reduce it. I believe the body is always trying to heal itself. I took a 1/2 cup of water with a tablespoon of food grade diatomaceous earth. When a doctor wanted to wrap my swollen limbs, he took an image of my arteries. The food grade DE had cleared all the plague. But before you do DE, you must get your vitamin C levels up or you could bleed to death. Plague is an artery scab. Juice an organic lemon, best from your own tree, and mix with water....drink every morning. Give it a month before you do the DE. Ascorbic acid is not vitamin c. But DE helped the lymphedema but not a cure at all. The prolotherapy has been permanent. I would like to try it on my arms which means my shoulders and elbows. I did the prolotherapy because my knee joints had problems. I had successfully used prolotherapy on two children. That healing was also permanent. That is why I tried prolotherapy for my knee joint problems. I never expected the cure of my swollen lower legs. There needs to be a study of prolotherapy and lymphedema. Doctors are amazed that I have no swelling from my knees to my toe tips. Everything else is still swollen. The price of prolotherapy ranges widely, mostly price gouging. Ask for a set price up front...don't accept the per syringe price. The naturopath that did mine ran a special for both knees at $500 but then added an office charge on top of that. You have to get a final cost quote.
Fred, thank you for all the great information and the quick response. I am 75, probably have had this a few years but misdiagnosed as edema and wanting to give me diuretics which don’t help of course. I have it in my abdomen to lower legs in first stages so last year was the first help I have received and just learning all about it and using a compression machine which helps some. Thank you for all the great information and I hope you are able to continue to lessen the effects of the disease on you. God bless you!
@@wendyluber4309 I I am 70. I stayed at a doctor friend's home for a week. Planning to prove that I overeat, she wrote down everything she saw me eat and had made an inventory of all food in the house, including what I brought with me. She was 5 foot tall and weighed 100 pounds. I am 5 foot 10 inches and heavy. She concluded that I eat less than she does and so she could not understand why I am so heavy. Once my doctor understands that I do not overeat, they give up and say that they don't know how to help me. As I said, I did not do prolotherapy for swelling. It was serendipity surprise. All my labs are perfect. So I am not sickly, etc.
Back in 2017 I come down with weeping Lipedema, which cause me to be hospitalized for 2 months I got septic, almost died & now I still suffer the disease & really doctors know .knwing about it, in the hospital I also contactic C-Diff & in rehab my life is a horror I hate this disease no cure for it, & doctors care less about you it is very depressing
![It's NOT Obesity, it's Lipedema [with Siobhan Huggins]](/img/n.gif)
I had lipodema all my life and never understood why I was so heavy in my hips and thighs I literally was two sizes bigger on my hips.
Long story short I asked my GP who diagnosed me in 2022.
I read sugar and gluten as a problem so I gave them up and changed to a Carnivore Diet (loads of vids Dr Ken Berry, Dr sean Baker, Beef and Butter Gal) and over eight months it reduced and I dropped two and a half stone and two trouser sizes. Im size 14 UK which ive not been since my teens I’m now in my sixties!!! I feel and look so much younger with way better energy levels.
No sugar cravings after a few days.
Lifelong clinical depression gone!
I hope this helps someone. If I can do it anyone can! x
On carnivore diet.... did you run into problems with dramatic increase in your cholesterol ?
@@marybethleib8286 no its fine drs are surprised!
Congratulations! I am doing keto and it has made a difference in the leg swelling. I try to do intermittent fasting 16/8, sometimes 18/6. I'm wondering if I do longer states of autophagy if it will help get rid of the bad fat cells/connective tissue disorder. Do you fast?
@@marybethleib8286 Stop with the high cholesterol BS.. It's people that keep pushing the fallacy that high cholesterol is bad.. Your liver makes 75% cholesterol and is needed for the body to function.. There have been new studies done that show high cholesterol was NEVER BAD!.. It was pushed on us by a guy named Ansel Keys.. no clinical studies were done to prove cholesterol was bad.. He thought eating fat makes you fat and clog your arteries.. Go watch Dr Ken Berry about what cholesterol is or the other doctors on here.. Go research.. There are still some websites still pushing the lie about cholesterol is so bad.. They want to keep you on those meds..
❤thank you for the encouragement ❤
I have lipodema (only stage 1) and have greatly reduced swelling and problems through bike riding for exercise (1-1.5 hours several times a week, if not daily), and intermittent fasting 16 hours a day. I also stopped red meat and almost never eat chicken. I eat whole foods for the most part (occasional cheating on chips or a homemade cookie or sweet roll seems to be OK as long as it's rare). Never eat processed food. I lost 15 pounds without "dieting", I just eat well, don't eat after 7pm and fast until 11am., then I eat as much as I want. I have olive oil in my diet, eat lots of vegetables, beans, nuts, and fruits. I make homemade granola with healthy fats and a small amount of honey or maple syrup (it doesn't taste sweet, and I've gotten used to it because I make it crunchy and toasty and eat with apples and berries). I eased into all of the above over several years, and I don't think anyone can jump in and change heaven and earth and have it work. Begin by increasing the good and decreasing the harmful. Feeling good and being healthy reinforces good eating. Don't judge yourself, just try to do better the next day!
sounds like you have found your non inflammatory sweet spot!
Thanks for sharing! I highly suspect I have stage one as well. Slim and athletic except for abnormal accumulation in thighs hips and butt. Im mostly a plant based eater so I'm happy to hear your approach to diet is working. I'll have to try cycling on top of my strength training regimen.
My legs swells after long journey, is it lipodema ?
@@lalitahalawar2198 not necessarily, could be a temporary swelling that resolves itself eventually, but can be warning sign for a few things... if you ever need t get a surgery involving removing a lymph node, let them know as you might easily get it.. good news there are tests they can give you before hand to see how susceptible you are and dont let them wave it away.. Other vascular problems also cause edema (swelling ) you also may have other things that need attention, and lastly there is a lot of undiagnosed lymphedema out there.. a lot.. some people have it for years and dont know it so if you have had a already a lymph node removed.. if you are swelling every day and it never quite resolves .. that is a real sign...in any case I would when traveling move and jump and shake your limbs as often as you can.
This has been a blessing Patricia. Thank you!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Chuck Erlich & this Channel 🙏🏼
I watched this a year ago and followed all the diet advice given plus daily lymphatic massage & exercise.
I also used skin brushing, gua sha and short hot to cold showers over the year.
I am utterly astonished at the results.
I’ve had Lipedema since puberty mainly on my legs-mid thigh, knee, calf and ankle.
No matter how slim my upper body, hips & Butt, my legs have always been like columns with no definition, fat at inner knees, shins, dorsal foot etc. I also had inner elbow fat
Not only have I lost 26lb in weight this year, its gone from my knees & calves, shins & elbows and my limbs for the first time in my life look “Normal Shaped”
My lovely Lipodema Friends, this is TOUGH to follow.
But it WORKS!!!
Ps. I stopped drinking alcohol completely and would recommend the same to others to get my results ie don’t just “reduce” alcohol. It’s so worth it.
Xx
None of this worked for me.
No 2 lipedema patients are the same.
Great you found something that worked for you.
Did you do the kefir and yogurt? He says no dairy in one part but in another recommends kefir and yogurt. Confusing.
@@ciel1271 Yes I did. Along with Kombucha, and many other fermented vegetables. I focussed very much on the gut microbiome.
Kefir & yoghurt are different to “Dairy” in general as they feed and change the gut microbiome. They nurture the Lymphatic system by reducing harmful gut bacteria and increasing good bacteria.
Having a healthy gut microbiome also has stabilised my Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis, and works for all AutoImmune diseases.
It’s incredibly powerful for good health and much cutting edge research is being done on the gut/brain relationship.
Faecal transplants are being used from healthy individuals to sick ones to cure various Chronic Illnesses- an icky but exciting new area of medicine that is showing incredible results.
It is possibly the future of medicine.
If you are interested, just read more about the Gut Microbiome as many books & free info is available online
Good luck & good health to you my friend

