im learning lymphatic breast massage this week!

dear ladies,
its super important to massage away all the toxic lymph that builds up in your breast tissue, especially after keeping them locked up tight in your bra all day. added bonus, it keeps em firm and perky and feels great too! you can do this in about 2 minutes a day, add it to your daily pretty lady routine.

dear boys,
titties.

Common, this needs, nay, REQUIRES a NSFW warning!


I disagree!

This is like sex ed! If anyone objects to people learning how to prevent cancer at work then they don't like breasts! And anyone that doesn't like breasts is a terrorist!!

And I don't like terrorists because dey tuk ahr JERRRRBZ!!

I want to see LittleRed downvote this, which she will, unless she reads my comment first. In that case she'll probably upvote this out of pure spite.

Come to think of it, thepinky is way more commendable in this regard. She'd just downvote this, because she at least has her principles.

Can someone provide me a link to mainstream medical recommendations for this type of procedure? All I can find is sketchy, holistic medical websites that talk about this.

tee-hee. boobies! i actually don't find this very sexy... its too clinical or something.. like those tv documentaries when you see a doctor drawing on the woman's boobies with markers before surgery.

I'm upvoting because it has caused me to look up lymphatic drainage.

And it would seem to be something that is always talked about with the terms "which is believed by proponents" and "according to proponents".

So, therefore does not seem to have core medical backup with it.

Also, it seems that it may actually be dangerous in cases where a patient has cancer as you may be pushing the cancer cells through the body rather than them possibly being killed off by the lymph nodes. And also, it would seem, if you're getting chemo, it might be a bad idea as it pushes it through too quickly.

Or something.

I tend to like seeing a real medical practitioner come out with 'yeah, it works' or 'as far as has been ascertained it's at least harmless'.

So... yeah.

Plus it looks like she's trying to twist her boob off.

Oh... and they are spectacular.

manual lymph drainage is, as well as massage therapy, is considered more "alternative medicine" or "complimentary medicine" which is growing more widely accepted by western medicine... im also trained as a mammography tech and my hospital hosts monthly "complimentary medicine" seminars for employees. there are of course contraindications, such as chemo or if youre on a heavy dose of antibiotics, massage therapist are trained to know such contraindications and how to safely deal with them and this video assumes you are a healthy human being.

there is alot of nonsense spewed under the title of alternative medicine; light therapy, color therapy, rieki, quantum touch, etc. it gives us all a bad name as far im concerned. massage theory (minus all the vibrational medicince nonsense) is rooted in an understanding of physiology. im concerned with how the muscles, and all the cells and systems within your body function and work together. manual lymph drainage is alot of common sense. though i cant find any sort of major medical literature about it online. chiropractors will attest to it. however, many people consider them questionable medical professionals as well. i know several oncologists and oncology nurses who believe in its benefits. and cancer treatment centers who will prescribe it.

anyhow, its always good to flush your body of toxins, and lymphnodes are where toxins live.

massage has also proven to reduce scar tissue and improve muscle tone and circulation, breast massage is great post cosmetic breast surgery.

oh, furthermore, my current theory for why the mainstream medical community is reluctant to fully embrace massage therapy is because of all the nonsense "bodywork" junk that is not rooted in the science of physiology. and for a long time it has been more profitable to prescribe medication and treat the symptom rather than to prescribe prevention and treat the human.... thats slowly changing.

I upvoted your comment/post. But I don't agree that it's necessarily good to have a medical intervention to "flush your body of toxins" rather than letting the natural processes play out. I'm not about to go on dialysis to help flush out my toxins when I'm perfectly healthy. I realize that's an exaggerated parallel and that this massage is probably harmless, but I'd like to see some peer-reviewed studies on the matter. You've made an appeal that massage therapy is not junk science, and controlled, randomized, double blind, peer-reviewed trials are the way to prove that.

I realize that the "blind" part of such trials would be difficult in this case, but you can still have it single blind with a proxy intervention that is known to be worthless. Say you're treating them with magnets but actually do nothing.

Regardless if it's educational or not, it's not safe for anyone at work opening a video with a naked woman on it. Marking it NSFW doesn't degrade the educational value of the video. I find it silly that you to presume I'm offended by the sight of boobs.

I see it as it is, and I think it requires NSFW warning. My intention is for the benefit of people who are unaware. If you think I'm a bit anal retentive, so be it .

spoco2says...

I'm sure there are many people who take it seriously (yourself counted), but having a few professionals believing in something doesn't do anything for me. Our excellent, excellent independent midwife who has birthed our three children, and one more to come, believes in homeopathy... which is a huge pile of nonsense. I fully trust her on the fronts of birthing etc. but that doesn't mean I believe in homeopathy because she does, I need science to show me it works (which is doesn't).

So, I'm not flat out saying that this isn't beneficial at all (hell, massage in general, bring it on, especially in keeping boobs firm), just that I'm always skeptical about things until I've seen some sort of empirical evidence it does anything, and I just haven't seen any about this.

Also I find it funny that you list light therapy in your list of bogus treatments when in some cases it has been clearly shown to be of great benefit. (jaundiced babies comes to mind immediately)

shit my kids have been singing about light bulbs all day...i meant crystal therapy! not light therapy, my son was a jaundice baby im ok with lights. but crystals are stupid.

also, the wikipedia page someone posted above on lymphedema has a section about manual lymph drainage, its pretty good.

im having some other discussions somewhere about why there isnt more emperical studies done about the benefits of massage. i think its a combination of it being a less profitable modality than drugs, i believe the education requirements to become a massage therapist are vastly insufficient, and we are mostly independent and self employed.... it is widely utilized by physical therapists. and you do learn massage in nursing school. and it is more frequently being prescribed by physicians.... and alot of it seems like common sense... massage feels good. noone really argues that.

same results, more fun!


I'd certainly upvote a video demonstrating that.

there should be a sifted informative video of this technique too.

Any sift lady volunteers?
