CHELATION PESTO...REMOVING HEAVY METALS
This is a excellent recipe I found at a site called: Health, Wealth & Happiness,(http://www.relfe.com/index.html) and it came from Gayle. We all get toxins invading our bodies, one way we get heavy metals is through aluminum pop can, underarm deoderants, even baking soda. Also Mercury from dental fillings, cadmium from rechargeable batteries. This is a cheap way we can rid these from our system. For those who do not like cilantro, maybe this is a good reason to begin to try and like it.
