The Lymphatic System is spread
like a tree, throughout your body delivering
nutrients to the cells and removing the waste
that is left behind. It is vital to take daily
actions to stimulate the flow of lymph to
assist in the removal of waste products from
your body. In fact it is so crucial to your
health, that you would die within 24 hours if
this system quit working.
The Lymphatic System -
which also includes the spleen, thymus,
tonsils, and bone marrow - is constantly
defending the body against millions of
microscopic attackers. The lymphatic system is
given considerable attention in the treatment
of toxicity as well as reducing edema.
Tiny vessels carry a colorless
fluid called lymph. Suspended in the fluid are
lymphocytes (white blood cells) whose purpose
is to fight disease and infection. The network
is connected by small bean sized organs called
lymph nodes.
Lymph nodes - which are
mostly in the arm pits, neck, groin, chest and
abdomen - filter the fluid and initiate your
body's immune system response.
You have 3 times as much lymph
fluid in your body as you do blood but, unlike
blood there is no pump to circulate the fluid.
Lack of exercise, shallow
breathing and even anger causes the
lymphatic system to become sluggish, which can
cause circulation to the cells to be impaired.
This, in turn, can effect the removal of toxic
waste. Exercise, massage and deep breathing
will stimulate the Lymphatic System, enable
detox, cleansing and pain release.
If toxins are not eliminated
from your cells effectively, numerous
disorders effecting the Immune System will
develop. Exercise effectively and speedily
moves body fluids, aiding the lymphatic system
in detox, extremely important for those who
get very little exercise, the elderly, the
sick and people in physical rehabilitation.
Every healing art on earth involves getting
oxygen to cells.
Dr. C. Samuel West.
Chemist and
Lymphologist.
Dr. West dedicated a lifetime
to studying the Lymphatic System - "When the
lymphatic vessels are properly activated they
have the ability to pull out the dead cells,
poisons, and excess water from around the
cells to get the cells into what is called the
"Dry-State".
When we do what is necessary to get the cells
into the "Dry State" there is no excess water
around the cells, only enough water to fill
the crevices around the cells, and that is
all. This is the condition that all the cells
in your body must be in to get oxygen from the
blood stream. Furthermore, you don't get pain,
loss of energy or disease (of any kind) when
the cells are in this condition." - Dr. Samuel
West.
