Mercury and Cilantro

[Guest guest]

Is there a good place to find out more if cilantro really works in taking

mercury out of the body? I am thinking of buying a supplemental cilantro

product(don't know which one yet). Is there a good amalgam site or newsgroup

online?

Hi ,

Some lists:

http://www.deja.com/group/alt.health.dental-amalgam

http://www.cfsn.com/metlist.html

http://www.listserv.gmd.de/archives/amalgam.html

This site gives good information about mercury amalgam:

http://www.altcorp.com/

Here is an article about cilantro (coriander) I have received from

another list.

Bye,

Eliane

Title: The Poor Man's Chelation Therapy

There's nothing I like more than learning about inexpensive, common

herbs

or spices that exhibit unusual healing properties. Historically, the use

of

herbs and spices in cooking evolved as a method to preserve foods and

make

them safer to store and eat. While we've grown accustomed to using these

items to enhanced or accentuate flavors of food, researchers continue to

discover that they have much more to offer than just good taste. A

recent

example involves the work of Dr. Yoshiaki Omura.

Dr. Omura recently informed us that he discovered almost by accident,

that

the leaves of the coriander plant can accelerate the excretion of

mercury,

lead and aluminum from the body. He had been treating several patients

for

an eye infection called trachoma (granular conjunctivitis), which is

caused

by the micro-organism Chlamydia trachomatis. Following the standard

treatment with antibiotics. Dr. Omura found that the patients' symptoms

would clear up initially, then recur within a few month. He experienced

similar difficulties in treating viral related problems like Herpes

Simplex

types I & II and Cytomegalovirus infection.

Cilantro Helps Flush Out Heavy Metals

After taking a closer look, Dr. Omura found those 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 organicism were able

to

use the toxic metals to protect themselves from the antibiotics.

It just so happens that 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 contains Chinese parsley,

or

it is better known in this country, cilantro. (Some of you may also know

it

as coriander, since it comes form the leaves of the coriander plant.)

Further testing revealed that eating cilantro also increased urinary

excretion of lead and aluminum. And when cilantro was used concurrently

with antibiotics or natural anti-viral agents and/ or fatty acids like

EPA

with D.A., the above infection could be eliminated for good. (Acupnct

Electrother Res. 95:20 (3-4): 195-229.)

Dr. Omura has made a remarkable discovery. He's found a novel technique

which greatly increases our ability to clear up recurring infections

both

viral and bacterial. And perhaps more exciting, he's discovered an

inexpensive, easy way to remove (or " chelate " ) toxic metals from the ner

vous system and body tissue - one that anybody can use.

This is Great News for Amalgam Sufferers

Chelation therapy using chemicals like EDTA has long been used to help

remove these heavy metals, but cilantro is the only natural substance

I'M

aware of that has demonstrated this ability. This will become news for

people suffering from the ill effect of amalgam dental fillings, which

contains approximately 50% mercury.

Dr. Omura recently performed another study in which three amalgam

filling

where removed from an individual using all of the precautions available

to

prevent absorption of the mercury from the amalgam. Even with strong air

and water suction, water rinses, and a rubber dental dam, significant

amounts of mercury were later found in the individual's lungs, kidneys,,

endocrine organs, liver and heart. There was no mercury in these tissue

prior to the amalgam removal.

Remarkably, without the help of any chelation agents, cilantro was able

to

remove the mercury in two to three weeks. (Acupunct Electrother Res

96;21

(2): 133-60.)

Since some of the patients didn't like the taste of fresh cilantro, Dr.

Omura had a pharmaceutical company create a 100 mg cilantro tablet. In

the

above dental study, one tablet was taken four times a day. As of yet, I

haven't been able to find a tested commercial tablet of cilantro. It is

believed that the active component in cilantro are easily destroyed

during

processing. For this reason, I recommend sticking to fresh herb. It can

be

eaten raw in soup or salad, on tacos, or as garnish with practically any

dish.

Recipe for Cilantro Pesto (Make That " Chelation Pesto " )

I would think it should also work if the cilantro were juiced, but

perhaps

the easiest and tastiest way to use the herb would be as the main

ingredient in a home made pesto sauce. You can start with the basic

recipe

below and add other nuts and spices to suite your taste.

Cilantro Pesto

1 clove of garlic

1/2 cup of almonds, cashews, or other nuts

1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves

2 tablespoons lemon juice

6 tablespoons olive oil

Put the cilantro and olive oil in blender and process until the cilantro

is

chopped. Add the rest of the ingredients and process to a lumpy past.

(You

may need to add a touch of hot water and scrape the sides of the

blender.)

You can change the consistency by altering the amount of olive oil and

lemon juice, but keep the 3:1 ratio of oil to juice. (If freezes well,

so

you can make several batches at once.)

In light of the ever-worsening quality of our water and soil and the

widespread use of metals in everyday items like deodorant and cans, I

would

seriously suspect that all of us have some toxic metals in our body. And

unless they are carried out by a chelating agent, things like lead,

aluminum and mercury remain in the body forever. Besides associated with

arthritic condition, depression, muscle pain and weakness, memory loss

and

deterioration, and maybe even Alzheimer's disease.

Summer's here and cilantro is readily available across the country. It

is

very popular herb in Mexican cooking, and due to their large Mexican

populations is easy to find anywhere from Texas to California. In other

areas, you may need to visit an Oriental market or specialty

supermarket,

(Remember, it's also called Chinese parsley.)

I would highly recommend that you take advantage of this " poor man's

chelation treatment " . I'm in the process of doing it now my shelf and

intend to do so at least once or twice a year from now on. All it takes

is

adding fresh cilantro to your everyday foods or eating a couple

teaspoons

of cilantro pesto a day for two or three weeks; either will give the

dose

Dr. Omura used in his research. Judging by the price around here, that

means you'd be spending less than a dollar for two weeks of cleansing!

Of

course, if you really don't like cilantro, you can always spend a

thousands

times that much on a series of intravenous chelation treatments...
