The Lymph Cleanse & Renew Protocol*
Our lymphatic system is vitalfor good health, yet the most ignored. It removes cellular waste, especially from our immune system. It’s comprised of tonsils/adenoids, lymph nodes, and vessels (there’s more lymph than blood vessels!), but also the spleen, liver, intestines, kidney, and brain. In fact, the lymph system supports every cell. The protocol should be performed for 2-3 weeks.
Chronically poor lymph function is a silent, unseen process until there’s abnormal lab markers or swollen lymph nodes. Deeper insight shows lymph stress can be bad skin, swelling, fatigue, weak vision, brain fog, body odor, frequent infections, lumps, bumps, tumors, and more. Optimal lymphatic integrity is required for health recovery and optimal cell vitality.
CAUSES
Other than trauma, surgery, acute illness, and certain RX medications, poor lymphatic integrity is often due to one or more of the following:
- Toxins or Chronic Pathogen load
- Cellular Acidity & Low Cell Oxygen
- Reduced Cellular Mitochondria (or function)
- Organ Weakness of Intestines, Liver/Gallbladder, or Kidneys
- Sedentary Lifestyle
SOLUTION: Our unique protocol targets and restores health to our complete lymphatic system by:
1) Reducing Toxin & Pathogen Load
2) Alkalizing the Body
3) Increasing Cell Energy/Voltage
4) Eliminating Cell & Organ Waste
The Lymph Cleanse & Renew Protocol
Consists of 3 Parts
1) TARGETED NUTRITION
A) Diet – Read and follow my web article Food for A Healthy Life, found under the Learning Center. This is a plant-based diet based on years of research and evidence from all over the world. It’s not just for lymphatic health, but helps restore cellular vitality for the rest of your life. Note: for severe conditions, add more astringent, high-energy foods like red or purple grapes, citrus, melons, and berries every day. Another powerful tool is drinking 16oz. of FRESH celery juice on arising, at least 20 minutes before anything else. IMPORTANT: The single most important dietary action you can take for cleansing the lymphatics is to LOWER YOUR FAT INTAKE. Yes, even the healthy ones. All fats must intially be transported through the lymphatic vessels before they reach the blood. ALL FATS & OILS SLOW LYMPH FLOW!!!
B) Targeted Lymph Organ Support – These include the liver, intestines, and kidneys. Follow suggestions for each organ (dose is as directed on bottles), and as many of the foods as you’re able.
C) Lymph Drainage – *Neem Plus caps or *Flor-Essence Tea. Available as liquid or bulk tea. Equally effective.
IMPORTANT: * These products are available on our web Virtual Pharmacy at 20% off. *GI Fortify powder by Pure Encapsulations. *Triphala by Organic India. *Neem Plus by Ayush Herbs. *Flor-Essence by Flora. All products are taken as directed on label.

2) HOME THERAPY
Choose one or more of these therapies. Some conditions may benefit by including several. Do what you feel OK in performing regularly. * = Best Choices
A) *Neuro-Lymphatic Reflex point massage. See my website article for the document with diagram and instructions. Perform 2-3x weekly.
B) Dry Skin Brushing. See my website article for details. Perform 2x/week or more. Just don't overdo it or your skin can get irritated.
C) Castor Oil Packs. Apply to any area of concern. Great for any local organ or gland issue. See my website article for instructions and details. Perform 2-3x/weekly.
D) *Dry Sauna. See my website article for details on my personal favorite sauna.
If not able to purchase your own sauna, try health clubs, gyms, or spas.
E) *Rebounding. A rebounder (mini-trampolene) is fantastic and fun!
F) Foam rolling. This is easily demonstrated on youtube.
G) *Exercise. Any movement is good, as the lymphatic depends on movement (active or passive). Have pain or a disability? Consider yoga or rebounding.
H) Massage. This is a wonderful passive method to move lymph flow. Most all massage is good for lymph, but a lighter, broad-contact technique, with strokes directed toward the heart is preferred. For more info, see www.vodderschool.com.
I) *Nasya Therapy! This is a main ayurvedic therapy, especially for any issues with the head, face, or neck. Simply place 3-4 drops into each nostril while you are lying down with your head tilted back. Be sure to breathe in deeply through the nose after the drops are administered to help the herbal-infused oils reach deep. Do once a day. Not to be used during pregnancy. Wait at least 1 hour or more after eating, and do not perform immediately after bathing or with wet hair. I recommend the brand by Banyan Botanicals. This is also available on my web pharmacy.
3) CLINIC THERAPY (optional)
A) LYMPH FLUSH technique. Performed in my office. Combines key lymphatic reflex point therapy, vibracussor stimulation of lymph channels, cranial work, visceral manipulation, and lymph pump techniques. Requires a 15-minute appointment. This is less important than #1 and #2, above.
IMPORTANT! Start slow on the Lymph Cleanse & Renew Protocol. Lymph drainage and removal of cellular waste can elicit ‘detox’ symptoms such as headache, rash, joint pains, low energy, or others. For Targeted Nutrition, consider starting at ½ dosage, and maybe start with just one of the Home Therapies. Increase as you’re able. As with all new products or therapies, if adverse reactions occur, stop for a few days, then try at ½ amount. Remember to drink lots of pure water! Duration of the Protocol can be weeks or months, depending on the case. If you have concerns or questions, contact Dr. Barsten or your physician.
