We look for the best organic parrot food to feed our birds. We buy safe toys and make sure our house does not expose our birds to any health hazard. But no matter what we do, our environment contains things, which can make our birds and us sick. One of these things are heavy metals. We just can’t avoid them. Therefore I am very grateful for cilantro. If eaten fresh it extracts heavy metals out of the tissues of our bodies. In a research Dr Omura found that during a treatment for chlamydia infections some bacteria were hiding in heavy metal pockets in our bodies. After the treatment was over they come out and the whole problem starts all over again. He also found out, that eating fresh cilantro carries the heavy metals out of the body and the bacteria don’t have any place to hide anymore.
Therefore every other month I make a chelation pesto, which I will share below. It is a wonderful organic parrot food and most humans like it too. You can read more about it in my book “What Happened to my Peanuts”.
And here we go:
4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine)
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium)
2 cups packed fresh coriander leaves (cilantro, Chinese parsley) (vitamin A)
2/3 cup flaxseed oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice (vitamin C)
2 tsp dulse powder
Process the coriander and flaxseed oil in a blender until the coriander is chopped. Add the garlic, nuts and seeds, dulse and lemon juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste. Store in a dark glass jar if possible. It freezes well.
