Like many others I had a bad case of Grover's that caused sleepless nights from an itchy rash on my chest, back and trunk - that also began extending to my arms and legs. After a biopsy diagnosed Grover's, I read up on what was working and tried Cilantro.

My first two weeks of Cilantro and daily shakes with 1 bunch per shake, were dreadful; - but after a couple of months I don't even taste it any more. I am able to limit itching and have 70% of the rash gone (except chest) by taking about 1/2 bunch daily. When I need to skip shakes for work or vacation travel - I take a larger shake for the 2 days before and also for the 2 days after returning, - and symptoms remain in check. I also benefit from light occasional natural sun exposure.

My dermatologist knew Grover's well but had not heard of Cilantro. My rash he said is "classic grovers", he has many patients with it. I also fit the classic profile - '50's male,
> past high sun exposure,
> past excessive sweating sessions (cycle classes- not sauna),
> metal/ mercury exposure (very high fish intake diet in past),
> deodorant clogging pore body washes (I mixed 3 brands and used it like suntan lotion),
> X-ray exposure (travel by air with frequent security x-rays, plus MRI),
> Mold exposure (Florida Bungalow apartment),
> Vaccine chemical exposure (Shingrix, and many MNRA boosters),
> Frequent temperature swing exposure (Frequent travel to Florida and then back north).

The main commonality I am curious about is the Mercury/Metal factor, where those who go through Chelation to remove metals contract Grovers or those exposed to metal / mercury contract Grovers. The Cilantro seems to balance this out and is know for filtering properties of the system and skin (although when tested it was never proven to be a significant Chelator that removes mercury). It seems like a drug company could replicate the Cilantro properties in a capsule where this disease and those similar to it - would be eradicated and that drug company would be rich!
