I read a post recently that touched on the golden 7 plus one.... Importance of lymphatic health for longevity. Who posted this info? I would like to thank you for this contribution. I went through all of my watched threads but can’t seem to locate it :( Anyways, after the reading the post I was interested so I did a little search on YouTube and found this video.... A little too preach-y and droning for my liking but a few things appealed to me in the video..... I’m only half way through it so no summary really other then an interesting focus on the lymphatic and a thing called the “dry state”... essentially removing excess water from the cells by moving the lymph —-sorry if that’s not 100% accurate... Anyways, Samuel West, the author of this research said broken bones can be healed very quickly by removing the water between broken bones, oxygenating st the same time. Pain stems from a lack of oxygen he says and most diseases are from a lack of oxygen..:: Anyways, I read elsewhere that his method of healing the body is moving the lymph with a lymphasizer——-a trampoline/rebounder.... This is becoming more and more significsnt in my research lately, so I bought one to test this out. He also mentions foods that are bad for the lymph and blood proteins that cause issues (sounding like Morse before Morse). Anyeays, here’s the link if anybody is interested and thanks again to whoever put me on to this :)

So by the end of it, he mentioned things to avoid.... coffee, tea, sugar, too much meat, salt or things that dehydrate....not really going to work for many of us here but sounds about par for the course.

He mentioned that things that are good for the lymph: energy(electrodes), bouncing, stroking and deep breathing.

Dry state was the take away for me from the whole presentation.... 2 hours is a long time to spend to dance around that subject. A few interesting references to medical professionals in the lymphology association.

My theory is the body is a piezoelectric device. The benefits of the activities you mention may include the electrical charges fired thru the fascia and bones and ???. My theory is that less is more and that much more often and much more gentle may be a key to effectiveness. Piezoelectricity is only generated when tension is applied and only so much can be generated at any moment anyway, so pressing harder or jumping harder does not generate more.

Note: theory only. No proof available.

I can’t disagree there. I think jumping benefits are relative to gravity (as it is a constant) but there is probably an ideal height where maximum benefit is obtain. I read something about rebounding to about 6” is optimal for lymph based on gravitation force... Idk to though. Movement in general is the key imo

What are your thoughts on cupping therapy? I think it is supposed to move lymph and increase oxygenation.

I haven’t done it before but I could see it’s function/benefits. Anything that increases circulation is good for oxygenation. Just spent 10 minutes on the rebounder and definitely think it’s worth the $43....worked up a sweat even too. Low cost, low tech is where it’s at..Still like shaking the tree (at work and when away from the trampoline) but the rebounder works on a different level I find. Will update later this week to see if I notice any profound effects. Trampoline is felt in the calves for sure

That's very interesting. My diet is mostly sugary foods, meat and some coffee as of late. Many of my lymph nodes are enlarged. Some days more, less on others. I had many dr visits and there seems to be nothing wrong they are just bigger. Eating a lot of sugary stuff (table sugar, fruits, juices etc.) actually seems to shrink them most days. Exercise like sprinting seems to blow them up. Have not tried rebounding yet, will give it a go.
Is correct body posture also a factor in flow of lymph?

@charlie is lymph guy around here so he can chime in at any time :) but posture is important. rebounding also helps with posture. did a 10 minute bounce around this morning before leaving for work. I find the after-effects of rebounding last longer than i initially expected and will definitely keep this up. regarding the foods, I don't think i will be giving up any of the foods (said to avoid)....just trying eat them in moderation. Fruits/juices/milk during the day and a starchy/meat/carrrot for dinner.

Rebounding: Science Behind the 7 Major Health Benefits of Rebound Exercise


Rebounding is not just something that Wilt Chamberlain did better than any other basketball player. Health and wellness advocates recommend a different kind of rebounding — one that improves the immune system and lymphatic health.

For your health, rebounding involves jumping on a mini-trampoline; this increases both blood and lymph circulation. The body contains 5-6 quarts of blood, which is circulated by the heart. But without the lymphatic system, the body cannot effectively eliminate toxins. The lymphatic system is a major dumping ground for toxins and waste products. Exercising on a rebounder promotes the flow of lymph, thereby flushing the toxins.

All forms of exercise work on the principle of opposing gravity, according to Albert Carter, investigative journalist, professional trampolinist, and the world’s foremost authority on rebound exercise. “Gravity starts pulling on us before we are born and continues to pull on us until we die,” he said. “We do have the fight of physical exertion — opposing gravity — and most of us have the idea that when we are opposing gravity, that ‘we’ are the only part of the body that is opposing gravity, but every part of the body, regardless of where it is, has to cope with or adjust to the gravitational pull of the earth.

