The main network, or grouping, of lymph nodes are in the:


Neck, upper shoulder and chest area. These serve as filters for the head
area (cervical nodes)
Axilla (arm pits), which filter the thoracic (chest) areas and upper
extremities (axillary nodes)
Groin area for pelvis and legs (lower extremities, inguinal nodes)
Mesentery or abdominal area (filters the gastrointestinal tract)

When the lymph system becomes overburdened with toxins, parasites,
weakened cells from acidosis, mucus, metabolic wastes, etc., your lymph
nodes will become enlarged and swollen. Your tonsils are an excellent
example of this. Dairy products and refined sugars cause a lot of mucus
production from the mucosa, which in turn causes congestive problems
(including sinus, throat, bronchi and lungs, etc.). When the tonsils swell from
this massive overload, sore throats, inflammation and mucus discharge are
some of the symptoms. Colds and flu are another symptom of congestion
needing to come out.


When doctors remove tonsils because of a lack of understanding about
congestion and the lymphatic system, it sets up a chain reaction. Removing
the tonsils causes a burden in the lymphatic system (in the surrounding
tissues). This then leads to stiff necks, cervical spine deterioration, pressure
build-up in the brain, ears, eyes (glaucoma), etc. Most doctors do not know
how to aid the body in ridding itself of this congestion.


Detoxification is the only true answer to this problem. Tissue removal
and the treatment of symptoms with sulfa drugs (antibiotics) only add to the
problem.


Spleen


Your spleen is an oval-shaped, semi-dark red organ. It is located on your left
side (upper left quadrant), to the left of and behind (posterior to) the stomach.
