Curious if anyone has tried this?

A friend has reported good results w/ detoxing w/ cilantro + spirulina. I added in just a nice amount of cilantro to my salads. Also have read its great for detox although can cause detox reaction at first.

I've feeling awful. Increased buzzing, nausea, scalp pain, and a painful lymph node, ever since adding it in.

Do people believe this just redistributes metals and doesnt chelate them? Seems to be doing something, but maybe have to go slower.

I did not notice any reaction to cilantro. It was one of the things my LLMD at the time suggested I try because I seemed to be "highly toxic." I'm usually very sensitive to everything, so it surprised me not to notice a difference. (Usually things "for detox" make me feel aggressively like garbage.) The cilantro I took was a liquid combination with chlorella. Not sure how helpful my experience is, given your reaction, but just thought I'd contribute.

I’ve eaten it in pretty large amounts but not noticed ant adverse reaction.

Years ago i took a concentrated tincture product. No reaction to that either that i can recall. Dose was only a few drops 2-3x a day though.

I know you are super sensitive. But could it be something else that is flaring you? ( always tricky to unpack- as even when we think nothing else has changed - often something has)

It really bothers some people. It does everything with metals thats the problem with it, its not really defined to well.

I avoid it but I really really dislike the taste of it.

Its one of those rare things that some people absolutely detest snd others really like it.

To me its delicate and aromatic and delicious - really makes all the difference in mexican and indian food.

First time tying it was with a microwave rice- had cilantro and lime. I kind of liked it, but later figured out it was the lime in rice that I liked.

Then tried cilantro in salads and it just tasted out of place.

Im guessing its very high alkaline.

I had no reaction.

I tried adding fresh cilantro and parsley to my smoothies a few years ago. One time I added too much and it turned my brain to mush for about 48 hrs.. that was the only reaction really (same kinda thing happens for me w tryptophan and melatonin).

I figured I shouldn't mess around with it anymore as I wasn't sure what was going on. In addition to your question dcd about redistribution vs chelation, I had also read that the cilantro itself can have a high heavy metal content depending on the soil that it's grown in (not sure if it's a valid concern). I still eat it in normal amounts in tacos or whatever.

Anybody familiar w stink bugs? Cilantro kinda smells like stink bugs smile

So it sounds like some of us are pretty sensitive to it. I’m going to assume the cilantro is partially responsible for some of this rough recent run I’ve had

Anyone ever get scalp pain as a detox symptom? My scalp feels so sensitive and painful everywhere

Also good to hear from you potsnpans, you’ve been gone a while it seems

I also hate the taste, stink bugs is right 😂

I eat cilantro and LOVE the taste and smell. It smells intoxicating to me. I eat a lot of Mexican food.

I have used it as a substitute for parsley in RealFoodRebel’s green smoothie recipe before and never noticed any ill effects from it. I have not used cilantro in supplement form and probably won’t for the risks of metal issues. As a food, I don’t have any issues with it.

I would not use it as detox agent. I don’t use spiralina, either, as it is a blue-green algae. Those types algaes can produce biotoxins, and it’s possible to get contaminated spirulina. I have used chlorella and have less concern about it. I am using Medi Chlorella right now.

Cilantro crosses the blood brain barrier (the why of so many head symptoms) and both redistributes and chelates them. And just as with Lyme, when it redistributes you need to be removing them religiously or the are reabsorbed back into the brain and can cause major herxing. So yes, go slower ....

The best binders that I have used are Zeolite Clay, Fruit Pectin, Activated Charcoal, active bowel movements and urine output (a must!) and an is infrared sauna is extremely helpful if you have access to one.

I have several xtra bottles of Cilantro tincture if any one is interested (sorry if that wasn't allowed to post smile I was just looking at them the other day and saying what in the heck am I going to do with these now!

Cilantro is going to redistribute mercury. Buzzing and scalp pain are the usual symptoms of that happening. Don't think I'd try it without using something like OSR first.
