"I honestly have never heard that ALA works on these deep tissue stores."

I would assume that it does, as it is both water and fat soluble, and even crosses the blood/brain barrier. ALA is said to do a good job of removing mercury from the nervous system. Cilantro is a big unknown. While it has some chelating ability, they still haven't isolated the compound or compounds in it that chelates mercury. Perhaps once they do so, the compound can be studied and compared to ALA and other chelators. Then this compound might become available separately in a standarddized form, and a reasonable dosing schedule can be determined.
