Where has all the lead gone? 
It's been over 30 years since the government has banned lead from paint, and started to phase it out of gasoline. But what happened to the millions of tons of this lead? Where did it go? What about the lead emissions from Chinese toys and whatever other unknown sources are around us? Well, one place we know that it goes is into our bones. We know that compared to several hundred years ago, the lead level in our bones is hundreds of times higher than it was at that time. Even more concerning is that lead leaves the bone and goes into the bloodstream whenever the bones release calcium. Such times as during pregnancy, breast-feeding, menopause, or during periods of less than required protein intake or vitamin D intake, and post operatively, the bones demineralize. Along with calcium goes lead. Once the lead gets into the bloodstream it can go to any organ and cause such things as hypertension, kidney disease, dementia, and premature aging. In the pregnant female it will go to the fetus and in nursing mothers, into the breast milk. This exposes to the fetus and young infant at a time when their brains are immature and very susceptible to this toxic influence. One can test the lead level in a person's blood and get some indication of how much lead is actually being circulated at any given time. Yet even with low levels in the blood stream, large amounts may still be residing in bone tissue. The infants that are born to mothers with high bone and blood levels are likely to be growth retarded and have slower mental development by age 2. Lead is also associated with impaired communication, attention deficit, and abnormal fine motor skills. In women with high bone lead levels, menopause may present a greater risk, because with osteoporosis, the bones will begin to leak lead and it will enter into the blood and then the rest of the body. This can lead to heart disease, kidney disease, and increased cancer risk. It may also lead to midlife and old age mental decline with a deterioration memory, mood disorders, and slowed thinking. It has been shown that patients with high bone lead accumulations will suffer from accelerated aging. What can one do? • Make sure your environment is as lead free is possible. • Get a blood lead level checked for each person in your family. • Make sure the diet contains adequate amounts of essential minerals, including calcium magnesium and trace minerals. • Make sure the diet is adequate in protein intake. • Taking a multivitamin, like BodyHealth Complete + Detox supplies the nutrients necessary to remove lead. • If your lead level is high, consider taking a supplement like Metal-Free to help the body remove lead from your system.
