The very best thing I know of for edema is parsley capsules. I think they are quicker than cabbage. I would also use Reverse Pressure Softening and give the mom rescue remedy in her drinking water and tell her to sip it constantly. Also, a LLLL friend had a problem with MER that was corrected by a vist to the chiropractor--or she could try CST.
