Just a feeling after reading your post....
His lymphatic system is compromised, and cannot clean the blood.
Quoting: JJ Blueberry I’m going to suggest this be checked out as well.
EVERY stone turned to find what is going on. As other men, he “doesn’t like/trust doctors,” but the fact that this a recurring event now has him wondering what is truly wrong. I think I can convince him to explore further.
Thank you.
Saying the lymphatic system is compromised is like saying your car sounds like its running funny.
It doesnt actually mean anything of significance.
One thing you arent aware of is that the immune system is naturally slowly shutting down with aging.
The various mechanisms are becoming less efficient with age, naturally, its programmed decrepitude.
The various hormones which mediate this are tanking and making the system functionally deficient with advancing age, and underlying disease states such as diabetes amplify this.
It's no exaggeration that aging is literally aging intending to lead to death.
Some of these pathways can be manipulated for a while, some cheaply, some at considerable expense.
Most doctors do not address this nor will they attend to it honestly.
There are a few people with the credentials and professional ethics to honestly counsel for strategies for reversing decrepitude and even then, the complexity of the system makes it impossible to promise anything.
Most of the time all you will get is someone providing overpriced overpromised potions with no proven potential other than potential for huge profits for the provider.
