High fever and chills also occurred. I consulted a dermatologist who recommended hospitalization for treatment, but I declined. I also tried traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I received acupuncture daily for a month, each session costing RM120.00. Later, I noticed that my mouth was also crooked, and I began drooling. Subsequently, I underwent cupping therapy to draw out stagnant blood. Due to inflammation, a hole appeared in my calf, causing unbearable pain.<\/p>\n<p>Based on machine recognition, I got to know Dato&#8217; Sri Tai Shung Tat, the president of the Malaysian Cancer and Rehabilitation Charitable Association, and started taking Gold Mountain Porcupine Dates. After taking two capsules in the morning and evening for a week, the swelling began to subside. My skin cracked, peeled, and regenerated, leading to the healing of the hole.<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Medical term for lower limb lymphedema. It&#8217;s caused by impaired lymphatic fluid drainage, leading to the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the subcutaneous tissues, resulting in fibrosis and fat hardening. In later stages, the limb becomes swollen, and the skin becomes thick, rough, and tough like elephant skin, hence the term &#8220;elephantiasis.&#8221; It&#8217;s primarily acquired after trauma and is also referred to as traumatic arteriovenous fistula.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image
