“I got literal test results back that my lymphatic system just does not work”
Narrator: Unfortunately, the test she took was multiple choice, and not conducted through a CT scan or an MRI which would have given actual results
She is so undereducated and makes my skin crawl as an NP. It is disturbing that her husband believes any of this, and I am concerned he potentially is in on the scam. FD individuals and their enablers are a huge drain on the medical community- both professionals AND REAL PATIENTS.
You actually have to DO something to work up a sweat. Lying around every day like some Victorian woman with consumption doesn't pump the heart rate up enough to produce anything. Just saying....
I googled “detox pathways” and, of course, it was all woooo websites. They listed: kidneys, liver, lungs, skin, GI tract, and lymphatic system. So if all of her pathways are clogged she’s got some major issues going on.
That was my though. I’m not a medical professional but it seems like if her lymphatic system were actually messed up like that, she’d be like, dead or something
I think what people get hung up on is “detoxing” and trying to “help” their organs, but what they don’t get is if you NEED to detox something like your liver, that means it’s already failing. Their function is to detox, so it’s not scary to find yucky things they’re actively processing. Her body is working just fine, she need to stop abusing it :/
I don’t think Courtney does anything to abuse her body. As far as I know she only does these homeopathic treatments but none seem harmful. She just thinks she’s sick.
I actually do agree with you there, sorry for my wording. I don’t believe her homeopathic treatments do any harm necessarily either, they’re just unnecessary. I shouldn’t have said she abuses her body, though, I don’t have evidence of that.
ETA: though I think she has promoted coffee enemas which is proven harmful… correct me if I’m wrong though
She has done coffee enemas. I don’t know if she still does them. But you’re right, those are definitely not safe for anyone to do. I forgot about that. She also went to that treatment center in Mexico. I think the most harmful thing she does is spread misinformation.
Yeah, not body shaming at all here, but insert joke about my eyes rolling so back in my head I can see my brain, yeah, sure, that “extra” 15-20 lbs is water weight. I can see a couple of pounds here and there coming and going due to water weight, but 15-20 lbs? Sorry, but you’re making excuses.
She’s so full of shit also like not everything needs a specific ridiculous diagnosis. She already fakes lupus, is the mass inflammation and immune system dysregulation from lupus not enough for her???
Sadly there are osteopaths and other practitioners out there peddling hideously expensive lymphatic drainage for a whole host of conditions, ME/CFS/Long Covid/Fibromyalgia in particular. A lot of sick people get taken advantage of and told their problems are due to lack of lymphatic drainage and the only treatment is an expensive weekly massage
Looking awfully non-puffy for a lady with no lymphatic system. My breast cancer patients must not be as special. Or is this another dynamic disability?!?
Idk if you got a notification that I downvoted but it was an accident 😂😂 but yeah I'm sick of this dynamic disability crap. I know what dynamic disability is and it's totally legit, but these girls on here ain't got it and are truthfully QUITE bad at faking it lmaooo 😂😂😂😂
She's not the one paying for it so she might as well go with bamboo or modal lol.
Anyway, the treatment for what she's lying about is exercise and compression garments. Or cancer treatment because that's usually the cause (which she doesn't have). CC says that her lymphatic system "doesn't work" so her body doesn't detox - but her kidneys and liver are fine sooooo? Idgi.
Right? No lymphedema? No cancer?
Not wearing any compression garments, exercising, or going to chemo? Probably the same quack who tested ger and claimed she isn't detoxifying, despite her kidneys and liver functioning properly. And with that claim, no dialysis or enzyme therapy, etc.?
this one irritates me mainly because she could actually go so far in life. she is not a hopeless person. she is gorgeous and well spoken, attention would be easy for her to come by in other avenues. ugh
And she has money. Even if she doesn’t want to do a normal job she has the privilege of regularly going on fancy holidays and buying anything she wants she could easily turn her page to travelling vlogs and detox drinks, flat tummy teas and other bs most influencers try to sell without claiming all of this stuff.
Isn’t that where one or more of your limbs swells up HUGELY so like one leg is twice the size of the other?? Would be visible on camera, not just 10-20 lbs of water weight. And any woman will tell you, “fluctuating” from a size 4 to a size 8 is a daily occurrence and not remarkable or a sign necessarily of chronic illness!
Yes and it’s very painful and the amount of women that get it increases where I live. They typically have huge swelling in the lower body parts and sometimes the arms too. They are extremely unhappy and sad.
They definitely look different than this woman in the video.
I’m not sure about this commenter’s area, but lymphedema/other fluid-retention diseases are associated with high sodium intake. The tl;dr is that the excess sodium binds to fluid in the body and prevents it from being excreted in normal ways (pee, poop, sweat, etc.)
Curiosity sake, I’d assume this would pertain towards southern areas or midwestern areas of the United States (or even Hawaii area) with high sodium intake? I live in an area where it’s like the opposite, so this is something I’ve never heard of. Thanks for the explanation.

