Moderate-HighGBS: 72 (Moderate-High Risk)detox

Lymphatic Drainage Protocol

Developer: Bruno Chikly, C. Samuel West

Ongoing practice, improvements in weeks to months

Protocol Overview

Manual and therapeutic techniques to stimulate lymphatic flow and drainage, combined with lifestyle modifications. Addresses often-overlooked lymphatic system for detoxification and immune function.

Conditions Treated

Lymphedema

chronic inflammation

detox support

immune support

Protocol Steps

Dry brushing: Before shower, brush towards heart with natural bristle brush - start at feet, move up legs, hands to shoulders, belly in clockwise circles

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD): Professional sessions with certified MLD therapist 1-2x weekly initially (Vodder or Chikly method)

Self-massage: Gentle pumping motions on major lymph nodes (neck, armpits, groin, behind knees) - 10-15 minutes daily

Rebounding: Mini trampoline 10-20 minutes daily (gentle bouncing stimulates lymph flow)

Compression: Consider pneumatic compression devices (NormaTec, Lympha Press) or compression garments if lymphedema

Exercise: Walking, swimming, yoga - muscle contraction pumps lymph (avoid excessive sitting)

Hydration: 2-3 liters water daily - lymph is 95% water

Deep breathing: Diaphragmatic breathing creates vacuum that moves lymph (5 minutes 3x/day)

Herbs: Cleavers tea, red root, burdock root support lymphatic function

Castor oil packs: Over abdomen/liver 3x weekly with heat for 45-60 minutes

Infrared sauna: 2-3x weekly to stimulate detox and lymph flow

Contraindications & Risks

Active cancer with lymph involvement (controversial - consult oncologist), acute infection, congestive heart failure

Important Notes

Lymphatic system has no pump - relies on movement, breathing, muscle contraction. Often overlooked in health protocols. MLD is evidence-based for lymphedema post-mastectomy. Dry brushing and self-massage are accessible home practices. Rebounding uniquely stimulates lymph. Castor oil packs have long traditional use. Combining multiple methods is synergistic. Dehydration impairs lymph flow. Sedentary lifestyle causes lymph stagnation. Important for detox and immune function.

About GBS Score

The Gabriel Bullshit Score reflects the magnitude of institutional response, controversy, and documented concerns. Higher scores indicate greater institutional pushback, not necessarily inefficacy. This is a research tool, not medical advice.
