Cilantro - A Very Powerful Chelator



Chelation is from the Greek word χηλή, chelè, meaning, to claw. In the case of accumulated heavy metals in the body, the goal of chelation is to create a biochemical reaction between the chelating agent and the lead, mercury, and other unwanted heavy metals for the purpose of removing them from the body.

Needless to say, chelation, both intravenous and oral, is not without its risks, or its controversy. The fact that there are pros and cons to both therapies may be the reason why so many are turning to natural methods of chelation, such as the commonly eaten herb, Cilantro.

Cilantro, or Chinese parsley as it is sometimes called is actually coriander. The leaves and stems, eaten fresh are an excellent chelating agent. In fact it is such a good chelator, it should be used with a fair amount of caution. Stirring up lead and mercury in one's system without a plan to assist with ensuring removal from the body can be harmful. Another concern is what happens after a bout of chelation related to parasites and Candida Clbicanas. It is highly advisable to rid the body of parasites and yeast first, then go after the accumulations of heavy metals. A naturopathic doctor is the best person to give advice. If you suspect you have high metal toxicity, then chelate under the supervision of a medical professional.

Pregnant women may elect to avoid cilantro to ensure safety of the unborn baby which does not have a blood brain barrier to protect it from lead and other metals made mobile by cilantro.

The best advice is to take it slow. Toxic accumulations did not happen overnight. And nor should chelation. Cilantro is a powerful herb.