“What most people don’t realize is, all of the cells of the body, regardless of where they are, have to do the same thing. For example, the lymphocytes, the t-cells, have the responsibility of keeping us healthy but they have to do it in regards to the gravitational pull of the earth.

“Rebound exercises utilizes the forces of gravity, as well as the forces of acceleration and deceleration,” Carter said. “When you land on a rebounder, every cell in the body has to adjust to the increased deceleration. When the springs take over and push the body up into the air, then the body has to adjust to a weightless condition for only a moment at a time. But that weightless condition is throughout the entire body regardless of where the cells are.

“We’ve found that the best exercise is rebound exercise, which allows the more than 100 trillion cells of the body to adjust to an environment that it is not used to, which is deceleration at the bottom of the bounce.”

Rebounding and the Immune System
Inside Knowledge

Did You Know?

There are lymph channels throughout the entire body. You have three times as much lymph fluid in the body as you do blood, and that lymph fluid has to circulate from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head.
According to Carter, one of the most amazing benefits of rebound exercise is how it improves lymphatic circulation, thereby strengthening the immune system and making it more effective.

“There are lymph channels throughout the entire body,” he said. “You have three times as much lymph fluid in the body as you do blood. Lymph fluid has to circulate from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head, but it’s not connected up to the heart.

“The way the lymphatic system works is the lymphocytes, the white blood cells, are moved through the body via one-way valves. You’ve got these valves from the bottom of the feet upwards throughout the entire body – and the valves all point upwards. So when you move the body around, the lymph fluid is always moving in one direction, that is up towards the neck.

“At the top of the chest you have the lymph valves that allow the lymph fluid to flow into the bloodstream, or back into the lymphatic system where it circulates back down into the body. By activating the one-way valves of the lymphatic system, you cause an increase in lymph circulation by 10 times of what the lymphatic system is able to circulate when you are sitting around doing nothing. So when you bounce on rebounder, or jump on the floor, or use a jump rope, the one-way valves open and close about 100 times a minute, circulating the lymph fluid, removing toxins and getting the white blood cells to areas of the body they need to be.”

The immune system is both our civil defense and our janitor, according to Carter. “It clears the body of waste and toxins,” he said.” Our white blood cells are the janitors of the human body.”

Rebounder Exercises for Lymphatic System
You can get all aerobic exercise you need on a rebounder, and get all the lymphatic circulation you need on a rebounder, without the shock and trauma of hitting a hard surface.
~ Albert Carter

“We now understand that one of the most important things we can do for our health and our immune system is to move rapidly,” Carter said. “Jogging is a good form of lymphatic circulation. People are healthier when they jog. The problem with jogging is it is also traumatic to parts of the body such as ankles, knees, back, and legs. This is where rebound exercise comes in. You can get all aerobic exercise you need on a rebounder, and get all the lymphatic circulation you need on a rebounder, without the shock and trauma of hitting a hard surface.

“When we are sitting and doing nothing, the only thing causing any lymphatic circulation is the chest breathing in and out.”

Additional Health Benefits of Rebounding
Poor lymph flow is common in sedentary people; this is one reason why less active individuals are more susceptible to illness. Sedentary people who have poor diets or choose to live on junk food are often unwell because the body sends all the toxins and waste to the lymphatic system. The lymph flow is poor due to a lack of exercise, so toxins accumulate in the body.

Additional benefits of rebounding include:
  • Increased lymphocyte activity (2)
  • Physically strengthens muscular system (3)
  • Easy on joints (6)
  • Helps improve balance (4)
  • Strengthens cells (5)
  • Improves cardiovascular function (5)
  • Helps improve the effects of other exercise- one study found that those who rebounded for 30 seconds between weight lifting sets saw 25 percent more improvement after 12 weeks than those who did not.
  • Builds physical strength, muscular development and proprioception for athletes (7)
Natural News reports bouncing on a rebounder for two minutes every hour is good therapy for preventing or treating cancer. One hour after rebounding, white blood cell count normalizes. Rebounding every hour will keep your immune system in optimum running condition, as rebounding will flush the lymphatic system.

The History of the Trampoline
According to Olympic.org, George Nissen and Larry Griswold built the first trampoline around 1934 at the University of Iowa. It was originally used to train tumblers and astronauts and as a training tool to develop and hone acrobatic skills for other sports including diving, gymnastics and freestyle skiing.

