I tried cilantro one day, just to see, thinking it might well taste

terrible, but I found I love it. Today I had cilantro and pineapple,

mango, carrot, apple, celery and I forget what else in a big smoothie,

which I sipped on for several hours. mmmmmmmmm

Do you think adding mint and ginger might be a good or bad thing?

My only experience with cilantro was in salsa, tomatilla dip and tortilla soup

so my mind was thinking Mexican spicy and not in the direction of adding to

fruit. It will be a new taste sensation, I am sure.

I've never mixed cilantro with sweet stuff, only savory (like salsa and soup) but HAVE had the experience of initially not liking cilantro, then learning to tolerate it, then liking it. If I can make those adaptations, perhaps I can learn to like it in a sweet (fruit based) smoothies.Did you know that cilantro is a powerful chelator. A line from my demonstrations…"Cilantro is a powerful chelator. Something in cilantro crosses the blood-brain barrier and chelates mercury, aluminum, and other heavy metals. I call it my 'Alzheimer's Insurance Policy' to eat Cilantro every day."If a person likes cilantro in both sweet and savory concoctions it makes it easier to get cilantro into the diet daily!A warning: If you have heavy mercury toxicity, cilantro may make you worse and you should back off. Mercury hides deep away from vital organs (the body's way of protecting them) and chelators (natural and man-made) pull out the mercury from its hiding places. Unless you are clearing the elimination pathways (skin - via far-infrared saunas, bowels via proper diet and magnesium (bowels is mercury's #1 elimination pathway), and kidneys (urine) via plenty of water (1/2 oz. for every pound you weigh); mercury toxic people can get worse if you "stir up" the mercury but it can't get out. Cilantro, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Chlorella are all 3 powerful natural chelators. All 3 made me VERY sick until I started using Zeolite to mop up the mercury as it was "released" from its hiding places. In addition to the zeolite, I've been doing saunas, coffee enemas, dietary changes, and I drink PLENTY of water.Sorry if this is too much information. Just wanted to discuss the benefits (with warnings) of Cilantro as it relates to heavy metal toxicity...

I was putting ¼ teaspoon of chlorella in my morning fiber drink, which is in 10

ounces of water, and found that it gave me minor acid reflux so I stopped using

it. Any suggestions on what I might be able to do, because I'd like to keep

using it.

[Guest guest]

Can you tell us what the rest of your ingredients are, and if you have increased

your fruit/veggie intake overall? If you are using a fiber supplement of some

kind, you may be getting to MUCH fiber now, as you will have added fiber via the

fruits and veggies and may no longer need a supplement. The chlorella may not

be the issue, but if it is, I suggest taking it separate from your morning

drink, as you may be getting too much of many good things all at once, and your

digestive system just needs time to adjust. I personally found that I can't

take any added supplements, as I get plenty of what I need now just from the

whole foods. I think this is often the case-people don't realize that too much

of a good thing is just that-too much, and that getting the nutrients via the

whole food is far better on your system.

Try taking digestive enzymes with it.  In His Grace…Robbie From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2011 8:19 AM Subject: Re: Re: A recipe from Jane on Blend it and Mend it.

Hi, .

I fill my shaker cup with 10 ounces of water and a fiber product (which I sell,

so I won't use the name) I must use to keep my cholesterol and triglycerides in

check. (When I started taking it, in less than 60 days, my cholesterol went from

257 to 201 and my triglycerides went from 238 to 167; and both numbers continue

to drop). If you're ready for a long list, here are the ingredients:

guar gum

gum arabic

locust bean gum

pectin

oat fiber

calcium carbonate

beta-glucans

natural and artificial orange flavors

ascorbic acid

aspartame (wish it didn't)

maltodextrin

niacinamide

d-alpha tocopheryl acetate

natural vanilla flavor

zinc gluconate

pyridoxine HCI

riboflavin

thiamin HCI

beta-carotene

folic acid

chromium

biotin

selenium

cyanocobalamin

(gluten free)

I've been drinking green smoothies since August and haven't had a problem. I

started putting â…› teaspoon of chlorella in the morning mixture and didn't have

a problem, so I amped it up to ¼ teaspoon then noticed I started having a

little acid reflux throughout the day. I evaluated what I had changed in my diet

and could only come up with the increase in chlorella, so I stopped taking it

altogether and the acid reflux stopped immediately. Was surprised such a little

change made such a difference.

[Guest guest]

Hello ,Thank you for being conscientious, and not mentioning the name out of consideration. But I'm writing to let you know that you CAN mention the name on the list, and Include the link to your product - as long as it fits in with the discussion, and it isn't an obviously regular "ad" (which I am certain you would not do, due to the respect you just showed the list).Thanks again!

That's kind of you, LeeAnn.

Hmmm, not sure I would like cilantro taste with mint or ginger, but, I

would at least try it, to see. I have never tossed a smoothie, I just

grin and bear it if I don't really love the taste, because I know

everything I put in it is good for me, even if the particular combo

taste is not perfect. I use a small piece of ginger quite often in mine,

so maybe I have had ginger and cilantro and forgotten.

I finally made mine this morning, and kept it basic, watermelon, cilantro,

pineapple, red grapes and ice. It was much thinner than I have been used to,

but wanted to check out the cilantro flavor. It wasn't bad. I still think my

favorite flavor is the mint and lime combo but I will do more cilantro

experiments.

much. haha
