stagnant and painful thoracic duct

[foster]

Shelley....I think this is my main health impediment. Can you tell me ALL the ways you know of to address this. I am starting to sleep with my head lower than my legs and I have a rebounder. What else can I do? Sometimes it feels like ive been shot in the back. :shock: :shock:

please describe the pain more. I don't want to assume it's the thoracic duct, especially since we don't usually feel pain there even if it is clogged.

Is it a burning pain, or an ache? sharp, or dull? Constant, or throbbing? Does any action on your part increase or decrease it?

Its dull and it comes and goes throughout the day. The lymph nodes in my neck are the size of marbles as well. If it were my thoracic being clogged, what would you suggest? If I stretch hard one way or the other I will feel the pain. Sometimes it takes nothing on my part to feel the pain. :(

but do you mainly feel the pain in your back? Like in your shoulder blades? Or in your chest?

Swollen lymph nodes are very telling, but usually messed up lymphatic system goes hand-in-hand with messed up, clogged liver and bowels. So to address the problem thoroughly and completely you'd have to:

1. Get a colonic, preferably an entire series, or do enemas near-daily.
2. Take liver herbs like Livatone Plus
3. Drink Eater's Digest Tea (peppermint, fennel, cinnamon) whenever the tongue is coated, the rest of the time any combo of Nettle/Green Tea/Kombucha/Reishi/Dandelion (all lymph cleansers).
4. Take Colostrum - it's a fantastic immune system strengthener
5. Liver flush.
6. Drink 1/2 cup of Kefir daily and eat saurkraut/kim chee.
7. Take 500 mg of calcium, preferably as a Cal/Mag/Zinc supplement, once a day. That helps you be more alkaline which helps your body fight off whatever it's fighting.
8. eat a sugar-free cleansing diet like my candida diet.

The pain is in between my shoulder blades, but not ON my spine, although my spine cracks there alot. I suspect my neurotransmitters are out of whack as well....What can i do about it? How can I find out?

[shelley]

Okay, that's not probably not the thoracic duct, it's probably a combo of liver congestion and mineral imbalance. The previous list is still a good list of things to do, but I would also take care to get enough Zinc, as being without it can cause spinal subluxions. Especially if you get tons of potassium.

A consultation with a chiropractor is usually free, so it's worth it to shop around for a good one and see if there is a curve or subluxion there that needs looking after. If you have a line bisecting your tongue and it's crooked rather than straight, chances are good that you have an incorrect curve. Stretching exercises will often put it back into place, that's all I have to do nowadays - take my minerals, stretch, test for flower essences. And I used to spend thousands on chiro treatments! yeesh.
