Re: Beautiful Fast

thank you ff,

"Thanks for the tip about mercury cleansing. How much chlorella and how much cilantro?"

I have read different protocols and i won't claim any expertise on this subject... and would encourage you do do your own research before deciding whether it's something you want to do and how you would go about it. For one thing, it is a bit controversial. Some will say that the mercury is safer where it is and it's best not to stir it up. It's hard to know how much of that is face saving and/or political though. The vast majority of dentists continue to believe (or pretend to believe, i'm not sure which)that mercury fillings are perfectly safe. Of course we ingest some mercury from fish too. I believe i found what i could mostly within cure zone. It might be under "chelation".

In any case, i settled on a 3 gram packet of chlorella 2x per day... as to the cilantro, I would say it was about 1/4 of a batch, juiced (producing perhaps a tablespoon or two). I also ingested juiced garlic around the time of the chlorella (which supposedly helps protect the cells from getting damaged by the uprooted mercury... the juice from about 2 cloves and generally pre-cooked) and vitamin C and zinc somewhere in there, though it is said that the vitamin C should be taken far apart from the chlorella. I believe taking the chlorella 30 minutes before the cilantro places it right in the part of the small intestine that the liver sends the mercury to by the time you take the cilantro. The chlorella is the metal magnet that safely carries the mercury out of the body... i believe through the urine.

The greatest warning i can offer from the limited information i have is that it would not be good to take cilantro without the chlorella... and to a lesser extent without the garlic, C and Zinc. The cilantro causes the mercury to be released and the chlorella catches it and safely transports it out.

I have no idea whatsoever what my results were or if i even had a problem with mercury to begin with, but wanted to do it just in case, particularly just before my Water Fast in case it was helpful. It was easy enough and completely painless :).

"Good luck to you and hope you do better than I am. Thanks for the very interesting post."

You're not doing well? I saw above that you were loving your fast :). Was that sarcasm that slipped past me? :) Thank you and good luck to you as well :). Tweet