People enjoyed the sensation of jumping and bouncing so much, they began to trampoline for sheer fun, and it became popular in its own right. (1)

Does Rebounding Really Work?
The short answer is yes, and that is backed up by a landmark study completed in 1980. This often-quoted research on the benefits of rebound exercise was completed by NASA scientists who concluded that rebounding on a trampoline is 68 percent more effective than jogging and yet requires less effort.

Below is a short video that explains the findings of the NASA study:

From Trampolinist to Authority on Rebounding
I was like, wait a minute, there’s something phenomenal happening to my kids. That’s when we began to study what was happening to the body (during trampoline exercise) to figure out what in the world was happening to me and my children.
~ Albert Carter

Carter, now 76, has been trampolining since he was 14 years old and spent years traveling the country with his family performing on trampolines as the Gymnastics Fantastics.

It was a long road from trampolining to being an authority on rebound exercise, according to Carter. Carter’s natural inquisitive nature led him to begin researching why he and his family, as well as other trampoliners he knew, seemed to exhibit more physical strength, stamina, agility, and flexibility than others of the same age – even others who diligently engaged in other forms of exercise. For example, his first-grade son did 429 sit-ups non-stop, followed by his fourth-grade daughter who did 476.

“I was like, wait a minute, there’s something phenomenal happening to my kids,” he said. “That’s when we began to study what was happening to the body (during trampoline exercise) to figure out what in the world was happening to me and my children. This is what led us to the study of human physiology.

“It’s at that time we began to study what happens to the physical body, not only in balance and coordination, but in timing and dexterity, which are things we were developing with trampolining. We also found that we had fewer colds, we were healthier, we were stronger, and therefore trampolining was something we were able to indicate that builds balance, coordination, rhythm, timing, dexterity, and kinesthetic awareness.

“We also became concerned about what happens to the inside of the body and what happens to the relationship between good physical condition and cancer. And basically what we found out was the cancer industry either simply was not telling us the truth about cancer or they did not know the truth about cancer.”

The Truth about Cancer, the Immune System and Rebounding
And your ‘only shot’ at defeating cancer is your immune system…If we all had a healthy immune system, we would not have to worry about cancer.
~ Albert Carter

According to Carter, being a non-scientist afforded him the capability of doing research other than what was being done by the cancer industry.

“We are not being told the truth about cancer,” he said. “Cancer is not a disease. It’s a naturally occurring condition of the body. And your ‘only shot’ at defeating cancer is your immune system.

“A healthy immune system is our only real defense against cancer. Most people identify cancer as being a disease. When a doctor finds cancer in a human body, they identify where the cancer is, how fast it’s growing, what the diagnosis is and so on. When, in fact, if you have a few cells which, due to a lack of nutrition, lack of exercise, lack of health, or lack of internal environmental stimulation, begin to grow ‘illegally’ against the laws and rules of the human body, they become identified (by the medical profession) as cancer. This cancer will continue to grow until something stops it. The thing that stops it, many times, is surgery. And the doctors will say they’ve cured the cancer. This is also something I find fault with because virtually everybody on this earth has cancer of some sort. Sometimes it’s so small it is never identified.”

According to Carter, a true disease, or even something as simple as a cold, is caused by a virus or bacteria from the outside of the body which infects the body. “Cancer, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring condition of the body,” he explained. “Everybody has cancer cells – cells that mutate improperly. But the immune system has the capability of identifying the cell that is not functioning properly and attacking the cancer cell and destroying it because it has become an enemy to the human body.

“If we all had a healthy immune system, we would not have to worry about cancer.”

There are four things we humans can do with very little education or effort, according to Carter.

Cell food
“We need to identify what foods are healthy for the body and what foods are not healthy for the body,” he said. “We need to find those foods that are conducive to good health and eat those foods in proper amounts. And we need to stop taking in foods that are not healthy – highly processed foods, alcohol, sugar, etc.”

Cell exercise
“Cell exercise is an exercise that we use to exercise the entire body all at once,” Carter said. “This is where we get involved with rebound exercise.”

Cell environment
According to Carter, cell environment goes back to how the immune system works and how the lymphatic system circulates. Keeping the lymphatic system moving vastly improves its effectiveness and drinking plenty of good, clean water is also crucial to a healthy immune system and a healthy body.

