And the latest research with regard to the lymphatic system
In a stunning discovery that overturns decades of textbook teaching, researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have determined that the brain is directly connected to the immune system by vessels previously thought not to exist. That such vessels could have escaped detection when the lymphatic system has been so thoroughly mapped throughout the body is surprising on its own, but the true significance of the discovery lies in the effects it could have on the study and treatment of neurological diseases ranging from autism to Alzheimer's disease to multiple sclerosis.
.' There has never been a lymphatic system for the central nervous system, and it was very clear from that first singular observation -- and they've done many studies since then to bolster the finding -- that it will fundamentally change the way people look at the central nervous system's relationship with the immune system."

Daughter thinks it's a bunch of mumbo jumbo that chiropractors use to get clients. Yeah, whatever! Been doing it and it seems to be working!
I am using a different video though as this one just seems easier to follow with. Ears still fluid filled but nose better and pressure above eyes is gone! I'm a believer. Still considering a rebounder too.

"He's a chiropractor so he must know what he's doing."

O....M....G.

Who let your brain out of its matchbox today PIN!

K. Teague, I'm kinda surprised to find you in on this...

For crying out loud would you all look at real research (or talk to your doctors) and stay away from gobbledegook!

Maybe I am missing something but this seems like the type of therapy that won't result in harm if you decide to try it and it doesn't work, particularly if you do do it without spending a fortune going to a professional.

Agree you can't assume that just because someone is a chiropractor that they know what they are doing. You can also say the same thing about doctors as many people who have posted horror stories about their sleep doctors on this board will attest. Same for primary care physicians who kept blowing off complaints that screamed sleep apnea and as a result delayed treatment for many people. You can also say that about naturopaths as many folks who hate conventional medicine think they can do no wrong when actually, they can.

No matter what, I hope people get the relief they are seeking.

49'er - I agree with every word you said . It's just hard to get up in the a.m. and see that stuff (esp. from you-know-who). Maybe I'll stop checking in here so early in future.
