Ty Bollinger: You mentioned exercise. One of the best exercises that I’ve been getting over the course of this investigative report from different doctors and researchers is that you jump on a mini trampoline to stimulate your lymphatic system to help you detoxify. Talk about the lymphatic system. What is the lymphatic system?
Dr. Irvin Sahni: So the lymphatic system is something that I think people aren’t as aware of as their lungs and their heart. The lymphatic system is basically to some degree an overflow valve for the body. So what happens is we all know our heart pumps blood out to our distal extremities. They go from arteries and the arteries go to capillaries and then the capillaries – so most of the blood that pumps through your body is constantly pumping through your body; goes from arteries to capillaries and passes back into your heart through veins and goes in a circuit through your heart and your lungs.
There is some bleed off, okay, and that’s what we call interstitial pressure in tissues. And there’s some bleed off where fluid, and a lot of it has to do with osmotic forces. I don’t know if people remember osmosis, and basically tissue pressure gradients and some of this fluid will bleed off into that interstitial pressure because the pressure inside the vessels is greater than the pressure outside of the vessels and there’s some bleed off; some loss of fluid.
Well, that fluid doesn’t jump back into your veins. It has to go somewhere. That’s why some people get edema. They’ll get swelling in their ankles and swelling in different parts of their bodies. Well, where does that fluid go? Does it just disappear? It goes into your lymph system.
