May strengthen the immune system as a result of the lymphatic system being stimulated
Although there are no published double-blind trials that conclusively prove the immune system is strengthened by MLD, it is well established that the lymphatic system plays a vital role in immune health. T-lymphocyte cells are manufactured within lymph nodes and debris or disease such as dyes or TB can actually be encapsulated by the body within the nodes themselves. The lymphatic system aids the immune system in destroying pathogens and filtering waste so that the lymph can be safely returned to the circulatory system. It removes excess fluid, waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, cancer cells, and toxins from cells and the tissue spaces between them, as well as works with the circulatory system to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and hormones from the blood to the cells that make up the tissues of the body.
