The Lymphatic System is our River Of Life.
It literally bathes every cell and organ in our body and removes the toxins from all of the spaces between our cells and organs and cleans our blood by a fluid called interstitial fluid This fluid starts out as a clear substance and as it picks up toxins in the body it becomes milky and then sludgy. Clearly explains why we can have so many health issues. Having more than 50% more lymphatic fluid in our body than we do blood, it is critical to remove the toxins.
There are also LYMPH GLANDS which include the tonsils, adenoids, spleen and thymus. In the thymus, which is at its largest at birth and slowly begins to shrink after puberty is where the T-cells are made in the body. These cells are what help to defend our body against foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. The thymus produces thymosin , a hormone used for the development and production of T-cells. Once the T-cells have matured in the thymus, they migrate to the lymph nodes to aid the immune system in fighting disease.
Everybody has between 600-625 lymph nodes in it.
There are four ways that our body can release the toxic overload inside them:
1. Lungs - 70% of the fluid that leaves our body actually leaves thru our lungs. Whether it is thru talking, sneezing or coughing.
2. Skin - Our largest organ is the skin and it is one of the vital ways our body detoxes. The stronger our body odor is when we sweat is a sign of how toxic we are. Some people have very strong foot odor for example.
3. Bowels - 2/3 of our lymph nodes are in our digestive track. It is very important to have at least 2-3 good bowel movements per day. The stronger smelling your bowel movements are is again a sign of toxic level in your bowels.
4. Kidneys - We should be drinking at least 50% of our body weight in OZ of good, clean water per day. If beer, pop, wine, tea or coffee are consumed, these are all diuretics and will cause us to become dehydrated if we are not drinking the proper amount of water.
Dehydration comes in three stages: mild, moderate and sever.
Our body should never ask us for a drink by being thirsty. That is actually a sign of dehydration. Headaches are another sign of dehydration. Our brain requires a significant amount of water to function properly, this is why people can experience a hangover when they drink since they drank diuretics and if they don't drink enough water to make up for the output, a hangover can be in the works. Brain fog is yet another sign.
How do we become so toxic?
We can become toxic from a variety of different things. From tight fitting clothes, lack of exercise, scars and surgeries, lymph node removal, the food we eat, things we drink, the air we breath, electronic and chemical pollution ex: fluorescent lights, computers, cell phones etc., chronic stress, poor sleep and hormone mimics called endocrine disruptors, to plastics, air pollution, drugs, herbicides and pesticides and even our thoughts.
Not many people stop to think about how our thoughts and emotions affect us. It is like baggage that gets buried in our tissues and eventually we can make us sick. Negative energy is a huge reason why people get sick. Think about the environment that you spend your time in. Be it at work, home, a bad relationship. It effects you at a cellular level.
Stress is the number one inhibitor of our immune system. Lymphatic drainage w/Lymphstar Pro in Sylvania will assist the body in relieving a number of symptoms that cause discomfort.
Some signs of lymphatic congestion are:
Pain which can become chronic
Inflammation
Swelling and edema and water retention
Sinus issues, cold and flu
Prostate issues
Breast tenderness, fibrocyctis breasts and lumps.
Arthritis and Fibromyalgia
Lack of energy, chronic fatigue, lethargy
Cancer
These are just a few of the many issues being toxic can cause.
I use the Lymphstar Pro opposed to manual therapy. It is 4 times more effective than a manual lymphatic treatment. I have been using it for over 12 years doing with great results for lymphedema along with generalized pain and swelling and boosting people's energy to name a few.
Like filters on a car, our lymph nodes are the filters in our body that collect the waste in our lymphatic fluid that has been collected throughout the body. Our lymphatic fluid is our internal oil. Since we can't change out our filters (lymph nodes) we use the Lymphstar Pro to do the work. The sound harmonics and vibration that the machine puts out helps to loosen the congestion in our system therefore allowing the body to rid itself of the toxins that can make us sick while offering Pain relief in Sylvania .
Contraindications for using the LymphStar Pro opposed to manual drainage.
CFS - congestive heart failure
Kidney failure
Unexplained calf pain
Known blood clots
Pace maker/ICD
Pregnant or lactating
