Stop consuming them and your body will flush them out naturally.
Just eat fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and low fat dairy. Drink only water. Avoid processed foods and refined sugar.0 -
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! 0 -
Squeeze a little lemon or lime in your water. That will help a bit. And water, water, water. I drink lots everyday. I have probably had close to 160 ozs today. And I wish I had some more. 0

Eat good, healthy foods. Stop cooking with oil, stop using butter and margarine on your toast and sandwiches, opt for low fat dairy, stop drinking soft drink or anything with artificial colours and flavours, stop eating chocolate, chips, take away, no more soft drinks- Try that for 2 weeks, then just eat minimal amounts.
It will give your body a good, natural, healthy and SAFE clean out.
AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER- Yes it'll make you pee a lot if your not used to it BUT slowly get yourself up to 2L per day + more when you workout!0 -
Do everything that the fellow MPFers have already mentioned!! Plus, look at getting a hydro-clonic. My dad swears by them, and he is by far the healthiest person I know! But wait until your body has started eliminating toxins already- preferably after a nice green smoothie fast, followed by gradually working in solid fruits and veggies. Look at going to your local farmers market, see what famer's co-ops there are in your area, it's a nice way to keep fruits and veggies in season, in your home.
Here is one reference: http://www.greensmoothiegirl.com
Ideally, (depending on your personal health issues) one should do a nice cleansing fast twice a year...
Best of luck!0 -
Stop eating toxins and there will be no need to flush them out. If you're not willing to give them up for good, take a couple weeks off from processed foods, restaurant food, etc.0

How exactly is she measuring your toxin levels? This sounds like a crock of *kitten* to me...0 -
My lawn care guy said worrying about toxins silly, but what does he know.0

toxins has nothing to do with it, as your body naturally gets rid of them...0 -

No, she said someone (her massage therapist, I'm guessing...because when I want medical advice I totally rely on a massage therapist for it) told her the levels were down.
Hey OP, congrats on that. We should talk! I've got some ocean front property in Arizona for sale...I heard the area it is in also helps lower toxins and I'll give you a great price for it!0 -

Are you saying that the OP is a toxic zombie? Scary!
But the good news is she is a recovering, not quite so toxic as she used to be, zombie.0 -

Massage.
Therapist.
That's not even an education, it's a skill with a certificate. Unless someone's an MD with all of your blood work on hand, tell them to go urinate up a rope.
BTW, my preferred method for removing toxins:
Gin, until stomach contents are evacuated.
ETA : Stupid necro. My commentary is needed for the community, and therefore not removed.0 -
I can't believe there was no science in 20110
