Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Cilantro is excellent for chelating heavy metals out of our bodies. However there are a number of considerations to consider. Following is an excerpt from an article found at: www.kitchendoctor.com/articles/cilantro.html#freeradical Shivani " It seems possible due to the highly preliminary feedback I have been receiving on cilantro use that when heavy metals are removed from the body, parasite populations may increase. Those with candida albicans should be especially aware of this potential issue. This is a " speculation, " not a " fact. " However, it seems an important enough consideration that those intending to chelate metals from their body consider the merits of an evaluation of the presence of parasites before jumping feet first into a radical toxic metal removal program. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest that most people do a parasite cleanse before removing the toxic metals. It might also be noted that many pharmaceutical parasiticides contain serious amounts of toxic metals, including arsenic. This is worth mentioning because those who already suffer from mercury, lead, or aluminum toxicity may have less tolerance for additional toxins. It is my belief that the heavy metal toxins in the body tend to hold parasite populations in check, in much the same way that a pharmacological compound would kill off parasites in the blood and elsewhere. These medicines are usually very toxic and may contain some of the same contaminants in amalgams and vaccines, another major source of mercury toxicity.
