Alternatives to Standard Treatment of Lymphedema--Inert Gas Ionization Instrument Lymph Drainage

Inert Gas Ionization Instruments for Lymph Drainage
There is no quick fix for lymphedema.  We have the emphatic opinion of "buyer beware."

For some of the same reasons that we do not endorse the Laser or endorse or recommend the Acuscope or the Inert Gas Ionization Instrument-Lymph Drainage we are including it here for those who have questions about its use in lymphedema.

Again, we do not in any way endorse this treatment.  We only recommend that lymphedema be treated by a qualified lymphedema therapist.

Please see our page on FINDING A QUALIFIED LYMPHEDEMA THERAPIST.

The FDA has not approved Inert Gas Ionization Instrument for Lymph Drainage for lymphedema treatment and neither these devices, nor this treatment, are currently accepted as part of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) for the treatment for lymphedema.