@@johannakatharina9373 May I suggest adding Vitamin D supplements plus probiotics & eating fermented products like Kefir/Yoghurt/Sauerkraut/Kombucha/ fermented soy beans and making your own fermented vegetables.

How lond did it took to see the results? Thanks
I think you changed my life and I will never forget you. I have EDS that got to the worst stage I could imagine. I cured it but when I slowly came back I realized it was lymph related and you’re the first doctor I’ve come across to acknowledge it. Treating it as lymphedema has changed my life.
This is the third video on the topic i am watching (first two being of Dr Mrs Karen Herbst) and i am looking into this topic as a computer science engineer but i have also personal reasons to watch and translate - i am just reading about mastocytes... and found out :-0 to my surprise that mastocytes were found out by... Mr.... Paul Ehrlich in 1876... here Prof Chick Ehrlich is speaking - tell me its just a coincidence :) !
Could you kindly share what steps you took?
Eds is a genetic condition. You cant cure it.
All of this advice is perfect and right on point. I was born with primary lymphedema and wasn't diagnosed until I was four (4) I'm 50 now. Yes eating healthy and exercising is the best way that I have been able to maintain it and have lived a fun and active life. As a child I had experimental surgery because it was so rare,my family took me to many doctors. 1 included widening of the veins on the tops of my feet which eliminated a lot of the swelling on one side 70% and decreased it by 40% on the other. My legs do still swell, especially around that time of the month. Investing in a good shoes and keeping your feet clean and if you can pedicured. Lotion is A+ good for the skin and for getting massaged. I do my 6 zones and pedi myself. Feeling pampered, especially when you aren't sure what your legs will look like through the end of day is a blessing. Bottom line eating right will be normal eating. Promise you. Hopes this helps you feel better and stay positive.Stay beautiful and strong.
Milk thistle and cutting out all meat and dairy .
Add milk thistle to aid your liver add sodium bicarbonate 1/4 to 1/2 tsp to a gallon of water make your own double o pills from milk thistle this will change your life instantly . No meat for a week you will instantly see results .

I do manual lymphadema drainage exercise daily ever since I had stage 4 breast cancer and had bilateral mastectomy. The manual lymphedema drainage exercises helped me reduced retention and swelling. I don arm compression daily and have started on Rebounder exercise recently. Rebounder, trampoline are good for lymphatic drainage as well. Blessings to all.
Good for you. I do not even have a rebounder. Is that a small trampoline? Did you get it on Amazon? Do you jump up & down on this ? Do you have have something to hold on to? Send me a picture of yours if that’s easy to do. I wish they had one at my gym.

