I would try massaging the swollen lymph nodes with castor oil 2-3 times a day.

Exercise is also important when you are having lymph node issues. Walking daily. Jump roping a few minutes a day would be wonderful.

Dandelion tea, 2 cups daily, would be something else to do.

If these things do not help after trying them for a couple of weeks, there are other things I would try.

I hope you feel much better, soon.

Going by the sequence of things happened to you, the remedy for your problems is definitely at home and not with any medications (rather they are aggravating the situations).

Swollen lymph nodes are manifestation of "Lymph Congestion" the root of which is chronic dehydration (at cellular level) leading to toxic build up in interstitial fluid... generally known as lymph-edema.

In simple words, what is your daily consumption of water?. A normal adult of 60kg body weight would required a minimum of 3 liters/day (ie 50ml water per kg body weight). Hence, watch your daily water consumption.

When there is no adequate water to dilute the toxins we generate on daily basis (Lactic Acid from digestion of carbohydrates and Sulfuric /Nitric/Uric acid from digestion of Proteins / meats). When there is shortage of water due to inadequate intake, in order to flush toxins /excess salts, body draws it from cells leading to dehydration and build us as edema mainly in Lymph nodes.

The cure is very simple: It is re-balancing of water and nutrients in the body. you will get amazing results in weeks in form of reduced swelling / reduced pains in lymph notes and increased vitality with body pH changing from acidic to ALKALINE.

Protocol to follow:

a) Green / Vegetable Juice 3 to 4 glasses a day. You can choose from variety of them from...Dark leafy greens like Spinach, Cucumber, Carrots, Tomato, Bottle gourd, gooseberry etc... list is endless. They supply all the anti-oxidants to fight the cancerous cells and improve immunity.

b) 3 liters/day of drinking water sipped throughout the day which aids in flushing accumulated toxins while, hydrating the cells.

c) Reduce / avoid meat intake for few months till you get relief. As excess proteins overload the lymph system due to inflammatory uric acid and excess proteins are implicated in higher cancer risk.

d) Get your Vitamin D levels tested. Nearly 95% Asians are deficient. Optimum levels for healthy is 70~100 nanograms/dL. If your vit.D level is low, try taking 1 or 2 tablets per week of 50,000 IU.

e) Look for more information by Dr. Robert Morse, ND on youtube. He has lots of informative videos on Lymph detoxification, self Lymph drainage through natural process.

By following steps a) to d) within few weeks re balancing of body pH, hydration takes place. You will see marked improvements in your health by way of;

• Normalization of Lymph system / reduced swelling and pain.
• Normalization of weight (if any).
• Normalizing the bad effects of radiotherapy.

Wishing you speedy recovery....naturally.
