Quick update on my using of the Cilantro extract drops from Herb Pharm as opposed to the cilantro smoothies. I had been using the drops since 6/9 and my itchiness and the number of sores that were a brighter shade of red definitely decreased, but it was still far from being in remission. Also, I was taking chlorella about 45-60 minutes before the drops as was recommended in some articles I found about natural chelation methods. Several days ago I gave up on the whole routine out of frustration that I was not continuing to improve on my quest to achieve remission status as has @gardeningjunkie. Yesterday I had a bad outbreak of new sores on both of my "love handles", those areas on your lower back and sides where fat seems to like to accumulate. I'm a skinny guy, but I've still got 'em! LOL. So anyway, I went back on the chlorella and cilantro last night and this morning I'm noticeably better. Does all of this prove anything about cilantro? Scientifically speaking, no. It is interesting anecdotal evidence though. I guess I'm sticking with the chlorella/cilantro routine. If you do a search for "chlorella and cilantro detox protocol" you will come up with some articles on why the two work well together if you are interested.
