Who ever thinks of the effect of stress on their lymphatic system? For that matter, who ever thinks of their lymphatic system at all? That their lymph nodes form a "system"?
Robert Miller of Lymphoma Survival.com talks about stress:
The organ that gets “engaged” to do the work of maintaining balance in the
body is the lymphatic system. If everything in life is in balance (wishful
thinking), there is generally adequate capacity in the system to get the job
done without over-taxing the immune system. BUT, when ANY of the factors
(masses) mentioned above become “abnormal”…either too much or too
little…the lymphatic system is over-stressed, day in and day out.
From Wikipedia:
The lymphatic system has multiple interrelated functions:
- It is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues
- It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chyle from the digestive system
- It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones
- The lymph transports antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells, to the lymph nodes where an immune response is stimulated.
I've looked at a few YouTube videos. Some of them are too technical, some too brief, some are about handing over your life to God after the diagnosis. I am more likely to hand my life over to a naturopath.
