To successfully eliminate and eliminate heavy metals from your body, eat a quarter cup of cilantro leaves and stems a day. It is best not to exceed this amount during the first two weeks, because you risk excreting more heavy metals than the liver can effectively process and remove. Once the initial deposits are cleared, increase this amount and add foods rich in heavy metals like Turmeric.
Interesting new research, discussed in detail below, shows that cultivating cilantro daily and easily can gradually detoxify and remove heavy metals from your body through cilantro’s amazing detoxification properties. Cilantro can usually be found on the salsa bar of your local Mexican restaurant and next to parsley at your local market. Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) or Chinese parsley is a delicious addition to salads, soups, egg dishes, stir-fries, tacos and burritos. Cilantro leaves have a wonderful flavor that is hard to describe, very fresh and almost shiny. Cilantro is grown from seed and planted on a sunny windowsill or outside in your garden.
Dr. Yoshiaki Omura MD (pictured above) is also a general practitioner and cardiologist with over 50 years of experience. Dr. Yoshiaki Omura recently discovered and demonstrated that the consumption of cilantro can slowly remove heavy metals from the human body. Dr. Omura is trained in clinical medicine and experimental physics. He is the director of medical research at the New York Heart Foundation. Assistant Professor of Community and Preventive Medicine, New York College of Medicine. Dr. Omura discovered the properties of cilantro mixture in treating some patients with a type of eye infection. Dr. Omura used standard antibiotics.
Dr. Omura said that antibiotic treatment is only temporarily effective because the patient’s symptoms will clear up … but will return in a few months. Dr. Omura began to investigate the problem and found that the organism that causes the infection seems to be hiding in the part of the human body that has a high concentration of heavy metals. Organisms that cause eye infections appear to use metals to protect themselves from antibiotic treatment. Heavy metals are excreted in the urine. Dr. Omura began to test his patient’s urine.
Dr. Omura observed that the patient’s urine mercury level increased after eating a certain Vietnamese soup. After further testing, Dr. Omura identified an ingredient in the soup—a type of parsley called cilantro-vas—that was responsible for this effect. Dr. Omura conducted an additional study showing how the consumption of cilantro increased the amount of heavy metals excreted through the urine of patients. This is often referred to in medical circles as chelation. Without heavy metals for protection, the organism that caused the eye infection of Dr. Omura will not thrive again, and when Dr. Omura gave his patients cilantro and antibiotics, they finally got rid of the eye infection.
Research findings Dr. Omura published in Acupuncture and Electrotherapy Research. Acupuncture and Electro-Therapeutic Research is a quarterly publication covering acupuncture, electrotherapy and related topics. It was created in 1976 and published by Cognizant Communication Corporation. The study included patients who had three mercury-based amalgam fillings (bonds) removed. Significant amounts of mercury were found in the patient’s lungs, kidneys, liver and heart. Dr. Omura uses cilantro therapy to eliminate mercury. Within a few weeks, the mercury disappeared. In a similar study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, researchers administered cilantro via gastric intubation to male rats suffering from high levels of lead in their bodies. A sham drug, dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), was used as a control. Research studies the effects of cilantro consumption on lead poisoning. For 32 days, researchers gave rats lead in their mouths. Then they drink cilantro for 25 days (starting on the seventh day).
The bright and tangy flavor of cilantro has the ability to liven up your hair with just a little splash on top. Cilantro is the main secret ingredient in great soup sauces, it stars in spicy Thai and Vietnamese dishes, and it’s essential for good guacamole.
