I do know a bit about lead detox though, picked up along the way. I've been reading autism treatment for about a year, and also have been doing mercury detox ( " chelation " ) on myself. I'll post some URLs for that list for you-- esp check out the one called ANDY_INDEX -- look for items under " other metals " about lead. I don't remember how much is in there about that, but it is worth a look. DMSA will remove lead from the body. HOWEVER you should NOT use DMSA if you have amalgam fillings (you have to get them replaced first). Also, it is very important to use the right schedule for taking DMSA. The URLs I'm listing are a good starting point. I am not sure if I know what you refer to about your health problems from " the plant " . I have skin allergies which occur when I touch plants at times. I am told that mercury poisoning has a know effect of hypersensitivity in this way--- that is, contact sensitivity. But I don't know if that's what you meant. Finally, please consider that you may be mercury toxic as well as lead toxic. Many doctors do not know how to test for mercury, and it is NOT exactly the easiest thing to figure out! best, Moria For anyone who would like to pass on URLs to the autism treatment list, here are some URLs to pass along. Please post or forward to anyone you wish. The autism treatment list is an email list for parents of children with ASD and related conditions. It is about the connections between mercury poisoning, autism, and vaccines. Dozens of parents on the list are working to detoxify their children from mercury posioning, most with great results. How to do mercury detoxification ( " chelation " ) is discussed on the list in great detail. The list has over 1000 members, and currently runs between 1000 and 2000 messages a month. The material at the following URLs can be read without " joining " the group. This is a great resource for anyone interested in mercury poisoning and detoxification. This is the main page for the autism treatment list. From here, click on " messages " to get to a list of the latest messages. You can also " join " the list from this page. /files/Mercury-Autism%20FA Q Frequently Asked Questions file. Covers some basics about autism and mercury poisoning, determining whether a child (or adult) is toxic, and the process of mercury detoxification. /files/LOVE_LETTERS This file is a list of links. Each of the links goes to a post on the list which includes a " progress report " . Many of these posts are very inspiring. Together, these posts are quite a large collection of material on the results of chelation. /files/ANDY_INDEX An index to some informative posts written by Andy Cutler. Andy is something like a local expert on the list. The information indexed includes mercury poisoning, determining whether a child (or adult) is toxic, and the process of mercury detoxification.

Tried ANDY_INDEX ....no luck but thank you anyway. ) > >DMSA will remove lead from the body Good idea, I will look into that, and I dont have any cavities/fillings ect. All I have is teeth in my mouth!! lol However, I don't necessarily think the lead is still in me, I just think it did damage that made me more sensitive than most and want to know if anyone had any info on this as all I could find on the net was children and how it affects the at the time and after-effects that don't apply to me. >I am not sure if I know what you refer to about your health >problems from " the plant " .

It is about the connections between mercury poisoning, >autism, and vaccines. Yes, I am familiar with the effects of vaccines (interesting) and autism. I even heard the secratary of health admit there would be a certain amount of people who would become ill if all of us in the US were forced to take a vaccine, though none of the companies want to admitt to an autism/vaccine connection. $ you know. ( I know many who are dealing with the effects of being sensitive to mercury and having it in thier system. They are having a rough time and I will give them the URL's when I see them. Thank you again for the info. God Bless, Hazelpone is KJ PS I will check again as it was a year ago and there is so much more info on many different topics today than there was even then. I will let the group know if I find anything useful. Thanks again. .. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, reading this note I also thought of the book " Turning Lead into Gold " . About autistic (or other? not sure) lead poisoned kids who recovered. I haven't read it, have heard it is great-- just ordered it. Anyway, this is probably more of what you say you found--- stuff about kids that you find does not apply to you > I work in a car factory and am exposed to metal working fluids and metal > dust and it reaks havoc on my body. That sounds serious. I would want a hair test if I were you. I wonder if you should treat it differently due to on-going exposure. I would think your employer should be seriously studying the whole thing and passing on useful info. (Notice I said " should " --- I realize this may have no reality.) Mercury poisoning will make you more sensitve to lots of things, (!!) including that it seems to make people sometimes retain OTHER metals. (great huh?) (By the way, if you get a hair test DO NOT trust the mercury number.) > Yes, I am familiar with the effects of vaccines (interesting) and autism. I > even heard the secratary of health admit there would be a certain amount of > people who would become ill if all of us in the US were forced to take a > vaccine, though none of the companies want to admitt to an autism/vaccine > connection. $ you know. ( Yeah, vaccines seem to be the " biggie " -- although there are other ways kids get poisoned-- such as mercury passed on in gestation or breast milk. > I know many who are dealing with the effects of being sensitive to mercury > and having it in thier system.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Hi Moria, " That sounds serious. I would want a hair test if I were you. I wonder if you should treat it differently due to on-going exposure. I would think your employer should be seriously studying the whole thing and passing on useful info. (Notice I said " should " --- I realize this may have no reality.) " You know what? My employer (big name) knows and has doctors who play retarded. They act like they don't know even though the info is on the material safety data sheet. So I have to go to Comp. It is a real ordeal. I had a hair test done, I don't think it was bad in terms of mercury. But it didn't matter. From what I see, my body heals when I leave the plant and gets sick when I go in. So I know what the cause is, they just make it so difficult for you to get out without having to lose everything. I will let everyone know how it goes.

By the way people who are mercury toxic OFTEN have a normal reading for mercury on hair tests. (The mercury is hidden elsewhere, doing its damage.) See the counting rules in the FILES on autism treatment list. Good luck with the job problem. best, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 You can get lead test kits at most hardware stores and test things yourself. If the individual attends school or preschool in a public school, find out the testing results of the water fountains. About 5 years ago nearly all the Seattle school system fountains were found to have high lead levels. At home, check your bathtub, plumbing pipes, paint, and soil (fallout from leaded gasoline). See www.danasview.net/metals for more sources of exposure.
