Did you catch a cold two months ago which has never really been shaken off? Has your child been suffering from repeated ear infections? Are you worried about your child's asthma or your own congested chest? This book takes a fresh look at the immune system and the lymphatic system and its role in fighting infection. The key messages in the book include: how to perform manual lymphatic drainage massage at home to clear blockages; what foods to avoid; how damaged tonsils/blocked lymph nodes are the cause of so many modern illnesses; how keeping your children too warmly wrapped up and heating their bedrooms is a great error; and how positive ions in air conditioning and fan heaters damage the body. It explains how fresh air is crucial, that we need regular exercise to stimulate the muscles that pump lymph around the body, that our kids need germs to help them to build their power to fight bacteria, and that sanitized homes are wrong.
