Key Takeaways:
- The lymphatic system is vital for health and detoxification. Most diseases and health issues are related to problems in the lymph system, not the blood.
- The lymph system moves cellular waste, acids and toxins out of the body. When it becomes congested or sluggish, pain, swelling and tumors can develop.
- The kidneys and skin are the main organs that help eliminate waste from the lymph system. The adrenal glands control the kidneys' function.
- Most cellular waste is acidic in nature. The lymph fluid is thicker and lipid-based to help buffer acids and move them out of the body.
- Acids damage cells and tissue, so the body must produce base chemicals and compounds to counteract acids and maintain pH balance. Cholesterol, estrogen, and progesterone help combat excess acidity.
- Understanding the lymph system and how to move lymph fluid through diet and herbs is key to detoxification and healing. Fruits and berries are especially good for lymph drainage.
- Dr. Morse is critical of chemotherapy and radiation for being highly acidic treatments causing damage to tissues, questioning why they would be used to treat [cancer] cells that are already damaged by acids.