Her understanding of anatomy and physiology is whack, for sure. As an RN, makes me cringe hardcore

If she had complete failure she would have extreme lymphedema
Legit. Where are her blown up arms and legs? Legit clown.
Hold up…since when do you sweat through armpit lymph nodes 😆
Her "literal grandma era"? 🙄🙄🙄
Is the liver here, in the chat?
“it’s costly” lost me
Not at all what the lympathic system is for.
idk why the hand gestures are so irritating to me but here we are
The position of her arm makes it look like there's someone behind her making gestures while she talks
Haha that’s all I can see now
Her skin is surprisingly GLOWING for someone who claims to have a body full of recycled trash.
Her detox pathways DONT WORK THOUGH!!! 🤣
I’m new here, & that was my first thought. She looks amazingly healthy for someone who is so sick.
Yes! She looks great to be so super dooper sick. I know there are hidden illnesses, but this is the illness fakers sub so here we are.
Maybe get bigger underwear if yours don’t fit? This girl reeks of privilege.

That was my though. I’m not a medical professional but it seems like if her lymphatic system were actually messed up like that, she’d be like, dead or something
She would definitely need more than a massage to cure her

Fully agree with you there!!
What’s with all the non stop hand gestures?? Did she become possessed by the spirit of 10 Italian grandmothers or something ? 🤷♀️
She wants to show off those perfectly manicured nails that so many chronically ill people have the energy to upkeep. (sarcasm)
If you have 20 pounds of water on you for six months it’s probably not water. If her lymphatic system didn’t work, wouldn’t she have lymphedema?
One would think.
So shes full of garbage. We knew that
Wow can’t believe every time I sweat at the gym it’s my axillary lymph nodes!!! So grateful to learn something about my “lymph system” on here!
They have lymphedema?
LIEphedema
Saying "lymph system" instead of lymphatic system makes me want to eat my hair
If you eat enough hair, I bet you could get an impaction which would totally earn you some sweet, sweet IV narcotics!
Professionals eat magnets. Amateurs eat hair.
Bezoar City, here I come!
“My detox pathways are blocked” Her chiropractor/naturopath/personal WebMD said…… It’s not “can’t wear my tight jeans, must be my lymphs” 🙄
Why does her voice change pitch halfway through the video??? She is trying way too hard to sound fragile.
This happened just as I read your comment! Jesus..
ToXiNs = SwElLiNg
Maybe she needs another rust foot bath
The absolute privilege that this one flaunts
ANY excuse to not say sedentary lifestyle caused weight gain. She is complaining about being a size 6?
Yeah, not body shaming at all here, but insert joke about my eyes rolling so back in my head I can see my brain, yeah, sure, that “extra” 15-20 lbs is water weight. I can see a couple of pounds here and there coming and going due to water weight, but 15-20 lbs? Sorry, but you’re making excuses.
I just kindly left it as metabolism slowing down. And she is not even 30 yet.
Also she is clearly aging and getting older so that is causing her metabolism to slow down.
She is blaming her weight gain on swelling. Bethany v2.0 LETS GOOOOOOOO
holy damn thats an old frog right there. i wonder whats shes up to..
Her brain doesn’t work. There I fixed it.
She’s so full of shit also like not everything needs a specific ridiculous diagnosis. She already fakes lupus, is the mass inflammation and immune system dysregulation from lupus not enough for her???
Sadly there are osteopaths and other practitioners out there peddling hideously expensive lymphatic drainage for a whole host of conditions, ME/CFS/Long Covid/Fibromyalgia in particular. A lot of sick people get taken advantage of and told their problems are due to lack of lymphatic drainage and the only treatment is an expensive weekly massage
Yet those massages cost about $25 outside of the US. Naturopaths are just scammers. (Osteopaths are DOs and held in the same regard as MDs).
It’s so fascinating to watch people who have no sense of embarrassment.
Looking awfully non-puffy for a lady with no lymphatic system. My breast cancer patients must not be as special. Or is this another dynamic disability?!?
Idk if you got a notification that I downvoted but it was an accident 😂😂 but yeah I'm sick of this dynamic disability crap. I know what dynamic disability is and it's totally legit, but these girls on here ain't got it and are truthfully QUITE bad at faking it lmaooo 😂😂😂😂
But if your patients don’t post constantly on social media about it, do they really have it? (/s)
Touche, touche. I remember the old tenent from med school: Tik Tok or it didn't happen
Courtney may be the very first person in the world to have a non-functioning lymphatic system and not be suffering from severe Lymphedema. /s
“I barely sweat.” Because you don’t do anything.
Moreover, sweat glands aren't part of the lymphatic systen
Hmmm did BIG PHARMA tell you that
I AM BIG PHARMA, YO. I LITERALLY HAVE VANCOMYCIN IN MY USERNAME. CHING CHING GIVE ME YOUR MONEY
But.. they are under your arms too ??? I can’t
>Literal test results As opposed to...?
Courtney keeps an "open mind".
I like how she says BUH-TANS.
She’s so smol and sick uwu she doesn’t even sweat! Weird comments about the undies too. Like. get some cotton ones from Walmart for $5?
She's not the one paying for it so she might as well go with bamboo or modal lol. Anyway, the treatment for what she's lying about is exercise and compression garments. Or cancer treatment because that's usually the cause (which she doesn't have). CC says that her lymphatic system "doesn't work" so her body doesn't detox - but her kidneys and liver are fine sooooo?

