Why is the lymphatic system taught? The lymphatic system is our 2nd circulatory system. The lymphatics parallel the blood stream everywhere the blood flows. The blood stream and the lymphatics completes a circuit for blood protein circulation in the body. The live blood analysis gives insights as to what is happening in the blood, and the dry layer analysis gives insights as to what is happening in the lymphatics. Looking at live blood under the microscope is just a portion of what you can do with your microscope. Looking at the lymphatics through the dry layer technique furthers your analytic capability - and furthers the services you can provide your patient.
You talk about further services to my patients, how can I use this form of microscopic auditing beyond nutrition? Let's say you complete a dry layer audit and you learn that your patient's lymphatic system has poor circulation (this is something you might infer with the dry layer perspective). This is an opportunity to introduce lymphatic drainage massage, associated ozone steam baths, etc. into your practice. This area can be a stand alone profit center that brings positive health results to your patient by helping them detox, as well as providing new revenue to you either through your own hands or that of a massage therapist. Likewise, the dry layer perspective could reveal a colon in serious need of a clean up. This could open an avenue for a colonics therapist or a strong reciprocal referral arrangement. These are just two examples. The different blood educational techniques you will learn will be giving you insights to directions to choose for your patient's health that are in addition to nutrition. We cover some of these areas in class. |
