Ok I'm going to quote directly from the cards here:
"You can get rid of a poison counter with a ♥ (that ♥ does not also heal a damage)"
"You can get rid of a shrink counter with a ♥ (that ♥ does not also heal a damage)"
"You can get rid of a poison counter with a ♥ (that ♥ does not also heal a damage)"
"You can get rid of a shrink counter with a ♥ (that ♥ does not also heal a damage)"
This does not make the basic problem disappear. I still cannot see, that "getting rid of something" must be associated with the term "healing" except by whim of definition.
Seems to me you just want to be able to remove the tokens in Tokyo. So just house rule that up and you're fine. Otherwise, seems to me that the term "also heal" in this context implies that the removal of the token is a form of healing. If it was how you interpret it it would probably not have used the word "also". Now granted just looked up the section in the rules on the card explanation and they do use a funny wording on there about healing. So I'll give you that but in that same section they clearly state you may not use the ♥ in Tokyo to remove the counter.

Furthermore, with regular healing, you do not get rid of damage points, but you GET life points. The game does not know such thing as accumulating damage points. You can inflict damage, even damage points, but this does not lead to accumulation of damage points, but to deduction of life points. So, the definition of getting rid off something = healing is not even correct for regular healing.
Sorry this is just incorrect you do not get life points you heal your damaged life points. This is a very big difference. If I get life points that means at 10 I would increase to 11 or at 12 increase to 13. Instead you heal the damaged life points back up to your maximum.
