How Can Cellulitis In The Arms Be Removed?
I am an 8 year survivor of breast cancer, but as a result of the removal of lymph nodes in my right arm I have lymphodema, and TOO often suffer from cellulitis in that arm and 2 times in the right leg. I have been told by a person who owns a health nutrition store that IP6 may help. I have read your info here and it doesn t seem that is the case. I take a 50 billion probiotic, and eat yogut daily, and also take a 10 or 12 billion probiotic as well as turmeric, and other vitamin supplements. Do you think IP 6 would be helpful in battling the cellulitis?
