Nancy,

here is a recipe for chelation pesto from Dr. David G. Williams, DC. Cilantro is

known to help with the removal of heavy metals. Please ask your naturopath if he

thinks it would be helpful. Best wishes.

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. 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 would highly

recommend that you take advantage of this " poor man's chelation treatment " . I'm

in the process of doing it now my self and intend to do so at least once or

twice a year from now on. 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! Of course, if you really don't like cilantro, you can always spend

a thousands times that much on a series of intravenous chelation treatments...

PS: Here is another variation

 

CORIANDER CHELATION PESTO

4 cloves garlic

1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium)

1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine)

1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium)

2 cups packed fresh coriander (cilantro, Chinese

parsley) (vitamin A)

2/3 cup flaxseed oil

4 tablespoons lemon juice (vitamin C)

2 tsp dulse powder

Sea salt to taste

Process the coriander and flaxseed oil in a blender

until the coriander is chopped. Add the garlic, nuts and

seeds, dulse and lemon juice and mix until the mixture

is finely blended into a paste. Add a pinch to sea salt

to taste and blend again. Store in dark glass jars if

possible. It freezes well, so purchase coriander in

season and fill enough jars to last through the year.

Coriander has been proven to chelate toxic metals from

our bodies in a relatively short period of time.

Combined with the benefits of the other ingredients,

this recipe is a powerful tissue cleanser. Two teaspoons

of this pesto daily for three weeks is purportedly

enough to increase the urinary excretion of mercury,

lead and aluminum, thus effectively removing these toxic

metals from our bodies. We can consider doing this

cleanse for three weeks at least once a year. The pesto

is delicious on toast, baked potatoes, and pasta.
