Instructions:
Detoxification
Detoxify as much as possible, avoiding overweight and creating the greatest possible health and internal cleanliness including in your all-important vascular system. Use detoxifying baths such as epsom salt baths which have the additional advantage of chelating ionizing radiation & destructive radioactivity from your body.

Increase circulation
Massage (manual lymph drainage) and elevation can also be helpful. Take the enzyme preparation Wobenzym as directed on the label. In an Austrian clinical test involving women who had breast cancer surgery, a combination of Wobenzym with manual lymph drainage reduced arm size, lessened pain, and improved skin condition in less than two months' use.
