Hello Anne,

I hope that you are feeling much better soon, but am writing to advise caution.
Some of the lead removing agents, such as D-Penamine or Penicillamine are quite
deadlly and are extremely toxic. You can do more damage to your body with the
treatments than is actually being caused by the lead itself. Chronic lead
poisoning causes the lead to remain in the bones for about 90 years and the more
the bones thin down the higher the lead levels in the blood as it leeches into
the blood stream. Keeping as active as you possibly can to maintain strong
bones is extremely important, as is a good diet and all the rest of it.

Taking adequate calcium and vitamin D is probably one of the most important
things you can do to keep your existing lead levels down.

I am so glad that you are going to get a second opinion from another doctor as
self treatment is not a good or advisable thing.

Good luck, and I hope that you have found a good doctor to help you sort out
your lead poisoning problems,

Warmest Wishes,
Jay

am going to do the Detoxamin suppositories and see how I get on with those. They
certainly would be the best in terms of cost and convenience.
