Dr Doctor Torres,
I am wondering if you might be able to answer a question of mine.

Without getting into too much history, I used to able to eat cilantro in my
homemade salsa with no problem.
Then I "crashed" (got real sick) after living in Mammoth Lakes again. (for
the second time because of being in Mammoth Lakes (???) This is a whole
other story.) I nearly died and have struggled to gain back some ground.

Anyway, since then I have only had cilantro in my salsa once becasue it sent
me into a horrible attack. I am so eager to find
something...anything...that would help me be somewhat well...at least to the
point that I could exercise and get around like most other people, so I am
always curious about anything and everything I read.

Can you give me any kind of idea why this might have happened?

I only ate the cilantro once that day. It was about 8-10 hours later when
I got so seriously sick. Would it be possible that some very sensitive
individuals as I would have to take the cilantro about every 3 hours or so,
like Andy uses in is protocol?


Thank you for any input you might have.
Inga

PS - By the way,admittedly, I have also had some foods and supplements that
have given me similar attacks.

I never tought that my experiences would make that storm.
Yes, English is a "try to speak" between tonges, and I beg your perdon
to all of you that are reading my "incoherences".
I sent a personal e-mail to Mark just to let him know about our work
here in Mexicali Mexico (I live in California due that the school for
my daughter afflicted with fragile X syndrome, now with almost 30
years of age, were at that age really scarce in Mexico, not to name in
Mexicali Mexico, the place where I lived 27 years ago).
I had been lurking to this list for more than a year (or maybe less)
just reading those important posts of those parents with chuildren
afflicted with autism... just lurking, but suddenly the bell rang!
CILANTRO CILANTRO CILANTRO, and I sent one of my first writtings
Eating cilantro in my country is a common thing, by custom we eat from
our early years and no one in Mexico (There are some Mexicans here?) ,
unknown the word cilantro... I remember when a kid that my sent me to
the market (not the "super maerkets") in order to buy some perejil and
cilantro for our eating... for soup, stews, etc and she order me to
pick up the freshest cilantro, because you cannot eat an old cilantro,
same for perejil
The media comsumption of cilantro in Mexico a week is almost 1 kilo
for a family (2 kids,father,mother), but when there are parties, and
the main dish is pozole or tostadas or it is used salsa, the
consumption is more. I saw at the T.V. that a school in Phylipines
suffered a very strong contamination (food poisoning) of the school
population eating a candy: yuca, the flavor of this candy was sour,
and when analized it contined arsenicum a potent venom... in Mexico
the yuca root is consumed in large quantities, and Never in say 500
years has been a death with the consumption of this yuca... maybe the
contaminated yuca picked up the venom from the soil? The report said
that the yuca was not well cooked... but who knows?
To eat 500 grams (more or less) 2-3 times a day is really more than
the media of the weekly consumption. I never used it on children
(NEVER USED IT ON CHILDREN) and the results were spectacular. I give
my permission to Mark to put my email in full here, because it was not
a secret communication, I made tests (hair) that showed after one
month of using cilantro, a real decrease or normalization of the
contamination with lead, mercury.
Alex
P.S. cilantro MUST be fresh, really fresh. The restaurants in USA DO
NOT include cilantro (fresh) or chile (mucho picante! for the USA
tonge!)
