Put the cilantro and olive oil in blender (I used a food processor/jd) and process until the cilantro is chopped. Add the rest of the ingredients (I used pecans/jd) and process to a lumpy paste (You may need to add a touch of hot water and scrape the sides of the blender.)
You can change the consistency by altering the amount of olive oil and lemon juice, but keep the 3:1 ratio of oil to juice. (It freezes well, so you can make several batches at once.)

In one of his Alternatives issues last year, Dr. David Williams furnished this recipe for "poor man's chelation treatment". It's quite tasty, and does detox. I didn't have any hair analysis done just before or soon after to see specifics, but you can tell when your body is detoxing and this does put it into "detox gear": He says you can add other nuts and spices to suit your taste, and recommends eating a couple of teaspoons of cilantro pesto a day for two or three weeks, and do this once or twice a year. (Dr. Williams states on his newsletter that - I paraphrase - it's permissable to share the information, but not copy his newsletter for commercial purposes.) I quote from the newsletter:

I quote Dr. Williams: "In light of the ever-worsening quality fo our water and soil and the widespread use of metals in everyday items like deodorant and cans, I would seriously suspect that all of us have some toxic metals in our body. And unless they are carried out by a chelating agent, things like lead, aluminum, and mercury remain in the body forever. Besides increasing the risk of cancer, we know they are associated with arthritic conditions, depression, muscle pain and weakness, memory loss and deterioration, and maybe even Alzheimer's disease.... I would highly recommend that you take advantage of this "poor man's chelation treatment." I'm in the process of doing it now myself, and intend to do so at least once or twice a year from now on. All it takes is adding fresh cilantro to your everyday foods or eating a couple of teaspoons of cilantro pesto a day for two or three weeks; either will give you the dosages Dr. Omura used in his research. Judging by the prices around here, that means you'd be spending less than a dollar for two weeks of cleansing! Of course, if you really don't like cilantro, you can always spend a thousand times that much on a series of intravenous chelation treatments..." I can't cite volume, number, and date of the issue of the newsletter now because a friend has my binder of them. When I can, I will furnish same if anyone needs it.)

* This recipe is only OK for A, B and O types when cashews are not used.
