Before I knew better I used a product that contained chlorella and
cilantro and so did my good friend. Believe me, our reactions show
beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are dangerous. We weren't using
anything else at the time that could have possibly contributed to the
serious negative reactions.

The hype about chlorella and cilantro comes from companies that want
to profit from the products. There is no good science out there
anywhere that would support the use of these for mercury poisoned
people. Chlorella is high sulfur and therefore can sort of drag
mercury around the body, without helping to eliminate it, and make
people very sick. There is something in cilantro that does chelate
metals, but there has not been enough research done to know what the
substance is or how to use it properly. Consequently, people who use
cilantro run the risk that the active ingredient will ram mercury and
other metals INTO their brain and/or other sensitive tissues.