Why are you all being mean to Patty Donovan? Those were legitimate questions about the trampoline and rebounder. Some pieces of equipment have multiple uses and some terms refer to multiple similar pieces of equipment.
Yes, you can’t send pics on TH-cam comments but you can send links and either way, there are nicer ways to let people know things they don’t know.
This lecture is what I needed to hear. After a long travel day from US to the UK my legs and feet are so swollen I was forced on day 2 of my trip to stay in bed flat on my back waiting for the swelling to go down in my legs and feet. I’ve been suffering from peripheral neuropathy for several years without a satisfactory explanation.
The high fat keto diet for 4 months caused me to get elevated cholesterol and triglycerides (319 & 230) and eventually lower leg and feet swelling. I was eating a VERY high fat diet. Roasted fatty pork belly and wings with the skin, lots of home made mayo with avocado oil, butter, ghee, coconut oil, nuts, avocado, I was chowing down on any fats I got my hands on. it was delicious, but it wasn't good for me.
I was DX'd with lymphedema yesterday and will get corrective surgery on poor veins in my lower legs. Was glad to find this video.
Beans are a great way to get rid of fat soluble toxins in the GI tract.
If you've been eating a high fat diet, I think eating beans daily will lower your cholesterol rather fast.
And this time I think I'll do a plant based diet, with eggs or fish 2x a week because it could save your life.
Most of the supermarket meat that is 'NOT ORGANIC' are in themselves 'TOXIC': because they are loaded with inflammatory omega 6 fats. I presume this will explain the cause of your condition
Not all fat is good for you. Nuts, virgin olive oil, avocado and such fat sources won’t increase your bad cholesterol. The leading cause of high cholesterol is over-consumption of fatty meats and seed oils. What you did is often called the “bad version of keto” yes it qualifies as ketogenic but it has such flaws. I have been doing keto for the last 50 days and am planning to do so for a few months but I am almost certain that my cholesterol levels are not going to be affected (I had bloodwork done before starting and knew my cholesterol wasn’t an issue)
@@josephrz6230 beans are super high in carbs which also increases calories. It is recommended to eat them in moderation and take fiber pills.
Just like anything its all about balance. Were you eating organic?

My friend has this and there seem to be no medical people who know much about it. No one has ever told her about the fattty liver connection. I have forwarded this to her. I was also interested in the various nutriants/supplements. I'm big on supplements and they have made a difference in my own health. Hope you can find some relief from this heartbreaking condition.
I live in Oregon the Pacific Northwest and I cannot find any one that specializes in Lympadema. I have only been referred to physical therapy for massage of the limp system.

Thank you! I also have wholebody type after cancer surgery
I have lipodema, recently found out. I am almost 100% carnivore. I have been diagnosed with other issues fibromyalgia, autoimmune, migraines, inflammation which was ridiculous. Since on carnivore since April 24 almost all of my muscle weakness has disappeared, no headaches,energy high. Fat deposits on my legs and arms going down lost 30 lbs gained back 10 because of my fruit and hormone regulation issues. It’s getting better though. 🔥🤷♀️The comment from this doctor about limiting the meat and fat intake??? Is he kidding? I PROMISE YOU ALL, increase your fat and beef intake!!!! Your body craves the nutrients in beef! Carnivore videos are necessary to heal Any Disease. It is simple science
Thank you!
You answered my burning question regarding going Carnivore. Thanks! I have an issue that makes my situation more complicated; I’m a T-10-12, complete paraplegic, since 2010. I tried strict carnivore for only 5 days, and no lie, I felt better to had since I fell and got paralyzed in 2010! However, I had to open my big mouth and mention what I was doing to my visiting nurse, that sees me 3 days per week for wound issues.(long story) Anyway, she said, “Oh no, I wouldn’t do that!” So, I immediately went back to eating what I felt bad on before again. No lie, my first meal, I felt horrible! I’m getting ready to commit to Carnivore again, only, I’m keeping it to myself! I’m keeping an accurate medical log during this. Pray for me please friends!❤Thank you, everyone!

