@gardeningjunkie-you say(said)"Because of this site we have read that cilantro works as a heavy metal detox ". I have posted on this blog but my posts didn't appear until much later. Here's my point, big or nothing at all: Everyone here in the 'Cilantro Club' has been experiencing results, mostly good, or even mildly good, which as a sufferer from GD is a god send. I'm one too. I'm writing this during the CoVid-19 Lockdown so access to fruits, Veg's etc. is not always easy. On to my query: Has anyone here ever thought that maybe, just maybe, the 'cause' of their GD could be related to a heavy metal presence in their body/blood? And maybe, just maybe since Cilantro is known to help remove toxic heavy metals, that is the reason for the vast improvements people are experiencing? I had a Total Knee Replacement done in 2018, and in 2019 I developed a rash at the site of the operated knee. Recently I opted to have a metal sensitivity test done and found that my Aluminum level was way high, over the High level even. To-date there is no explanation as to how and why. BUT in Jan. 2020 I started a new rash, thinking it was related to the other, but it turned out to be (via Biopsy) Grover's. I still don't know how my Alum. level came to be so high so I am about to 'gasp' try the Cilantro route and if it works and IF my Alum. levels also decline, then there could be a definite co-relation between GD & Heavy Metals. Just sayin'. My GD is restrictive, and intereferes with my daily life and activities, sleep especially as I now am lucky to get 3-4 hours of sleep a night. Itch/Scratch etc.

Lots of info about GD tied to heavy metals, Google it. You have limited options because of implant but it sure couldn't hurt you to try the cilantro. My only negative side effect after consuming 1/2 large bunch daily for 9 months was some darkening of pigment spots on my cheeks. Reading on the internet this can happen when consuming too much cilantro. I gave it up at that time because I thought I was getting another GD recurrence so why take it , but turned out my rash was a reaction to the Shingrex vaccine. Once this reaction cleared up in about 2 months I didn't go back on cilantro. Still in remission and am gardening about 5 hours a day right now, but temps have been comfortable so not sweating yet. I'm realistic, I know it will return someday but it's been a year now.
