Understanding the Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is discussed only very rarely in the mainstream scientific community, although lymph nodes sometimes are more often. If somebody is trying to get themselves healthy and well, and especially if this person is interested in detoxifying and cleaning out their body, he or she should definitely be very interested in an in-depth understanding of this vast and critical system.

The lymphatic system is the plumbing system of the body. It is where acidic chemistry and toxins go to be eliminated. An issue that can come up is that many people’s lymphatic systems become overloaded and thus become stagnant and toxic areas.

Just imagine what happens when a plumbing system gets backed up, and wastes are not draining and filtering properly. If this happens within the body, the toxicity can expound and become worse and worse the more that the lymphatic system is not filtering out the wastes effectively.

If left unfiltered, this can be a perfect breeding ground for parasites and harmful organisms (which feed on acidic conditions). Also, this level of acidity and toxicity can cause damage to surrounding cells which can encourage all sorts of degenerative health problems.

The lymphatic system relies on chemistry to stay balanced. It is tied into the kidneys, which filter the liquids in the body and excrete toxins into the urine. Therefore, the lymphatic system is always striving to achieve a more alkaline state to combat the constant influx of acids, which are either brought into the body or created within the body due to metabolic wastes. In other words, just from the body moving around and exercising, or by digesting foods, acids are created. Part of the logic behind the approach of Rapid Regeneration is that it would be helpful to give more alkaline conditions to the body, to help the lymphatic system stay balanced and not get too acidic.

The lymphatic system is also tied into the liver, which regulates fats, because it is also an oily, lipid-based system — like liquid soap, it’s a mixture of oil and water. The lipids are used to create a buffer so acids will not harm tissues — for example disintegrating a hole in a circulatory capillary. This is also where cholesterol plaque may be observed, which is oftentimes perceived as the causative problem itself. Actually, it’s just a symptom of the body being overly acidic. The lymphatic system is simply protecting the veins and arteries by creating a plague wall of cholesterol which shields against acids.

The same is also true where you get somebody who is getting swelling up of certain areas of the body, and is retaining water. This person is likely becoming very acidic and the lymphatic system, with its own divine intelligence, is holding water in order to dilute the surrounding acids. So the swelling and water retention are often looked at once again as the causative problem, but actually it goes deeper than that.

You can even have lumps and swollen blobs that form in the body, which can be seen as a great distressing problem. These are typically lipid blobs that get formed. The question that comes in mind is — what is inside? Indeed, the lymphatic system can form a lump or blob that is literally a protective layer to encapsulate an extremely acidic and toxic slurry of chemistry from spreading and literally disintegrating the surrounding tissue. The lump bears the heat being perceived as the causative problem and once again you likely have an intelligent lymphatic system that is just reacting defensively to a very serious state of over-toxicity and over-acidity.

Yes, the lymphatic system is that wide-reaching where it is connected to every far-reaching section of the body. In fact, you can think of the lymphatic system as occupying all of the ‘in-between’ spaces. The entire lymphatic system is not an encapsulated organ, like the skin is — rather, it is the areas in between everything else, existing in the ‘space between’ all other cells, organs, and bodily systems.

Lymph nodes operate differently, as they are hundreds of stations within the lymphatic system — these are are hollow pods where wastes get stored, at which point the wastes are consumed and broken down by probiotic bacteria so the content becomes less acidic, after which time these wastes get filtered via the kidneys out of the body for final elimination.

The lymphatic system needs stimulation and a way to keep its fluids moving and filtering out through the kidneys. Unlike the circulatory system, it’s not tied into a heart which constantly pumps and gets pressure from the lungs. That is why it’s important to exercise which moves the lymph fluid, as well as eat cleansing and astringent fruits which stimulate lymphatic movement.

The lymphatic system is the starting place of the vast majority of health problems. If the lymphatic system is unobstructed, flowing, and filtering out every area of the body — and therefore all areas of the body are properly cleaned — the body has a self-healing process which can work well to repair itself and promote proper function of the different systems of the body. Without a clean environment, cleared of harmful acids and toxins, the body will struggle to self-heal because it is under a constant barrage of harmful chemistry, which can cause dramatic defensive reactions from the body in response to to over-acidity and damage to its cells.

At a high level, it is important to understand the role of the lymphatic system, why it exists, what it does, and how it relates to your overall well-being. Next we will talk about how to go after the lymphatic system in order to keep it (and you) healthy!