@@DeborahWilcox-d4w absolutely! 2.5 years carnivore here and things continue to improve.
Absolutely fantastic.
This is what all our Drs / GPs / health care workers & schools in the UK should be teaching their patients / kids. As part of their most basic duty of care . They should be drilling this info into us all, because if we all had good regular advice from our GPs ect, about improving gut health & tell people better "WHY" they need to cut down on bad stuff because of its inflammatory effects on the body, then we'd all / most of us would be so much better off for it. PLUS it would help ease & save our NHS & all its related cost & quality related problems.
Why would you think doctors would be so stupid as to give advice on healthy eating? That would eventually put them out of business, or at the very least reduce their salaries drastically. Of course they aren’t going to volunteer to do that. They love to stay rich making money off others’ misery. All of the idiots out there that put their trust and faith in the health care system like it’s actually there to help you. Stupidity and gullibility like that doesn’t deserve to be saved. So, the entire process is self-fulfilled poetic justice. 97% of humanity are just braindead zombies following whatever the person in front of them is doing. It will not change, and humanity as we know it is on its way out. And thank god, because we are an embarrassment to the universe.
Those with Lipedema need to look into the carnivore diet. So many women are getting amazing results, including me. I’m still a work in progress but I’m gradually working it all out. Keeping insulin low seems to be of massive benefit.
Worst advice ever 😂😂😂
@@vanessahollenbach85 you've obviously never tried it...
Thank for this!!! I’m about to start carnivore. Keto didn’t work enough for me.
@@vanessahollenbach85Why? People who are suffering are ready to do anything, because doctors fail and pills don't work! A diet is an easiest way to cure. Carnivore diet is an elimination diet which is known to reduce inflammation. It's great for those who want to find out if it's carbs which cause all this swelling.
Even cardiologists say, one can try a / any diet for 8 weeks and see if it helps, if not- one is free to stop it.
Yea you are right the carnivore diet is doing great .
I love his comment to the catering at the event!
I've been doing high fat keto and become so swollen when I eat, that to move is painful and I'm an active person-moving usually eases the pain. Thank you for teaching us what is happening and how we can heal in detail. I'm so grateful we can have free access to this information! There's hope to get our mobility back and to let go of all the toxins. You are all Godsends for all the work and research you do, that actually makes a difference. And then making it possible to share this info. ❤
I don't know if I had lymodema buy I have lymphoma and 9 months ago I was 60 lbs heavier than present. I cut calories to between 800 to 1000 daily had two small meals 4 eggs whites, spices unsweetened cold brew and a chicken breast or boneless pork a few hrs later. No more food, no treats, no days off and logging my food. I deflated from Size 18 to size 12. I have 20 lbs to go to be standard weight. I do think we all eat wayyy too much in north America.
I agree...we eat to much and the wrong food❣ Congratulation and good luck. 🍀💖
@sonjagatto9981 thank u ... since a year ago I've been able to increase my caloric intake to 1609 - 1700 a day which is much less than avg ppl eat and I've maintained weight, and fully satiated. I thank God for his help.
Thank you for this video! I learned about causes of lymphedema I’d never heard before. I’ve had 4 sentinel lymph nodes removed with a breast cancer lumpectomy and have berm terrified of getting lymphedema ever since. You’ve calmed my fears quite a bit as 10 years ago I switched to mostly vegan Whole Foods plant diet with plenty of big green salads, green smoothies and seeds, berries and beans. Occasionally eat animal products as a condiment, unfortunately desserts are a downfall on occasion as are tortilla chips at a restaurant. But my diet by far is more healthy than unhealthy. I also have regularly had at least 12 hours between dinner and breakfast for years. Funny how the most important things are under our own control snd doctors and even physical therapists don’t have a clue about diet being a major factor in this!! I’m grateful. Thank you.
Thank you doctor I have gained weight since Mastectomy 2021 3 wks ago my right arm started to swell I will certainly change my diet go vegan way
Thank you so much, been fighting lymphedema for many years. My doctors do not know how to treat it except with stockings, which i cannot wear. You have given me hope where i thought there was none. Thank you, thank you, thank you! God bless you!
Hello I have lymphedema in my legs . I too did not have any luck with socks. But wrapping the with a thin foam.then over that long stretch bandages like aces bandages .whip first one way the the second counterclockwise so basically one goes clockwise the other counterclockwise like 4:30 in the morning here. you also need to see a vascular surgeon. I wouldn’t have surgery no way, but they are very helping in getting you wraps. You can also go with a Velcro wrap you have to be fitted for that we have auto insurance, so basically it pays for most of it except for the foam or is bandages. If you can afford it, some not all physical therapist know how to treat us oddly I went to Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan like four times. No one new what it Was. was a real nightmare. He had a home care nurse tell me it was because I ate broth one day and then I got lymphedema the next. I was miserable at the time and my sweet, sweet husband, who is kind, compassionate, loving,. when the nurse was ready to leave, my husband, Alex score deserve to the door, and he paused for a minute and told her don’t ever come back here. She was nasty to begin with. wish you all the luck in the world in God’s mighty blessings. Margie

If you purchase or raise livestock this way you have much healthier meats, eggs and dairy. If they are mob grazed on diverse pasture, even better.

Sorry, it is NOT really about eating fat, it is about the inability to process junky oxidized fat (liquid oils used at high temperatures for example). It binds with sugary carbs and creates havoc in your gut and colon. It really is an insulin resistance, sugar and carb issue, NOT a fat issue. Intermittent dieting (rotating OMAD, 16:8 and 20:4), Autophagy fasting (alternate day fasting of cycles of 24 to 36 hrs) and Gluten and Dairy-free clean keto diet with the meals you do eat - it makes it go away by 90%. It is not the fat you are eating, it is the fact you are eating sugar with BAD fats that respond poorly in your body and prevent your body from processing the food, and then you bloat and that bloat has to go somewhere. Eat-in moderation, but STOP eating sugar and excessive carbs (live on less than 100 grams of carbs a day if you exercise and ONLY 50 grams a day if you don't). And healthy fats -avocado and coconut, grass-fed butter, and animal fat that are raised to eat grass and biologically appropriate diets. You will nearly cure it. For a complete cure, you need Liposuction and lymph drainage but NO ONE wants to admit that because then insurance is going to have to pay for it.
This is so interesting what you said
I could do without dairy but cannot drink coffee without milk or cream, cannot use non-dairy creamers because of their content. Do you have any suggestion for me? Thanks
@@PaulineHendricks-wt9oc I'm not the OP, so apologies for butting in... but, most people do consider small amounts of dairy to be part of the carnivore diet, which is basically a stricter keto diet. If dairy is causing your issues to worsen, I would personally stop drinking coffee (it'll suck for a while, but if it's benefitting your health...). But if it's not causing you any trouble, I wouldn't worry about a little bit of milk in your coffee. Ultimately, everyone's gut is different and you just need to find what works for you. I'd say, from a keto perspective, cutting down your carbs/sugar is much more important than completely cutting out dairy! Obviously, I don't know if that's still true from a lipodema perspective, though.
Oh! One more thing. I could be wrong, but I think the sugar in dairy comes from lactose. You can get lactose-free milk. So that might be something to look into?
How do you know it can go away by 90% from that? Did you do that and manage to get rid of lipedema?

