Wommie - give yerself an R or two as well for that chart!

Please, also, a suggestion:

change your Subject box to something like:
"Lymph Node Chart - Head and Neck"

there were SO MANY lymph nodes in one place!

Wow. This really confirms (for ME anyway) why a cervical neck adjustment becomes so necessary for so many of us. Talk about toxins getting blocked in one area! Funny, I don't need this info as much when I'm eating better and not getting so BACKED UP in my NECK!

NOT TO MENTION how incredibly important it is to eat incredibly simply to keep the lymph nodes incredibly clear!

Incredible

Am I being redundant? Or am I repeating too often?

Is anyone listening? Can anyone hear?

Are the lymph nodes blocked near the ears? (I know mine are! Ahhh, nothing like graphics to show me how incredibly important it is for me to get back to eating right!)

PS: Ya know, I have felt the need for an adjustment in my neck SO BAD many times over. Pain was incredible. Felt like the atlas (top vertebra) was WAY out of whack...because it WAS!

I couldn't get to my chiropractor once. I had pain in the neck really bad on a Saturday night, so I KNEW I couldn't see him until Monday! So, I thought, "why not try Dr Shevin's salt push?" I sure didn't want to, I sure didn't feel like it, but the neck pain was so AWFUL it was worth a try!

It took doing the Shevin salt push FOUR TIMES (with 30 minute intervals between each push) to 100% relieve the pain. That's how "backed-up" my neck lymph nodes were! Or perhaps, my lymph system, so that the neck could at least DRAIN. (I did feel improvement between each push.)

Yeah, I can see where painting behind the ears could definitely be helpful!

All of these posts are so much better than my original...maybe I'd be more helpful if I wasn't moving to another state in a couple of days :) Thanks for all the information! I love lymph node maps in particular.

sure, sweets:)
