Cilantro

Cilantro works wonders when it is combines with chlorella. Cilantro is known to help mercury, lead, cadmium and aluminum mobilization in the central nervous system and the brain. This is the only supplement available, which has the capacity to mobilize mercury accumulated in the nucleus of the cell and the intercellular spaces.

Cilantro has the tendency to mobilize more than what it can carry, hence it is only able to move the mercury from one part to another part. In order to facilitate expulsion of these heavy metals it requires a binding agent, which works in synergy with cilantro. Chlorella is a great binding agent and when combined with cilantro works best in expelling toxins. Cilantro can be taken as a supplement or added to meals like salsa, salads etc
