Within us all there is a silent system working to keep us healthy- the lymph system. Without it our bodies would swell up like balloons, swamping our cells with stagnant fluid. The lymph system's impact is so far reaching that many don't even realize that minor aches and pains, low energy or susceptibility to colds and flu may be due to a sluggish lymph system and a compromised immune system. Lymphatic drainage has been used since the 1930s to promote health and aid recovery from certain illnesses. Lymphatic drainage is now widely used in European hospitals and clinics. It is becoming better known in the U.S. due to its benefits for breast cancer survivors. Also used to promote wellness, this technique can prevent or reduce fluid retention, enhance the removal of toxins from body tissues, and support the immune system. The three main actions of lymphatic drainage are:   1)Stimulation of body fluid circulation. It activates lymph function and lymph circulation. It Indirectly stimulates the blood circulation of the Body. 2) Stimulation of the immune system: the passage of lymph in the lymph nodes stimulates the immune system. The stimulation of lymph circulation activates antigen/antibody presentation and immune reactions. 3) Nervous system: stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation effect). The constant stimulation of the C-fiber mechanoreceptors has inhibitory effects (anti-pain-action).   What is the Lymphatic system? Our body is built on a flow system: nutrients and oxygen in; by-products, carbon dioxide and toxins out. The lymphatic system is the body's cleansing (sewage) system. Next to the blood system, it is our most important system. It is literally our "immune system". It rids the body of toxins, bacteria, dead blood cells, old protein clusters and fats. When the normal flow of the lymphatic system is functional, the body is in balance. When this balance is disrupted and lymphatic wastes accumulate, problems begin to occur. These problems include cancers (especially breast cancer), arthritis, cellulite, edema (puffiness) lupus and other autoimmune diseases. “MLDT is one of the most important techniques for maintaining wellness, removing toxins from the system, and reversing disease symptoms.” Dr. Karyn Mitchell    THE EFFECT OF FATS Fats in dairy, hydrogenated vegetable fats and fatty meats can slow the flow of the lymphatic waste system forcing the body to absorb these fats and toxins resulting in obesity, cellulite and disease. LYMPH & THE IMMUNE  SYSTEM The lymphatic system is our immune system. Lymph passes though the lymphatic nodes which are Linked to the immune system. White blood cells are created in the many lymph nodes throughout the body and flow throughout the lymph system together with lymphocytes-cells and B-cells. These cells defend our bodies against unwanted viruses and bacteria. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure if ones lymph system is clogged with fats and toxins that their immune system is slow, weak and receptive to disease and organ or system failure.
