<Keeping your lymph system moving>
I believe this phrase from the ad plays on our general lack of knowledge and understanding of the anatomy and normal physiology of the lymphatic system in general and its function in the lactating breast in particular.
The more general info I have come across in reading about the A & P of the lymphatic system in health and disease, especially in self-help books written for those persons at risk for, or suffering from lymphedema, the more fascination I find, and the more I hope yet to learn.
