Problems with the lymphatic system in a 7 year old girl, what to do?

Good evening, I have a 7 year old girl, on July 8, 136 cm tall x 48 kg in weight, some time ago we were diagnosed with a block of the lymphatic system by 2 different naturopathsbecause of the strong cortisone-based treatments and antibiotics often repeated in a short time, and this would have caused a slowing down of the lymphatic system, having said that however both were not able to help my daughter or at least they told me that what he would need is still too early to do, like acupuncture. What I was asking you was if you had other solutions that you could consider more than anything else to relieve the discomfort of perennially swollen arms (gummy) of the belly that in the evening or at night tends to swell not regularly but a lot and a huge overweight that I would not want to cause you problems in growth and development. I specify that Ilaria has a good diet based on carbohydrates and / or starches and / or cereals for lunch and proteins also often or better derived from legumes in the evening,red meat is once a week, we prefer white meat, eggs from our hens or quail, we have a strong consumption of vegetables , fruit between meals or before dinner, meat and vegetables are all self-produced from our garden or farm without chemicals … truly organic. He drinks water kefir daily, magnetized water, birch-based herbal teas or nettle in this period, we use mother yeast and prefer wholemeal type 2 rye flours if possible, of monococcus. Last thing we did food intolerance tests and nothing came out, he discharges regularly and his stools almost always float, he practices swimming bi-weekly and does a lot of movement, excellent concentration and performance in the study without too much effort. Thank you very much if you can give me some advice. Greetings Pellegrinelli Marina

Hello, I’m talking to you as a nutritionist. The diet is correct but requires changes, for example legumes in the evening often cause swelling that seems to be accentuated at night. Furthermore, the same goes for mother yeast and flours that could be difficult to digest. In an overweight situation any leavened source is to be avoided because it promotes swelling and fermentation produced by yeasts. It could also be useful to do a glycemic measurement and control thyroid and pancreatic function using laboratory tests that will be read by professionals qualified to do so such as the doctor or the nutritionist biologist.

Dear Marina, I would like to remind you that the psyche and the soma are closely linked and children often somatize their difficulties, especially because the symbolic-verbal system is not yet developed to express their anxieties in words. In addition to the care of nutrition and movement and the investigations of the case, perhaps we can also try to read the symptom. She tells us that Ilaria is swollen. So I wonder what is Ilaria swollen with? What is she full of? What is holding her back? Maybe anger? 7 years is a demanding age for school and beyond, for comparisons with peers, with adults, with duty, a transition from first to second childhood, where it is often repeated “now you are great, you must be responsible, you must do this, that … ” I was very surprised by everything she said in terms of nutrition, she seems to me a very responsible child, perhaps too much. Most babies would never feed so sensibly! This is to say that perhaps Ilaria is a very good girl, that she respects the rules and requests and maybe sometimes she doesn’t want to! Who knows … Besides, she is a really big girl, almost a young lady, I wonder if she recognizes herself in this big body. After all she is only 7 years old and I wonder how she lives in this body! Who knows if she wants to fly away. These are just my hypotheses, try to think a bit if there is something that can sound to you or if she comes up with some possible meaning that can help you.

Good morning Marina, reading the girl’s problem, an effective program to restore normalcy, consists in nourishing the intestinal bacterial flora with probiotics (probably damaged by cortisone and antibiotics) and at the same time taking Aloe (also called the plant of immortality) to detoxify the body and give a supply of vitamins and minerals useful for reactivating the immune defenses. It could also stimulate the reflex points in the foot of the spleen (immune defenses), liver and kidneys (to facilitate the expulsion of toxins from the body) 1 minute per point per day. If you want more information on the points to stimulate and the best natural products to take I will be happy to help you. Francis
