does anyone know of anything i can use to detox my body of the heavy metals it may be harboring from my S.A.D. days? i ate quite lot of well...you know, possible mercury containing things...don`t want to break any rules here so i won`t say it. i know cilantro is really good for this and i have a pesto recipe but i thought maybe there`s a tincture or something.

I'm also curious, I visited a holistic nutritionist when I was 15 and she said that I needed to detox heavy metals from my body (although I can't remember why...).

Cilantro in smoothies, too, is nice. I did them every day for a while with bananas, flax, and coconut water... until I got bored. angry smiley

I have read that spirulina and chlorella detox the heavy metals from the body. I have thought about consuming them. My mothermade a lot of funky tuna casserole when I was a kid. No telling what kind of nonsense I have unwittingly consumed over the years.

I'll add one more way to detox Heavy Metals....Pascalite Clay.
It has the best 'pulling power' of any I have found. Take 1 tsp.
in water, with Psyllium Husks, twice a day, on an empty stomach.....WY

I wonder if sweating like in a steam bath would get heavy stuff out ?

I discovered these foot patches designed to detox your whole body, you wear them at night. I think they draw out all toxins and metals.

I've also read that Infra-red saunas are very effective.

Check out www.verseo.com (not a plug, I am saving up to buy some).

remineralizing

There are lots of minerals in fresh raw natural fruits and vegetables and especially in leafy greens.

You can get the suppsitories here:

[www.detoxamin.ca]

For DMSA, I have been given DMSA Synergy by designs for health. Google it and serach for the best price.

A good protocal is to do the suppository on Sunday night and then monday through thursday take one DMSA tablet every four hours.

I am also trying to do heavy metal detox using cilanro. I just LOVE cilantro smoothies. I had taken antacid (very powerful and strong dosage) for 20+ years. Basically ever since I was a 15 or so. I need serious heavy metal detox. I am trying to use cilantro almost every day, ad I heard that it helpssmiling smiley I have no way of knowing though whether the heavy metal detox is happening and if so, how well...

Take care
A Iyer
