Nevada – Dr. Paul Yanick was born with a systemic lymphatic disease
that caused him to go deaf and lose kidney function in his late teens.
During his childhood, his parents sought out every renowned specialist
and were distraught and overwhelmed to find extremely limited
information and treatments available for lymphatic disorders. Today,
forty years later, despite being sent home to die at only twenty years
old; Yanick tells his story and highlights his research in this
neglected medical field in a new e-book entitled “The Forgotten River
of Health.” He reviews his hundreds of research studies which started
in 1976 in the Journal of the American Audiology Society with a
clinical study that linked the swelling of lymph fluids to deafness
and brain and nervous system abnormalities.

Yanick is not alone citing the medical neglect of the lymphatic
system. The 2006 Senate Appropriations Committee Report stated “The
lymphatic system is central to the progression of disease and the
maintenance of health, yet scientific and medical knowledge of this
important system is woefully deficient. According to Michael Detmar,
PhD this forgotten river of health provides a “… hot new field. We are
in a pioneering phase; there is still so much to discover.”

Just as the currents of a river run through the mountains and valleys
to cleanse out the landscape, the body’s internal waterways made up of
lymphatic fluids function as a “river of health,” cleansing the body
by carrying away accumulated wastes and foreign invaders. This
powerful cleansing aqueduct is actually twice as large as there are
twice as many lymph vessels as there are blood vessels. The lymphatic
system is the body’s first line of defense against disease. As the
body’s internal cleansing waterway, it plays an indispensible role in
immunity and in the body’s immune surveillance against cancer. When
immune surveillance fails, cancer grows and spreads (metastasizes),
and inflammatory diseases like fibromyalgia, lupus, arthritis, and
shingles progress into incapacitating disorders.

The lymphatic system is the most forgotten and neglected system of the
entire body. It is composed of a network of thin tubes that branch,
like blood vessels. These lymphatic capillaries carry lymph fluid into
tissues throughout the body. Lymph fluid is loaded with infection-
fighting cells called lymphocytes that originate from clusters of bean-
shaped organs called lymph nodes, which are found under the arms and
in the groin, neck, chest, and abdomen. Lymphatic organs include the
spleen, thymus, tonsils, and bone marrow.

Designed to function as a cleansing aqueduct, bathing each cell and
draining away detritus through the circulatory system, its malfunction
causes brain fog, chemical sensitivity, depression, fatigue, headaches
and often a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen. Stagnant lymph
interferes with the body’s ability to cleanse viruses, bacteria,
mutagenic cells, metabolic toxins and cancer, and it inhibits critical
self-repair and self-healing mechanisms in the body, causing acne,
skin rashes, cysts, tumors, fibrocystic breast lumps, fatty tumors,
and in advanced cases spider veins and cellulite.

In 2005 Nature (436:28) an article entitled ”Unlocking the Drains”
stated, “After centuries of playing second fiddle to the blood system,
our lymphatic circulation is coming into its own as a key player in
diseases ranging from cancer to asthma. Once dismissed as a mere
drainage network, the body’s ‘second circulation’ [lymphatic system]
is emerging as a crucial player in numerous diseases….and as a vital
part of the normal immune system.” Dr. Robert Smith, director of
cancer screening for the American Cancer Society stated, "Lymphatic
diseases, including lymphedema are important health problems which
until very recently received far too little attention."

Wendy Chaite, the Founder and President of the Lymphatic Research
Foundation (LRF), states, “It is the lymphatic system, after all, that
is the body's first defense against disease. A disorder of the
lymphatic system affects virtually every other system in the body.
Research into how the lymphatic system works promises preventive and
therapeutic benefits for millions of people afflicted with a broad
array of diseases. There is tremendous potential for health benefits
hidden within the lymphatic system. The power to discover these
benefits is in the hands of the researchers and in the will of the
patient community and their loved ones.”

Does your lymphatic system need attention? If you are overweight
around the abdomen, have skin abnormalities, allergies, digestive
disorders or have chronic fatigue, anxiety or nervous system issues,
your lymphatic system is already moderately compromised. If you’ve
been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, cancer, multiple sclerosis, multiple
chemical sensitivity, Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease, lupus,
arthritis, asthma or have cellulite or varicose veins your lymphatic
system is chronically compromised with no traditional medical cure
available.
