If it stops the itching on my leg, I will shout it from the rooftops extolling the benefits of sugar.

Well, not just any ole sugar "Trehalose Complex".  Yeah!!!

I'll let you all know.

Paul,

I hope it does have a positive effect on the varicose vein issue.  I am dealing with that on my left leg.
Never bothered me before but it sure does now.

Well, I suffered for years and don't anymore. I had the hot, itchy feelings with ugly blue bulges...one was above knee and squiggled up toward hip...gross! ( My dad has the same exact one on the same exact leg...but at 82 doesn't care.)

I had treatment last summer and my legs look and feel great! I have a little bit of bruising where the vein really popped out but my legs are tan and you cannot see it. I didn't want surgery either, thats why I sought out this center. Dr.K is a pioneer in this field.

Cajun,

Just read your response to varicose veins and looked up Vein Center in Orange County (Irvine, Ca.)\

Even though I'm across country in Florida its good to be apprised of what works and the different procedures there are to remove and improve varicose veins which are truly distracting and could be painful.  

I'm glad you had a successful experience.  Right now I'm still working on the issue on my left leg (which does have the varicose vein on it and may be contributing somehow).

I will reread your post should I ever get to the point of having the varicose vein removed.

Joy,
I wish you the best because I understand it is frustrating. My vein actually dissolved. The doctor explains all this in detail , including having me watch my doplar while standing, and quizzing me during the whole process! The whole process was minimally painful and I would do it again...but won't have to!
Dr. K  is extremely dedicated, professional and result oriented! As I said, he is a pioneer in the field and very focused.

I didn't know that they still did surgery for varicose veins. My son had a huge one behind his knee - it looked pretty bad, but he had it removed without surgery. No problems since.

Spring,

Ok, the question is how did he have it done without surgery?

Joy, this is the group that did my son's, and I see they have a location in Florida. He was very pleased with his treatment. I think your questions will be answered on this site. If not, you could give them a call.

my advice:
Melilotus officinalis infusion, remove any type of animal milk, eliminate gluten, eating only food benefits. green clay poultices. A few rules to get better.

Joy,
See any similarities between my vein clinic and springs sons? I do. Looks like one is East and one is West. Basically the same.
