🧠 Melatonin & Lymphatic Clearance of Brain Amyloid Substance 🧠

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by brain deposits of amyloid β protein (Aβ), in tissue plaques and intracranial blood vessels. This may trigger a downstream cascade of oxidative and pro-inflammatory events which may contribute to the widespread death of neurons and dementia.

There are data connecting brain Aβ accumulation with the peripheral lymphatic system in mouse with amyloidosis.

Melatonin inhibit Aβ aggregation in the brain. An older study evaluated lymphatic Aβ clearance by treating a mouse model of AD amyloidosis with melatonin. A 2018 study confirmed that clearance of Aβ peptides is significant through the lymphatic and treatment with melatonin created important changes:

1- A statistically significant decreases in Aβ proteins in the brain.

2-A statistically significant increase in Aβ proteins in cervical and axillary lymph nodes of treated mice.

Thee researchers concluded that abnormalities in Aβ clearance through the lymphatic system may contribute to the development of cerebral amyloidosis. Melatonin may delay the onset of cognitive impairment in high risk populations.

Lymphatic drainage treatment aids post-surgical healing by reducing swelling and promoting toxin removal which accelerates recovery. It also helps prevent fluid buildup, reducing the risk of complications like seroma and fibrosis. Book in for your post-surgery treatment with Kris.

Check out our POSTER for 2025!!

I wanted to reach out and let you know that LymphyCON Health Conference 2025 is an official GO!!! We are settling on the official location for our Calgary conference, but we have the following dates CONFIRMED!!! Please save the dates of April 26 & 27, 2025! If you are interested in being a part of the conference, being a speaker, vendor , volunteer or sponsor, I would love to hear from you. I have a professional management team for our conference this year, so all vendors will be going through their onboarding process and hopefully create greater success and organization all around (not just me running the show now... the show is getting too big for this ringmaster!!).

If you have connections that you think would be a good fit for our conference, please connect us in an introduction email.

We are expecting this year's event to be even bigger and better than our first 2 years. We are anticipating 150 tickets sold, and both days will be filled with speakers, classes (eating immune strengthening foods, making your own fermented foods, healthy chocolate class, lymphatic yoga) and even fun therapist competitions (short stretch rolling competitions and more). We are also including a dinner on Saturday night, as our Keynote Dinner (ticket sold seperately).

We are also planning on continuing the recording and tickets for participants who cannot make it in person, and give them the opportunity to see the talks and events online.

I am so excited for the path that our little LymphyCON is taking, and how it;s growth and development is supported by amazing people, especially you!!
