cilantro pesto for a natural mercury detox

Almost everyone has been exposed to mercury and other heavy metals.
Just some of the sources of exposure include air pollution, nonstick cookware, cosmetics, vaccines, dental
amalgam fillings, cigarette smoke, conventional household cleaning products, and contaminated food products.

Cilantro (aka coriander or Chinese parsley) has been shown to bond with mercury and other metals and help remove them from the body. Even better effects have been shown when cilantro is used in conjunction with chlorella. 

Ingredients:

• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/3 cup Brazil nuts
• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 cups packed, fresh, organic cilantro (aka coriander, Chinese parsley)
• 2/3 cup flaxseed oil
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tsp chlorella powder or dulse powder (optional)
• High quality salt to taste (i.e. Himalayan or sea salt)

Directions:

1. Process the cilantro and flaxseed oil in a blender until the coriander is chopped. 
2. Add the garlic, nuts, seeds, dulse or chlorella powder, and lemon juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste. 
3. Add a pinch to sea salt to taste and blend again. 
4. Store in dark glass jars if possible. Keep refrigerated
5. Hint: Cilantro freezes well, so it can purchased when in season and frozen until needed.
   

Recommended usage:
