When was the last time a doctor talked to you about your spleen? This critical organ frequently goes totally unrecognized in most of today's medicine. The role your spleen plays in protecting you on a day to day basis is of major importance.
This organ is at the heart of your lymphatic and immune system. The only time we hear much about it, is usually when it’s been removed after an accident which has ruptured it. Besides the immune functions it provides, it’s also a storage receptacle for blood. This is important for menstruating women and for anyone with any kind of minor hemorrhage.
Your spleen is a blood filter, clearing old and damaged blood cells from circulation, much like the federal reserve does with old, damaged currency. Your bone marrow then produces new cells to replace those which have been filtered out.
Your bone marrow participates with your spleen to rebuild the blood your spleen has filtered out. As your spleen dismantles and destroys old, damaged cells, the contents are then recycled to assist the manufacture of new cells.
When your body’s faced with infection, your spleen acts like the medical triage on the battlefield, evaluating how to protect those that can survive, while clearing the wounded from your circulation. This activity is critical in preventing the contents of your circulatory system from becoming overloaded with debris which could lead to high blood pressure and potential strokes or heart attacks.
In some long lasting infections like mononucleosis, where the spleen is infected and enlarged, aggressive immune treatment is required. In far too many cases, the patient is just told to go home and rest with no aggressive treatment to fight the infection.
Since most cases of mononucleosis don’t respond to conventional treatment, the rest and wait has been the standard of care. Unfortunately, this approach allows for the chronic conditions of a weakened immune system.
Often times, when there’s long standing illness after an acute infection, a virus or bacteria may have taken up residence in the spleen, not having been totally cleared from the body. Such is often the case with chronic fatigue syndrome, where the Epstein Barr virus involved in mono has become a chronic inhabitant of the spleen, and poorly detected through conventional methods.
When chronic immune diseases are present like this, spleen therapy has proven to be a truly successful way to alleviate these chronic immune weaknesses, restoring normal immune surveillance. This can be addressed though use of botanical medicine. One herb used in chronic splenic enlargement and lymphatic problems is Ceanothus Americanus. Combining this herb with other herbs which are viral specific can help alleviate Spleen infections.
The use of what’s known as protomorphogens, or tissue DNA has the ability to stop auto-immune activity to the spleen and facilitate repair of this organ. This is an area that modern medicine hasn’t yet gotten a grasp on. Dr Royal Lee understood this principle over sixty years ago, and designed these protomorphogens to accomplish just this task.
It’s an interesting fact that DNA of any organ can be displaced to any other tissue of the body, but spleen DNA can’t. One practitioner has found that endometriosis, where endometrial tissue establishes itself in various areas of the abdomen and pelvis, and fails to be touched by any conventional therapy responds favorably to spleen therapy. The most common treatment involves surgical removal of various tissues of the pelvis. This is many times the condition that precipitates hysterectomy.
