I would not use cilantro until you have detoxed for a few months and are feeling better. Cilantro moves mercury from "deep" stores, like ligaments and cartilage into "shallower" stores, and in the process, some mercury will be released into the blood which you will feel as mercury symptoms.

This deep detox (cilantro) I would not use until later in the detox process, that is, after the shallower stores have been lightened considerably, which can take several months.

Hope this helps.

I wish I knew this one earlier last year when I tried it for two weeks! I tried Cilantro and it was not really scary to me as I took Chlorella with it and had few side effects. I knew it was coming out no doubt because I was grinding teeth and felt like my brain was spitting out sludge (I can't explain it, we all know the feeling) but never felt any anxiety or scared at all from it. I know now you should not use it first or before you detox your body from Mercury, too late for that now. I hope I did not do any damage that was permanent, I don't feel much different and only did it for two weeks so hopefully not. I will go more of the Selenium, Zinc and mineral route to displace or inactivate Mercury in the body, I don't want to do a ALA or Cilantro treatment like others did because I fear the damage it could do to you Russ. I felt weird off the Algin and stomach felt horrible as hell today, I know it's not dangerous or anything but seriously the way I felt the last few days I had to give it up for a few it seems. Chlorella though, tolerated it VERY WELL for years with no side effects, you did as well right? I can use that, no problems there at all. Will it stir up alot of Mercury? I hope not, if so years of that probably messed me up bad, but I didn't feel any side effects off using it alone.


In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
