:) The following is a copy of an email I received concerning toxic metal removal. It's a bit long but very interesting. :)




A recent example involves the work of Dr. Yoshiaki Omura.

Dr. Omura recently informed us that he discovered, almost by

accident, that the leaves of the coriander plant can accelerate

the excretion of mercury, lead and aluminum from the body. He

had been treating several patients for an eye infection called

trachoma (granular conjunctivitis), which is caused by the

micro-organism Chlamydia trachomatis. Following the standard

treatment with Antibiotics . Dr. Omura found that the patient's

symptoms would clear up initially, then recur within a few

months. He experienced similar difficulties in treating viral

related problems like Herpes Simplex types I & II and

Cytomegalovirus infection.



Cilantro Helps Flush Out Heavy Metals



After taking a closer look, Dr. Omura found those organisms

seemed to hide and flourish in areas of the body where there were

concentrations of heavy metals like mercury, lead and aluminum.

Somehow the organisms were able to use the toxic metals to

protect themselves from the Antibiotics .



It just so happens that while he was testing for those metals,

Dr. Omura noticed the mercury level in the urine increased after

one consumed a healthy serving of Vietnamese soup. The soup

contains Chinese parsley, or it is better known in this country,

cilantro. (Some of you may also know it as coriander, since it

comes from the leaves of the coriander plant.)



Further testing revealed that eating cilantro also increased

urinary excretion of lead and aluminum. And when cilantro was

used concurrently with Antibiotics or natural anti-viral agents

and/or fatty acids like EPA with D.A., the above infection could

be eliminated for good. Dr. Omura has made a remarkable

discovery. He's found a novel technique which greatly increases

our ability to clear up recurring infections both viral and

bacterial. And perhaps more exciting, he's discovered an

inexpensive, easy way to remove (or chelate) toxic metals from

the nervous system and body tissue - one that anybody can use.



This is Great News for Amalgam Sufferers

Chelation therapy using chemicals like EDTA has long been used to

help remove these heavy metals, but cilantro is the only natural

substance I'm aware of that has demonstrated this ability. This

will become news for people suffering from the ill effect of

amalgam dental fillings, which contain approximately 50% mercury.



Dr. Omura recently performed another study in which 3 amalgam

fillings were removed from and individual using all of the

precautions available to prevent absorption of the mercury from

the amalgam. Even with strong air and water suction, water

rinses, and a rubber dental dam, significant amounts of mercury

were later found in the individual's lungs, kidneys, endocrine

organs, liver and heart. There was no mercury in these tissues

prior to the Amalgam removal.



Remarkably, without the help of any chelation agents, cilantro

was able to remove the mercury in 2-3 weeks. Since some of the

patients didn't like the taste of fresh cilantro, Dr. Omura had a

pharmaceutical company create a 100 mg. cilantro tablet. In the

above dental study, one tablet was taken 4 times/day. AS of yet,

I haven't been able to find a tested commercial tablet of

cilantro.

It is believed that the active component in cilantro are easily

destroyed during processing. For this reason, I recommend

sticking to fresh herb. It can be eaten raw in soup or salad, on

tacos, or as a garnish with practically any dish.



Recipe for Cilantro Pesto

I would think it should also work if the cilantro were juiced,

but perhaps the easiest and tastiest way to use the herb would be

as the main ingredient in a homemade pesto sauce. You can start

with the basic recipe below and add other nuts and spices to

suite your taste.



1 clove of garlic

1/2 cup almonds, cashews or other nuts

1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

6 Tbsp. olive oil

Put the cilantro in blender and process until the cilantro is

chopped. Add the rest of the ingredients and process to a lumpy

paste. (You may need to add a touch of hot water and scrape the

sides of the blender.) You can change the consistency by

altering the amount of olive oil and lemon juice, but keep the

3:1 ratio of oil to juice. (It freezes well, so you can make

several batches at once.)



In light of ever-worsening quality of our water and soil and the

widespread use of metals in everyday items like deodorant nd

cans, I would seriously suspect that all of us have some toxic

metals in our body. And unless they are carried out by a

chelating agent, things like lead, aluminum and mercury remain in

the body forever. This is associated with arthitic conditions,

depression, muscle pain and weakness, memory loss and

deterioration, and maybe even Alzheimer's disease.
