Sweating detoxifies (far infrared saunas being best). Cilantro, chlorella and activated charcoal are natural chlelation agents.

  As the article points out, when pressed, advocates can rarely specify which toxins are removed, or point to studies which demonstrate effectiveness in humans. Take cilantro for example. Quoting from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3654245/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3654245/ : > (iv) Cilantro (leaves of Coriandrum sativum), a popular culinary and medicinal herb, gained attention when a soup was reported to enhance mercury excretion following dental amalgam removal and remains popular despite limited evidence [46]. In animals, it decreased lead absorption into bone and inhibition of the delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) enzyme [47]. Less encouragingly, in a recent trial in 3- to 7-year old children exposed to lead, a cilantro extract was as effective as placebo in increasing renal excretion (improvements across treatment and placebo groups were ascribed to improved diet during the intervention) [48]. See the "limited evidence" and "as effective as placebo"? The same review article points to https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jts/36/1/36_1_121/_article https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jts/36/1/36_1_121/_arti... concerning chlorella and methyl mercury. (That paper in turn cites other several animal studies for cadmium, lead, and dioxins.) If you read that paper, you'll see it was dosed at 4 mg Hg/kg body weight, which is rather acute, and measured across 6 mice. The results can't simply be extrapolated to humans. So, where is your evidence which shows that cilantro and chlorella are effective chelation agents for humans?
