Dr. Herbst's publications specific to ADIPOSE TISSUE DISORDERS
LIPEDEMA
Nourollahi S, Mondry TE, and Herbst KL. Bucher’s Broom and Selenium Improve Lipedema: A Retrospective Case Study. Altern Integ Med Volume 2 • Issue 4 : 1-7. Get a copy here.
This study demonstrated that Butcher's broom and selenium were able to maintain the decreased tissue volume in a woman with lipedema after she stopped professional manual lymph drainage and exercise due to a leg injury and eye surgery.
LIPEDEMA, DERCUM'S DISEASE, MADELUNG'S DISEASE
Herbst KL. Rare adipose disorders masquerading as obesity. Acta Pharmacol Sinica 2012; 33(2): 155-172. PMID: 22301856
A comprehensive overview of lipedema, Madelung's disease and Dercum's disease comparing them to obesity and partial lipodystrophies. Provides recommendations on diagnosis and treatments.

DERCUM'S DISEASE
Yee JK, Phillips SA, Allamehzadeh K, Herbst KL. Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Fatty Acid Desaturation in Adults With and Without Rare Adipose Disorders. Lipids in Health and Disease. 2012 Feb 3;11(1):19. [Epub ahead of print]. PMID: 22300160
People with Dercum's disease had lower unsaturated fatty acids in their fat tissue suggesting a defect in fat tissue metabolism; the conclusion suggests fish oil may be beneficial in Dercum's disease.
DERCUM'S DISEASE
Herbst KL and Rutledge TR. Pilot Study: Rapidly cycling hypobaric pressure improves pain after five days in adiposis dolorosa. Journal of Pain Research. August, 2010 Volume 2010:3 Pages 147 – 153 PMID: 21197318
A unique form of effort-free physical conditioning improved pain and mental quality of life in people with Dercum's disease. See more at: https://www.facebook.com/GoCVAC
DERCUM'S DISEASE
Herbst KL, Chang AS, Boyle, D. Lipomatosis associated inflammation and excess collagen may contribute to lower relative resting energy expenditure in women with adiposis dolorosa. International Journal of Obesity. 2009
Sep;33(9):1031-8. Epub 2009 Jul 21. PMID: 19621017
Dercum's disease fat was found to have increased collagen and markers of inflammation. The blood levels of interleukin-13 (IL-13) were also increased. Resting energy was lower in women with Dercum's disease suggesting that Dercum's disease fat is less metabolically active.
DERCUM'S DISEASE
Herbst KL, Asare-Bediako S. Adiposis Dolorosa is More than Painful Fat. The Endocrinologist 2007. Nov/Dec
76(6):326-334.
An overview of signs, symptoms, past medical and family history in people with Dercum's disease. The average age of onset was 34 years, debunking earlier theories that Dercum's disease only happens in postmenopausal women.
DERCUM'S DISEASE
Rasmussen JC, Herbst KL, Aldrich MB, Darne CD, Tan IC, Zhu B, Guilliod R, Fife CE, Maus EA, Sevick-Muraca EM.An abnormal lymphatic phenotype is associated with subcutaneous adipose tissue deposits in Dercum's disease.
