My suggestion to Janis would be to look closely into the claims of Y. Omura, MD, that simple cilantro effectively chelates metals from the body. He has made no specific claims r.e. agyria, so far as I know, but claims cilantro scavenges mercury very effectively. I made this recommendation to R. Jacobs, who said she might look into it. I think it is worth a try, and seems to be perfectly safe, as cilantro is a common herb used daily in Asia.
