Lymph Drainage Therapy is a profound and effective means whereby the lactation therapist can facilitate optimal breast health. I have seen breast lumps dissolve before my eyes; relieved severe and chronic breast pain in one to two treatments; resolved acute breast and lactation problems with regularity; and empowered my clients by teaching them self-care breast routines that give them the ability to prevent and resolve future problems. I highly recommend Lymph Drainage Therapy to all therapists who desire lasting and meaningful health changes for their clients.

LDT has been very successful in treating both acute and chronic pain where no other modalitiy has quite resolved the condition. I have also found it to be an incredible healing modality for bones, burns, shingles, infertility etc.
Vivian Michaud, B.S.,M.Ed.,C.M.T.
Dr. Chikly has explored the pathways and implications of the lymphatics at a depth greater than has been previously explained. The importance of the lymphatics cannot be denied. Knowledge of this material is of great assistance in the diagnosis and treatment of many common health complaints.

The lymphatic system remains perhaps the least studied and understood system in the human body. Now, in Silent Waves, Theory & Practice of Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT), Dr. Bruno Chikly methodically pulls the curtain of mystery aside. He traces how, through the ages and piece-by-piece, different scientists unraveled the structure and function of the lymphatic system. From gross structural revelations of hundreds of years ago to today''s elucidation of individual lymph cell types, the author demonstrates for us a depth of understanding and clinical application helpful to both novice and expert clinician alike. Today''s health professionals need this knowledge to more effectively combat their ever growing clinical challenges.
Stephen Davidson, DO, CSP-OMM
Bruno Chikly is one of the most gifted medical professionals I have ever met. His insight in the development of LDT has not only expanded successful treatment options available to patients but has helped rewrite the art and science of diagnosis. Theory and practice of Lymph Drainage Therapy and the information on the lymphatic system should be required reading in every medical school in the country.

Sharing the Joy of Healing
I thought I would share the joy. I received this from one of my clients who comes to me regularly for "maintenance" care for her lymphedema:
As you and lymph drainage therapy (LDT) have been so instrumental in my recovery, I really have to share the outcome of my semi-annual radiation oncology follow-up. You would not believe how amazed my doctor was! He stated:
"You are a supreme example of what can happen when a patient assumes responsibility for her health care. What you have done is a true illustration of integrative medicine – a harmonious blend of conventional and complementary therapies."
I gratefully acknowledged the role of the Chikly method of therapy as the prime source of pain and lymphatic congestion relief (and all of the other combined life adjustments). My doctor was truly amazed that the symptoms had been so greatly reversed! (Not his words, mine! – He looked for swelling and couldn''''t seem to find much! –He remembered that I have an extensive case – arm, breast and torso). All he could say was WOW! Also, I do not have to go back to him for nine months (instead of six)…
Anyway, I am thankful for all that I have learned from you, and I thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a patient, humble, and kindly way.
