I have no idea if this will be of any help to you because so many things
like this have so many different causes and cures.

My wife tends to get edema in her legs from long periods of activity,
walking, standing. Seems to be rather counter-intuitive that she would get
it from activity instead of inactivity.

Her usual cure is resting her legs, even sitting at her desk or driving.
This condition, in her, responds MARVELOUSLY to "Skin Brushing". Google it
and you'll find a lot about it.

After a week of being a chaperone at high school band camp this past summer,
her poor legs looked like tree stumps. It was a two hour drive back home,
and she looked much improved after that. That night I brushed her legs with
a natural bristle brush and could literally see the brush strokes causing
the swelling to decrease.

Hello everyone,

I have odema of the lower abdomen and legs, very recent.

This is due mainly to a heart problem which at times my blood pressure drops
and i go into a sort of heart failure.

Can silver help with this?

If so, what amount should i take daily?

The odaema is so bad that it is seeping through my skin.

I am on Frusemide maximum dose  160mg daily but this doesnt help..

Hoping that silver can.

I have a generator to make my own now,

thanking you in advance

Sue
