I had +3 pitting edema in my feet, ankles, calves, knees, and thighs. It came on suddenly. My doctor put me on the classic treatment of Lasix and Potassium. It didn't work. I started taking B1, decreased processed sugars, wore TED hose, as my feet felt like they were broken from the enormous pressure from the edema. Blood vessels ruptured, and the front of my calves split, the edema was so bad. I am not diabetic. I walk and exercise. Once I took control of my health....I stopped the Lasix & Potassium.....increased my Magnesium Taurate and B1 vitamin, along with B12.....the edema literally disappeared in 2 days. I lost 25 pounds in that time, too. My doctor was stunned that I cured myself. I am an ER/ICU/Trauma Nurse). Everyone should be more proactive in their own healthcare. Research, educate yourselves, and dedicate your life to your life. Thank you, Dr. Berg.....you ROCK!❤😊

Dr Berg notes Dr Berg talks about edema causes and remedies. Swollen legs are often a symptom of edema and are typically blamed on liver, kidney, or heart problems. Did you know that edema and pitting edema may be able to be fixed without a blood thinner or diuretic? Water retention in the lower legs is caused by a problem with the sodium-potassium pumps in your cells. If these pumps aren’t working correctly, water retention outside the cells, known as interstitial fluid retention, will occur. When you have swollen ankles, it’s usually the result of high blood sugar connected to the hemoglobin protein in your blood. This is called glycation, which inhibits the blood cell’s ability to carry nutrition and oxygen throughout the body. Glycated proteins can also block circulation, leading to swollen legs and swollen ankles. High blood sugar causes sodium retention, which also contributes to water retention. Over time, this can affect the nerves in the bottom of the feet, causing numbness and tingling, known as peripheral neuropathy. Even if you don’t yet have diabetes, edema can be caused by high blood sugar. To help eliminate edema, you must ensure you’re getting plenty of potassium, which can be difficult to achieve through diet alone. The average person needs 4700 mg of potassium daily! Avocados, salads, and berries can help you meet this requirement. You also need plenty of magnesium to help eliminate edema. Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and leafy greens are good sources of magnesium. Aim for 420 mg of magnesium daily. High-quality electrolyte powder without hidden sugars can help increase potassium and magnesium intake. Vitamin B1 deficiency is likely behind issues with the sodium-potassium pump. For sugar to be turned into usable energy in the body, you need vitamin B1. Consuming too many refined carbohydrates can cause a vitamin B1 deficiency. Vitamin B1, potassium, and magnesium can help eliminate edema, but you must also eliminate sugar from your diet. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍

I don’t think this video is about the lymph problem… With lymph gathering in the legs, (ankles, feet) it’s called non-pitting edema. I have it too. Only lying down for at least 8-10 hours helps me. I don’t take any medicines, except thyroid hormone - I have Hashimoto disease and probably hypothyroidism by now - this is probably the reason of this problem... I should wear special compression tights (have problems with varicose veins and aneurysms on veins too) but it’s much too hot for it in the place where I live, we have 35-37 degrees Celsius now still and some 85% humidity - there is a problem with putting these tights on AND with pulling them off😢 my hands are too weak for them.

I've had a problem with edema , swelling, and pitting on my left leg for 27 years. I got it because of an injury to my left foot. One time I foolishly went out barefoot and I stepped on a sharp pebble; and that's when the swelling started. I've been to various doctors about it and been basically told that nothing can be done. There had been some brief times when it went away but it came back. Elevating can help, but it's hard to do constantly. I am retired from work and I had jobs where I sat for most of the day. I've always exercised with muscle training, bike riding, and some walking. It helped but it never went away. But lately, since I've retired, the swelling is less than it used to be and there are times when I would forget that I have that problem. Maybe I just need to see Jesus walking along a street and then I could touch his clothing, and it would go away. Wouldn't that be nice?

Thank you for this video. I take 1teaspoon cremetart/creme of Tartar daily for my potassium intake. Those deficient in potassium can take 1teaspoon in the morning and 1teaspoon im the evening for months then lower to 1teaspoon daily. Much easier while getting your diet correct. Some of us cannot afford to buy all the fruits and veggies needed. Take it from a nurse.

I mix cream of tartar, sea salt, apple cider vinegar, water and lemon juice to make my own electrolyte drink using empty Pedialyte bottles, but I only use 3/4 tsp cream of tarter for each bottle. Didn't realize you could take 2 tsp per day....I've been scared of potassium getting too high as my last lab work showed normal potassium lvl. Thanks for the info and btw I make the drink for myself instead of buying Pedialyte (my baby is grown now 😊).

Thank you Dr. Berg! Informative and well explained as always. Ive been ketovore for 3 years and 99.99% strict carnivore for almost 3 months. I’ve never had this much improvement in the swelling of my legs on any diet I’ve ever tried. I’ve suffered with swelling in my lower legs, feet, ankles since I was a teen. I’ve thought I’d heard every reasoning, from lipodema, too much salt, too many fried foods, muscles in the legs, just don’t work, because I’m tall 👀 but never heard a true explanation. Thank you again🫶

Thank you so much, Doc! I'm a 49-year-old woman with swollen feet and ankles for 10 years. In 2014, it was too much swollen that I couldn't wear even sandals, and my feet became soared and infected. Since 2014 and now, my feet have been swollen on and off, and the doctors only give me tablets, causing me to urine many times during the day and it causes me not to be able to go to work. After watching your informative video, I think I've got to know the reason. To make sure, I appreciate your recommendations to me to have this problem solved forever. 🙏❤️

Due to the leg fracture/immobility I have not been able to do even the most basic things like prepping my vitamin/pill trays. All the vitamins you mentioned, I have taken on a regular basis the last 10+ years. That's why I was so surprised at how bad the swelling was this year. Felt like I was walking on painful water balloons. I was worried the immobility from the fracture and the extreme temperatures were causing the swelling. Now I am even more motivated to get my trays done. Thank you for the information.

Sometimes, a chemical being frequently consumed can cause it. I had swollen ankles and it turned out to be from decaffeinated coffee from a particular convenience store. I stopped drinking it and the swelling vanished. It had some kind of chemical in it, possibly a machine cleaner

Vitamin B1 Thiamine is also good for neuropathy pain and even shingles pain. 250 mg twice a day.

Really? If Dr Berg said it I didn't hear him but how much of both? My fibromialgia and RA pain is debilitating me and I'm only 54. We have a 9yr old daughter that doesn't understand why mommy doesn't get to go places with her and her daddy.

That sounds like a lot. In Dr. Berg’s B1 formula, it only has .3 mg B1 daily

Actually, Benfotiamine 250 mg twice a day is best for neuropathy.

Stroke victims get neurological symptoms because muscles are paralyzed. I have had a massive stroke and my right leg is still paralyzed. I have edema on the right leg but not on the left. As I have gotten better control of the leg, the edema has gone down some. I still have swelling and edema but exercise has helped tremendously with it. My right arm had edema but it has gone away after I regained control of my shoulder muscles. I still don’t have control from my elbow down but the edema is long gone.
