T.C Fry on the Nature and Purpose of Disease: TOXEMIA OR TOXICOSIS
When toxic substances from whatever source saturate the blood and tissues, the lymph system and interstitial fluids, then the conditions of toxemia and toxicosis exist.

T.C Fry on the Nature and Purpose of Disease: 3.1.2. TOXEMIA OR TOXICOSIS
As functioning organisms, we generate a tremendous amount of toxic by-products. We generate enough carbon dioxide to kill us within a few minutes. If our lungs failed to function, carbon dioxide buildup and lack of oxygenation would overwhelm us quite quickly. We can accommodate only so much carbon dioxide. And this is but one of many waste products. There are trillions of cells in the human body. Tens of billions of these expire every day. They are replaced by new cells. The old cells are broken down by lysosomes, enzymes that reside in a little organelle within the cell itself. Upon cell death, these enzymes break the cell down into many smaller components for elimination. These components are cell debris. Some of these components such as iron, protein, and amino acids are recycled by the body. Some 95% of the body's iron needs and 70% of its protein needs are met by recycling. Certain other of the body's needs are met by recycling as well. This will give you some idea as to the immense providence and wisdom of the body in meeting its needs. Other components of the decomposed cell are the RNA and DNA. These are toxic while in the system. If they accumulate as they do in most humans in today's society, a condition of intoxication (toxemia and toxicosis) exists. These are what medical people call viruses, and they mistakenly attribute to this dead debris the powers of life and malevolence.
Tissue and blood saturation with toxic materials can be caused by both internally generated wastes and pollutants taken in from the outside which the body has not been able to eject from the vital domain. Intoxication occurs when we overload the body with toxic materials from the outside, or we fail to observe our capacities, and overwork, get insufficient sleep, or are subjected to great stress, or when any number of other factors deplete the body of nerve energy or prevent its sufficient regeneration. For instance, stresses, emotional shocks, or traumatic experiences can drain our bodies of nerve energy very quickly. It's just like shorting out the battery of a car.
At some level of intoxication, we begin to experience the next stage of disease which is called irritation. (which will be covered in tomorrow's post)

I found this fairly decent diagram of the lymphatic system which I thought may be helpful in visualizing the body's cleaning systems. We can see that there are many lymph nodes around the body that waste drains into and those lymph nodes will often swell and become painful as the body cleans. Sometimes they also get hard.
If you have ever felt a hard bump in and around your armpit or under your jaw you have felt a lymph node. Most people notice the lymph nodes under their jaw swelling during colds and flu as part of the healing process.
Unfortunately, the medical industry sees this cleaning process as a mistake the body is making and will apply various poisons (antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, chemotherapy) to try to stop the swelling of the lymph node which is part of the cleaning process the body undertakes to heal itself. They even resort to cutting out lymph nodes and using radiation on lymph nodes to stop the body from cleaning and repairing itself.
This diagram does not include every lymph node in the body and you can get more detailed diagrams of specific areas but it gives a good overview of generally where the lymph nodes are - in the joints, groin, neck, and armpits with the largest quantity around the organs.
This guy knows all there is to know about lymph he’s amazing.
