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.
Yeah we know what Cutler says about it, I have read other stuff on it as well and how good it is. I took it and only felt better, Candida went down and it did not scare me at all (For three weeks). I should have stayed on Cilantro as it did work for me it seemed and I was not freaked out at all like Sulfur things that made me worse and yeast worse.

ALA might be great for some and it's proven for some as Cutler says, but what about the others? What if they don't tolerate Sulfur at all? Then that might be the better route. Think for a second about those things JK.

I read Parsley and Cilantro etc., both of those can do well for you. Have you ever tried it or just went by what Cutler says when he says we don't know how it really works?

I see what you are saying all in all, but seriously if it works well for Stuart and me when I took it then it must do some great things. Nobody knows how to correctly use it though nor is there a book written on it, I can see being toxic why that concerns you.

If they can study it and find out just how to use it safely I feel it is the safest and best route to go, until then it's purely speculation and HOW YOU FEEL!

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.
