A Natural Heavy Metal Detox: Cilantro & Chlorella

Natural Chelation Therapy

Every day we are being bombarded with toxins from our environment.  From the building material in our homes (formaldehyde, asbestos, lead paint), the toxins in our air supply (Aldrin, chlordane, dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT), dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, mirex, toxaphene, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, furans, cadmium, mercury and aluminum (just to name a few) and, of course, pesticides used on our food.  There's also nanoparticles, known as magnetite particles, that come from car exhausts, or any burning fuel, that releases into our environment.  Scientists have found that these heavy metals and nanoparticles are embedding themselves in our brain tissue.  All of these toxins are directly related to Alzheimer's and other deteriorating health issues. We are literally breathing in toxins every day and do not even realize it. So we have to stay on top of this, for our health and well-being.  There are several ways to detox your body.  It's very important to cleanse ourselves from the inside out, so this is where cilantro and chlorella come into play. 

Cilantro and chlorella are natural chelating agents.  If you go to the doctor, they will prescribe a pharmaceutical that is common for chelating lead and arsenic poisoning, but these have serious side effects. Cilantro and chlorella together bind to heavy metal toxin ions, removing them from your system via bodily excretions. Eating cilantro alone isn't enough.  Cilantro binds to the heavy metal ions, but it's the chlorella that carry's it out of the body.  Without the chlorella the metals bound to cilantro will just sit there in your body, creating more heavy metal side effects (moodiness, irritability, depression). Chlorella, an intestinal absorbing agent, prohibits retoxification!  In fact, clinical studies recently proved that chlorella and cilantro together can naturally remove up 87% of lead, 91% of mercury and 74% of aluminum from the body within 42 days if taken correctly. This is great news!
