    The only way to release toxins is through PURE. Perspiration, Urination, Respiration, and Evacuation. Exercise, fiber, and water will take care of most of these and learning what foods are alkaline vs acidic and moving toward an alkaline nutrition lifestyle will help ensure you're not putting more in than you're getting rid of.

    I noticed the 4 years of silence but since people are reading this I thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth.

    Oh hey, logic and science showed up!

    Did you ask your Massage Therapist? They should have no problem backing up their suggestions. After any massage you're supposed to drink lots of water or you will feel like you've been hit by a truck. :) Let us know what they say!

    People were so laid back in 2011! I love the casual "Did you ask the person who was unqualified to provide a medical opinion to give you further details about said useless opinion? And once she expounds on her useless advice, let us know what they say!" Life was so happy in 2011, sorry, just a little nostalgia kicking in...

    Huh?????????????? The pH of your foods has nothing to do with health.

    I guess I should start adding lye to all of my foods.

    Oooh, or I could put it in smoothies and make millions off of my new cleanse! Start your alkaline lifestyle today with a risk free trial!

    truth about pH, at a meta level.

    You know, maybe back in those ancient times of 2011, massage therapists were fully trained and qualified medical providers. (with happy endings.)

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. They helped and she was proud to say the toxins had gone down.
    Glad to see you're still around after 4 years. Just have to tell you that massage therapists have no formal education in endocrinology nor toxicology in there certification process, so much of what you're hearing is broscience that passed on from one source to the next.
    There really aren't any toxins in your body that accumulate to the point where a massage, a drink, or meditation would be needed to "remove" them. If anything got toxic enough in the body, then MEDICAL ATTENTION is needed and not a massage.

    Getting rid of toxins is much like any other medical issue. It starts with diagnosis and identification. Tell me a toxin, and I'll tell you how to get rid of it. Any one...just name it.

    Do in-laws qualify as toxins?

    Wait, have you found a way to get rid of them?!

    The best way to rid yourself of toxins is by drinking a significant amount of water! Stay extra hydrated. Try to go a several days only fruits and vegetables.

    Sorry, but the alkaline vs acidic is also a broscience diet. Peer reviewed clinical studies are probably the best source of unbiased information.

    Oh man...what's with all of the catty, snide remarks? One of my biggest pet peeves on MFP are people who take precious time out of their day to post condescending and patronizing replies to people who are genuinely trying to better themselves by asking fellow MFPers for help/advice. Maybe they're not as "educated" as you are, YET....maybe they're still trying to figure things out... but everyone has to start somewhere (think back to when you started on your journey and admit, it probably seemed pretty daunting and overwhelming at first!). If you want to offer your advice and share what has worked for you, great... but can you maybe try to do it without belittling the OP at the same time? Just sayin'.

    I concentrate really hard, meditate really. And focus on telling my kidneys and liver to do their job.

    If they don't, I threaten them with crappy beer.

    How exactly is she measuring your toxin levels? This sounds like a crock of *kitten* to me...

    Thanks for saying what I was thinking... Toxins.. Really?

    I'm glad you cleared that up. The apostrophe ended up in the wrong place in my head!

    At best your massage therapist is misinformed. At worst she's scamming you.

    Ignore the bit about alkaline diets-- it's bunk. The guy who came up with the concept is a germ theory denialist, if that helps you determine how scientifically minded he is.

    Dirty, dirty toxins!


    (This should not be considered an endorsement for Planet Fitness, which is by far the lousiest gym I've ever had the misfortune of joining. But I can't see a post about "toxins" without posting this.)