Hello Olga 👋💚
You want the name of his book. It’s easy - the name of this presenter is right at the opening of this video. Chuck Eherich. Put his name into Amazon search and several of his books will pop up. All have “Lymphedema” in the title.
It was only when I removed all plants and ate fully carnivore that my T2D reversed and lymphoedema was cured. Age 64 with excellent labs first time in 30 yrs.
Are you serious? No veg and only meat curex uour lymphoedema? Then your comment shouldn't be that small. Please elaborate on that.
Yes! I'm so glad to see your comment. I've eaten a carnivore diet for almost two months, and my lipedema is going away. I often hear the fluid emptying right under my skin. It's the first time since puberty that my stomach is flattening.
Please, please tell me more!
@@LindaMz24come on, you’re using hyperbole, “right?”
I am so happy, I came across this video today. I know it's the information, I have been searching for. I took notes on everything and I plan to follow his advice. I thank you for this wonderful video.
Very smart
Restaurants all use bad (and cheap) vegetable oil, even even expensive ones. When I stopped eating out due to Covid, I suddenly started losing weight, although I ate the same food at home. Just eating out on weekends was enough to cause problems, because of restaurant vegetable oils.
Precisely. But unfortunately many do not realise this as the cause & the same applies to supermarket ready meals
The pandemic helped me clean up my diet too. After keto, as I was doing it eating oils with abandon, raised my total cholesterol, I cut out all oil. I know now that seed oils are the worst, but I feel better just getting my oil from the whole foods they come in. And, of course, I pay attention to avoiding foods high in Omega-6 or oxalates, the latter of which is hard on the kidneys. Congratulations on your magnificent success! Best wishes on your journey.
This was a very informative talk with practical and adaptable options presented. Much appreciated! Thank you for making this content available to the public!
Very good advice will change my diet because I do have lymphedema. thank you Chuck.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been doing Dr Eric Berg’s healthy keto, OMAD and 2,3,4 day fasting for 3 months. I had stage 2 Lipedema, am 5.0’ and started at 70kgs. In that time I have been only eating the suggested Lipedema benefitting foods in this video and lost 5kgs. The last 7 days I started taking L-arganine and Diosmin supplements, (these were the only ones I found available to Australia) and I have lost 3kgs! What is absolutely thrilling for me is it has all come off my lipo legs. I no longer have that start of lipo fat protruding from my hips and my legs are starting to take shape. Thank you so much! After 40 years of trying every possible diet, herb, training, therapy... I finally have something that works.
I'm so pleased for you, and as I too have lipoedema, stage 2-3, I'm interested in your success. Interestingly, I was taking L-arginine in a sleep supplement about 10 years ago and I found that it slowed the progression of my lippy...although I wasn't actually aware of that until just now being attributed to L-arginine...wow moment! I shall be looking into supplementing my diet with that.
@@CelticSpirit7 I stopped taking these for a month cause I was taking too many supplements and doing prolonged fasting that affected my kidney function. I got that all sorted and my Dr has okayed me to take the Lipedema supplements again. When I stopped taking them I didn’t lose any weight. As soon as I started taking them again the weight started coming off again. Also recently I reduced my fat intake to only 30 grams a day, no coffee, minimal dairy, only 3 Brazil nuts per day and really losing weight fast. Doing keto Maria Emmerich way
Love Dr. Berg. His work helped me lose 25 pounds since 1/1/21. No idea why I have lymphedema and feet/LL still swell and the only correlation I have noticed is its worse when the weather is hot (even if I don’t go outside) that tells me there may be a barometric component to it. I have barometric vertigo and am highly sensitive overall. Who knows, I’ll try the protocol and see if it helps.
Best to you in your progress against this most annoying of conditions.
Can you recommend a brand of Diosmin that does not contain all of the other ingredients (ie horse chestnut, other herbs, etc). I just want the pure Diosmin. Also, how much /dosage of diosmin do you take per day? Thanks for your help!! Greatly appreciate it.
@@AxelSituation I couldn’t find one that ships to Australia. I take 2 early morning and 2 evening. The other stuff in diosmin complex is recommended to take by chuck Ehrlich to help with Lipedema.

I feel so much better since I started eating lots of vegetables and decreased protein intake.
The advice to minimize fats goes contrary to Gillian Szollos's very high fat ketogenic diet that she has found helpful. Avoiding all the processed foods and sugars is consistent and important. I find that alcohol, sodium and pretty much any carbs trigger my lipedema.
gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html check out Dr Price's work, This is not the whole book, You'll have to get the hard copy for the second half of the book with all his charts and maps of soils. He's really the one that started all the keto stuff before Atkins even, because people used to know how to prepare their foods. and they used tohave a wisdom as to what was best for development and growth and health. These people ate up to 80% of their calories in animal fats. Also www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/know-your-fats/the-great-con-ola/ and more detail on the Skinny on Fats; www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/know-your-fats/the-skinny-on-fats/ Mary Enig got her PhD on fats research at the U of MD, and for the complete chart of the fatty acids and their lengths, her book Know Your Fats is a good one.
@@whisperingsage Saturated fats are good. I think due to the body's problem metabolizing fat it has to be somewhat restricted. If eating meat it must be 100% grass fed grass finished to get the lower inflammation causing omega 3s.
I think he is saying avoid long chain triglycerides (vegetable oils etc)...this ones are the ones you have to avoid. the Keto diet is based on Short chain and medium chain triglycerides the good fats that are absorbed in the small intestines without the employment of the lymph nodes.
A specific keto diet has greatly decreased my symptoms.
@@whisperingsage Yeah I tend to do better with animal fats and lower carbs but some people really can also find a non inflammatory diet with this method.. I think both agree on the sugar being the culprit and would be interesting to do tests showing that the sugars are the part of the equation...and whole foods with intermittent fasting works depending on personal metabolic and will have to be customized.

