LYMPHATIC SYSTEM:

The lymphatic system is perhaps your most important link in staying well. It is a circulatory system with more lymph fluid than you have blood, and more lymph vessels than blood vessels. Yet it has no central pump like a heart to make this fluid move. Only the movements of your tissues cause the pumping action of the lymph vessels. Here is the single most important health principle you can learn about the human body: If it is moving, it can heal. If it stops moving, it will die. It really is that simple. This is why exercise is often called the “number one physical doctor.” Movement brings in air, food and water. Movement distributes nutrients to the cells, movement delivers nutrition into the cells, and movement collides molecules with each other to cause chemical exchange. Movement sends waste out of the cells, movement carries the waste into the lymph and movement pumps the lymph back to the blood stream to be neutralized by the liver and sent to the colon, skin, kidneys and bladder to be moved out for elimination. Rather a moving experience, wouldn’t you say?

While moving the waste, the lymph attacks infectious agents and foreign bodies with specialized cells generated in its own organs such as the tonsils, adenoids, thymus, spleen, appendix, pyres patches, cisternachyle, and various lymphoid clusters throughout the regions of the body. When the lymph vessels are congested we literally drown in our own waste and die.

The other main function of the lymph system is to produce specialized antibodies and distribute them throughout the body to kill invaders and mutant cell growth or cancer. The lymph system is both a garbage disposal system, and an immune delivery system. It is a critical step in detoxification so that the cellular waste can return to the blood stream, be processed by the liver and eliminated through the colon. No matter what disease or condition you have, on a cellular basis, you die from lymphatic congestion causing cell death, leading to tissue and organ death, and finally your death.Now that you have a basic understanding of the elimination systems of the body we can move on into how to properly detox with the least amount of stress to the body.
