-Motor Vehicle Accidents, -Works Compensation, -Personal Injury Is Massage Therapy potentially harmful in the spread of cancer throughout the body? Per Dr. Collinge PhD leading cancer researcher with the National Cancer Institute multimedia project on massage therapy and cancer, "Massage Therapy is no more likely to cause cancer due to its circulatory effect than walking up a flight of stairs or moderate exercise," Collinge stated. "In fact, the whole notion that massage or any other form of touch could spread cancer is silly."

Regarding Cancer:
Dr. Collinge went on to say," cancer is not contagious from one cell to another, rather, it is a genetic predisposition that is enhanced by environmental factors inside and outside the human body. Cancer is a disruption in the genetic makeup of a cell. Mutations happen in a cell's DNA that make its replication process go haywire. The idea that a cancerous blood cell, in the case of lymphoma, could come in contact and adversely affect a healthy cell or tissue is not true. '- From The Wellness Touch E-zine August 2009.

Lymph Quotes from Andrew Taylor Still who is considered the father of osteopathic medicine and osteopathy:
-
"We strike at the source of life and death when we go to the lymphatics."
-
"What we meet with all disease is dead blood, stagnant lymph, and albumen in a semi-vital or dead and decomposing condition all through the lymphatics and other parts of the body, brain, lungs, kidneys, liver and fascia."
-
"No atom can leave the lymphatics in an imperfect state and get a union with any part of the body"
-
"…your patient had better save his life and money by passing you by as a failure, until you are by knowledge qualified to deal with the lymphatics."
