Topic: Lymph System Drainage

Sharon talked a bit about her history and some of the issues she was facing.  I submitted detailed information on lymph system drainage, which can aid us greatly in dealing with autoimmune issues.  In the 1990s, Dr. Ray Perrin DO, PHD an osteopath and neuroscientist from Manchester, UK hypothesized that an important component of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia syndrome involves a disturbance of lymphatic drainage from the central nervous system leading to a build-up of pro-inflammatory toxins, especially post-infectious cytokines.  The lymph system needs to be activated by movement.  Simple walking, yoga can do it or jumping on a trampline.  Lymph flow is important for delivery of nutrients to the body and transmits chemical messages.  Let's get those bodies moving folks.
