Lead typically settles in the bones.

Can lead be removed from the brain?

Can lead be removed from the brain? And if so, how? From what I've

read, it seems DMSA is the chelator used for lead, yet DMSA doesn't

cross the blood/brain barrier.

If it settles in the bones, why does it affect the brain? Just curious. I

thought it went to the brain.

My analogy/understanding of lead & calcium... " Your body " uses

lead/calcium indiscrimately - whichever is there gets used for the

same purposes...your body is pretty much unable to tell the

difference (as I understand it), which means lead ends up being used

anywhere calcium " would be " used..used in the brain, used in bone -

could be considered " stored " in bone, just because calcium (or lead)

is used to " build " bone...and when low on calcium elsewhere,

will " pull " the calcium from bone - tho' if lead is there instead,

you will be pulling lead, for these other uses, for example,

functioning needs in the brain....

fwiw

wishing all the best answers

My understanding is that lead " leaches " . So for example, if you have

lead everywhere in your body, the DMSA will start removing it from the

lower body. Then as you " rest " between rounds, some lead from the

brain will " leach " down into the rest of the body, so there is now a

new equilibrium. Then you pull more from the lower body, and more

leaches down from the brain. Until finally you remove all of it.
