    Thank you for this important topic, Lymph. I read that even the brain has Lymph. Castor Oil and Lymph Is it true that castor oil penetrates below the skin and then drives effluvia toward the nearest lymph node ? Is whole body massage with castor oil dangeerous ? The entire head ?

    OMG great information. My partner is 6 months out from 35 rads and 6 chemo. everything was going accordingly to plan until I say 2 months ago, we noticed swelling on hin neck outside, the otorrino said it looks like lymphedema not to worry. A moth ago he has been having issues specially drinking water, his last exam 2 weeks ago shoe a lot of swelling insinde his larynx and outside his neck. I have ben doing some massages I lerned on you tube. Its a little bit better, what should I do in case? He had stage 4 larynx cancer last PET and last biopsy show there is no cancer.