Just more of an incentive to keep up with my current eating plan.
Beef tallow is not a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, with only 3.45 percent in grain-fed and 1.9 percent of the total in grass-fed.
Thus, while even grain-fed beef tallow has a much lower content of polyunsaturated fatty acids than modern vegetable oils, the amount found in grass-fed tallow is much lower and similar to that found in the coconut products that dominate the traditional diets of Pacific Islanders, who have been extensively studied and shown to be free of heart disease. This would allow the use of tallow in the context of a mixed diet that includes other foods naturally rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as fatty fish, while still keeping the overall intake of these fatty acids low and similar to that found in successful traditional diets.
Grass-fed beef is often promoted as healthy because of a lower saturated fatty acid content. But saturated stearic acid was 36 percent higher in grass-fed beef (17.45 percent versus 12.8 percent). Levels of sixteen-carbon palmitic acid, considered “atherogenic” because in some studies it raises cholesterol levels slightly, were virtually the same in both samples. Thus, in equally fatty cuts of beef, there would be a higher content of saturated fatty acids in the grass-fed beef. In many traditional diets where the fattiest cuts and the fat itself were sought out, intake of these saturates would likely be considerably higher.

He has been mostly over the target, at recommending soy and lentils for argenine right after his gut permeability information. Soy is an inflammatory food, and legumes such as lentils and beans have slimy lectin, a bio-film that also inflames the lining if the small intestine and kills good gut bacteria. And BTW, gluten is a PROTEIN, not a highly refined carbohydrate. Whole grain is the problem and why gluten gets the bad wrap (pun intended) because of the outer grain shell. You can have vital wheat protein WITHOUT the grain that encases it! GRAIN is the carbohydrate and all grains at this point, have been genetically modified which we do not have the natural, God-given enzymes to breakdown. In fact, our body does not recognize these hybrid monsters in the gut, and THAT'S why we become intolerant and develop allergic reactions. WE MUST BAN ALL GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS AND THROW MONSANTO OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT'S BACK POCKET: THE CORRUPT FDA!

Your lymphatic system is a system like your circulatory system. However it does not have the valves that push the fluids along like your blood system. It depends on you walking to move the fluids along. Inactivity leads to fluids collecting in the legs.

I have had a fatty liver for several years. The last couple of years, I have developed edema in the legs, but much more pronounced in the left leg. It has progressed and is following the stages of lymphedema. But when I mentioned lymphedema to my doctor(before it progressed to "stage 2"), he shrugged it off. Sounds like I was right. So now that I have provided my diagnosis, I need to provide myself with a treatment plan if I can. I guess I'll keep giving my doctor thousands of dollars though. I don't know. It's a long, lonely, depressing, uncertain road.
The same with me. Keep claiming and professing, God’s promise that he is our provider. He has lead us this far against the enemy’s attack and assured us we have the victory thru our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏

Ive never had this before but …Weeks after pacemaker surgery I now have it. It’s a lymphatic circulatory thing. I suspect my lymph system was compromised during surgery - not that anyone is going to admit that. But heck it’s a risk so they should just add it to the risk list. And get on with fixing it. But no - I have to push for a diagnosis that is obvious!!
Im hurting so bad im binge watching videos to find something that helps!😢😢😢
Have you tried cutting back on sugar , breads , pastas , any type carbs? That causes major inflammation and pain to worsen
@@tcooper802 I've been on Carnivore for 25 days. Some swelling is going down. I guess I need to give it a few more months
@@inthekitchenwithangelaleeI am currently doing keto . I have done a similar plan before and it helped tremendously.
Keto diet took care of it for me. I started getting bat wings and squishy cellulite when I was 12, and I grew up in a healthy household, we ate all homemade food, low fat, very little sugar. I became an exercise fiend at age 12, always dieted/ starved myself, under ate and over exercised. I finally went keto in my late 20s and the fat evaporated and I was a solid size 2-4 for about 15 years until life changing injuries happened. My exercise almost disappeared and I got sloppy about my eating and the bat wings came back. I have all of the co-symptoms: severe pcos and extremely high estrogen, also since I was about 12. I’ve had lots of systemic infections with swollen lymph nodes all over my body from childhood until I went keto. I’m finally getting more exercise again after 6 years of PT, doing more fasting, hoping to be normal again.
Brilliant Man, thank you Sir
What a wealth of information. Thank you for the all of the time and energy spent to share this. This information is motivation to make better choices for myself. You have helped me more than you know. God bless you!
I will never ever advise you to take methotrexate. Try natural treatment I have arthritis lupus sojgren syndrome thyroid, I have some bad days but I don't eat gluten sugar no soda no caffeine I changed everything which I use to love ❤️. I took some herbal medicine juice every single day atlesst 12 oz and follow healthy lifestyle and I went to a good to doctor after 2 weeks and check my levels. I realize i was seen huge difference .it's my suggestion I am not a medical expert but it helps me .Since i started the herbal medication Am thanking Dr oninialo47 for his advice and being there for me and my family. You can as we reach his email: Droninialo47@gmail.com WhatsApp number (+23490037613209)

