In 1982 I spray painted a lot of military vehicles without using a respirator, mask, or any other form of protective equipment. I would blow out paint from my nostrils every day, and I would also have the paint stuck to my eye lashes and hair and skin. I just found out last year that the paint, called Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC), contained lead, hexavalent chromium, hexamethylene diisocyanate, toluene, xylene, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), . . . Recent medical diagnoses show I have allergic conjunctivitis, nasal polyps and cysts, lung nodules, and bibasilar acteletasis. I think I also have a sensitivity or asthma relating to the exposure to the Isocyanates and/VOCs because my airway feels like it constricts whenever I’m near adhesives, polyurethane paint, nail polish, perfumes, etc. These odors cause me to cough uncontrollably, as if my throat goes completely dry. My physician recommended I wait a year before getting a second CT chest scan to look for changes in my lungs. Is there any test that could confirm I inhaled lead? It’s been 40 years so I’m not sure.
The best lecture I’ve heard to date, thank you. I had acute exposure to lead for approximately 6 months. My first symptom was sudden loss of vision in my left eye. Initially I did not connect this to my lead exposure so I made an appointment to see my optometrist. After getting a new prescription I purchased new lenses for my frames and for the most part the vision issue was resolved. The second symptom was lower back pain which was initially very painful. After a month it was more tolerable but it will not completely go away. I know both symptoms are related to my exposure to lead. A toxicologist will not see me unless I make an appointment with my GP which is in December. I tried taking Glutathione but it made my kidneys hurt so bad I almost went to the hospital. I welcome any suggestions, thank you.
The lecture was clearly well written and researched but I struggled with the accent and pronounciation of one of the presenters. Unfortunately the subtitles were garbage quite frequently...with quotes like "hobo irrigation on the role" which didn't really help. Thank you for the hard work in producing it, unfortunately let down by a few issues with delivery.
The chart says no treatment for less than 70 mg/dl but what if there is symptom and BLL is less than70 or 50mg/dl ? I personally think that symptoms are more important than BLL numbers.
Would you consider at all please contacting the Nunavut government in Canada and explaining to them how the endemic toxicity among Inuit would cause decreased IQ, learning disabilities, infertility and increased crime rates? Thank you so much, on behalf of all the children of Nunavut
Thank you for your presentation. I am surprised to see no mention of amalgam fillings in your presentation as their existence would preclude the use of chelation in anyone. underscore anyone. I am likewise leery of the advice limits for not treating, as NCBI data are clear Lead has long term implications for hypertension and stroke later in life in more senior patients. My wife, at 43 went through a 7 year long chronic exposure to lead which we did not recognize as exposure until we were later educated on the topic. Her exposure was followed recently by elevated LDL and total cholesterol. We never caught on to the idea lead might be in play until it showed up as elevated cholesterol and mild memory issues at age 54. Her serum level on intake was 19 ug/Dl. Amalgam removal was followed by two week waiting period that was then preceded by a blood draw. Low dose Chelation using 12.5 mg DMSA on the 4 hour half life was taken orally for three days (including waking at night to take a dose). This was followed by a 4 day rest period with each 3 days on and 4 days off 7 day period called a round. The first round produced tingling, headache, more energy, more metal clarity, and some miscellaneous aches. Rounds 2 and three left her with energy and clarity. After 3 rounds at 12.5 mg, the dose was upped to 18.75 and after three more it was upped to 25 mg for two more rounds. Three weeks after the 8 rounds were completed, blood was taken showing her total cholesterol had dropped from 243 to 189 with no change in diet. She is more clear and kidney GFA has returned to normal levels. According to the cutler protocol she followed, she will continue to chelate with DMSA for one round a month for the next two years. As an institution looking to offer services across the spectrum of the community, I wonder if there is something in looking for folks who once suffered chronic lead poisoning to help alleviate them of the affects that show up in senior life. Thank you again for the video.
Great lecture! Thank you... For the work up for lead (or mercury) hair analysis, psycho-educational testing, and tests for dementia such as the MMSE and MOCA are also useful...there might be more, but that's all I can think of for now...I am only familiar with chronic toxicity, that becomes acute, as the liver, and kidneys being so full of heavy metals are not able to excrete the heavy metals on their own any more, and the heavy metals start to build up--first filling the lipophilic areas such as the brain and reproductive organs, and then spilling over into the hydrophilic areas such as the blood.... In these cases, there are high levels of heavy metals in the fatty tissues, with lower levels in the blood...so the blood levels of the metals only show that there is acute on chronic heavy metal toxicity and that it is quite severe, but it does not tell you how severe it is... this is the limitation of using blood levels as a diagnostic tool... Thank you again!
I concur completely on the workup! Hair analysis looking for mineral derangement may be more indicative of a neurotoxic effect of a heavy metal than blood tests! (Cutler et al) That the presented protocol for treatment does not specifically call for amalgam removal prior to ANY chelation is in my mind a serious omission. Ditto the over reliance and oversimplification of blood data AND the overly high reliance on looking at that 95% in adults without a serious look at the areas of the brain and CNS wher the other 5% ends up. Also, that the presence of mercury in a PT can mask/ confuse the issues with lead was not dealt with here. Just because evidence may point to lead does not mean it is the only operative neurotoxin. Lastly a clear study of the data set on IV EDTA calls into question its ability to both wrestle heavy metal from the lipophilic area of the brain and, its forming a molecule with its captive that is too large to successfully exit the brain and or the body with predictability.
Question, can the body really flush out lead on it's own, that is until the level is too high? I also keep hearing how diet can help deter poisoning but I find that hard to believe. Do you know anything about this?
i just moved into an apartment today and there was lead paint used and my first day here I had servere abdominal pain while using the restroom in a way I never have I feel my muscles twitching they warned me about lead poisoning after I paid first month's rent and I googled the symptoms and its a perfect match and came across this video thanks
Sorry to hear about this. I had a similar situation. You can protect yourself now by vacuuming everywhere, especially in the window sills, with a vacuum that has a HEPA filter/bag. On top of the doors, everywhere. Then you can wash out the window sills and blinds. I had to take mine off the window and wash them in the tub, they had so much fine paint dust in them. Then wash the floor well. Every time you open the windows, if they have old paint or varnish, that can produce a very fine amount of microscopic dust.
I don't hear your speech, I heard the word abortion and I'm pro life. So, when you get onboard with English speech maybe I'll listen again. In America, all water should be evaluated. We already have this problem here, in America. Likely it's insideous in other countries too. Those who statistically evaluate a known problem and just let's it be, are not who I want to know:

EDT or Cutler protocol
@@dorotastarzynska1019 I was able to look up the Cutler protocol but I can’t find anything on EDT. What is that an acronym for?
Very informative! Thank you!

That Was an excellent and concise summary of lead toxicology
The chart says no treatment for less than 70 mg/dl but what if there is symptom and BLL is less than70 or 50mg/dl ? I personally think that symptoms are more important than BLL numbers.

What is long time effect because I lived in a home with lead whole life until the last 6 years and I have many health issues right now
Irritability?
