+===== Introduction =====
 Lymph nodes play a criticial role in removing bacteria, abnormal cells and other matter as part of the immune system reaction to invasion by pathogens.
-Lymphadenopathy (enlarged, swollen, or tender lymph nodes) is usually a sign of infection and is quite common in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and sarcoidosis. The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphadenopathy||Wikipedia article on lymphadenopathy]] covers the range of causes. Note the distinction between infection and "autoimmune" disease, one which according to the Marshall Pathogenesis, is trivial.

-Lymphadenopathy can occur anywhere there are [[http://www.nhlcyberfamily.org/nodes.htm|lymph nodes]]. Lymphadenopathy can often be detected by low-tech means: visually or by touch. Lymph nodes deep in the groin or beneath the ribs in the chest can be monitored with imaging such as chest x-ray, CT or PET scan.

 Treating chronic disease with the Marshall Protocol means that symptoms usually get worse before they get better, due to immunopathology. It is common for lymph nodes to increase in size, tenderness, and/or number as part of the immunopathology of recovery. This is evident when palpated or visible lymph nodes wax and wane with antibiotic administration. As the MP treats the underlying cause of sarcoidosis and lymphadenopathy, it may take many months for lymph nodes to return to normal size (reported to be 1 cm or less).

 In the case of sarcoidosis, most patients with lymphadenopathy had tests which ruled out lymphoma (cancer) before they were diagnosed with that illness.
-Patients and doctors who do not understand the nature of immunopathology that occurs during the Marshall Protocol may become alarmed when lymph nodes increase in size or do not decrease. Doctors may want to reassure themselves or the patient by doing additional biopsies to, once again, rule out lympoma. However, this invasive procedure is rarely necessary. Since lymphoma develops very slowly, a "watch and wait" tactic is more appropriate. [[home:mp:managing_immunopathology|Slowing down immunopathology]] or, if necessary, taking a break from the Protocol can also be done if anyone needs immediate reassurance that inflammation is responsible for emergent or increase lymphadenopathy while on the MP.
