I have swollen glands and moving is painful. What can I do about it?

Dont move.

Cause
The more toxic the poisons and mucus materials taken into the system, the more often the glands accumulate this bad waste from the lymph system and we have glandular swellings over various parts of the body. An impure blood stream, constipation and a generally toxic body condition cause the glands to swell up and become painful. These may be on the neck, under the armpits, groin, etc.

Herbal Aids
Enlarged Lymphatic Glands (especially of the neck). Poke Root. Use 1/2 - 1 teaspoonful of the fluid extract in 1 glassful of water, give 1 teaspoonful of the mixture every 2-3 hours; or 10 drops of the tincture every 4 hours.

Inflamed Tonsils, Salivary Glands, Neighboring Lymph Glands. Garlic. Keep garlic in the mouth constantly during wakeful hours, renewing morning and evening after the cloves have absorbed the poisons; or, use another appropriate garlic preparation.

formula for swollen glands using garlic, glycerine and burdock seeds.
Parsley: It is a remarkable aid for helping expell watery poisons, excess mucoid matter, flatulence, reducing swollen and enlarged glands,

Are you violet the organ grinder? Do you grind all the livelong day?

while i'm sure violet crumble is delicious, i'm more of a cobbler kind of guy. do you have a recipe for violet cobbler?

How do you define 'existence'?

PaisleyLace said:

I'll grind anything. Right now I'm grinding some peppercorns. Later on I'll be grinding some Almonds.

Anxiety said:

It is much the same as Violet Crumble, except substitute the crumble for a pair of shoes and mix well.

I've consulted my personal psychic and she says "existence is that state of being which allows us to post on the org and ask questions which really have no generic answer, as existence is entirely subjective. You tell the nice man I said this"

After that she went into a trance and I left her to it.
