Dear Ruthie,

yes Cilantro is a great metal chelating foods, and has other blood cleansing proeprties, too. But to rid the body of old deposits, more drastic measures may need to be taken. I have posted this before, but here it is again:

One of the safest, fastest and most direct ways to remove noxious chemicals and metals from the body is to take a bath or two with metallic clay – most ideally, Pascalite clay (available through the internet from www.relfe.com), or any other non-polluted bentonite clay. While lying in the bathtub, apply some wetted clay to the whole head and make a facemask with it. One pound per bath is sufficient. Soak in the water for about half an hour. Let the bathwater stand for a few hours, or overnight, and then drain off the water, but keep the settled clay in the bathtub. Check for black, gold, silver-colored sediments in the clay (metals). Remove the clay.
If a full bath is impractical, take a number of foot baths instead. Soak your feet in bentonite clay for 20-30 minutes in the evenings, let the water sit over night the next day I take a good at the results the following morning. Like with the full bath, you may find that the bottom is covered with flecks of gold, silver and a whole lot of stuff that looks like black sand.
