Capillary Leak Syndrome (aka SCLS or Clarkson) is a serious medical condition. The Mayo clinic appears to have the most information on this: <>

The swelling can feel like the skin is going to rip open. The blood pressure can drop to the point that it is an emergency. Call an ambulance or go to the Emergency Room. One huge problem: most doctors know nothing about capillary leak. Print out the Mayo Clinic information (and take it with you).. so the doctor will take you serious.

Probably there are many people with capillary leak who think they have edema. Why not? Capillary leak causes swelling. One woman was thought to be obese. Sadly she passed away (died). The doctor who did her autopsy said that the woman was not overweight at all but terribly swollen. She probably had capillary leak and tried to diet the weight off her entire life, without any success. As the doctor said, she looked fat from all the swelling.

Kitchen Remedies and Natural Cures for Capillary Leak

 * Currently, the closest kitchen remedy might be Castor Oil for edema.
 * Microscopic Parasites could eat holes in the capillaries.

1. Serotonin and histomines regulate the blood vessel elasticity. If a serotonin receptor is defective, it will allow too much Substance P which causes the capillaries to leak fluid and causes heightened sensitivity to pain. A serotonin deficiency will also cause nausea and vomiting. Imitrex is used for migraine but does so by acting on serotonine receptors. Only a doctor can test for sarotonin levels. The normal range is 101-283 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, migraines, and anxiety are a red flag signal of possible low serotonin levels. 2. A Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Accupuncturist told one woman to try Horse Chestnut (an herb). In addition to horse chestnut, She takes DIM, Calcium d-Glucanate, Nature's Plus Food-Zyme, and Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. When she take those supplements, she has less swelling. In the beginning, she was apathetic. Now, her family reminds her to take her supplements because it helps...a lot. She has not taken these supplements long enough to know if it will eradicate or just ameliorate the problems. One person with capillary leak said that the horse chestnut did not help her. But the original person who said that this did help her is taking five products, not just horse chestnut.

3. Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth  Note: DON'T use swimming pool Diatomaceous Earth because it is poisonous. Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is safe to eat. It is in many food products. Farmers have fed their livestock DE for year. See:  For myself, I mix a tablespoon or two with water. Be careful not to breath the powder. Put a towel over it when you first start mixing it. Some people take DE in capsule form.

3. Ginko. Some people use ginko.

4. Swimming appears to be the only type of exercise that helps without hurting. Many other types of exercise cause more swelling. One lady said that cold water is better for her.

5. Another person said that infra red saunas do help but takes too many hours whereas she has just as good results from a diuretic.

6. Pycnogenol (also known as the herb gotu cola), is pine bark extract. In a study, the herb greately reduced subcutaneous edema and venous pressure. "Clinically, the herb also reduced capillary leakage and perivascular inflammation." copied verbatim from http://douglassreport.com/2002/05/24/they-must-all-be-nuts/ (It is in the Move Over Aspirin section)  Pine is one of the remedies for Fungus.

7. Milk cure. Before the word capillary leak was coined, all edema was called dropsy. The milk cure article: "dropsy has never been treated with large quantities of fluid. With all medication withdrawn, one case lost twenty-six pounds in six days, huge edema disappearing from the abdomen and legs, with great relief to the patient. No cathartics or diuretics were given. This property of milk in edema has been noted in both cardiac and renal cases." The milk cure is a bio-engineered remedy that uses raw milk.

Too many people die from this condition. One surviver says she owes her life to an accupuncturist. Here is her advice:
