The immune system is kind of a thriller. We do not hear much about the place any of our immune system parts are, what they do, how they do no matter it is they do, and so forth.
Nicely, possibly you have heard of lymph glands. Maybe a huge lump showed up on the side of your neck-which, you resolve, can only mean most cancers.
So, off you hie to see the doc, who tells you an allergy induced your tender-to-the-contact lump. You breathe a sigh of reduction and get on with life, happy that it wasn't extra serious.
However, like all of well being, it is good to know slightly one thing about this thriller system.
Our lymphatic system sends lymph, a watery fluid, through a network that includes lymph glands, the place any gunk will get cleaned up. Then the cleaned up lymph will get sent along to the following cease. No less than, that's the best way it's purported to work.
Typically, normally by surgery or an accident, the lymphatic system gets dammed up. Nothing's going anywhere-no cleansing, no transferring along. And great is the ache thereof. And the swelling. With no breaks in the motion.
It is referred to as lymphedema, and if it would not resolve itself, medication does not have a lot to supply.
You probably have, or know anyone that has, lymphedema, I'd prefer to ask a favor.
As most of you realize, I spend my time digging by way of well being research and anecdotal stories. I recently occurred onto one thing bizarre sufficient to work, however I can not confirm it.
I discovered a number of posts, on multiple sites, about uncooked cabbage and/or green tea being highly effective healers of lymphedema.
The posts weren't from research research, but have been testimonies of sufferers.
One woman wrote since she needed to put on compression hose to mattress anyway, she chopped up some raw cabbage and crammed it into the hose before going to bed, simply to see if there was anything to this uncooked cabbage deal. And skilled very positive outcomes. So, she saved it up and got rid of her learn-to-reside-with-it” lymphedema.
And I read the identical form of stories about green tea. Several cups every day. (Natural and never brewed in fluoridated water.)
I do know this sounds actually weird, but it will not harm anything to check it out.
Why not await analysis, you ask? No deep-pockets enterprise is going to cough up huge bucks to check the efficacy of carrying cabbage in your socks.
So it comes down as to if to continue life with a painfully swollen, almost ineffective limb or feel like a dork by trying the cabbage resolution-and probably getting your life back.
If anyone with lymphedema is keen to offer cabbage and/or green tea a strive, I would love to listen to the outcomes, no matter they're.
God is sweet,
