The lymphatic system is older than cardiovascular system. It is also called "The White River". The first deception of official medicine is that it cannot be affected. For sure, here are countless methods of alternative medicine that can help.
The lymphatic system stays in the basis of the purification of inter cellular spaces, and it is also a part of our immune system. Its function is to filter the blood, to produce white blood cells, to protect us against diseases etc.
The lymphatic system includes spleen, thymus glands (endocrine gland), appendix, tonsils, lymph nodes and vessels, lymphatic tissue.
When lymph passes through the lymph nodes and spleen, the obsolete cells, bacterial agents and other alien substances (got into body) are being removed. The purified lymph returns again in the lymphatic system.
Clogging of the lymphatic system may lead to many diseases:
allergies, sinusitis, arthritis, cancer, colitis, lupus (erythematosis), obesity and skin problems. It can also be the cause of edema (water retention), lack of energy, constipation (constipation), clogged sinuses, backache, aches and pains and a sense of weakness, lethargy.
In human body there are over 600 lymph nodes located in all areas. Most often, swollen lymph nodes can be established under the jawline, neck, armpits and groin. Usually the swelling of the lymph nodes is a signal that the body is struggling with:
- infections - different types of bacteria, parasites, viruses, including the common cold.
- allergies - response against allergens and other inflammatory cells, that reach the lymph nodes
- toxins and excessive metaboliti, produced in other areas of the body and conveyed to these nodes
- diseases like - cancers, bladder cancer, breast cancer and other serious diseases
Lymph nodes enlargement can occur rapidly or gradually. More often, sudden swelling is associated with acute bacterial or viral infection, and is accompanied by pain. Other diseases such as cancer, typically cause a slow and gradual increase in the size of lymph nodes, often without the presence of pain.
When lymphatic system is not working properly, our bodies can not remove toxins to fight viral, fungal and bacterial diseases, or regulate the amount of fluid in our tissues. To be able to achieve maximum health, this system should function well.
The lymphatic system is "clogged" because of the presence of toxins and parasites in it. In this situation, lymph can not perform its functions. Under certain conditions, the parasites begin forming colonies, thus infect lymph which leads to different diseases..
To be healthy, we need to maintain a 'clean' lymphatic system. Undoubtedly, the correct diet and physical activities are important, but unfortunately not enough.
