Cilantro Pesto to Get Rid of Mercury Poisoning

My uncle has Bioplar Disorder I, the same as I do, so there isn’t really a doubt in mind that my Bipolar Disorder is related to genetics. That fact hasn’t stopped me from reading up on other therapies or reasons that may play a role in my Bipolar Disorder. One thing that has had me concerned for some is mercury poisoning, which is caused by eating fish with mercury in it, or through mercury fillings and can cause neurological damage including dementia and psychosis.

Since I have more than a few mercury fillings as a result of my insistence as a child to use my entire allowance on candy bars, I decided to research some ways to decrease the toxicity of mercury. The idea is that mercury can get into your bloodstream and also into your brain. Often dentists will recommend that amalgam fillings be removed, but this is costly and can also release more of the toxic vapors from the mercury.

Chelation is the process of removing the toxic metals from your system and blood stream. One alternative chelation method that is reported to work is through the use of cilantro, which can be used in either a tincture or a cilantro-based pesto.

I tried the recipe below with a substitution of pine nuts. Vegans can substitute the parmesan for Parma, which was recommended on the site where I saw the recipe.

In my opinion, the Cilantro Pesto wasn’t quite as good as a Basil-based pesto, but had the added bonus of tasting good with Mexican food. I recommend using it with pasta or added a couple of tablespoons on your burritos or tacos.

Here is the recipe for Cilantro Pesto. Keep in mind that 2-3 Tablespoons a day are recommended for the cilantro chelation therapy effects to take place.
