This would be an entertaining diatribe if it weren't for the fact that some of

the worst adverse reaction stories I've collected involve toxic people and

cilantro.

I agree we don't need safety studies on everything before we use them, but we do

need to think, understand, and pay attention to what happens.

If you don't have much mercury you can eat all the cilantro you want.

Throughout most of history, people who weren't exposed to much mercury ate

cilantro - and they lived in times and places where people were dropping like

flies anyway, so if cilantro was killing them nobody would have noticed.

Now we live in a time and place where people get loaded up with mercury at a

young age. Most foods are still fine. Not all of them. THe mercury changed,

the merits of eating foods that happen to have chelators in them also changed.

No, this is not the same as saying don't eat tomatoes. People are chelating

with concentrated capsules of cilantro, not munching on a few tablespoons of the

stuff. Very different than cooking with it. They are taking these pills every

6 hours for days/weeks at a time in an attempt to mobilize mercury, lead and

arsenic.

I eat cilantro. I would not ingest large quantities of a known chelator without

any testing to back up the safety. Cilantro is a known chelator.

Lipoic acid (ALA) is found in dark leafy green vegetables and animal protein,

but we do not avoid those. But, you need to be careful when taking capsules of

the stuff.

Things like that happen all the time.. impossible right ... wrong. My son

was dx with autism.. it was real. but now he recovered . they say oh must

not have been autism..

My dad had some health issues and was getting checked out they did some scan

of his liver and said get your affairs in order you have end stage liver

cancer yadda yadda. well My dad is still here and that was 20 years ago.

turned out they were non cancer cysts on his liver .

The medical community doesn't know crap most of the time and therefore it

makes even more of these stories.

You can say you don't believe me when my son looked me in the eye

(sustainably ) for the 1st time just hours after dinking his 1st cup of RAW

goat milk. you can say you don't believe me . that's fine . my kid is

healthy and flourishing, reading and writing, singing and dancing and

playing baseball and is very popular. You don't have to believe me but you

should.

> We read a story about a study that eat " freshly chopped cilantro only 0.25

cup per day " ( which is not much), mixed with a bowl of fresh salad, I like

to sprinkle them on top of my entree (stew meat or fish), for 3 weeks

straight ( 0.25 cup of fresh chopped cilantro), and that made an autistic

boy starting to talk.

This kind of silliness reminds me of the news story in the 1980's about the

guy diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer and sent home to die. He didn't

like how it was going so he shot himself in the head.

Someone called 911, they rushed him to the emergency room and saved him, and

also found out the bullet had blown out the tumor and cured his cancer!

I always thought of that as God reminding the surgeon of who really could

perform miracles :-)

However, shooting yourself in the head to try to cure your cancer based on

this story makes more sense than most of what I see on the net about " and

that autistic boy XXXXX. " At least the cancer story is actually true, when

I've looked into these other stories they often are not.

The ones that are fall under the umbrella that if you do something random to

enough people, one of them will end up exhibiting whatever phenomenon you

are looking for totally by chance.

It's like the silly ads on my computer screen all the time " Tacoma Mom lost

43 pounds following one simple rule! " Etc.

If you care about your kid at all, take responsibility and think things

through. Comments like " it's just food, it must be safe! " are pretty silly

in light of how many people get food poisoning, and of things like

Lathyrism, a disease where eating a certain kind of pea causes paralysis in

many people.

You don't want some possibly made up story about somebody got better once

(maybe) doing something wonderful and easy.

You want lots of concrete, factual information, presented in a way you can

check for yourself and understand it well, that is clearly related to your

kid's situation. It should come from a credible source that has been saying

the same thing for a while, not a different random thing every year or two.

Whether or not this goes along with your personal worldview, or is too

conservative, your kid deserves nothing less than you taking some personal

responsibility to really figure out if what you are going to do for them is

a good idea or not. Remember, they got turned autistic because you didn't do

that - but that time it was a lot easier to excuse since there was this

whole institution of people pretending to great expertise that were telling

you made up lies about the safety of vaccines and the lack of any connection

between them and autism.

We live next to Lafarge Ravena in NY …the 4th biggest mercury polluter in

the county and we use large amounts of cilantro in cooking and I have had no

bad effects in my son.. and like I said earlier neither cilantro nor the ALA

(we took in 100mg 1 a day doses.. not your protocol and NO I would not

likely do it my way again) were really the deal breaker for us. But that is

just us. With all the detoxing and biomedical supplements … it was just

treating the symptoms… and the second you stopped regression occurred and it

just wasn’t sustainable. After the raw goat milk esp the raw colostrums we

have not gone back to the supplements and he has no regression and he has

never done better!
