Lymph

“Malignant tumors that can develop either from blood vessels (hemangiosarcomas) or from lymph vessels (lymphangiosarcomas)...”

“...Bile duct cancer tends to spread into the liver, along the bile duct surface and through the lymph system to lymph nodes in the region of the liver...”

“...The mechanism behind this increased risk was said to be the restricted flow of lymph fluid, which removes toxins from breast tissue, due to less breast movement and constriction caused by tight-fitting bras...”

“...The theory is that tight clothing impedes the lymph system, which removes cancer-causing toxins from the body.”

“...Cysts within the lung generally are air-filled, while cysts involving the lymph system or kidneys are fluid filled...”

“...Chronic dehydration may contribute to a reduction in lymph flow, which in turn may contribute to or cause varied problems...”

“...In fact, the lymph system vessels are just as extensive as those of the circulatory system...”

“Alternative names: Splenomegaly Since the spleen is involved in so many bodily functions, it is vulnerable to a wide range of disorders involving the blood or lymph system, infection, malignancies, liver disease, or parasites...”

“...It is a mucopolysaccharide starch gel, and the serum that leaves the blood capillaries flows through this gel, some to return to the exiting venous blood, some to enter the lymph system.  "The blood feeds the lymph, and the lymph feeds the cells...”

“...The KS cells obstruct the lymph nodes and normal lymph fluid circulation...”

“A cancer formed by cells similar to those lining blood or lymph vessels.  In the past, Kaposi's sarcoma was an uncommon cancer mostly seen in older people with no apparent immune system problems...”

“...Digesting fats and lipids is difficult because they have to be carried by a water-based transport system – the blood and lymph.  Although fat digestion is not concentrated in the stomach, gastric lipase is the digestant to attend to this, and will digest egg yolk and cream, since they are already emulsified fats...”

“Small, bean-shaped nodes at various points in the body that filter lymph fluid and try to destroy microorganisms and abnormal cells which collect there...”

“...Lymphangitis: Inflammation of one or more lymph nodes and/or lymph vessels, usually part of an acute infectious condition.”

“Benign lymph vessel tumors that are usually present at birth.”

“...The lymph moves through the lymph nodes, which act as active purification centers...”

“One of the most significant benefits of castor oil is being a stimulant to the lymph system, improving lymphatic flow and increasing the activity of the cleansing of tissues.”

“...Thickened and sluggish lymph results in swelling and discomfort...”

“...Lymphatic fluid (also called lymph) is rich in white blood cells that fight infection and an important part of the body's immune system.”

“A type of white blood cell found in lymph, blood, and other specialized tissue such as bone marrow and tonsils, constituting between 22 and 28 percent of all white blood cells in the blood of a normal adult human being...”

“...There is a rich plexus of lymphatics beneath the nipple and areola in both men and women, and the subareolar location of most male breast cancers allows easy access of tumor cells to these lymph channels.  Male breast cancer is rare but afflicts approximately 1,000 men per year in the U.S. Most men with breast cancer are in their 60s, but the disease can strike younger or older men...”

“...data, massage therapists have said for years that massage relaxes people, reduces blood pressure and heart rate, relaxes muscles, increases range of motion, and increases the flow of blood and lymph, thereby cleansing the system...”

“Pertaining to the great fold that holds the small intestines, blood vessels and lymph in a great curtain, connected with the back of the abdominal wall.”

“...The various species of flukes – tiny flat worms that look like odd-shaped pancakes – include blood flukes, fish flukes, intestinal flukes, liver flukes, lung flukes, lymph flukes and pancreatic flukes...”

“Milroy's disease is a rare, incurable disease due to poor development of the lymphatic system, with a consequent chronic pooling of lymph in the legs often with recurring attacks of thrombophlebitis...”

“...Once they are in the intestine (specifically, the duodenum), the eggs hatch into larvae which penetrate the wall of the intestine and enter blood or lymph vessels and end up in the lungs...”

“...It is a lymph tonic.  Large doses can cause stomach upset (vomiting, diarrhea), a weakened heart, and low blood pressure...”

“Sepsis, like septicemia, is an infection that has moved deeply into the body, involving the subcutaneous or submucosal layers, connective tissue, lymph system, or blood...”

“...The types of tumor that can develop from different soft tissues include ... Tumors of Blood Vessels and Lymph Vessels – Hemangiomas; lymphangiomas; angiosarcomas; Kaposi's sarcoma; hemangioendothelioma...”

“...Stillingia is still occasionally added to formulas used for the cleansing of the lymph and blood systems...”

“...However, cancer cells can also invade neighboring organs, and break away and travel to distant parts of the body via the blood stream and lymph channels.  In general, the further that stomach cancer has spread from the original site, the less likely it is that the condition will be cured...”

“...Doctors examine lymph tissue microscopically to help determine the stage of the disease...”

“This is the body's main lymph collecting vessel...”

“...This disease is due to poor development of the lymphatic system, with a consequent chronic pooling of lymph in the legs evidenced by abnormal swelling...”
