Re: ----Mom and Dad's hair tests----lead

Stripping paint off of wood actually is not advised because it does

not remove all the Lead. The book " Lead the Silent Hazard " explains

about this. That even though you remove the paint...some Lead stays

int he wood. They actually advised replacing painted wood rather than

stripping it.(I know they didn't know) Don't feel too bad, my mom

decided to strip all the old wood in our house when we were kids and

she used a heat gun to do it. So she literally vaporized the Lead into

the air. I am still spewing Lead out of my hair and it's 25 years later.

Homeopathic medicine does not chelate anything. Homeopathic medicine

simply allows the body to heal itself within it's own capacity to do

so. The body cannot heal itself from huge amounts of lead. Instead it

dumps what it can, and stores the rest.

She got this from redoing their house. Anytime you renovate an old

house, you stir up some serious lead dust, which is why they recommend

you have a Lead specialist contractor renovate old houses. They use

air filtration and protection and cleaning methods so you don't get

all the lead.

I am sure there is probably more Lead in their house than you think.

We found it in places no one would look. The inside of a closet, in

the basement on the steel support poles...little nooks and crannies

that don't get painted over. In the soil around the house due to the

original wood clapboards having been painted with lead paint. The

water pipes..some really old houses still have Lead mains. Go to do

some detective work...

When you visit with children, be very diligent about hand washing

before eating, don't put toys on the floor, or eat anything that fell

on the floor. Don't give baths if they have an older porcelain tub,

take showers. Don't let the kids play in any dirt in the yard. It is

always best to keep them out of the basement too.
