Cilantro Removes Heavy Metals From Your Body in 3 weeks... MayBe?

I'm not doing a reverse of anything, just posting articals I find on the subject.
I guess 3 weeks, is 21 days (not 15) unless it's a workweek.
"Dr. Omura was able to detoxify his patients of heavy metals in 3 weeks! Best of all, their infections then cleared up permanently."
If there is more to this, and it is not as simple as I am hearing, then sorry folks, I am just learing about this subject and have no direct experence in this subject...

Cilantro Removes Heavy Metals From Your Body

We are all exposed to heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and aluminum through the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the medical treatments we undergo. These heavy metals have long range toxic effects in our bodies that can weaken our immune systems, produce neurological disturbances and effect our brain, cardiovascular system and sexual organs. Fortunately nature has provided us with an inexpensive and delicious way to rid ourselves of these heavy metals that is available right in the produce section or farmer’s market where you shop!

I’ve long been aware of the toxicity of the world we live in. Like many of you, in order to minimize my exposure to toxic compounds, I eat organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible, drink filtered water, and even do cleansing fasts a couple of times a year. Recently however, when being physically scanned at the airport by a metal detector, I was shocked to hear the beeper going off when it scanned my kidneys! Interestingly, the security agent told me that this was a common occurrence with many people.

This launched me on a search for the best way to clear heavy metals out of my body. I’ve read about good results from chelation therapy, but it is expensive and time consuming because you have to be hooked up to an I.V. for an hour or more for each of 10-20 visits depending on what the doctor recommends. There had to be something easier for me!

I had heard that cilantro, the leaves of the herb, coriander, was reputed to remove mercury from the body. With some research, I learned that Dr. Yoshiaki Omura of The Heart Research Foundation in New York discovered that his patients, who suffered from recurrent infections, had deposits of heavy metals in their organs that were diseased. While testing the urine of one of his patients, who had recently eaten a Vietnamese soup made with large amounts of cilantro, he found increased concentrations of mercury that was excreted in the urine. Further testing showed him that along with mercury, cilantro accelerated the excretion of lead and aluminum. Using only cilantro leaves, Dr. Omura was able to detoxify his patients of heavy metals in 3 weeks! Best of all, their infections then cleared up permanently.

Cilantro is best eaten fresh, as the dried leaves don’t retain all of their healthful properties. The recommended “dose” is 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro leaves and stems per day for 3 weeks. Personally, I find it easy to eat up to 1/2 cup a day by simply adding the fresh leaves to my daily salad. When preparing cilantro, you’ll find that you can remove the large stems, but the small ones are easy to eat. I take a bunch of cilantro and holding the stems in my left hand, I begin chopping the leaves from the tips until I get to the large stems near my hand. I discard those stems in my compost and finish chopping up the leaves and small stems to a consistent size.

If you love to cook like I do, you’ll find many ways to include cilantro in your dishes since cilantro is such a great culinary herb. My favorite recipes that use lots of cilantro include fresh salsa, cilantro pesto (simply substitute it for the basil in your favorite pesto recipe), guacamole, and green salad dressings that I make in the blender. Also, you can use cilantro in fajitas, bean dishes, curries and of course, soup!

If you would like to learn more about the toxic effects of heavy metals, here are some interesting facts I found reading scientific studies and government reports:

Since the 1980’s, many steps have been taken to control lead in the environment, such as removing it from paint, gasoline and cans. The toxic effects of lead, especially on the development of fetuses and young children, are well documented. However, our soil is still contaminated with lead that then becomes part of the food grown in that soil. Even your water may contain unsafe quantities of lead if you live in a home with old pipes. Although you may drink filtered water, your body absorbs unfiltered water in baths and showers.

Aluminum is considered more inert, but high levels of aluminum are found in the brains of Alzheimer patients and people with other types of neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease. Aluminum is used in personal care items like deodorants, over-the-counter drugs like anti-acids, and cookware and foil where aluminum can leach into food you eat. Highly acidic sodas packaged in aluminum cans are also primary sources of aluminum. Increasing levels of aluminum in the brain is associated with protein cross-linking that accelerates aging and ultimately death!

Exposure to potentially toxic levels of mercury is still particularly widespread. Coal burning utilities emit over 40 tons of mercury annually in the USA and the large predatory fish we eat like tuna and swordfish may contain concentrated levels of mercury that has made its way up the food chain. Mercury is part of preservatives used in vaccines and dental Amalgams contain mercury that can leach slowly into the body over time or rapidly during removal of the fillings. Dr. Omura studied the removal of Amalgam fillings and found that even with all the precautions careful dentists employ, mercury was still released in large quantities into the body during their removal.

A metal detector hasn’t scanned me since doing my 3-week cilantro intensive. However, I’m confident that the cilantro did its job and I had a most pleasant time finding new ways to have fun eating cilantro! Keep fresh cilantro in your salad greens and you’ll be pleasantly protected from heavy metals the rest of your life!
