Re: Bad Cilantro Experience

[Guest guest]

, thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am a moderator from

the adult chelation groups, and only pop in here occassionally, but happened to

catch your post. We have had new people recently asking why we don't recommend

cilantro and chlorella, so I hope you don't mind, but I gave a link to your post

and shared it with the adult groups. This is adult-metal-chelation and

frequent-dose-chelation, and FDC is exclusively for people using Andy's

protocol, but the question still comes up. Again, thanks.---Jackie

making very slow improvements in my tinnitus, brain fog, anxiety, chronic

fatigue, and " tightness " that characterized my symptoms of mercury poisoning

from dental amalgams and possibly vaccines as a child. I became extremely

impatient with the slow results and decided to take 2-10 drops of liquid

Cilantro extract every 6 hours while still actively chelating with DMSA-ALA. I

also took some Chlorella with the Cilantro as Dr. Klinghardt's protocol

suggests. For the first day and a half, I actually felt very good, but after

two days my condition worsened so bad that I was not able to get off the couch

for the rest of the weekend. All symptoms showed immediate regression, erasing

months of gains from the DMSA-ALA therapy. Increased tinnitus, debilitating

fatigue, mental fog, mental tightness, and a feeling of my brain not syncing

with the world were all the direct results of my cilantro experiment. I also

had to lower my dosage of DMSA-ALA because of the increased mercury

redistribution. The best way I can describe what the cilantro did to my brain

is to think about shaking up a snow globe, only instead of fake snow blizzard in

water imagine a mercury milkshake in my brain.

before taking the Cilantro. I am more than happy now to wait out the slow

improvements that DMSA-ALA + Pectasol give me. Perhaps cilantro would be more

effective at a smaller dose, but I will not try it anytime soon and I would

caution anyone thinking about trying it to be very careful, the cilantro does

work but a little too well evidently. It also feels like it just digs out the

mercury from your brain but doesn't help it get out which produces severe

redistribution poisoning and could lead to permanent neurological damage.

source such as Pectasol or mercury free Alginate. I can definitely say that

this combination works, you just have to be patient and chelate for 1-3 years.

I chelate 3.5 days on, 3.5 days off every week over the weekend, every 3 hours

as per Andy Cutler's protocol, as this produces noticeable gains with tolerable

side effects. I am currently on 25mg DMSA + 33mg ALA every three hours, and am

about to increase to 50mg DMSA + 50mg ALA as soon as I feel the old dose not

working.
