Specializes in Holistic Medicine

Can be very serious: Lead poisoning can be very serious, depending on the degree, but even low levels of lead toxicity are associated with increased risk of heart attacks,stroke & death. The best treatment is chelation with EDTA (IV, oral or rectal) &/or DMSA but supplements like Vit. C, Vit D, chlorella & purified zeolites can also help. See http://bit.ly/1hzLKKF & http://bit.ly/1x95qsX Ideally work with a good Dr.
