Cilantro and Chlorella for Chelation of Heavy Metals

Cilantro is best used in conjunction with chlorella because it, “mobilises more toxins than it can carry out of the body, it may flood the connective tissue (where the nerves reside) with metals, that were previously stored in safer hiding places.” This can cause retoxification if another binding agent isn’t used to help rid the body of the heavy metals that are ‘found’ in their hiding places throughout the body.

People who have eaten large salads daily full of cilantro have experienced this effect – moodiness, terrible acne, joint pain and more. While they were mobilising heavy metals, they weren’t all excreted from the body fast enough, which meant they were detoxing and toxifying themselves the same time!

How to avoid retoxification?

Simply by adding chlorella – an intestinal absorbing agent, the retoxification of the system is prohibited. Clinical studies completed recently proved that heavy metal chelation using cilantro and chlorella can naturally remove an average of 87% of lead, 91% of mercury, and 74% of aluminium from the body within 42 days.

The properties of chlorella lend themselves nicely to aiding cilantro for detoxifying the body:

• Chlorella is antiviral.

• It binds to dioxins and other environmental toxins.

• It repairs the body’s detoxification functions.

• Improves glutathione – the bodies ‘master’ antioxidant.

• Binds to heavy metals exceptionally well.

• Alpha and gamma lineolic acids in chlorella help increase the intake of fish oil and other fatty acids.

• Chlorella contains the most easily absorbed form of B12 and B6.

• Chlorella is high in amino acids, and thus ideal for vegetarians.

• Chlorella is able to open cell walls, which is necessary for detox processes.

• Chlorella restores healthy gut flora.

Cilantro has its own chelation benefits:

• Highly effective metal toxin binding agent and mobiliser.

• Powerful anti-inflammatory.

• Antibacterial.

• Increases HDL cholesterol and decreases LDL.

• Prevents gas and bloating.

• Wards off urinary tract infections.

• Eases hormonal swings during menopause and menstruation.

• Can reduce nausea.

• Adds fibre to the digestive tract – an effective bulking agent.

• Fights anaemia with high levels of iron, and magnesium.

• Reduces minor swelling.

• Promotes liver health.

• Can be used as an expectorant.

As a final note, be sure your magnesium levels are high before starting any serious chelation program, since this trace mineral helps to promote ‘relaxed’ arteries and can make elimination of toxins easier on the body. Always seek the support and advise of a qualified Naturopath or Nutritionist prior any detoxification program, to ensure it is done effectively.
