CAUSES/CURES LYMPH NODE SORENESS
11/06/2011: Anonymous from Anonymous writes: "Ted, When I swallow my saliva, left side (only) of my throat hurts. I noticed my lymph note on my left side right below my chin is swollen a little bit. I have taken 1 dosage of zinc gluconate and 2 dosages of aspirin with vitamin c on Friday and Saturday. Right now still hurting, what should I take?
Thanks."
11/07/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Try bromelain, if they have sufficient quantities it should help clear protein congested lymphatic drainage, the other is digestive enzymes, in capsule form. To reduce calcium buildup, and swollen pain, you need magnesium chloride or magnesium citrate, 100 mg x 4.Selenium is missing in the diet 200 mg x 2, as well as B3 niacinamide, 500 mg before you sleep. The selenium helps your immune system and the B3 niacinamide is helpful if a fungus caused clogging of lymphatic systems. The dosages of aspirin helps but it should preferably be taken for one day 500 mg, hourly for four doses. The fact is you need more zinc gluconate possibly 50 mg for a couple of days (say 5 days). That should help, but I don't know the dosages but we can assume it is of sufficient quantities you are taking.
Vitamin C cannot have calcium otherwise it clogs the lymphatic drainage. It helps by maintaining blood flow and drainage by maintaining the antioxidants and alkalinity in potassium ascorbate or sodium ascorbate kind.
It helps to drink more water, or water with sea salt 1/4 teaspoon per liter drunk throughout the day. It also helps to take DMSO, as it helps facilitate drainage by applying 6 times a day topically to the lymphatic area, but it is made stronger by adding castor oil to the DMSO about 10% to 20%. Actually if it is not serious, the DMSO and its related mixture should help.
The throat area is also near the thyroid glands, and any conditions that have to do with iodine deficiency may also affect it. If the cause is the lack of bowel movements, this affects lymphatic drainage, so magnesium especially magnesium chloride. The acidity of the body may be related to that if you have been working too hard, so baking soda 1/2 teaspoon after meals, 2 times a day may also help. A Lugol's solution added to DMSO will also help somewhat if that is prepared and applied to the throat area.
One thing most people ignore is that the throat area is where cavities of the mouth or sores drain and this clogs the lymphatic areas resulting in somewhat swollen lymph nodes also. So I would consider improving the pH of the saliva if it is acid at below 6.5 and use of some medicated mouthwash may also help, such as listerine.
Another supplement, such as taurine and mannitol helps with the pressure somewhat, although it is not used that often, except where swollen lymph node is connected to headaches at the same time. That often means sodium and potassium imbalance and taurine, mannitol, and potassium citrate is the common remedy. The taurine is taken 1000 mg, mannitol maybe 1000 mg three times a day, potassium citrate 1/2 teaspoon after meals 2 to 4 times a day, preferably after meals. This may increase your bowel movements and also reduce some swollen lymph glands also.

SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES HELP
08/10/2011: Anonymous from Anoymous writes: "Hello Ted, I'm hoping you can help; I don't know what to do as I've had very large swollen lymph nodes on each side of my neck for over a week now, and they are causing a lot of discomfort. My husband had strep throat a couple weeks ago (cured in 36 hours via your recommendations), so at first I thought I caught it, but the white pus spots never appeared on my throat, and while it got a bit sore for a day or two, it wasn't that bad. Then the nodes swelled and I figured it was a reaction to the iodine I had recently started using -- povidone iodine 10% (the only kind I can find here in Jordan), which I've put into my ears with a Q-tip to help stop the itching of a 7-year long fungal ear infection, and painted over my keloids on my shoulders. And I also ate seaweed for a few days and began using iodized salt, pretty much all at the same time (around 3 weeks ago).
Now I'm thinking I ended up using too much, as I didn't take any time off and painted fairly large areas of skin (including my inner ears) multiple times a day. I just now found the four days on/off recommendation and to only paint a small patch with 5% solution. I do also suffer from excess candida, many food sensitivities, some autoimmune problems, foggy brain, poor memory, and also fluoride poisoning (shown by fluorosis of teeth and fluoroderma acne), so I may have also released/killed too much at once(??)
Do you have any recommendations in case this is an iodine reaction? The nodes aren't budging and actually grew larger today. I had two days with no energy and some chills/hot flashes, but otherwise I haven't felt 'sick,' just like I have wounds on my neck giving me a shooting headache and very stiff muscles. I've tried ACV, sea salt with baking soda, green smoothies, lemon juice, spirulina, food based multivitamin, mineral powder, and a bit of bouncing but I can't find a rebounder here. It's Ramadhan now so I'm fasting (no water) during daylight hours but hydrating as much as possible at night. I don't eat processed foods or any chemicals. If this is an iodine reaction, should I try using it again in a few weeks? Do you think it will help with my other problems?"
08/10/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "It's likely to be iodized salt and seaweed, but also painting large areas iodine tinctures all at the same time! The most serious is iodized salt caused the most serious reaction, it is not helping as some people with various allergy issues take seaweed on top of that, and to make it worse, if you have swelling you are not allowed to take sea salt too!The problem of swelling of lymph nodes is too much toxin (die off) build up as the lymph nodes tries to clear the debris, but it is too much and they get clogged. So basically I basically avoid seaweed, iodized salt and sea salt altogether to reduce general swelling. The debris is clogged with proteins and constipation doesn't make any better. So I would consider getting diarrhea with milk of magnesia (with magnesium hydroxide 5% and no alluminum) to clear myself. For the lymph node I will get bromelain or digestive enzymes and take as much as I can handle since there is no standards in digestive enzymes, I will use a common one, say wobenzyme (not the best) and take it two tabs, 6 or 8 times a day, for a couple of days. It also helps if you have astralagus and cordyceps, if you don't, then it does not matter.
The candida is the issue of the body being too acidic and high sugar, so you avoid those, primarily taking baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon twice a day, after meals.
Your concentration will be the enzymes to clear up the lymph congestion due to many junk proteins from dead cells (candida, and others).
Ted"
08/10/2011: Anonymous replies: "Thank you very much! I was drinking the sea salt/baking soda concoction so I'll definitely stop! (I drank it last night and woke up to my right lymph node taking over my neck...) I also noticed I felt worse after eating green beans with sea salt. Now it makes sense! Do you think I should try iodine again after 2-3 weeks?"
08/11/2011: Ted responds: "Iodine is generally the one that helped, but the sea salt is just too much. Green beans may cause bloating for people as it contains enzyme inhibitors."

2 YEAR OLD WITH SWOLLEN LYMPH GLAND IN NECK
11/07/2009: Leslie from Rogers, New Mexico, USA writes: "Hi Ted,
My little granddaughter who is only 2 is having a problem with a swollen lymph gland in her neck. The Dr. has treated her allergy and cold symptoms with antibiotics. The lymph gland is still swollen. It does get better and then worse. They have tested for cancer and her test came back negative. Since it has not gone completely away her Dr. wants to do a needle biopsy. Her Mother does not want to put her child through this. I don't think we are going to be able to get her to sit still for the castor oil packs. Can you tell me a way to get a child to take the ACV, and how much for a small child? If you have any suggestions other than the 2 I've mentioned please let me know. She is otherwise a healthy happy active little girl.
Thank You,
Leslie"

SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES THROUGHOUT BODY
07/07/2008: Baljinder from Rajpura, India writes: "Hi there, I'm suffering from multiple swollen lymph nodes spread across whole body. I 've tried all sorts of remedies(mostly homeopathic). But of no use so far. I just came accross this site and read some of the cases. Can anyone tell if i can be cured? Also, i read in one the posts the patient took a bath of epson salts, baking soda, and apple cider vinegar. what does this mean? does this mean actually bathing with the water mixed with above stuff ?? or what ?"
07/08/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hello to the one with swollen lymph nodes all over body - Google search SSKI (potassium iodide) and pull out article from Tahoma clinic, by Dr. Jonathan V. Wright - You might also want to do search on urine therapy while you're searching."
07/09/2008: Alain from Ottawa, Canada replies: "ALKALIZING BATHS
Hi there,
I do not know much about your condition. From what I read at another site, you may have an acidic lymphatic system. If so, one way to help this condition is to do alkalizing baths. So, I will add a link to a site where you will find plenty of instructions for such baths. The whole forum is about pH balance so if the link is not allowed by EC (although it is not a commercial site), google ph balance moreless alkalizing baths and you should find it pretty easily. Good luck
