Hi Fuggles,

If you feel ok with cilantro and feel it is helping you, then you maybe ok with it. But I'd be cautious. Here are comments from Andy Cutler regarding the brain chelator Cilantro:

These comments are in relation to liquid cilantro:

Patient reports do indicate it moves mercury around. This means that if you
use it properly it can detox you, and if you use it improperly you can
really mess yourself up. Unfortunately, there is no pharmacokinetic
information on the active ingredient in cilantro (nobody even knows what it
is) so you get to guess what dose and administration schedule is both safe
and effective. There is tons of pharmacokinetic information on alpha lipoic
acid, so my suggestion is to try LA, and if you just can't use that then to
try cilantro very carefully. I am NOT saying that cilantro is ineffective.
I believe cilantro is effective. I am saying that it is unwise to take
unnecessary risks by using cilantro instead of lipoic acid if you can indeed
use LA.


So it's effective, but you can see why he's hesistant in recommending it! ALA is a wiser choice for the reasons given above.
