Swollen Hands Due to Diet

June 22, 2018June 21, 2018

Could the inflammation in your body be due to what you’re eating? Absolutely.

And, if this statement is true, then the opposite is also true: that you can reduce inflammation in your body by changing the foods that you are eating.

This is a story about a woman I met at a chance meeting who was suffering from terrible inflammation. I could see the inflammation just by looking at her, but at the time I did not know how negatively it was affecting her life. As it happened, the previous day she had photographed her hand, which was so swollen that it was painful to open for the picture.

We began working together the following week and on August 8, 2017, she began implementing a LEAP diet that was scientifically designed to be anti-inflammatory for her based on the results from her Mediator Release Test (MRT). The MRT is the gold standard in food sensitivity testing and takes all the guesswork out of figuring out what you should and shouldn’t eat in regards to inflammation. The results are as unique as your fingerprint.

Before we started working together, she had many days when she was in so much pain that she couldn’t get out of bed. In fact, she had been in bed since June when we met in mid-July. As she told me later, she realized that the reason she had dragged herself out of bed and to that meeting on July 17th, was to meet me and take control of her health.

Same hand on 2/28/18, a little over 6 months later.

On February 28th she emailed me saying, “I don’t know if you have ever seen this, but it was by fate that I had these pics. I took the first one 7/16/17 the day before I met you. It was for a hand analysis session. I was having a hard time opening my hand to get a good pic.

The second one is today, 2/28/18. A world of difference. I was floored. I accidentally discovered this by cleaning up photos on my phone. When I saw the picture, I sat up. I immediately looked at my hands and couldn’t believe it. You can see the information so clearly.

I am also sending to my mastermind group who are hand analysts. I am not, but sent the photo into a group last summer. I would like them to know that if they ever see this, to bring forth as further discovery and suspect for inflammation and forward on to an ND or such. It’s profound.

Glad that you are going to blog about this. It was fate to have this baseline picture, but this could also be a baseline activity to consider so that others can physically see their progress and keep going.”

Are you suffering from painful inflammation? Is inflammation affecting your life in a negative way, keeping you from doing the things you’d like to be doing? If so, contact me to schedule a free initial phone consultation. What have you got to lose – except

Can You Get Parasites from a Water Park Visit?

June 21, 2018November 20, 2024

I am working with a man in his 30s who is in overall good health. Eats well, works out regularly, keeps himself fit. About three weeks ago, he took his family to a water park and almost immediately afterward began having unusual symptoms including stomach cramping, diarrhea/constipation, and nausea. He visited a number of doctors and had a number of scopes and lab tests performed, all of which came back without positive results.

Luckily, he was convinced that something was wrong with him anyway and he began suspecting that it may be parasitic infection. He found his way to me and I heartily agreed. Sudden onset of symptoms is a strong sign that you’ve been invaded by parasites.

Not everyone will have the same symptoms he did as there are a whole host of ways that bodies react to parasites. Check out these posts for more symptoms of parasitic infections.

As I sent him off with the herbal parasite cleanse, I invited him to take photos of his stools during this eviction process and send them to me. He laughed and assured me that he most certainly would NOT be taking any photos.

Then he sent me these photos with this note: “So you know how I said I didn’t want to take a picture. I took a picture, still gross. My daughter was complaining of stomach issues and I would hate to see her suffer because I didn’t want to take a dumb picture.”

Here are his photos. See what you think. We have started his entire family (with the exception of his breast-feeding wife) on herbal parasite cleanses as well. If you can identify these buggers, please leave a comment below!

If you think parasites could be affecting you, shoot me an email and schedule a free initial phone consultation to discuss how best to evict the buggers from your body so that you can reclaim your health.

One Pot Cooking Method Patented?

May 31, 2018

Question from a reader:

Ms. Yarnell, I’m curious as to why you patented your one pot cooking method.

The purpose of a patent as I understand it is to allow the inventor the right to exclude other from using the invention – in this case your method of cooking.
Yet the obvious purpose of any cookbook is to get people to use the recipes they contain.
Can you explain? -Tom

Hi Tom! Good question. GOPM holds a “process” patent. The purpose is not to exclude others from using this method — heck, I’ve sold 60k cookbooks containing recipes using this method, have taught hundreds of cooking classes, and publish recipes and videos teaching it online — but to preclude others from publishing the process and making money off it.

As a concrete example: Years ago I was in talks with a cookware company to publish a book of my recipes. They pulled out of the deal and wanted to publish recipes using the GOPM method with a different chef/author and cut me out completely. They were not able to do that because I had the patent that proved it was my idea first.

Thanks for asking the question! It’s a good one and I hope you don’t mind that I also post it on my blog. Please feel free to respond in the Comments section below.

Happy cooking! Elizabeth

What’s In an Egg at Fast Food Restaurants?

January 31, 2018November 23, 2024

Getting an egg may seem to be a healthy option when you’re looking to grab something at a fast food or fast-casual restaurant. But is it always just an egg that you’re getting when you order that egg sandwich?

Unfortunately not. My readers know that I am a fan of eggs as a healthy food, however, while Panera uses freshly cracked eggs in their offerings, here’s what’s in Subway’s Egg Omelet Patty (Regular):

Whole eggs, egg whites, water, nonfat dry milk, premium egg blend (isolated pea product, salt, citric acid, dextrose, guar gum, xanthan gum, extractive of spice, propylene glycol and not more than 2% calcium silicate and glycerin to prevent caking), soybean oil, butter alternative (liquid and hydrogenated soybean oil, salt, soy lecithin, natural and artificial flavors, beta carotene (color), TBHQ and citric acid added to protect flavor, dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent added), salt, beta-carotene (color).

As Marion Nestle remarks: At least egg is the first ingredient!

Yes, there are eggs in the egg sandwich at Subway, but also a whole lot more for sensitive people to watch out for. Hydrogenated fats, artificial colors, the evil “natural and artificial flavors” catch-all that can hide dozens of chemicals, dextrose (a derivative of corn), dimethylpolysiloxane… Yuck! That “egg sandwich patty” is a chemical stew rather than a pure egg.

Forbes has compiled a list of the ingredients in a lot of breakfast sandwiches, so be sure to check out what you might be ordering before you chomp down.

Diet Sodas Lead to Weight Gain, Disease

October 31, 2017November 23, 2024

A new class action lawsuit has been filed against big soda manufacturers for misleading consumers into thinking that drinking diet sodas sweetened with Aspartame are a good choice for weight loss and overall health.

As I’ve preached for a long time: nothing could be further from the truth.

Not only do “diet” drinks sweetened with Aspartame not lead to weight loss, but, according to a report on Good Morning America, there is extensive data showing that drinking diet sodas can contribute to obesity, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

I recently saw a dear friend and noticed that he had lost weight. In fact, he had lost 45 lbs., and the only thing he had changed in his life was that he stopped drinking all soda, including the liters of diet soda that had been a staple in his life.

My advice: save soda for special occasions, and then the first choice should be an all-natural soda like Blue Sky Organic Ginger Ale. And if you’re going to drink a mass-market soda, don’t choose the diet version that is sweetened with Aspartame.