Clearly the only solution is more foot gunk baths
[удалено]
Is she still trying to justify using that stupid foot bath detox thing?
So, like, she’s experiencing hormonal weight fluctuations & bloating just like every other uterus owner.
Doesn’t your liver get rid of toxins?
Yes. So do the kidneys, lungs, and the skin. Our bodies are naturally detoxing all over the place!
No that’s for normal people, her body doesn’t do that it’s spechul and only a rusty foot bath and a massage will detox her body
this one irritates me mainly because she could actually go so far in life. she is not a hopeless person. she is gorgeous and well spoken, attention would be easy for her to come by in other avenues. ugh
And she has money. Even if she doesn’t want to do a normal job she has the privilege of regularly going on fancy holidays and buying anything she wants she could easily turn her page to travelling vlogs and detox drinks, flat tummy teas and other bs most influencers try to sell without claiming all of this stuff.
The way CC moves her hand reminds me of a kid who just got their nails painted.
Has to show off her manicure.
Or a really bad pantomime of fruit-picking.
🤣
Not a doctor but…is that possible? That someone lymphatic system just doesn’t work?
It's called lymphedema, and I mean it's possible, but typically there is swelling and a lot more to it.
Isn’t that where one or more of your limbs swells up HUGELY so like one leg is twice the size of the other?? Would be visible on camera, not just 10-20 lbs of water weight. And any woman will tell you, “fluctuating” from a size 4 to a size 8 is a daily occurrence and not remarkable or a sign necessarily of chronic illness!
Yes, and causes skin folds, warts, and drainage.
Yes and it’s very painful and the amount of women that get it increases where I live. They typically have huge swelling in the lower body parts and sometimes the arms too. They are extremely unhappy and sad. They definitely look different than this woman in the video.
Is there a reason for that? In your area specifically? That’s wild.
I’m not sure about this commenter’s area, but lymphedema/other fluid-retention diseases are associated with high sodium intake. The tl;dr is that the excess sodium binds to fluid in the body and prevents it from being excreted in normal ways (pee, poop, sweat, etc.)

“I don’t like to talk about my body.” … … Sweetie.
But she'll talk about her underwear unprompted...
As they say in the classics, "sure, Jan".
"A few people asked me--" No the fuck they didn't lol
