> Damien: Did you get a lead blood level test? There is also a blood test for lead in tissue known as a Zinc Protporphin (sp) test. The symtoms of CFS and lead poisoning are very similar and may very well be your problem. The bad news is that after chelation therapy
there is no cure or treatment for lead accumulated in your
body except time. The lead accumulates in the bone and
stays for many years. Good luck...Jennifer
