Lymphatic System Cleaning

Lymphatic System – Good is it to Your Body?

A good body is one that regularly passes out its wastes as required. Your lymphatic system does a good job of that. These wastes and their elimination jobs are the jobs of your Lymphatic and Immune Systems.

They are very vital to your daily health and life’s existents. If we only consumed food and passed nothing in return, can you imagine the danger that poses? You could be compared to Deadpool but life is a cycle of constant movements of giving and taking.

The immune and lymphatic systems work together, offering your body both protection and elimination, respectively. Both belong to the category of “Eliminative System,” but they are separate systems to themselves. Let’s take a closer look at each of these systems and how they do their jobs within us, and also working as a team.

Lymphatic System Function

The lymphatic system acts as your septic system. It provides not only protection for cells but serves to remove wastes as well. Cells eat and excrete as you do, only on a much smaller scale. The blood carries the nutrition and fuels to the cells, and your lymph system removes the by-products and wastes caused by metabolizing these nutrients and fuels.

The lymph system consists of the lymph fluid, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus gland.

Lymphatic System Fluid

Your lymphatic system fluid is alkaline and translucent. It flows from the cells to the venous blood supply via the lymph vessels. Your lymph fluids act like your toilet water. It carries the waste from your toilet to the septic system.

Similarly, your lymph fluid removes about 10 percent of the total fluid supplied by your bloodstream to a cell. The lymph fluid carries a host of substances that need to be removed from cells.

These include:

• Excessive unused proteins (including albumin and globulin, etc.) Salts and ions
• Gases and toxic, metabolic wastes
• Ureas
• Fats (possible anti-inflammatory compounds)
• Glucose
• Hormones, steroids, and enzymes
• Unused nutrients, especially artificial vitamins Parasites (bacteria, etc.)
• Chemical toxins, sulfa drugs, chemical medications, etc.
• Minerals (unusable by cells)
• Immune cells, especially lymphocytes (T- and especially B-cells), macrophages (monocytes), etc.
• Dying body cells (due to atrophy or acidosis)
• Small intestinal tract and liver fats that are absorbed through small lymph vessels are called lacteals.

There is not a “heart” to pump and pressurize your lymph system, so your lymph fluids move using the following methods:

• Pressure changes are reflected in the blood vascular system. Contraction of your skeletal muscles, which are activated through movement and exercise.
• Contraction of smooth muscle stimulation.

Low blood pressure (adrenal glands), lack of exercise or inactive lifestyle, impacted bowels, and congested kidneys and skin will all cause your lymph system to back up.

Over-consumption of proteins (many of which are abrasive [foreign] to the body), acids, and mucus-forming substances (milk, complex sugars, etc.) will also burden your lymph system, causing it to become congested and stagnated.

All of these together can put a heavy burden on your immune system and its responses. Its cellular auto-intoxication can lead to cellular hypoactivity and death. In our opinion, this is where cancer originates.

Lymphatic System Vessels

Lymph vessels extend throughout your body and mimic your blood vessels, except they are larger. The lymph capillaries (and blood capillaries) extend into almost all the interstitial areas of all cells. They are not found in the bone marrow, the epidermis (outer layer of skin), in cartilage, or the central nervous system.

Blood plasma that leaves the blood capillaries nourishes and carries energy factors to cells. The cells’ wastes from metabolizing these elements are excreted into what now has become the interstitial fluid, which is collected into the small capillaries of the lymph system.

The small capillaries lead into the larger lymph vessels (veins with valves) and off to the lymph nodes and filtering organs, like the spleen, liver, tonsils, and appendix, etc. The lymphatic vascular bed moves throughout the body in the same way your blood vessels do.

The thoracic duct, which begins in the abdomen, acts as an enlarged sac, which receives lymph vessels from the lower extremities (limbs) and pelvic areas, including the stomach and intestines. This thoracic duct moves upward through the thorax, picking up lymph vessels from the ribs (intercostal areas).

It then moves to the left subclavian area (trunk), where it recedes and drains the left upper extremities. The left jugular trunk also drains here, which allows the left side of the head and neck to drain properly. The right side of the head, neck, and thorax drain or are connected to the right lymph duct.

As the lymph flows through the lymph vessels toward the subclavian veins, it passes through the lymph nodes, which contain macrophages to phagocytize (consume and destroy) bacteria or other pathogens (antigens). As the lymph fluid is cleaned, neutralized, and filtered, it re-enters the bloodstream at the internal jugular and the right and left subclavian blood veins.

Lymphatic System Nodes

You have thousands of small septic tanks called lymph nodes throughout your body. Your lymph nodes are bean-shaped holding tanks, or “septic tanks,” that are used by your lymph system to filter, neutralize, bond, and destroy pathogens (toxins), antigens, etc. They consist of a fibrin net, which serves as a filter for lymph cells. Lymph nodes range in size—from that of a small penny to almost the size of a quarter.

