DIAGNOSIS: VENOUS STASIS ULCERS
"Stasis ulcer: A stasis ulcer is an ulcer (a crater) that develops in an area in which the circulation is sluggish and the venous return (the return of venous blood toward the heart) is poor. A common location for stasis ulcers is on the ankle. Stasis refers to a stoppage or slowdown in the flow of blood (or other body fluid such as lymph). "Stasis" is a Greek word meaning "the posture for standing" and is derived from the Greek "histemi" meaning "to make stand still." [medicine.net]
"According to The Cleveland Clinic, venous stasis ulcers affect 500,000 to 600,000 people in the United States annually. These ulcers occur when the veins are unable to bring fluid and blood back to the heart. Instead, the fluid pools in the legs, and ulcers develop as a result of the fluid build-up under the skin
The shallow, crater-like venous ulcer has an irregular border with a red base. The wound is open with a moist, pink center, or covered by a thick black scab or yellow fibrous tissue. A venous stasis ulcer can drain a significant amount of fluid. According to The Cleveland Clinic, these ulcers are usually found on the inner portion of the lower just above the ankle but can be found anywhere below the knee. Venous stasis ulcers can take four months to heal, and according to SkinSight.com, 25 percent of ulcers do not heal even after a year."

The course of my disease has been an on again - off again situation, varying in site and severity. I had started using LIMU Original because of a previously described adverse reaction to an Unna wrap. I believe the ingestion of LIMU Original, the seaweed derivative, assisted in speedy healing of the right leg. Two weeks ago, we began wrapping the left lower leg.
My left leg was wrapped in the afternoon on Monday, I was to remove the dressings late on Tuesday for rewrapping on Wednesday (using Coban Lite). By mid afternoon on Tuesday I decided to remove the outer layer of ACE wrap because it had become painful. Due to excess pain and tenderness, I removed the entire bandaging only to discover what I considered a serious condition. Serious enough to get in contact with my therapist after hours. There was one fluid-filled blister about the size of a quarter, about 1/4 inch high with fluid on the left outer ankle. Several smaller fluid buildups were in a line down the center of the lower leg/ankle.
Along with the lymphedema therapist, I had a visit from the agency wound care specialist, and had to visit the doctor. Orders were written to continue normal treatment. I doubled up on my LIMU intake and even began drinking Blu Frog, getting as much Limu in me as possible. That first week, I alternated between the regular treatment and applying LIMU poltices directly to the skin wounds. The changes were slow. Monday, the nurse told me to stop the ointment application, just keep non-stick coverings to the sores, which had drained, causing patches of skin to slough off, leaving patches of second layer skin/flesh that needed to heal over. She was also surprised that my right foot which is usually chronically swollen appeared less swollen and no blisters had appeared on that ankle - which had earlier appeared to have minute buildup that could have erupted.
To this date, I have been cautious about proclaiming a LIMU miracle, knowing the seaweed derivative was helping. Today I can say without a doubt that IT’S WORKING! LIMU is making the difference. The changes in my leg and foot using only the LIMU are terrific. I did report my use of the LIMU poltices my healthcare personnel. On Thursday, yesterday, the nurse applied a 3 x 4 inch Mepitel patch (a new treatment) over the affected area. We covered that with a large border gauze patch with plans to leave that unmolested until next week. In the meantime, I am continuing to ingest 2-4 ounces of LIMU Original and 1 Blu Frog per day - no topical applications.
As I have stated previously, it is important to exercise caution in "discarding" prescribed drug and treatment procedures in any situation without approval. Testimony abounds regarding absolutely positive results with LIMU and I believe them. My husband and I have both experienced unexpected positives with LIMU usage, so-called "side effects."
Again, in the case of my lymphedema and its resultant venous stasis ulcers, I thank God for the opportunity to use LIMU Original specifically, without other medicines, and to view its tangible evidence of healing.

SUPPLEMENTS
We have talked about the importance of maintaining good eating habits along with taking LIMU products. One good dietary addition, especially for diabetics is cinnamon. I use the capsules and also add ground cinnamon to my 'no sugar added' canned fruit.

WORDS OF THOMAS EDISON
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instead treat his patients in the human frame in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
On a plaque hanging on the wall in the office of my chiropractor.
This speaks somewhat of my belief in blended medicine. Medical doctors are definitely needed in our lives. I also believe it is an individual responsibility to seek out those supplements that enhance the work of the physician. THAT IS WHY I DRINK LIMU ORIGINAL. It is also why Leo and I are promotors for The LIMU Company.

LYMPHEDEMA - more from JUZO
What are the symptoms: ... may develop within a few months after a procedure, years later, or never. First obvious sign is swelling characterized by "pitting" - recognizable when the skin is depressed for a few seconds and the indention does not immediately disappear. May include tightness or heaviness.
Will lymphedema ever go away - Can be managed through proper treatment, quality compression garments, and good skin care ... prevention is the key.
Proper nutrition - comportable clothing - avoid heavy purses, luggage, and shoulder bags - moderate exercise - see physician immediately if symptoms appear - weight control!

DIAGNOSIS: LYMPHEDEMA
Note: The discussion about my lower extremity lymphedema is getting lengthy so am starting a new title and moving some of that discussion to its own section. Patience please as I figure that out.
LYMPHEDEMA [L. lympha, clear spring water + G, a swelling] is defined as “Swelling (especially in subcutaneous tissues) as a result of obstruction of lymphatic vessels or lymph nodes and the accumulation of large amounts of lymph in the affected region." Stedman’s Medical Dictionary,25th Edition.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM: Consisting of a network of organs, nodes, and ducts, the lymphatic system transports lymph throughout the body. This lymph is a water-like, clear substance of protein and fluid squeezed from the blood. The primary functions of the lymphatic system is to collect and return interstitial fluids such as plasma protein to the blood, helping to maintain bodily fluid balance. Immune cells, lymphocytes, protect the body from viruses, bacteria, and such that invade the body, interacting with the blood circulatory system. Unlike the circulatory system, however, the lymphatic system is called a one-way system which drains fluid from the tissue and returns it to the blood.
Because the lymphatic system is much more complex than this simple description, I recommend that interested persons explore this matter in greater detail.

Lymphedema is either congenital-inherited-called primary, or can be secondary, occurring later in life. I was diagnosed with primary lymphedema in early 1999 following hospitalization when I was found to be diabetic.
According to the experienced diagnosing physician, my case is general, I suppose our mother may have suffered from lymphedema although diagnosed as and treated for varicose veins. She spent a lifetime wrapping her legs for protection against bumps or other injury which would cause severe, deep ulcers to occur. The diagnosis of lymphedema was not given. Had we known about limu moui, the seeweed products, perhaps we would have been blessed with her presence beyond her 52 years.
