Very interesting, especially in light of the Chinese study’s claiming to have success with a large subset of Alzheimer’s by adding a shunt to the cervical lymphatic nodes, which seems to be exactly what they’re doing here too.

For those who don’t want to wait and have someone they love who can benefit from this, simply massaging the lymph nodes in the neck 10 minutes a day also significantly increases flow through these lymph nodes and thereby increases drainage of lymph from the brain.

It would be really interesting if we find out that a simple 10 minute daily massage of the lymph nodes in the neck significantly prevents Alzheimer's.

		.. and I think there are already evidence that it tends to affect people who had regular lymphatic inflammations throughout their life (on a less serious note: like yours truly's.. the neck/throat ones.. and I am already forgetting things and blanking out and I haven't even touched 40 :/).

Is this something I can do to myself? Is there some kind of video tutorial to see what I really need to do?

Andrew Huberman did an episode in October on the lymphatic system. I learned a lot. Highly recommend.

You absolutely can! Look up "lymphatic face drainage" on YouTube, there are lots of tutorials. You can do it with just your hands or a jade gua sha tool.

		I wonder if anyone has ever done a study to see if there is a correlation between daily wet facial shaving with soap and Alzheimer's? A wet shave would be a short facial massage, whilst lathering the shaving soap.

		Other than maybe helping with Alzheimer's as claimed above, is there any benefit to this?
