At the time? It was DMSA for me. But I don't believe i was cured, rather it reduced the load and enabled my body to improve, but I had not done enough, nor had I used alpha lipoic acid to chelate the organs/brain. So highly possible I had far more mercury still in me than I was aware. But DMSA must have played a pretty big role, because I would not have improved otherwise.

I just don't think it goes further than chelating the more accessible areas. But it's good to use earlier on because it reduces the blood levels more appropriately and aids ALA in chelation also.

Cilantro I don't know about enough to give an answer.
