What is the Lymph System?......
Many people do not realize that, in addition to their arteries and veins, their circulation system includes an even
bigger complex of fluid conduits called the lymphatic system (three to four times larger than the blood system).
Your body has essentially two interstitial (between the cells) fluids. While the blood “nourishes” each of your millions
of cells, the lymphatic system’s lymph fluid carries away acidic cellular metabolic wastes. These wastes are
discharged from the body via the kidneys, colon, skin and associated eliminatory processes.
What is a Lymph Node?......
Your body has thousands of lymph nodes that act as septic tanks, breaking down acidic wastes and damaged cells.
The adenoids, tonsils and appendix are also examples of specialized lymph nodes. You have a mass of nodes under
each arm that drains the arms and breasts. Your jaws, sternum, groin, etc. have many as well. They're everywhere and
vital for the proper elimination of wastes. Show me someone with their tonsils removed, and I’ll show you
someone with head, brain, sinus, etc. problems. We really
feel sorry for those that had lymph nodes removed with breast cancer surgery (of course the lymph nodes have
cancer cells in them, that’s the way they get broken down and removed from the body). It should be criminal to
remove lymph nodes - now what will happen to all the cellular wastes without the lymph nodes?
What Could Go Wrong?......
Major problems
develop, however, when the body is inundated by acidic foods, air, water, and skin products. When that happens,
the eliminatory filtration functions of the kidneys, colon, skin, etc. are inhibited and the acidic cellular metabolic
wastes and ingested environmental toxins (chemicals and metals) accumulated in the thick, mucus-like lymph
fluid start backing up in the entire system. When the backup gets bad enough, cellular damage and breakdown
can occur via intracellular acidosis.
First your lymph nodes will swell, and then the body will “pocket”
or “encase” this waste material, creating tumors, boils, cysts, polyps, etc. You will also create pain,
stiffness, rashes and skin problems and swelling in the tissues.
The Beginning of Dis-ease......
Lymphatic congestion (acid stagnation) and acidosis (the accumulation of
acidic wastes) lead straight to the body’s degeneration and hence major health issues. It has been said that
lymphatic congestion may be the reason for 90% of all illness. Lymphatic congestion begins with kidney/adrenal
weakness, which is the result of a poor acidic diet.
Simple Test for Kidney Filtration......
Pee in a glass jar and take a look. The medical community wants your urine to be clear.
However, if your urine is clear (no matter what the color), you do not have proper kidney filtration. Clear urine means
no wastes are being removed and you are probably losing electrolytes. There should be white flecks, clouds, stringy
material, etc. to show that the kidneys are indeed removing wastes from the lymphatic system.
A Basic Chemistry Lesson......
All of chemistry, no matter what element, compound, or complex, has only two
sides to it, Period! Understanding the nature of these two sides of chemistry is vital to understanding what damages
or weakens your cells, and what strengthens them. One side is called the Acid side and the other is the
Base or Alkaline side. Your body works well when the air and food sources you consume are
80% alkaline vs. 20% acid in their chemistry or residual ash when burned.
One can see from the above how our diet must be predominantly alkaline in its chemistry or one becomes acidic. The importance of the body being more alkaline is seen with the blood, which the body must maintain at 7.3-7.4 pH, or death would be imminent. When we eat acid forming foods, the blood must find or steal alkaline chemistry to keep its alkalinity or pH balance. The body will take calcium out of its own walls (hence spider or varicose veins), or out of bones to neutralize these acids. The body will also produce cholesterol to help fight the inflammation.
A Healthy Lymph System......
The kidneys play a major role in the elimination and filtration
of acids out of the lymphatic system. A detoxification program will bring your kidneys back to full health and
clean up lymphatic system congestion and stagnation. Moderate exercise will help get the lymph moving.
Changing to a diet of fruits, berries and melons, and using
revitalizing herbal formulas, can transform a sick body into a healthy body. The goal is to restore your cells to health
and vitality.
Interesting side note: Have high cholesterol? Cholesterol is one of the body’s way of buffering against these
toxic acids. Want to lower your cholesterol? A primary way to do that is to diminish your intake of acidic foods.
