<Ok, I think I heard here (or in NT or somewhere) that cilanto chelates (I

know I spelled that wrong LOL) mercury and pulls it out of your body. But

someone I talked to recently said that while it does mobilize the mercury,

it doesn't actually remove it, you need to take something else to remove it

from the body.

I've heard this (needing something else) about other detoxifiers, but not

about cilantro. I believe the person (doctor?) who discovered this aspect

of cilantro did so because he found mercury in the urine of someone and

connected it to the ingestion of cilantro. If it's in the urine, it is

definitely being excreted from the body.

I have been using cilantro in large quantites in my daily juicing--on a

week, off a week--to detox large quantities of mercury from my brain. When

I started,. I often found areas of my scalp becomming extremely sensitive or

painful. I no longer have these flareups, but I don't know exactly why.

Several things have changed since I began: 1) I stopped eating wild

blueberries (which I think also detoxifies mercury), 2) I began using clay

as a shampoo to speed up detoxification and eliminate the pain, and 3) it

may be that I have already eliminated most or all of the mercury already

(though I somehow don't think so as I still feel depressed a lot of the

time.)

Hi ,

The research you are looking for was done by Dr Y Omura. He

discovered that cilantro does indeed chelate Mercury. I have been

using his methods for a year now. It took about 6 mos to clean me up

of the Mercury.

I created a blog that consists of eight pages of articles on the

topics of Mercury chelation, Dr Y Omura's research and CFS/FMS. The

Dr Omura articles are sprinkled throughout the eight pages starting

at page 1.

http://www.curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=59 & p=1

I have since been banned from updating my blog due to my strong

feelings about chelating SLOWLY to avoid problems mentally and

emotionally. Someone else on the same site suggested that people eat

far too much cilantro (in my opinion) and I objected to that advice

strongly and so I was banned from posting there anymore.

Many people use the fresh cilantro. I hate the taste and was

fortunate to find a Dr who studies with Dr Omura and so I was able

to get the cilantro pills Dr Omura has manufactured.

However, it is important to note that Dr Omura makes it pretty clear

that it is not just a matter of chelating with cilantro - there are

other factors to be considered such as the fact that when Mercury is

chelated, other hidden infections are also released when the Mercury

is mobilized therefore, cilantro isn't the only treatment. I am

taking 1000 mg EPA (fish oil) X 4 daily and also as I was chelating,

I would alternate between cilantro and various antibiotics to deal

with the infections and yeasts that Mercury chelation releases.

Also, Dr Omura has perfected an " uptake method " that improves the

effectiveness of these medications. The " uptake method " is mostly

massaging certain accupressure points on the hands, or simply

rubbing the palms togther for several minutes when you take the dose.

I do not know how to locate other Dr's who study Dr Omura's methods.

I do know of people who have called Dr Omura but he doesn't keep a

list of Dr's who attend his workshops and was unhelpful.

So, in summary, I would definbately agree that cilantro is an

effective chelator of heavy metals, but I would only take about a

tsp. of the stuff fresh, per day, for about a week and then rest a

week, always taking the fish oil to control virus.

On my blog there are all the articles I could find on Dr Omura's

work.

Cheers,

*Sue*

AFAIK, cilantro doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier. Few things do. Alpha

lipoic acid is one of them. DMSA is controversial. Some say it does, some

say it doesn't. I follow Andy CUtler's chelation protocol. He recommends

against using cilantro as a chelator as he says there's no solid evidence

that it removes Hg from the body, although it does *mobilize* it within the

body. It's possible it just moves it from place to place. DMSA actually

removes it from the body though. I'm on several Hg chelation lists and have

never seen any confirmation that cilantro crosses the BB barrier.

FWIW.

Suze,

Thanks for the information. As I said, I'm not sure how to assess what I've

experienced in the last few months, and now I'm not sure how this further

information impacts on my understanding of that experience.

One of the things I wonder now is if the cilantro could possibly have an

effect on mercury without passing the blood-brain barrier. That is, whether

there might be a " middleman " at work here. Or whether the clay I use on my

scalp could be pulling the mercury out without itself being absorbed into

the body.

Oh well, this isn't the only area where I am working somewhat blind,

depending on faith as much as understanding. Also, I do have mercury

elsewhere in my body (again, high amounts) and am hoping the cilantro does

me good there.

