Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 hi, heres some more info on cilantro from http://www.fabulousfoods.com/school/csingred/cilantro.html "The Medicinal Side of Cilantro By Lucinda Jenkins According to the interesting studies by Dr Yoshiaki Omura, made public in June of 1998 , and discovered almost by accident, leaves of the coriander plant can accelerate the excretion of mercury, lead and aluminum from the body. While he was testing for those metals, Dr. Omura noticed the mercury level in the urine increased after one consumed a healthy serving of Vietnamese soup. The soup has alot of Chinese parsley or cilantro. He continued along this line of testing and found that eating cilantro also increased the amount of lead and aluminun in the urine meaning it was drawing the deposited metals out of the body. He also found that organisms seemed to hide and flourish in area of the body where there were concentrations of heavy metals like mercury, lead and aluminum. Somehow the organisms were able to use the toxic metals to protect themselves from the antibiotics. Cilantro tea is also know to settle an upset stomach and is classified as an antispasmodic and stomachic" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
