Are all disease symptoms the result of the lymphatic system expelling toxins? botty: No, that's not true: Such claims are a "vastly oversimplified concept of how disease in humans occurs," an expert in infectious disease told Lead Stories. Several factors, including exposure to infectious agents, environmental and lifestyle conditions, and genetic predispositions, cause diseases. artiefast: How about that? Got more details? botty: Though there are some lymphatic system diseases, not all diseases result from the lymphatic system expelling toxins. The lymphatic system does not "detoxify" the body, as a video on social media claims, the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health confirmed. artiefast: Remember, not everything you see on social media is as simple as it seems. Do your research before jumping to conclusions!
