A member asked:

Healthy diets and exercise for patients with lymphatic diseases?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, sorta: Depends on the type of lymphatic dz. If you are referring to lymphedema, it will help, but the mainstay of therapy is compression, special massage therapy, and compression pumps, depending on the severity of dz.
