Guest guest Posted March 29, 2000 Report Share Posted March 29, 2000 Hi , Yes, I asked my doctor that, there is a cyclic time when they come out every four weeks or so, and die a natural death. Unfortunately only some of them, wish it were all. The swollen glands and lymph nodes are indications your immune system is fighting an infection. I also heard just yesterday that the antibiotics can last in our bodies for weeks.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 My son also had this from the time he was about 7 months old (right side of his neck, and they appeared just after he received his first immunization). I asked every doctor we saw over the course of 4 years what could be causing it, and they all said, " Oh, he's just probably fighting off a virus. " Hmmm...fighting off a virus for 4 straight years? I always pointed out that the lumps NEVER went away, not even for a day, and they always dismissed it. After we started working with our DAN! doc and addressing my son's immune issues, the swelling went away (about 18 months ago). However, we had a behavioral regression this fall (possibly from allergies?) and (you guessed it) the swollen lymph nodes came back for almost 2 months. But he's doing better now and the swelling is gone again. - Becky B. (Indiana) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 I had periods of swollen lymph nodes off and on during the three years that I was healing from arsenic and mercury poisoning (along with candida problems). They'd come and go along with other symptoms. I found these things helped alot: jumping on a trampoline, massage and a detoxifier tea made from boiling fresh ginger in 4 cups of water for 20 minutes and then adding a cup of fresh lemon juice I sipped throughout the day. You can also cleanse the lymph system through accupressure by having the person lay on their back, sitting at their head, you put your hands on their shoulders so the tips of your fingers rest on the indentation under each clivical. Gently pump (about two seconds down, two seconds up) this area for five minutes once a day. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Well, you set my mind at ease a bit. I have been frantic about my sons swollen lymph nodes in his neck for quite some time. All tests are negative. He is seeing another doctor in December and I had planned on bringing it up again. > My son also had this from the time he was about 7 months old (right side of > his neck, and they appeared just after he received his first immunization). > I asked every doctor we saw over the course of 4 years what could be causing > it, and they all said, " Oh, he's just probably fighting off a virus.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 ---Hi Becky, Same here, all the docs looked at the lump with interest and confusion and decided that it was " normal " , just a swollen lymph node...how " normal " can this be??? Can I ask how you have been addressing his immune issues? and how old is your son?...what part of IN? I just moved from Shipshewana, north of Ft. Wayne. The lump had been going down while I was chelating him last summer, when we lived in INdiana, but we moved back to Florida, and ran out of his supplements and unable to buy more...this is when the lump got bigger again...AND his autistic behavior increased, again. I have been able to get a couple of " key " supplements, and this seems to be helping his behavior, he is even beginning to resume some spontaneous signing for communication, eye contact is improving (AGAIN) I get tired of trudging up this same mountain! two steps forward, one step back seems to be the name of the game!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hi, After learning about my daughter's problems with mercury, I decided to find a Mercury-Free Dentist and get my amalgams out. One of the first things he noted was my swollen glands. I have one swell in my neck area or near my ear, and then the next week another will swell and the previous ones go down. I attributed it to allergies before. He told me the swollen glands were related to the mercury. He said that they should go down after we finish and after I chelate. Perhaps your son has the same thing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 ---Could be... his " lump " has been there for several years, only changes being the size...it is always in the same place on the left side of his neck... it nearly went away when I was chelating him, but now it is pretty noticeable again. His DAN doc wanted me to stop using DMSA for chelation and I have been using ALA.

