Re: blood pressure/lymphatic

Exercise is an obvious. I didn't mention it and I should have.

But you seem to be under a common misconception...

namely who/what filters the lymph nodes?

The lymph nodes are not an excretory organ.

Ultimately it is the job of the skin, lungs, kidneys-bladder, and liver-gallbladder to actually process and excrete waste.

Yes, some waste can be handled by the skin via direct deposition from lymph, but this is really a backup system. TCM calls skin the third kidney. But wouldn't it be better to have Kidneys 1 and 2 in optimal shape?

In Andreas Moritz ' 'Amazing Liver Cleanse' he provides an in depth look at the anatomical mechanics of toxicity. regardless of whether you agree with his dietary advice (which surely you will not) I think you will learn something interesting there.


By the time disease presents itself in a serious manner many of the lymph nodes will have accretions, some as large as a tennis ball.

Press down on your abdomen about two inches to the right of your navel. Can you press down with sufficient pressure and feel only soft tissue or can you feel an accretion there?


A lot of people are under the impression that the lymph magically whisks away toxicity and this is not so.

It is a secondary circulatory system, but the same rules apply as with the blood, and the trash must be taken out.
