Lead Poisoning Symptoms

LEAD POISONING SYMPTOMS

There are any numbers of symptoms of lead poisoning including something as simple as a headache. Lead poisoning can be a serious health concern and a potentially deadly threat. Exposure can happen over time and you may not even be aware of the exposure.

A Few Questions

ü Have you ever gotten a headache inexplicably?

ü Ever had a headache that lingers and just doesn’t seem to want to go away.

ü Do you have children that just seem irritable for no reason?

ü A nagging or recurring headache can make a person irritable, confused, nauseous and sensitive to aches and pains.

All of these can also be symptoms of a bigger problem of lead poisoning. Often you can figure the headache comes from the weather, stress of the day or even sleeping badly and waking up with a sore neck. Then there are times where a headache comes on for seemingly no reason at all. There is no warning and seems to be no reason. It could be your body trying to tell you something is wrong. These are lead poisoning symptoms!

How Lead Poisoning Works

When a foreign substance is introduced to the body by absorption or ingestion, the body attempts to process it, use it, absorb it into tissues or blood or expel it. Lead is a toxic and alien substance to the body and the intricate nervous system of the body. The bodies internal organs such as the liver and kidneys are not prepared to filter or deal with exposure to foreign substances such as lead. When lead is somehow introduced the body doesn’t know how to process it or expel it so the blood lead level increases and the lead circulated through the body.

Irritability and headache could be side effects or symptoms of lead poisoning and should not be ignored. If symptoms are recurring, there may be exposure to lead that you are unaware exists in your environment. Exposure and sometimes ingestion of lead can induce lead poisoning symptoms and it may not be an immediate reaction like an allergic reaction but an intolerance that slowly develops over time.

Chipping paint which contained lead was a serious hazard in the past. Children were ingesting the paint chipping off cribs or toys. They would get extremely ill and some faced serious and irrepairable damage. Some children were having seizures, some even slipped into comas and died after such episodes. When it was determined that the lead in the paint was the problem, regulations were put in place restricting the types of paint that could be used in toys and furniture. Who is to say that many irritable children had not some level of lead poisoning? Perhaps those children who were seemingly fussy or moody, labelled inconsolable or colicky were instead exhibiting lead poisoning symptoms.

A Few Tips For Healthy Eating

Tips for healthy eating
There are a lot of people and books and TV shows out there trying to tell people how to eat. However eating properly is just common sense. Many years ago people simply ate the food they grew and raised themselves. This is the best advice you can get today. Try to eat as closely as people died let's say 100 years ago. In fact, one of the more interesting diets out there is the '100 mile diet'.

This diet simply involves only eating food that is been grown or produced within 100 miles of your house. There are a few exceptions that are allowed when following this diet for things such as coffee. Obviously, if you live in the middle of an area with no coffee you can't get local coffee. However the thought behind the hundred mile diet is to eat fresh local produce. Not only do you get healthy food but you also support your local economy and don't end up buying a ton of stuff from China.

When was the last time at the grocery store and bought fresh garlic, apparently fresh garlic, only to read the label and see that it says product of China. This one tip for healthy eating, mainly only eating food that has been grown or raised within 100 miles of your house, will guarantee an improvement in your health and it is really easy to follow, no books to read or 'secret' plans to buy online.

Great Tasting Breakfast Shake With Hemp Oil



One of the most popular tips for healthy eating that I've come across is learning to read labels. It's shocking what they put in food these days. Things are often loaded with sugar as sugar is used as a preservative and not necessarily as a sweetener. Anything that ends in 'ose' or 'ase' such as glucose or lactase is just another form of sugar. Try to avoid these as much is possible.
Another of the famous great tips for healthy eating that I advise people to try is to eat three good meals per day. You also DO want to have a few snacks in between, make sure they're healthy snacks such as fruits or vegetables. Again this all sounds like common sense advice however most people have lost track of basic ways of eating. In the video there is a great shake that contains high quality reverse osmosis water, a few fresh fruits, a couple tablespoons of hemp seed oil, protein powder from a whey source, and a green superfood powder. If you choose to use a green superfood powder make sure you use a high quality one there are a lot of cheap counterfeit superfood powders out there. A good quality one costs about $50 or more.

This above tip for healthy eating, having the shake in the morning, will actually help you lose weight and here's how. Protein is needed by your body, fat is also needed by your body. Now here's how your body works, 'fat burns in the flame of carbohydrate', this is a common nutrition saying. What this means is that you want to have your body burning fat for energy instead of protein. Fat contains 9 cal per gram whereas carbohydrate only contains 4 cal per gram. When you eat a diet that's well-balanced with protein your body becomes a fat burner and not a carbohydrate burner. This gives you more energy, burns off your excess fat stores, and doesn't leave you craving carbohydrates which are basically pasta and sweets, carbohydrates are anything that turns into sugar in your body and are to be eaten in extremely small amounts.

