Naturopaths usually practice homeopathy, as well as a lot of other pseudoscientific practices. My sister-in-law saw one who hooked her up to a machine that he claimed would shoot energy through her body and allow the spirits to tell him what was wrong with her. So. :indifferent:0 -

Oh my gosh.0 -
My cousin is one...she has referred to herself as both over the years. I think naturepath might be the new, less exposed-as-fraudulent word for homeopath.
MY massage therapist who is *awesome* has never once mentioned toxins to me, but she has advised that I drink extra water after a massage because the knots tie up chemicals in them that are released back into the bloodstream when they're...rubbed out. I do know I feel wonky after a massage but I also know that I get super deep tissue massages that leave bruises so it could easily be just emo wonky.

You get rid of toxins by having a liver and kidneys.0

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

I think my business partners sister and law went to someone like that..he said by looking into her eyes he could tell that her system was out of whack or some BS like that...I can't believe people actually go for this stuff...0 -

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.......No! Not quite finished yet!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! This thread has literally made my day. I was so miserable until I read this. Thank you toxic people!! I hope your kidneys and livers start functioning again soon!! That's gotta suck!0

This thread is hilarious. And at the same time I am relieved to be reminded how simple the weight loss equation really is. The people chiming in about "cleansing" liquids without reading the entire thread is absolutely priceless.0

You people need to brush up on your history. In much the same way as your village doctor was also your barber and your dentist was also a religious interrogator in medieval Europe, a masseuse and nutritionist were combined professions in North America in 2011. Eventually, those fields separated into differing professions with separate skillsets – I think this happened in mid-2012.0

so you regularly get medical advice from a massage therapist??0 -
I don't know about all of those, but cranberry juice can prevent UTI and lemon can prevent kidney stones, so they must be helping to flush something out.0 -

I feel like back in 2011, the ability to discern sarcasm was also a more ubiquitous skill, especially when descriptions of medieval professions were discussed. That may have also changed mid-2012...0 -

Just weigh the crock full of shi . . . uhhhh . . . toxins. Subtract the weight of the crock, and voila, toxins measured, right?0 -

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.
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!
lol.
I've been working on my cleanse all morning.

This ability is definitely becoming more rare every year
