I was able to eat cilantro before my amalgams came out. After they came out my
iaomt DDS put me on cilantro drops, I tolerated them ok for about 2 months. Now
if I have a tiny bit I have HUGE MERCURY REDISTRIBUTION. Please heed Steve's
advice folks. I can't touch the stuff, big pain in my head, I agree with Andy,
BIG PROBLEM for some. Why risk hurting a child who may not communicate how awful
it is? Just my 2 cents. Alison. Don't do it. Major OWIEEE. Peace

-- why do you a trust a man who has repeatedly been asked civilly to
explain how he administers cilantro and what doses and dosing
periods are safe, yet has failed to answer these questions?

If Andy refused to explain his protocol you would much less
forgiving.

-- I hope it is more objective than your post on magnesium oil and
it does not quote flakes like Dr Norman Shealy. Also, do you plan on
answering queries re magnesium glycinate? If you post writings on
magnesium on an autism list you really have to discus this form of
magnesium.

-- cost and convenience are important, but less important than
safety and efficacy. We need more info on these aspects of cilantro.

There have been many reports on negative efects of cilantro in
mercury toxic people. It is irresponsible to ignore these.

I would also add that it is irresponsbile and callous of you to
ignore the many postings by people who have experienced side-effects
with the Buttar protocol and had better results when switching to
the frequent dose protocol.

Despite your many postings aggressively advocating buttar's protocol
and attacking Andy's, you have not once adressed the many postings
that report better results with the frequent dose schedule.

The kids who were hurt by Buttar's system and benefitted from the
change in dosing schedules are real people. We should be driven by
their needs, not our own egos.

It is wrong to ignore reality in order to push your own barrow. But
it appears that his is precisely whart you intend to do again in
advocating cilantro.
