Cilantro, an herb to chelate heavy metals? Truth or fiction?

Question

Separating truth from fiction, root from leaf. Is it possible for cilantro (Chinese parsley or whatever other derivatives are used for the word cilantro) to detox heavy metals from your body?

I've heard that cilantro and chollera(sp) will provide doubly good chelation than either of the two alone; which is to say, more money for the cholllera (if it is cheap, than I stand corrected).

Any ideas? I'm off to the supermarket with this one! Don't hold your breath for any results.

Answer 1

Quackwatch.org has an excellent article on chelation. You'll probably find the answer to your question and many more there.

This is the second question I've answered with this link. Must be something in the water. ;)