This advise is great and found on good science. Let food be your medicine where ever possible.
The only thing that really helped me was liposuction. (I am an exceptional healthy eater and used to exercise 4-5 times a week but nothing worked.) Now, 10 kg lighter, I’m feeling much better and even the swelling due to lymphedema decreased
Did your insurance pay for it?
Jan Levine no, unfortunately it didn’t.
@@wanderlust3292 This needs to change. Government is paying for sex change, hormones for sex change. This is not right.
Cheryl Lynn my doctor said that research suggests it might be a hormonal issue , plus it’s hereditary....we just weren’t that lucky. Keeping my fingers crossed for your surgery. It’s so worth it!
I just had liposuction.I hope it went well .
Thank you so much for sharing this information and your education. YOU HAVE HELPED ME. GOD bless.
Vegetable oils (corn, canola, safflower, sunflower, etc) are PUFA, polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, are the bad long chains. Animal fats and coconut oil and palm oil are short and medium chain. They are good (butter too)
Palm oil????
whisperingsage What about extra virgin olive oil or any olive oil?
i disagree.the short & med chain r still bad.they can easily clog us up & r bad 4 the lymphs 2.avoid if possible.
Hear hear! I was annoyed he didn’t differentiate between good and toxic fats. I would argue that palm oil is not one of the good guys though.
@@playdoe3275 of you do even the most basic of searches you will understand that dietary fat does NOT clog us up! That is a myth made by people who are entirely ignorant about physiology. Carbs and sugars are what clog us up as fats.
such a great presentation. thank you so much on sharing all this information. I think besides diet, intermittent fasting and weight exercise can help a lot too.
Gonna have to watch again and take notes. I'm always hopeful when I find info on Lymphedema because for so long, I was misdiagnosed and then couldn't find hardly anything about it.
Life changing information...thank you SO much!
Thanks for this valuable presentation!
Omega 3 fats come from pasture based animals. And mine are NOT skinny. They are huge compared to the squab they sell in the store. They are heritage breeds. They eat bugs and also get a full nutrient pellet and vitamin D and electrolytes in their water.
Learn more about native grown animals on westonaprice dot org. And Look up Joel Salatin and Justin Rhoades on YT who have pasture based farming of many species.
@@whisperingsage yes what all farms should be doing!
Which breeds?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE 👍👍👍
Absolutely loved the information
Walking is key
Thank you this has been very interesting and a learning experience.
With sincere gratitude.
Would Accupunture be beneficial to the lymphatic system.
I wish researchers would look into how synthetic progestin is affecting lipedema patients.
@@sarahwheelr thats because they need to do research on it…….
Can Helicobacter pylori bacteria be a significant contributor to lymphedema? After having a bleeding stomach ulcer and found to have H. pylori, I completed the triple antibiotic irradication treatment. I've since learned that H.pylori is associated with all kinds of inflammatory medical conditions. I've noticed my prior chronic cough condition improved significantly ( I could stop the various prescribed medications ). I've noticed my chronic recurring Stage one pedal edema also has improved. Is there an association of H.pylori bacteria with lymphedema??
It wouldn’t surprised me.
@Hugh
I think you would do well to repopulate the good intestinal bacteria that your triple antibiotic treatment for H. pylori wiped out. Get a good brand of probiotics with CFU's in the Billions, not millions. Also, don't forget to nurture the good bacteria by feeding them pre-biotics like sauerkraut, kimchee, kefir, yogurt (plain, unsweetened, add your own fruit) and inulin. You might want to do some research on SIBO if restoring your gut bacteria doesn't help. Good luck to you.
Good question?
How did you treat your h pylori?
Thank you,very informative
Now I know why I love the lymph system!!! Thank you for a great lecture, so much info.

