Lymphocyte - Treatment to Restore Lymphatic Circulation The function of the blood stream to provide nourishment to the tissue cells and to remove waste products from these cells is a fairly well-known principle, perhaps because of the more obvious red blood cells, a cellular fraction of the blood. However, there is no physical contact of the blood with most of the cells of the body. The real cellular environment is provided by lymph and tissue fluids. Lymph is formed from fluid, electrolytes and protein that filters through the arterial ends of the enormous number of capillaries, and the lymph carrying tissue waste products re-enters the capillaries at their venous ends by virtue of differences in blood pressure, osmotic pressure and intercellular pressure. Lymph vessels and nodes make up a lesser-known system which carries fluid back to the venous system. The lymph nodes are located throughout the body as connectors of sort, where tissue draining lymph vessel join to the lymph trunks leading back to re-enter the venous system via the sub-clavian vein. It is in these nodes that lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) are made. The lymphocyte has the ability to pass through vessel and cell walls and to engulf foreign material and organisms which invade the body, so we can see the importance of a healthy lymphatic system in both functions of lymphocyte formation and in moving waste and invaders from body tissue. It is interesting to note that lymph nodes which drain the lungs become black from dust particles. Many of us have noticed swelling and soreness of lymph nodes during illness, indeed, sometimes an acute infection can cause abscess formation and upon surgical drainage the large number of which cells (and their remain) and bacteria give evidence to the battle going on to rid the body of invaders. The lymphatic system is one of the basic systems that effect everything in the body. It effects the defense and homeostatic systems because, in case of the defense system, it is part of the IMMUNE SYSTEM, and with homeostasis, it helps maintain the correct environment for all cells to thrive. TREATMENT: Combination of manipulative techniques and Light Emission Therapy™. The effect of the therapy is to charge the particles so that they repel each other, thereby separating and re-establishing the flow with slight manual urging. Some treatable conditions are:
