lead poisoning


i finally found out what caused me to have epilepsy. ive been obsessed with finding out how this happened for years, and ive finally stumbled upon the answer. as a child i lived near ( less than 2 blocks away ) a paint factory. i was born in ' 78, the year after lead paint was banned. however lead stays in the soil and my family grew a garden and we ate from it. also my father would cart me around wherever he went, which was usually junk yards ( exposure there too from old batteries and radiators) . when i was 7 and we moved dad renovated the house, while i was there tearing down walls and such. anyway i suspected it may be lead poisoning so i went out to get my lead level checked and for not being exposed in 20 years its still pretty high a 4 so docs say that lead poisoning is a good bet on what caused the epilepsy to begin with.

lead poisoning


the level of 4 is in the bone so the cheleaton (simple partial?) therapy wouldnt greatly reduce the level if at all. plus once neurological damage is done with lead poisoning the chances of reversing it are slim to none... at least that is what ive been told by the doctors and everything ive found online... thats why lead usage has been brought to such low levels in the U.S.A. its effects at high exposure can be devestating and untreatable. ive seen some people on here mentioning that they use herbs for treatment of their seizures and other medical uses, when i was researching lead content items, it mentioned that many herbs bought overseas, mainly in India contain lead. so just a warning and you might want to check your labels and manufactures.