The lymph nodes consist of:

• Lymphocytes (including T and B cells)
• Neutrophils
• Plasma cells
• Macrophages (large amounts)
• Antigens
• Antibody molecules

The main network, or grouping, of lymph nodes, are in the:

• Neck, upper shoulder, and chest area. These serve as filters for the head area (cervical nodes)
• Axilla (armpits), which filter the thoracic (chest) areas and upper extremities (axillary nodes)
• Groin area for pelvis and legs (lower extremities, inguinal nodes)
• Mesentery or abdominal area (filters the gastrointestinal tract)

When the lymph system becomes overburdened with toxins, parasites, weakened cells from acidosis, mucus, metabolic wastes, etc., your lymph nodes will become enlarged and swollen. Your tonsils are an excellent example of this. Dairy products and refined sugars cause a lot of mucus production from the mucosa, which in turn causes congestive problems (including sinus, throat, bronchi, and lungs, etc.). When the tonsils swell from this massive overload, sore throats, inflammation, and mucus discharge are some of the symptoms. Colds and flu are other symptoms of congestion needing to come out.

When doctors remove tonsils because of a lack of understanding about congestion and the lymphatic system, it sets up a chain reaction. Removing the tonsils causes a burden on the lymphatic system (in the surrounding tissues). This then leads to stiff necks, cervical spine deterioration, pressure build-up in the brain, ears, eyes (glaucoma), etc. Most doctors do not know how to aid the body in ridding itself of this congestion.

Detoxification is the only true answer to this problem. Tissue removal and the treatment of symptoms with sulfa drugs (antibiotics) only add to the problem.

Is Spleen Part of Lymphatic System?

Your spleen is an oval-shaped, semi-dark red organ. It is located on your left side (upper left quadrant), to the left of, and behind (posterior to) the stomach.

In the embryo stages, the spleen served as a red- and white-blood-cell creator. However, shortly after birth, the spleen produced only lymphocytes and monocytes (WBCs). The spleen is full of the type of lymphocytes called macrophages, which remove pathogens and toxins of all kinds from the blood and lymph.

The spleen acts as a blood reservoir or holding tank where blood is stored for emergencies. The spleen also destroys weakened, toxic, and old blood cells, creating bilirubin from their hemoglobin. Bilirubin gives bile its unique color.

Keeping your spleen healthy helps to keep your immune, lymphatic, and blood systems healthy. In spiritual circles, the spleen reflects the lower mind (called the “causal mind”), where duality or creation truly starts. Your spleen is the vehicle for universal mathematics that affects your physical body. Its spiritual color is orange.

Thymus Gland

Your immune system is essential for your survival. It is your first line to protect yourself against any disease-causing material. The immune system is made up of special cells, glands, and organs.

What does the thymus gland do? Well, it is pertinent that your immune system’s most important component is the Thymus gland. This pyramid-shaped organ is responsible for producing lymphocytes and T cells. Without these cells, your immune system fails.

Thymus Gland Location

The location of your thymus gland in your chest is directly below the sternum. To locate the gland, use your finger to touch the top of your Sternum.

The structure of the thymus consists of two lobes a collection of tissues that mirror each other. They form a pyramid shape which is joined at their top

The medulla, a grouping of tissues in the middle, can be seen. The cortex is loosely packed tissue that surrounds the medulla. They are protected by an outer capsule.

Thymus Gland Function

Lymphocytes, a class of white blood cells that form an essential part of the immune response. The T cells are one of the lymphocyte types that is actively involved in your immunity. These cells got their name from the word thymus and they target and eliminate antigens in your body.

Your Take Away

The physical body is a city unto itself. Your immune and lymphatic systems act like a police force and sanitation department, all wrapped into one. The lymphatic system picks up the trash from each house in the city (each cell); trash will vary, of course, depending upon the “lifestyle” within each house/cell. The lymph system, along with its immune cells, has the job of protecting and keeping your body clean.

Many foods that people routinely eat clog and over-burden the lymphatic system. Colds, flu, allergies, sinus congestion, bronchitis, lung issues— including pneumonia and asthma (with adrenal weakness)—along with mumps, tumors, boils, lymphomas, skin rashes, dandruff, etc., are nothing more than an over-burdened, congested lymph system.

All dairy products (pasteurized or raw), refined carbohydrates (complex sugars), irritants (peppers, cola, etc.), toxic chemicals, foreign protein (meat, etc.) cause a lymphatic response of the mucosa, namely excessive mucus production. Furthermore, these substances can be harmful to cells, especially inviting parasitic invasions. Your lymphatic system’s job is to try to stop this “terrorist” attack within the tissues of the body. However, once the body becomes over-bombarded with this mucus from the lymph system, the mucus itself then becomes the problem. It can block proper cellular function, causing hypoactivity of the respective organ or gland.

Again, an example of this response is seen in the body’s reaction to dairy foods. Their proteins are so abrasive, concentrated, and harmful to us that ingesting them creates excessive mucus production. It creates such a chain reaction that you can feel this mucus building up in your sinus cavities, throat, and lungs. This causes you to lose your sense of smell, taste, and hearing and impedes your breathing. It also congests your thyroid gland, eventually affecting your whole body in a multitude of ways. Ironically, we drink milk for calcium when its effects can lead to the body’s inability to utilize calcium.

Spiritually speaking, your blood and lymph system is a reflection of spirit. It enhances and nourishes you, but it also cleans and educates you. If it becomes “bottled up” or stagnant, you become bottled up and stagnant. Disease sets in and death can occur. Clean and open all the pathways within yourself and let the spirit (blood and lymph) flow through you unobstructed. This brings a sense of well-being that’s unimaginable.
