About the cilantro, that's what I thought too until I tried it myself. My concentration, memory and mental awareness in general have improved tremendously. And I was severely poisoned.

Congrats on feeling great after your bowel movement! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Here's some info from the fiber study. It says less than 30% of the bound heavy metals are released due to fermentation, so there's still lots bound and excreted <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I've found it has helped greatly with lowering the feeling of toxicity. Just remember to take a mineral supplement apart from the high fiber bran. The wheat bran has become a part of my detox programme. Best of luck.

Water-soluble dietary fiber (WSDF), water-insoluble dietary fiber (WIDF) from wheat bran, and
the carboxymethylated product of WIDF (CIDF), all having low contents of protein, ash, and phytic
acid, were evaluated for their scavenging capacity for three heavy metals, Hg, Cd, and Pb. The
results showed that WIDF had higher BCmax (maximum amount of bound heavy metal ions) and
BCmin values (minimum concentration of heavy metal ions below which the ions cannot be bound
by dietary fibers) than WSDF at two pH conditions (pH 2.0 and 7.0). Carboxymethylation of WIDF
improved its binding capacity for heavy metals (increase in BCmax and decrease in BCmin). The pH
value significantly affected the binding capacity for heavy metals; BCmax sharply increased and
BCmin sharply decreased for each heavy metal ion for all of the dietary fibers when the pH was
raised from 2.0 to 7.0. The binding capacity of dietary fibers for heavy metals was slightly affected
by amino acids, calcium, iron, and zinc but significantly affected by copper. Colon fermentation
released part of the heavy metal ions from dietary fibers. From the results it can be concluded that
dietary fibers from wheat bran can effectively bind all three tested metal ions to prevent the body
from being affected by their toxicity.

Conclusion. Water-soluble dietary fiber and waterinsoluble
dietary fiber from wheat bran can bind large
amounts of Hg, Cd, and Pb and decrease the concentration
of these metal ions in the ambient solution to such
an extent that they would not cause damage to the
human body under pH conditions similar to those of the
small intestine. This was not the case under pH conditions
similar to those of the stomach. WIDF showed a
higher binding capacity for heavy metal ions than
WSDF, and the capacity can be further increased by
carboxymethylation. However, WSDF had a higher
affinity for all three metal ions than WIDF. Heavy metal
scavenging capacities of dietary fibers were slightly
affected by Ca, Fe, Zn, and casein hydrolysate and
extensively affected by copper. Colon fermentation can
release >30% of bound heavy metals from dietary fiber.
It is not absolutely safe to use dietary fiber from wheat
bran as a heavy metal scavenger.
