I believe lymph adds power to the nervous system because in MS it takes power away. A tonsillectomy removes a gland that contains and transports lymph at the base of the throat. So, a tonsillectomy, in order to correct an immunological condition, creates a long-term one in neurological terms. -- Frances M.

The first to ponder is "how does lymph influence neurogenesis (neuron creation)?" The report that triggered my idea was about pioneering research carried out by Elizabeth Gould, a Princeton University professor. Here is the part of that article that struck me:<br /><br />"... several important areas of the brain continue to create neurons throughout<br />life, a process called adult neurogenesis. In recent years, Gould has<br />investigated factors that influence the rate of adult neurogenesis and the roles<br />played by the new brain cells. ... recent studies examined neurogenesis in a<br />part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is involved in learning and<br />memory as well as in responding to stress. Previous studies had shown that<br />stress can significantly reduce neurogenesis."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21820400-113881836515480969?l=prtac.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Noonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08444243116933184496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21820400.post-1138814979356509582006-02-01T09:27:00.000-08:002006-02-01T09:29:39.463-08:00Welcome to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Puerto Rico Tonsillectomy Awareness Community</span>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21820400-113881497935650958?l=prtac.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Noonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08444243116933184496noreply@blogger.com0
