This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides the best collection available anywhere of official Federal government information and documents on the subject of lymphatic diseases, lymph nodes, and lymphedema. This CD-ROM uses next-generation search technology that allows complete indexing and makes all files on the disc fully searchable. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material.

This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Combined Health Information Database (CHID), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Contents include clinical and medical information, with information on signs, symptoms, testing, diagnosis, treatment, and more.

In addition, as a bonus we have included an encyclopedic collection of general medical and health documents – thousands of pages with extensive material from the CDC and NIH on hundreds of diseases and health topics from A to Z, along with FDA drug and medical publications, government consumer healthcare tips, disease prevention programs, dietary guidelines, and travelers’ health information.

By using weblinks on the CD-ROM, you can quickly check for the latest clinical updates directly from the government.

This CD-ROM has over 32,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software and Reader software is included. Advanced search and indexing features are built into our reproduction, providing a complete full-text index.

There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable!

Our CD-ROMs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government.

This book-on-a-disc makes a superb reference work and educational tool for patients and their families, physicians, and other medical professionals.

Lyphedema Text Book
This is a great text book if you're starting into manual lymphatic drainage; the exercise cards to go along with manual techniques by Sandy Artzberg are really good too.

Book availablility
This is the textbook for the Lymphatic Drainage Therapy program offered through the Upledger Institute. You can purchase it from them for $75 if Amazon is unable to stock it. It is written in medical language and is for the practicing therapist. It can also be a valuable resource for patients, however.

The comprehensive text for the field of Lymphatics~a Must Have!
Dr. Chikly is THE Leader in his field and has truly displayed it in this amazing reference work. I have trained many modalities as a Licensed Therapist and his Manual Lymphatic Technique is one of the more astounding ones! I have been fortunate enough to learn them directly from him in Arizona. Bruno is a serious PhD expert, but at the same time one of the kindest, most genuine people ON THE PLANET~ we're talking Ghandi-like. The knowledge of this technique will forever shift your view of the body as well as the real power in gentle, almost touchless, techniques.Dr. Chikly has put his life work into this material and it is second to none on the subject.I really feel the medical community could benefit more from its increased usage, as could the general public for use at home.Anyone can learn from the mountain of information that's packed into this very nice hard covered book. ...