Did the doctor say they are lymph nodes? Lymph nodes get swollen when there is lots of toxic stuff around. Like the liver, they are about detox. It is part of their job, and they can get overworked. Thus people with the flu etc. often have swollen lymph nodes. Presumably the doctor is testing to look for OTHER possible reasons. Here are some things that help the lymph system out: 1. deep breathing -- any kind. 2. aerobic exercise. Walking for 30 or 60 minutes, for example, at a good pace. Bouncing on a minitrampoline is often cited as good for lymph, but ANY aerobic exercise helps. 3. massage. Again, there are specific types that are good for lymph, but any kind will help. 4. skin brushing. Get a brush made for this, at the HFS. I think " drink lots of water " is also on the list, but I may be getting my " lists " confused. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much Moria. > Frederique Here is another idea (which I thought of later, LOL): there are (of course) herbs for the lymph system. You could find info in many herb books--- but here is a tea recipe from FOUNDATIONS OF HEALTH by Hobbs (with minor wording changes)-- this is a lymph cleansing tea. 1/2 part red root; 1 part red clover tops; 1/2 part echinacea root; 1 part lemon peel; 1/4 part ginger Simmer 1 part of herbs with 5 parts of water for 20 minutes. Strain; drink 1/2 cup of warm tea twice a day. (Add honey if desired) =================================================== You can use SOME of the herbs listed above if not all are available. He also lists prickly ash -- used to stimulate lymph activity, help remove stagnation; figwort-- traditionally used in Europe and China to clear heat and reduce lymphatic swelling in the throat and neck; cleavers -- excellent for reducing swelling of lymph nodes, use 40 - 60 drops of tincture 3x a day..... best, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Igenex says on their website that if you have EBV you can get false positives on the Western Blot. They don't give more details. But maybe they could tell you if your profile is the same as a person who has a false positive from EBV. Maybe the bands look a certain way and they can tell. I will be getting my results in a week and probably have to go through this exact same process unless I happen to be negative. ----- Original Message ----- From: edwinasc@... Following these results my doctor sent new blood to IGenex labs in CA. Those results were " equivocal " menaing +/- something there. 39 IgM kDa Western Blot 41 IgM kDa Western Blot 41 IgG kDa Western Blot 58 IgG kDa Western Blot 66 IgG kDa Western Blot 93 IgG kDa Western Blot were my results from IGenex +/- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 After just having a lymph node biopsy, I'll tell you what I have learned. 1.) Most often it is a sign of an internal infection, whether bacterial or fungal. 2.) They can enlarge very rapidly and then take weeks to go back down. 3.) They will check white counts as an indication of cancer and look to see what other markers you carry for lymphoma. Unless you carry the other markers for lymphoma (Epstein Barr antibodies, an autoimmune disease, heavy and prolonged exposure to pesticides and insecticides), they don't generally do a biopsy if your white counts are normal. Mine had been enlarged for over a year and are around 24mm which is over twice the normal size. My white counts were normal but they found I had the Epstein Bar antibodies (mononucleosis), and as I have Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Fibromyalgia, plus my dad was an ag consultant for years and we farmed. I remember helping him set fertilizer tanks for delivery into the ditches and then drinking the water. We also used alot of herbacies and pesticides and defoliants on our farm. So needless to say, they ordered a complete biopsy, not just a needle biopsy. They went into the groin (they are all enlarged) as this was the easiest area to get to without getting into a lot of muscle, and removed several. There was no cancer, but dx was chronic inflammation so back to the Rheumatologist to up my anti inflammatory meds. HTH Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I have one single lymph node on my ribcage on the side, about 6 inches under my armpit, that is swollen and painful. Any ideas what would cause it, and how to get it to go down other than skin brushing and lymphatic massage? I’m a bit confused because there are no other lymph nodes swollen in that area. Kerry Ann>> Swollen gland suggest some infection. You might try that rhythmic " dancing " , bouncing, swinging your arms, etc. The idea is to get the lymph glands " circulating " and draining. But...if you have some infection or other...you should ponder what the source of the infection. .. </HTML> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Either/both. I used to get swollen salivary glands (under chin) a lot at the worst of my mercury poisoning. Only rarely now. S S Hi I get swollen lympth nodes almost permanently under my chin, sometimes on the back of the neck and else where. Is this possibly due to mercury is could it be viral?

He put me on the prednisone because the ones in my neck were swollen they were pressing against my carotid artery and he was afraid I was going to have a stroke. He put me in the hospital and gave me 1 gram (yes, gram) per day for three days and did that again the next month to get it under control.
