Removing Heavy Metals from Your Body

Cilantro - also known as Coriander or Chinese parsley - has been proven to chelate toxic metals from our bodies in a relatively short period of time.

Combined with the benefits of the other ingredients, the following recipe for Cilantro Chelation Pesto is a powerful tissue cleanser. It is easy to make, and also really tasty. It's delicious on toast, baked potatoes, and pasta.

Two teaspoons of this cilantro pesto daily for three weeks is purportedly enough to increase the urinary excretion of mercury, lead, and aluminum, thus effectively removing these toxic metals from our bodies. Consider doing this cleanse for three weeks at least once a year, but more importantly, add the mixture to your normal diet.

Word of caution:
Our hollistic Dentist; Dr. Chen in La Jolla, CA informed me that you want to be careful doing any form of Chelation, because chelation cleanses all tissues in the body including the gums and teeth. If you have amalgam fillings in your mouth (silver or gold fillings), this could cause mercury to pull from the center of the filling, and go into the body as the chelation process draws it out. You want to first focus on getting the amalgams removed safely by a dentist who has the right equipment. Amalgam removal can be very dangerous otherwise. An Ozone machine is necessary, and then replacement with composite (white) fillings. Take plenty of extra vitamin C (liquid is best) to assist the body in detoxing the heavy metals out of the blood stream and away from the vital organs before, during and after dental appointment.

Cilantro Chelation Pesto:

4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup Brazil Nuts (selenium source)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine source)
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium sources)
2 cups packed fresh cilantro (coriander, Chinese parsley, Vitamin A source)
2/3 cup flaxseed oil
4 Tablespoons lemon juice (Vitamin C source)
2 tsp. Dulse powder
Braggs Liquid Aminos TM

Process the cilantro the flaxseed oil in a blender until the cilantro is chopped. Add the garlic, nuts, and seeds, dulse and lemon juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste. Add a squirt of Braggs Liquid Aminos to taste and blend again. Store in dark glass jars if possible. It freezes well, so purchase cilantro in season and fill enough jars to last through the year.

Dosage: 2 teaspoons a day (minimum of 3 weeks)

According to a different holistic dentist, Italian parsley has the same effect as cilantroin removing mercury from the body.
