Smoothies are helpful in getting you to take in unpleasant tasting foods that can be helpful.
On Mayo I follow a Grover's Disease, GD, site and learned about cilantro smoothies (made from fresh or frozen) being helpful in putting this chronic form of eczema into remission. Cilantro works as a heavy metal detox pulling out these metals. Mercury and other heavy metals have been linked to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Grover's Disease.
Your blood can be chelated to bind and remove the heavy metals that we collect as we age, yet that requires: medical professionals, discomfort and expense. Cilantro, about 1/2 bunch a day with stems and pieces, in a blender with your choice of ingredients like probiotic yogurt, fruit, veggies, almond milk, Stevia if sweetener is desired and or any other addition you prefer. I also like to add in collagen powder as it helps my hair and nails.
Do this for about 2-3 months daily and you will remove heavy metals.
This detox tonic has worked for almost 50% of us with GD, you can follow our blog looking into cilantro as a treatment beginning mid Feb or March in 2019. We are real people who were desperately seeking solutions for a disease that traditional eczema medicines do not help us with. GD is much like Shingles in how it feels and where it is located on the body.
Don't take my word on this. Goggle, Heavy Metal Detox. Google research tying in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Grover's Disease to heavy metals.
I don't want to give you false hope if you already have Alzheimer's or Parkinson's that it will cure you or even help slow your progress once you have it. Yet I can state emphatically that with GD, cilantro helped put me into remission and it has almost 50% of others who blog on this site and other sites like EarthClinic who have done this. I am free of GD external rashes which itch and are extremely painful to this day.
Thankyou for that valuable info, @gardening junkie. (love that handle!)
I'll definitely look into this, and the cilantro option sounds promising.
