A friend of mine has a daughter who had borderline lead levels when she was 2 or 3 and was told to have her drink lots of milk. She is now 14 and is having major issues - stomach pains, headaches, leg pain, etc. all related to lead poisoning. She has been to doctors and no one wants to say anything or do anything. If there is any advice on what should be done in this situation, please let me know. My friend needs a direction and hope that someone will listen and help her daughter.

" She needs chelation therapy. Chelation uses drugs to remove the lead at a cellular level and help the kidneys expell it in the urine. She should have her true lead levels measured through a lab that does urine analysis. Doctors Data is the lab used for us. Perhaps you could call them and ask if they have a docotr who uses their lab that they could recommend. That might get you to a good doctor for treatment. A chiropractor might be able to help you find one too. "
