Got a whole gallon baggie full in my fridge. Quick growing. 4 weeks. Cilantro loves hot and dry soil and can be successtion planted and harvested throughout the summer. Be sure to havest it when it's 6 to 10 inches tall as it bolts and sets seed after flowering in little beautiful white clusters similar to babies breath. Let flowers go to seed to harvest coriander or for replanting : ).
Delicious cilantro salad - 1 cup each, cherry tomatoes halved, black olives halved, chopped purple onion, cilantro leaves to taste, feta cheese crumbles, juice of 1 real lemon, tablespoon or so of extra virgin olive oil, a little salt and pepper. Toss, chill, and enjoy.
Oh, alright. Your recipe convinced me, but I'm not looking for success here. Maybe if I throw in some greens. I grow kale and lettuces. Cilantro gives me the shivers, like little children do when they 1st taste a lemon. It tastes so awful to me, like drinking perfume. But I'll try it again Jayne.
I cowrote "The Mercury Detoxification Manual" with Andy Cutler, PhD and I am an admin in a support group for metal toxic people that has more than 95,000 members. Our experience suggests that cilantro IS a chelator for mercury. Lead is a different issue. The main chelator we use for mercury, alpha lipoic acid, does not seem to touch lead, so cilantro probably doesn't either.
Chelators need to be taken on their half-life for a certain minimum number of hours or not at all! This is to keep blood levels steady and cause the metal in question to not get redistributed to some place worse than where it started out... like the brain. We do not know cilantro's half-life. As it is an herb, it is not standardized for potency. We don't know how to use it to detox metals so we tell people to avoid it.
Some of the worst stories we hear in our group are from people who tried to use cilantro to detox metals by juicing it or putting it in smoothies. On the lower end of the spectrum, some of the more sensitive people react badly to coming across it even as an ingredient in food.
I cook a lot of Indian food and cilantro is a really important ingredient. Not being able to use it is tragic! I do use a bit of it sometimes, but I caution people to pay attention to how it makes you feel and certainly don't juice it or put it in smoothies! It is very powerful stuff!
Great article! The anti-anxiety effects of Cilantro explain my former addiction to buying burritos from a particular shop in San Francisco. (They used Cilantro.) I knew I was getting positive mental effects from eating their burritos, but had no idea why. I feel a whole lot less silly now!
You have to be careful with coriander, especially if you have amalgam fillings in your teeth. Coriander is indeed a heavy metal chelator, but it is not able to retain and therefore is not able to remove heavy metals from the body. The situation can be even worse because it causes redistribution, mercury does not remain in the intercellular space, but in the worst case it can enter the cell and destroy it. I think everyone is loaded with heavy metals due to environmental pollution, water, chemtrails and food.
Andy Cutler's oral chelation heavy metal elimination protocol (ACC) is the safest because the doses are measurable.
The NAC, chlorella, coriander, nanozeolite, humic/fulvic acid, etc. based "elimination" protocols mostly unfortunately only push you deeper into the heavy metal pit because they stir up and cause redistribution.
Right in my wheelhouse! I am spending the year at https://rodaleinstitute.org/education/ in the beginner farmer program and pushing into the Regenerative Ag movement (upgrading Organic standards). 10 of us fully immersed and cilantro is being pulled every week. Big moves coming re Flax for Linen textiles, helps to regulate EMF's. Ancient to modern re food, clothes, edu, skills is a great theme, prescient! Thank you.

DEFINITELY is a mercury chelator.
A friend's son who is diabetic, was going blind and who nearly lost his eyes due to botched surgery takes cilantro.
He is doing much better.
Good stuff.

It is best to use OSR and ALA.
See Unbekoming’s article on Zeolite today (Aug 2).
What is OSR or ALA?
Andy Cutler's oral chelation heavy metal elimination protocol (ACC) is the safest because the doses are measurable.

Where can I read more from Andy Cutler?

Cutler has a book and a Facebook group on this topic.
Thanks!
It’s in Hungarian.
There is an English-language Facebook group, they can definitely help you there.