Only Real Chelating Agent

Are You Poisoned?

There's a lot of talk these days about detoxing and detoxification products. All you do is watch TV for 5 min. And you'll be bombarded with commercials about the latest detox diet for detox pill. Even if you watch a show like Oprah and Dr. Oz you constantly hear about the latest detoxification therapy. There are two things that are interesting about this. The first thing I want to talk about is what exactly are you detoxing your body of.

Here is a brief video expaining how a chelating agent works.

Let's Detox

Most people start doing these so-called 'detox therapies' to cure some illness they may have. However they really have no idea what they are detoxing meaning what exactly are they trying to get out of their bodies. We all know where bombarded daily in our industrialized world by many toxins. However our body is quite good at getting rid of most toxins. This so-called getting rid of thing is what most people think of when they think of detox. The scientific term for this is called chelation. And the product or agent that gets rid of toxins is called the chelating agent. So back to the initial question, what exactly are you detoxing?

Heavy Metals, The Real Enemy
Well the only thing you should really be concerned about is toxic heavy metals. The most common two are lead and mercury. Our generation is what is known as the 'lead generation'. Meaning our parents and our grandparents were exposed to a lot of lead in their environment. According to Dr. Andy Cutler it takes four generations for lead to chelate out of the body. This means our generation needs a proper chelating agent because our bodies cannot remove lead naturally. Dr. Cutler states that the best chelating agent available is a product called DMSA. This is an acronym for dimercaptosuccinic acid. You can buy DMSA from a site called dmsachelation.com

Symptoms
Maybe now you're wondering can I be lead poisoned? There are several symptoms associated with lead poisoning such as persistent headaches, unexplained fatigue, and strangely enough high rates of tooth decay. These are just a few. A lot of the symptoms associated with fibromyalgia are actually caused lead or mercury poisoning. A good chelating agent such as DMSA will remove lead and Mercury in 6 to 9 months. However when using a chelating agent you need to follow the proper protocol you cannot just take one pill a day. There is a complex yet easy-to-follow protocol. It is scientifically proven and works with your body's natural chelation system. Your body has a natural product called glutathione which naturally chelates heavy metals however if your body burden is so high that you are symptomatic meaning you are sick your glutathione is not sufficient enough and you need a chelating agent to help. Dr. Cutler proves the only real chelating agent is DMSA. It can be purchased on the Internet or from your local pharmacist with a prescription and it is relatively inexpensive.

Final Thoughts

The next time you see a commercial for a detoxification diet listen to what they say carefully. I'm quite sure they will never mention heavy metals. They will just prattle on about getting rid of the poisons in your body. They will not mention heavy metals because their products are not approved to remove heavy metals. Only a product like DMSA has been FDA certified to remove lead and Mercury from the human body, accept nothing less.

Lead Poisoning Treatment

Ok this sounds like a weird topic, however keep reading. Many people have serious health problems and they do not know why. They see doctors who basically guess at what the problem might be. They have headaches, fatigue, irritability, memory loss and other symptoms. It might be lead poisoning. If it is you really need to find a good lead poisoning treatment.

Lead Poisoning Symptoms

Here are a few lead poisoning symptoms that I noticed in myself before I found a proper lead poisoning treatment:

• Stomach aches, cramping, constipation, or diarrhea
• Nausea, vomiting
• Persistent, unexplained fatigue
• Headache
• Muscle weakness
• Higher rates of tooth decay
• Changes in sleep patterns
• Inability to concentrate
• Memory loss

These were just a few. I also had ringing in my ears but I found out later it was due to having mercury in my body. As it turns out the lead poisoning treatment I used also gets rid of mercury. I will be adding more details to this soon, have to get to work now (boo!)

Okay I came back to add some more information about lead poisoning symptoms and how to treat lead poisoning. First let me explain a little bit how your body gets things such as lead out of your body this process is called chelation and it requires a chelating agent. The chelating agent that most use is called DMSA.  This is a compound or chemical has been in use for over 20 years and is considered very safe. Basically how it works is your body has a natural chelating agent called glutathione.  Glutathione resides inside your cells what happens is glutathione  attaches itself to toxic heavy metals such as lead and mercury and crosses the cell membrane and sits outside of the cell . DMSA then comes along and binds to the glutathione in effect binding to the lead, mercury, and other toxic metals and your body excretes them via the body's natural excretory pathways.
