• That’s pretty much what I’ve started to do now, so I guess I should just keep up the cilantro-spirulina smoothies. What is a good ratio/amount to be eating each day?

• The problem with mercury though is that it hides in cells and yes, the seaweed is good for binding to it, but to my knowledge it doesn’t really ‘coax’ it out from deeper tissues. Have you read otherwise 123? I’d be interested to hear because I’m stu…

• tdg, maybe you could find a recipe where you can’t really taste the cilantro, or just using a bit would probably be better than none. Here is a good article about what else you can do for mercury removal.

• I’m not too fond of cilantro either, but I do use it with spirulina in my green smoothies. tdg, cilantro is excellent to eat if you have had, or still have, any mercury fillings in your teeth. The cilantro will mobilize the metals from your cells, w…

• I agree with pianissima, if the hummus has canola oil in it, ditch ASAP! Thin hair is something I’ve been doing research into lately, so this is what I’ve found: You could try eating more garlic, onions, radishes, or arugula for sulfur since you can…

• I’ve heard of people using urine therapy before, but I personally don’t plan on it. I didn’t know that was part of his cleanse, so I’m going to pass on that idea. Jubb’s books look interesting, though (from what I could tell on Amazon). Has anyone h…

• Stefunk – I did the cleanse back in highschool, before I went raw. My skin slowly went back to the way it was before the cleanse, as I was eating pretty poorly back then. Later, as I cleaned up my diet my skin also improved. Now that I’m mostly raw …

• I’ve had the same problem for the past few months :-( I just finished reading David Wolfe’s book Eating for Beauty and he notes that it’s often caused by eating too much cooked fats, or even raw fats if you’ve been raw for long enough. The skin and …
