Just to chime on about cilantro. When I first got my amalgams replaced by iaomt

DDS he recommended cilantro drops. I did them for about 3  months THEN gotvery 

bad  redistribution issues. I always STAY AWAY FROM ALL CILANTRO. I react

TERRIBLY to any cilantro now. ANY. And I love the flavor. My son eats cilantro

pesto rice from whole foods, and when there issoeleftohisplate I am tempted but

NEVER even touch it. Really. I get REALLY bad headaches. I say stay away.

Alison. Peace.

Actually, Dr. Torres, you have changed what Linda said, and

I take exception to that. She said "lots and lots" and you said

"hundreds".  Sorry, that doesn't fly, those are different.

So, please don't count yourself in the same boat with my

request.



good wishes,

Moria

Dear Moria,

Sorry for the confusion. In Spanish lots is compared as hundred, and lots

and lots is compared as thousands. I made the conversion to Spanish. My

apologies, and correction: LOTS.

Well, that certainly makes sense, that you would translate.

However, I must say, I think I would be VERY confused in

Spanish!  I hope there is another word for LOTS that is

less than hundreds!



Thanks for the information.