Hi Suze,

I am sorry but you are mistaken about cilantro - it does indeed

cross the blood/brain barrier. Dr Omura writes about it and I can

attest to it in practice. He found that only cilantro and ALA do.

Chelation isn't a fun ride, especially when chelating Mercury from

the brain. Certain chelation side effects however, such as

hallucinations, are undeniable.

Janice,

Thanks for your post and the links. I was interested to learn that

chelating mercury could involve, not only some mental and emotional

problems, but also infections, esp. yeast infections. I think I've been

dealing with the release of a very low-grade vaginal or uterine infection

since I started on the cilantro.

You said it took you about 6 mos. to " clean up " from mercury. What kind of

test did you take before and after your cilantro program?

http://www.taichi4seniors.com

[Guest guest]

So sorry, Sue. My last post I addressed to Janice was meant for you!

http://www.taichi4seniors.com

[Guest guest]

Hi,

AS described in the links I posted earlier, we used the Bi Digital O

ing testing method developed by Dr Omura. I later confirmed that I was

clear of Mercury with my Naturopath.

It is possible that you are experiencing yeasts and bacteria while

chelating. Be sure to take your EPA/DHA (fish oil) X 4 a day while

taking cilanntro to help keep the bugs at bay. Dr Omura's method is

not JUST cilantro - it involves the EPA as well as selective uptake

methods to insure the medications get to where they need to.

Hmm.. I posted a message that doesn't seem to have made it...

Sorry Suze, you are mistaken about that information.

Cilantro does indeed cross the Blood/Brain barrier. Dr Omura found

that only cilantro and ALA do.

Some people say that if you pull mercury out of the body (not the

brain), then a shift can happen... mercury can move out of the brain

and into the body. So, the chelating agent does not have to cross the

BBB in order pull mercury out of the brain.

Wow! I would never have imagined a scenario like this. For some strange

reason, it makes me want to laugh, not at the idea, but with delight at the

possibility. The body is really an incredible thing.

I guess I've been for

Hi Suze,

Yes, there are a number of published documents by Dr Omura that

address the issue of cilantro chelating across the blood/brain

barrier. I am sure you can search as well as I can. Below is only

one such article that I was able to find quickly.

http://bdort.net/pdf/11thEngAbst.pdf

<<snip>>

When these viral infections are inhibited by the use of a mixture of

EPA & DHA as effective, safe, anti-viral agent, and excessively

deposited metals were removed from the brain by giving Cilantro to

remove metals using " Selective Drug Uptake Enhancement Method "

(developed by Omura, in early 1990s).

<<snip>>

but it is from 2001 - there are more recent articles out there, but

personally, I am not about to go hunting for them to prove a point.

You can do that if you choose. I have every document published by

Omura that I have been able to obtain and while I have read them

all, I haven't memorized them.

In addition to the published works, I know that cilantro does cross

the blood brain barrier because my Dr studies with Dr Omura,

directly, and told me so. That is good enough for me. I get this

information only once-removed from Dr Omura himself. Also, my own

experience this last year on the Omura methods, proves it to me. I

am now testing clean of Mercury and so I don't particularly care,

anymore, as I know what to do about it, and it works for me.

When I chelated with cilantro pills from Dr Omura, one of the first

symptoms that clerared up was the " brain fog " . As time went by, many

more mental functions also improved. I no longer suffered depression

or anxiety and panic attacks. I regained emotional control. These

are all brain functions that were improved or eliminated by

chelation with cilantro.

ABSTRACT

While studying patients with Electromagnetic Field Hypersensitivity,

Pre-Alzheimer's Disease as well as Autism and abnormal mental &

motor function in children, the author found that the following

findings are common among these patients:

1. A marked increase in metal deposits such as Al, Pb and Hg in the

brain, particularly, the Hippocampus area or motor cortex (where

abnormal motor function exists).

2. A marked decrease in Acetylcholine often reduced less than one

fifth of normal concentration (the amount of Acetylcholine required

to produce maximum Bi-Digital O-Ring Test Resonance was less than

500 ìg and often reduced to less than 350 ìg compared with the

normal range of l500 ìg - 5000 ìg).

