One more thing, since I found you, were you able to get rid of your edema that you were having trouble with in the beginning? Just asking because I had some trouble with it and used all the advise and it still didn't go away. I'm using the detoxified Iodine right now and the swelling is all gone. My cute strappy sandals just did not look very good with puffy skin sticking out all over. :) 48124