@@janonthemtn right on, wight pauer
Great talk straight to the subject thanks.
For some of us it’s not as simple as “watching your diet”. I have primary lymphedema (left leg) since I was 14. I am now 65. It is well maintained. I do not have any weight problems. Looking at the diet pros and cons... much of the suggested foods such as vegetables, leafy greens, legumes, nuts etc seem fine, except for someone like me who also has systematic nickel sensitivity. I actually can only eat dairy and meat to ensure limitations in ingesting nickel. I did a carnivore diet with some real success, but my cholesterol soared to 446 forcing me to now be on Repatha as the only cholesterol med I can tolerate, and am back to eating vegetables and suffering with chronic itching because of the nickel. I eat no sugar whatsoever, but I do use salt which helps manage my sodium levels flushed out with diuretics for lymphedema. I’m anaphylactic allergic to eggs and fish limiting my diet even further. It’s a fight every day with nutrition, but I am diligent in managing the lymphedema with manual drainage, compression wraps and exercise.
What is manual drainage if someone could answer that for me please?
@@mattikarosenthal3298 hello. It is a manual manipulation of the lymphatics through a systematic massage of the key lymphatic drainage areas of the body to stimulate lymph flow. ( think light petting of a cat- not heavy pressure Swedish massage).
manual drainage is whereby pressure is applied on the affected limb to move the lymph fluid away from the limb towards the site of its drainage (ie location of the nearest lymphnodes)
I have the same issue. Started in my arms around 12 yrs old. Terrible nickel allergy and also other metals. I have tried a variety of different diets from carnivore to veganism and none of them did much good. Diet is a small piece of the puzzle. He made way too many generalizations and missed the most important thing is the quality of the food you eat. It needs to be as close to nature as possible. No processing or GMO or pesticides. Same for the meat you eat. The animal needs to have a diet that is natural for them with out processed additives, pesticides, gmos, etc. Nutrition is the tip of the iceberg. Once you get that straight there are a million other things you have to do to reduce symptoms and get healthy. I have e been working on it for 50 yrs and still haven't achieved it.
Diuretics are bad for lymphedema. I was in them for 10 years and got so sick of getting headaches from them I stopped and didn’t tell the Dr. Come to find out it is terrible for Lymphedema. I got compression leg pumps from my vein Dr and with use 2X a day for an hour. I used to gain up to 21lbs of fluid bug now it stays around 5lbs to 12lbs. I’m in Mi and there’s really no one who knows much about it. I used to get cellulitis 4 to 6 times a year and now it’s 1 to 2. Can’t wear compressions because they cut my skin and it gets infected. I did find micro massaging Bioflec legging that really help. Lots of PT and walking. I also use a big yoga ball and lean my weight on it as I do squats against the wall but now that I have to get hip surgery that’s a no go right know. Something you might want to try is not eating past 7pm. Hang in there I know it’s hard. I keep getting down to 160lbs all to have it sabotage in 2 weeks and end up at 180lbs with a bad flare up.
So grass-fed beef and wild fish is fine?
But not grain-fed beef and no pool tank fish?
Yes. The problem is with the GMO grains that have been sprayed with pesticides that the animals eat. We should also not eat them. That is why gluten is also a problem. Basically what he is saying is to eat as close to nature as possible. Stay away from anything that is processed (ie: seed oil) or any animals that eats things that are not a natural part of their diet. He missed talking about foods that have been enriched. Very dangerous to your health. You basically have to make all of your own meals. If you're not used to doing this, it is a big challenge in the beginning. The thing he doesn't talk about is that diet is only a small piece of the puzzle.
Very informative, information, straight to the point ,Thank you for the great video,Bless you
Dear D Gary: "Straight to the point"? What's the point? What special thing should we be eating apart from the obvious?
Thank you for this
Amazing thank you!
Do good quality massage chairs that have the leg massager assist with Lipodema in the legs?
How kind to have this explained.
Great lecture
This is exactly what naturopathic doctors preach. Evidence based medicine supporting the foundations of health.
Great discussion and advice. Thanks..
I don't think any of us get enough physical stimulation, especially those of us who have limited mobility. In my humble opinion, we should seriously consider purchasing a long handled massaging tool that can be used daily from feet to neck in order to stimulate and increase blood flow and circulation.
I'm sure that would help. I live in Asia and have bee getting Asian massages which has helped me stay at a stage 1. Although after my menopause things swelled up a little bit more but now through diet it is being reduced again. If you can get some reflexology massage or a foot reflexology machine, this will help also.
They have those brushes at Amazon
@@joycedandrea7447 hi what are they called please
I think a rebounder is good to get lymph and circulation moving.Barbara O’Neil has a video on TH-cam called HIIT Exercise Barbara O’Neil. In it she explains about the benefits of the rebounder.It’s wonder for those of us with mobility limitations. Only 4 minutes to start out with. I do 4 minutes 2 or 3 times a day. I just started a few weeks ago. Also another TH-camr that helps with lymph is Imis Bigan yoga. Bigan yoga is all about moving lymph. Please check these out I’m sure they will be helpful 😊
A few minutes in, I like the clarity
Thank you so much for this talk
Brilliant!
Is there a transcript available on this somewhere?
Thank-you ❤
I had prolotherapy with dextrose in my knees. It totally reduced any and all swelling from the toes to the knees. It was permanent.
Fred, where did you get the therapy and was it lymphedema that you had? How much was the cost to you?
@@wendyluber4309
It has been over two years. Yes, I have lymphedema. My right arm is larger than my left.
I have had my feet so swollen that it is difficult to see the toes. Yes, people say that once it goes so far, one cannot reduce it. I believe the body is always trying to heal itself.
I took a 1/2 cup of water with a tablespoon of food grade diatomaceous earth. When a doctor wanted to wrap my swollen limbs, he took an image of my arteries. The food grade DE had cleared all the plague. But before you do DE, you must get your vitamin C levels up or you could bleed to death. Plague is an artery scab. Juice an organic lemon, best from your own tree, and mix with water....drink every morning. Give it a month before you do the DE. Ascorbic acid is not vitamin c. But DE helped the lymphedema but not a cure at all.
The prolotherapy has been permanent. I would like to try it on my arms which means my shoulders and elbows.
I did the prolotherapy because my knee joints had problems. I had successfully used prolotherapy on two children. That healing was also permanent. That is why I tried prolotherapy for my knee joint problems. I never expected the cure of my swollen lower legs.
There needs to be a study of prolotherapy and lymphedema.
Doctors are amazed that I have no swelling from my knees to my toe tips. Everything else is still swollen.
The price of prolotherapy ranges widely, mostly price gouging. Ask for a set price up front...don't accept the per syringe price. The naturopath that did mine ran a special for both knees at $500 but then added an office charge on top of that. You have to get a final cost quote.
Fred, thank you for all the great information and the quick response. I am 75, probably have had this a few years but misdiagnosed as edema and wanting to give me diuretics which don’t help of course. I have it in my abdomen to lower legs in first stages so last year was the first help I have received and just learning all about it and using a compression machine which helps some. Thank you for all the great information and I hope you are able to continue to lessen the effects of the disease on you. God bless you!

I am 70. I stayed at a doctor friend's home for a week. Planning to prove that I overeat, she wrote down everything she saw me eat and had made an inventory of all food in the house, including what I brought with me. She was 5 foot tall and weighed 100 pounds. I am 5 foot 10 inches and heavy. She concluded that I eat less than she does and so she could not understand why I am so heavy. Once my doctor understands that I do not overeat, they give up and say that they don't know how to help me. As I said, I did not do prolotherapy for swelling. It was serendipity surprise. All my labs are perfect. So I am not sickly, etc.
Back in 2017 I come down with weeping Lipedema, which cause me to be hospitalized for 2 months I got septic, almost died & now I still suffer the disease & really doctors know .knwing about it, in the hospital I also contactic C-Diff & in rehab my life is a horror I hate this disease no cure for it, & doctors care less about you it is very depressing
