According to the interesting studies by Dr Yoshiaki Omura, made
public in June of 1998 , and discovered almost by accident, leaves of
the coriander plant can accelerate the excretion of mercury, lead and
aluminum from the body.

While he was testing for those metals, Dr. Omura noticed the mercury
level in the urine increased after one consumed a healthy serving of
Vietnamese soup. The soup has alot of Chinese parsley or cilantro. He
continued along this line of testing and found that eating cilantro
also increased the amount of lead and aluminun in the urine meaning
it was drawing the deposited metals out of the body.

He also found that organisms seemed to hide and flourish in area of
the body where there were concentrations of heavy metals like
mercury, lead and aluminum. Somehow the organisms were able to use
the toxic metals to protect themselves from the antibiotics.

Cilantro tea is also know to settle an upset stomach and is
classified as an antispasmodic and stomachic.
