The before and after photographs using a simple tilted bed technique to reduce the varicose veins are available now on the Nakedscientists forum: Use varicose veins as search terms in the forum to find the study. We still need more people who are willing to provide photographs before and after tilting their bed by raising it 15 cm’s or 6 inches at the head end. This is called Inclined Therapy.

The results so far have been predictably positive and reliable.

We are conducting a study on the Nakedscientists forum. The study is showing improvements in varicose veins without the need for surgery. We need around 50 people to test “inclined bed thereapy” Search in google adding varicose veins.
