When you say your lead level is at 66, how was this measured? Are you talking
about blood Lead, or from a provoked test?

My Lead was 72 after a DMSA provoked test, but my blood Lead level was 0.11,
which was well within "normal"....and to be expected, since my exposure was over
10 years ago.

All the literature explains clearly that blood Lead levels are only an
indication of recent exposure within about 3 months, but doctors are very
unwilling to consider that there could be a problem if the blood level says it
is within normal ! What a paradox !

MyND suggested that I retest my Lead levels after I have done about 30
chelations. If $$$$ were no object, I'd like to do it after every 10, just for
interest. I am really fascinated by this.

Anyone find that they are really susceptible to infections because of high Lead,
or that they had allergies that disappeared when the lead level came down?

certainty that I have discovered is that doctor's know practically nothing about
lead poisoning in adults and the most informative information comes from other
adults with lead poisoning.  Thank God for the Internet.

I tolerate heat.  The first sign of lead levels rising, is the burning in my
feet and ankles, the intolerance to heat and no endurance in any sport.  The
EDTA IV's worked wonders for me, but I couldn't afford to continue them.  I have
recently started oral chelation and hope it works, soon.
