What Attendees Had to Say!

The following feedback was provided by attendees after Nutrition and Intestinal Lymphatics was first presented on March 6.

  • Your exceptional dietary advice has made a tremendous difference in the condition of my arm with secondary lymphedema. Thank you for your diligence and tenacity in bringing understanding of the impact diet has on lymphedema.

  • Just to say thank you so much for a straightforward and easy to follow webinar and slides, thoroughly enjoyed it and found it very helpful. Karen

  • Jean provides research based information instead of just perpetuating the same old myths about lymphedema.

  • Often patients receive conflicting or vague information from various sources regarding the treatment of lymphedema with nutrition. I was impressed that Jean gave us the empowerment to say, “I would like this test first” before turning our world upside down with some new nutritional craze that may not be beneficial. It was obvious Jean’s information was based on heavy research and it was encouraging that new information and testing is becoming available. Loren

  • I participated in the Lymphedema Nutrition School last Fall. It was so helpful, and the webinar today was a terrific bonus. I highly recommend any training with Jean La Mantia on Lymphedema. I have purchased the book as well. Pam
