Re: mysterious swollen lymphnodes

[Guest guest]

I used to get those all the time when I was living in the arsenic-infested

neighborhood and for a year or so after moving off and healing. I used to make

a ginger tea by boiling ginger for twenty minutes and then sipping it mixed

with fresh lemon throughout the day when these would occur. Ginger is good for

clearing lymph congestion and this tea would always clear it up in a day or

so. Also, jumping on a trampoline is good for clearing the lymph nodes. Care

does need to be taken to rule out any cancer or something you don't want to

push out of a lymph node into the body when using things like this but they

worked very well for me.

No, I used to live on a golf course where they over sprayed MSMA, an

arsenic-based herbicide and made many of the people living there sick.

Gaylen, what do you mean by arsenic infested neighborhood? Is that from treated

wood decking? Thanks!

Funny that somebody should post that.. Our first pediatrician (of

many) said that the swollen lymph nodes on the back of 's head when he

was an infant were

" normal and nothing to worry about " . This is the same guy that told me that

cow milk protein does not pass into breast milk in large enough amounts to

affect an infant, and that blood and mucous in the stools is normal to a

certain degree, as long as the child is gaining weight. Also blew off all

of my developmental concerns because sat up and crawled on time--never

mind the fact that he was spaced out all the time.

It just makes me so mad that so many peds have no clue, and I seem to

find all of them (except for Dr. G)

I wasted so much time being naieve and not knowing any better.
