Michelle,
How you have the time, the good spelling and the very good writing
that I do not have? ;-)
In a few words, cilantro WORKS!
I prescribe to my patients afflicted with mercury contamination, lead
contamination, and cooper contamination, just to mention a few
culprits of a bad feeling and diseases, and those eat LOTS of
cilantro.
We are talking to use half kilo (500 grams) of cilantro, blended
combined with some celery, orange juice and some salt (for flavor)
three times a day until they shows diarrhea, then reduce the intake to
half kilo one time a day.
They (My patients) report:
Improvement in visual acuity, hearing acuity, thinking, talking (All
of this neurological improvements)
Disappearing of depression, suicidal desires, and some report
returning of the libido after a long time of not sexual life... just
to mention a few psychological improvements.
ALL my patients says that they never will stop using cilantro.
Do you know that in Mexico, cilantro is used in almost ALL our meals?
That cilantro is used in great quantities every day at the Mexican
table? That no one restaurant in Mexico can be without cilantro?C'mon
boys! forget those reports of "toxicity" and do not be afraid of using
cilantro... (Half Mexico or 40 million people will be dead if cilantro
is toxic!)

happen to have been eating regularly at an organic restaurant that spices its
food with cilantro. I have no tests or anything, so can't give you the kind of
feedback that you typically see on this list. And I wasn't even consciously
trying to treat mercury poisoning. I just knew I felt better on days when I ate
there and worse on days when I didn't. It was ony after I joined this list (in
November?) that I made the connection to mercury.

(and I know absolutley nothing at all about chlorella).
http://kitchendoctor.com/articles/cilantro.html If you go that route, it seems
you will largely be performing an experiment. The website appears to have no
educational/informational materials to go with it, and this list has no
information on how to effectively and safely use it and for that reason (and
perhaps others) they recommend against it. I wouldn't personally recommend
against it because my experience is that, where available, herbs are generally
more effective with fewer harsh side effects than drugs and chemicals. In fact,
I have suggested privately to a couple of people that they might look into
cilantro because of adverse reactions to the standard treatment here (or similar
comments by them). But I would recommend against doing it without any kind of
> guidance and/or sufficient personal knowledge/research. And I don't know much
about chelation so I expect to be booed and hissed for posting this at all. :-)

it differently (or have allergic reactions to the "standard" treatment
recommended by this list), it would be a gamble. I imagine folks here would
compare it to "playing Russian Roulette". Lest you get the idea that I just had
food with cilantro in it and that was "sufficient", I have been treating myself
(for 4+ years) for a different condition that nearly killed me and that doctors
never did properly diagnose (so I have a hypothesis as to what is wrong but no
official answers, verified by tests, etc). I did a lot of research and I have
been monitored for the last 2 1/2 years by a friend who used to be a registered
nurse and learned a great deal about alternative medicine due to family members
having chemical sensitivities, chronic health problems, etc. and unable to take
antibiotics and the like. A cornerstone of my self-treatments have been daily
hot baths -- timed and using a thermometer for many
> months to determine the most effective temperature, etc. Saunas have been
noted on this list as an effective treatment for mercury and I have heard that
heat may be necessary to mobilize toxins from fatty deposits. So I would have
to say, anecdotally, that my experience was a combination of eating cilantro and
then taking a hot salt-water bath afterwards, followed by wrapping up and
sweating.

get well is not something I would do to another human being. It would be
irresponsible and more dangerous than what I have done to myself. I can monitor
my own body very closely by how I feel, etc -- much more so than I can monitor
another. I was literally dying and the doctors were not helping (and sometimes
suggested that what I really needed was a good psychiatrist). I had nothing to
lose. I am sure I harmed myself at times. My attitude was "If I die, it won't
matter if my liver is damaged or not." (etc) (Anything I have given my kids, I
tried on myself first.)

approaches and a good many appear to have professional training (doctors,
nurses, etc) that give them the background to experiment -- like I did. If you
have sufficient background knowledge, take a cautious approach, and seek
feedback from others, I don't see anything wrong with experimenting. If you face
the kind of conundrum I had -- where doing the "known" thing meant certain death
and experimenting was a chance at living -- I highly recommend experimenting
(carefully and using appropriate methodologies, of course).