3. Viral infection with or without bacterial infection.

4. A strong negative (-) Qi.

When excessive metal deposit of Al, Pb, & Hg exist in brain, they

function as multiple micro-antenna and absorb environmental Electro-

Magnetic Field and creates a micro- inflammation and reduce

Acethylcholine in the surrounding nervous system. In the presence of

infection, Acetylcholine further diminishes with localized

circulatory disturbances with increased Thromboxane B2.

The most common infections found in these patients were

Cytomegalovirus, Human Herpes Virus Type 6, Chlamydia Trachomatis

and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. In addition, if the patient also has

a headache in one side of the head, then the most common cause is

Herpes Simplex Virus Type I, and occasionally Mycobacterium

Tuberculosis can also create a headache in one side of the head. If

a headache exists in both sides of the head, then usually one side

of the head has a Herpes Simplex Virus Type I infection and the

other side of the head has a Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 infection.

Less frequently, both sides of the head will have a Mycobacterium

Tuberculosis infection which causes a headache in both sides of the

head.

For all of these viruses, mixture of EPA and DHA in a gelatin

capsule is very effective. For Chlamydia Trachomatis, both

Azithromycin and Doxycycline are very effective, but only

Doxycycline is compatible with mixture of EPA & DHA.

When these viral infections are inhibited by the use of a mixture of

EPA & DHA as effective, safe, anti-viral agent, and excessively

deposited metals were removed from the brain by giving Cilantro to

remove metals using " Selective Drug Uptake Enhancement Method "

(developed by Omura, in early 1990s to selectively deliver the

effective medication to the pathological area, by stimulating

accurate brain organ representation area with acupuncture or other

means at the 1st distal segment of the middle fingers, corresponding

to the pathologic area of the brain), Acetylcholine often markedly

increased with decreased (-) Qi and significant improvement of

memory and other brain functions and behavior within 1-2 days. If

additional bacterial infection such as Chlamydia Trachomatis co-

exist, to get further improvement, Doxycline was given together with

mixture of EPA & DHA using " Selective Drug Uptake Enhancement

Method " without Cilantro as Doxycycline and Cilantro cancel each

other's effects. But if additional Mycobactrium Tuberculosis

infections co-exists, both Isoniazid and Rifampin, which are

effective for Mycobactrium Tuberculosis, cancel the effects of EPA &

DHA, as well as the effect of Doxycycline, and therefore these

medications cannot be given together. However, in the early 1990s,

the author found the Saiko-Keishito (Tsumura No.10) is compatible

with EPA +DHA as well as Doxycycline. Therefore, this combination of

EPA & DHA and Saiko-Keishito is also successfully used for

simultaneous treatment of cancer with coexisting Mycobacterium

Tuberculosis with alternative use of a combination of EPA & DHA,

Cilantro and Selective Drug Uptake Enhancement Method.

By giving the compatible effective medications Selective Dug Uptake

Enhancement, often significant improvements were obtained within a

few days of treatment. The therapeutic effect was further enhanced

and accelerated by taking a hot shower or a hot bath and doing

Selective Drug Uptake Enhancement about 30 minutes after taking

these effective and compatible medications. One of the major factors

inhibiting drug uptake is wearing underwear or wearing metals such

as earrings, necklaces, watches and bracelets, which produce a

strong negative Bi-Digital O-Ring Test. Even if the underwear is O-

Ring Test positive, if the label on the underwear is not removed,

then drug uptake will be significantly inhibited because almost all

labels are strong O-Ring Test negative. Also, the crossing of the

hands or legs also inhibits drug uptake. Therefore, in order to

obtain excellent therapeutic results using effective medication and

Selective Drug Uptake Enhancement Method, all the factors that

inhibit drug uptake have to be eliminated.

Greetings,

This thread has got me thinking -

Cilantro is used extensively in Indian cooking and most of our meals are

sprinkled with

Cilantro (lentils, curry, literally everything).

However, my wife is breast feeding our 8 mo old daughter.

If cilantro chelates mercury, it would most likely end up in breast milk,

wouldn't it?

Now, my wife has never been tested for mercury and we don't think there is an

issue (no

dental fillings, low consumption of seafood, etc.) but is there enough cause to

stop

using cilantro?

-Pratick
