The human body is a whole. All the systems of the body work together to keep the body healthy and bring
it into homeostasis. One often overlooked system is the lymphatic system. It is the sewer system and
the body guard of the body. It houses our white blood cells that fight off infections and foreign invaders, which are a very important part of the immune system. It also filters out toxins and maintains fluid
levels in the body by collecting toxins excreted from organs. It absorbs excess fluid, proteins,
electrolytes, toxins and foreign substances from tissue spaces around cells. It cleanses those tissues and
removes waste. It also helps transport hormones and immune cells throughout the body. In a nutshell, the lymphatic system and its immune cells protect the body and keep it clean.