Cell communication
“This is an amazing idea,” Carter said. “Every cell has the ability to communicate with all the cells surrounding it. Any cell that touches another cell is communicating. All cells also have the ability to communicate by sending messages from one group of cells to another group of cells. The cells also understand English. If a doctor tells a person, ‘you have cancer', the person hears the words and accepts the fact they are going to die. All the cells of the body also heard that and will also accept the death sentence.

“Another doctor comes along and gives the patient hope, the cells also respond to that. Changing your attitude has a significant effect on how your lymphatic system performs their duties in fighting cancer.”

As Chris Wark points out, healing cancer requires a total life change. You have to address all the health-destroying factors in your life:

  • A processed food diet loaded with sugar, salt, meat, dairy and artificial ingredients
  • Unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking, legal / illegal drug use, lack of sleep
  • Lack of exercise, and extreme exercises like marathons, triathlons, and even crossfit
  • Chronic stress
  • Negative emotions like guilt and unforgiveness
  • Spiritual sickness
  • Environmental toxic exposure
Rebounding is Safe for Nearly Everyone
Nearly anyone can participate in rebound exercise, according to Carter. “Children can do it as well as the infirm,” he said. For those who are unable to stand, Carter suggested they sit in a chair with their feet on a rebounder and have someone else do easy bounces on the rebounder. Or, an infirm person or someone with limited mobility can sit on the rebounder and another person can gently bounce directly behind them.

There are many simple and safe rebounder exercises for seniors, folks with limited mobility, and beginners.

@Obi-wan thinking about you... Have you tried incorporating this into your routine? I feel silly pushing this (and using it in my condo) but i think there's alot of benefit to be had from something so simple. I was a little embarrassed when i picked up the trampoline (delivered by Amazon) from my concierge....

Cool thread, thanks. Can you share the link to the trampoline/rebounder you use? For $43 I might give it a try to add to my movement regimen.

For some reason the link won’t work...

Just type in stamina rebounder in the search bar on Amazon. The best seller is the one I bought.

A True Story- A friend of mine back in the mid 1990's had a heart attack which left him in a terrible state as he could barely walk around without getting exhausted, like just a few steps and in lots of pain. So he went to cardiologists and they said that his 'widow-maker' artery was completely clogged and that he needed open heart surgery. My friend was too scared to do the operation, fearing that he would never wake up. So what to do?

So instead of doing the heart surgery he opted to pull out his trampoline and start bouncing. He said he could only do the baby bounce, but it was activity that he could do, and he worked up to doing an hour a day, upon what is called the "health bounce" which is a very light jogging. Accompanying this he went on a Dean Ornish diet program, vegan and just kept bouncing. ~~~~~

He never had another heart attack, is doing well, and will not go two days without doing his routine on the trampoline!

He used to like to go to "health expo's" where he would buy juicers, etc, and leave them in the box, and it was at one of these that he saw the demonstration by probably
Al Carter or the West's on lymphasizing and was convinced, bought a rebounder and put it in the closet. Luckily he remembered and he really credits the rebounder
as indispensable to his recovery.

i'd say it's good for lymph movement but not for joints...what do i know though.

any thoughts of albumin being the main indicator of health?

I talked with samuel waaaay back in the day. I thought he was a lunatic. Not that some of his theory isn't true. It's just that the second you relieve the pressure on whatever spot you're trying to protect, the gig is up.

Rebounding while your lymph nodes are in good shape, skin can sweat, kidneys are filtering well, and liver and gallbladder are pumping bile well, is great. Iow just jumping around or walking is not really much, and if it helps a lot you were not in bad shape. The real key is opening up the blockages.

Good to see more lymph discussions here.

I kind of agree with you @robertf. Not really too into Samuel's "teachings". Scientifically though, rebounding feels like an important piece of the puzzle (atleast to me) even in poor health conditions. Everyone and anyone can do it. JMO dough

Just a quick note that oxygen and CO2 are related. A lack of oxygen is actually caused by a lack of CO2. I remember peat talking about this.

This reminds me of Dr. Gerald Pollack’s work with the body’s electrically charged “structured” water. The heart pumps blood but what “pumps” lymph fluid around the body. His work/theory is that the electrical charge in the capillaries (which can be smaller in diameter than the cells that move through them) moves fluid through them based on the charge repulsion (in essence). He believes it’s the same process that moves lymph throughout the body. Which of course circles back to Peats (and Gilbert Lings) work - CO2, red light, ATP, Metabolism, ENERGY, "function and structure are interdependent --RP".
