Hello! I'm new to this site. I'm still trying to navigate so I thought it would be easy to just reply to your post (not sure if others will see it here tho, I'm open to comments from others too). I've been dealing with Grovers for 10+ years, although I wasnt diagnosed until about 3 years ago. From what I have read, my condition seems pretty mild. I get my worst flare-ups in the winter. I live in Colorado which is very dry in the winter. Dryness seems to aggravate it...as well as other things. I have read about the cilantro shakes and I'm going to start trying that. I'm curious about heavy metal toxicity. If the shakes work due to the cilantro, has anyone tried more of a focused heavy metal detox instead of doing the shakes longterm? I have been on a gluten free, low sugar diet for about 8 years. Perhaps contributes to a milder case? I went completely dairy free about 6 months ago and noticed an improvement after that as well. I did just get a flare-up and so I'm exploring new options. I'm so tired of this and would love to kick it off permanently!

@gardeningjunkie do you have a good recipe for the cilantro smoothie? I would like to try this smoothie route. Thanks!
