cilantro pesto

[Guest guest]

Dear Cindy,

Well done Cindy on growing and using your own Cilantro!!!

I did not change my diet but made sure that I was

not eating anything like coffee or tea or meat.

I basically eat a pretty well Organic vege and fruit

diet.

I MAY have had some chocolate whilst doing it (grin)

but do not rec. that.

I did not eat much dairy during the time.

Basically I used to put it on Ryvita Crackers

and eat it.

Here is part of the original posting on Dr. Omura's

work (the rest should be in the files).....I took two TABLESPOONSFUL per

day - way too much and had a side effect of boils on the bum so I would

follow the advice to take TWO TEASPOONFULLS per day as the following article

says....Love Penny

Recipe for Cilantro Pesto (Make That

"Chelation Pesto")

I would think it should also work if

the cilantro were juiced, but perhaps the easiest and tastiest way to use

the herb would be as the main ingredient in a home made pesto sauce. You

can start with the basic recipe below and add other nuts and spices to

suite your taste.

Cilantro Pesto

1 clove of garlic

1/2 cup of almonds, cashews, or other

nuts

1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves

2 tablespoons lemon juice

6 tablespoons olive oil

Put the cilantro and olive oil in blender

and process until the cilantro is chopped. Add the rest of the ingredients

and process to a lumpy past. (You may need to add a touch of hot water

and scrape the sides of the blender.) You can change the consistency by

altering the amount of olive oil and lemon juice, but keep the 3:1 ratio

of oil to juice. (If freezes well, so you can make several batches at once.)

In light of the ever-worsening quality

of our water and soil and the widespread use of metals in everyday items

like deodorant and cans, I would seriously suspect that all of us have

some toxic metals in our body. And unless they are carried out by a chelating

agent, things like lead, aluminum and mercury remain in the body forever.

Besides associated with arthritic condition, depression, muscle pain and

weakness, memory loss and deterioration, and maybe even Alzheimer's disease.

Summer's here and cilantro is readily

available across the country. It is very popular herb in Mexican cooking,

and due to their large Mexican populations is easy to find anywhere from

Texas to California. In other areas, you may need to visit an Oriental

market or specialty supermarket, (Remember, it's also called Chinese parsley.)

I"All it takes is adding

fresh cilantro to your everyday foods or eating a couple teaspoons

of

cilantro pesto a day for two or three weeks; either will give the dose

Dr. Omura used in his research. Judging by the price around here, that

means you'd be spending less than a dollar for two weeks of cleansing!"
