Hey guys: BugJune's comments on exercising the lympathic system started me researching on-line but I could not get the full abstract - In 1969, physicians Brunner and Fleischlin (1992) developed seven body exercises that support the natural drainage function of the venous and lymphatic reflux system. While these exercises have been modified, these exercises are still practiced today to enhance immune function. I googled and found it in PubMed (in German) - however could not open it - Kosmed could you do this for us - I was just curious as to what the Exercises were -

Larazelle, While not scientific, here is the site I used to teach myself how to do self-massage for my lymph: http://www.ehow.com/how_2301590_do-lymphatic-massage.html?ref=Track2&utm_source=ask(It has a video you can watch and lists 8 simple steps for the actual massage.) When my cankles were really, gawdawfully huge, I found immediate relief for about 15 minutes after doing these 8 steps. But it wasn't enough. No. I had to get out and start walking 45 minutes a day PLUS do these massages, which I've now done for almost a week together. The good news: my cankles have been GONE for 2 days now. Could I be on the mend?!? If so, I just have my peeling fingertips and horrid rash to contend with.

It's not available at my uni, which doesn't carry the foreign publications unless they are major.
Sometimes it's hard to find anything before 1995. A lot of that remains in hardcopy only.

Rebounding (jumping one of those mini trampolines) is supposed to be good for increasing lymph flow. People talk about it on some health forums I am on. Just Google "lymph rebounding".

Sure sounds fun as all GET-OUT! :-) There is a mini-trampoline at our gym ... yeah, I'm thinking of getting back to the gym next week - rash, raccoon eyes, peeling fingertips and all! ===================================== CassVersion2.0 wrote:Rebounding (jumping one of those mini trampolines) is supposed to be good for increasing lymph flow.

BJ- I think our gym may have one too - but do you think it may hurt my knees or feet - I have a problem with my right foot (arch fatigue) and I always have to be careful about my knees - I guess I will not be hitting the ground but I still worry -

I'm no doc - and you could always consult with an orthopedic one, but a trampoline has "give" to it. So there should not be the SHOCK factor of one's feet slamming against a hard surface (such as may happen if you jog on a treadmill). There are two other machines I use and recommend for you: the ArcTrainer (like a WILD standing bike ride) and the glider (the one I use has arm swingers, too). Neither of these machines will cause ANY impact on your foot or knees. You just use the glutes to keep the motion going. I hop on one for a 300-cal burn; then hit the treadmill for interval sprints for another 150-cal burn. Or ... perhaps I should say, I WILL be returning to do this workout next week in a modified manner. I've been feeling just all-over kind of wobbly and weak of late. Hope that goes away soon. ========================= Larazelle wrote:

Sit on a washing machine. It vibrates the whole body and that's the equivalent to helping with the lymph drainage. Larazelle wrote:Hey guys:
