As a user of CS for quite a few years, but also the 'owner' of many lipomas which as yet are still undiagnosed as to which variety (Dercum's,Madelungs, or 'just' familial multiple lipomas - still searching for a specialist here in Oz who knows about Dercum's and can diagnose - ) I have not seen any positive influence on the lipomas/fatty benign tumors. Neither in halting the development of news ones nor stopping from existing ones in their growth. It just continues.
A fairly active support group by Dercum's sufferers can be found at the following website. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dercums_Disease/
However, I wouldn't want to be without CS to keep my immune system from being overloaded. My observation is that many Dercum's people do have a number of other health issues often auto immune system related.
