Chiropractic Can Improve Lymphatic Drainage

According to an in-depth review from 2020, "Environmental pollution of heavy metals is increasingly becoming a problem and has become of great concern due to the adverse effects it is causing around the world."  Limiting your exposure to heavy metals is essential.  Unfortunately, most pharmaceutical interventions contain heavy metals and are likely contributing to this toxicity.  In fact, even many herbal medicines can contain heavy metals.  Common deodorants also contain aluminium, which has been shown to be harmful.

It's important to note that heavy metals play a role in many neurological diseases.  According to a review from 2016, "Damage caused by metal accumulation may result in permanent injuries, including severe neurological disorders.  Epidemiological and clinical studies have shown a strong correlation between aberrant metal exposure and a number of neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, autism spectrum disorders, Guillain-Barre' disease, Gulf War syndrome, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Wilson's disease."

Fortunately, your body has a means of detoxifying, with the lymphatic system playing a major role.  While lymphatic vessels are not present in the brain, a groundbreaking study from 2015 finally revealed that the lymphatic system for the brain and spinal cord is contained in the meninges or connective tissue that surrounds the central nervous system.  By improving the motion of the spine, chiropractic care also decreases meningeal tension, allowing these neuro-lymphatic vessels to drain more efficiently.   Along with consistently staying physically active, sweating, and eating your greens, regular chiropractic adjustments can also help to improve the proper drainage of these neurotoxins to allow your whole nervous system to function even better.
