Lead Poisoning Support Group
Lead poisoning is a medical condition, also known as saturnism, plumbism or painter's colic, caused by increased blood serum lead levels. The symptoms of lead poisoning include neurological problems, such as reduced IQ, nausea, abdominal pain, irritability, insomnia, excess lethargy or hyperactivity, headache and, in extreme cases, seizure and coma. There are also...
My daughter has recently been diagnosed with lead poisoning of 34 level. I have been in my doctor's office crying for so many visits wondering what is wrong with her as she clearly has all the classic symptoms but all that has been suspected is autism. The anger is immense and we are doing all we can. We have moved, we are seeking homeopathic assistance, a naturopathic MD for natural chelation, and occupational therapy and developmental therapy as the medical community tells you to sit and wait while the level goes down? Really? I am amazed that I had to google for help on even nutrition. The neurospecialist we saw was even educated on iron, calcium and vitamin C to bring down the level! I am sick of having to be my own doctor and fighting for my child to have a normal life with a calm nervous system. I hope others can help with the feelings involved, anger and tears that are endless. I hope my heart can go on if my child does not get well. I am one broken mother.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I ordered my medical records because I've had a difficult time with my health since high school but recently dealing with ms symptoms. That's 30 years later.
My records show
Lead 35
Mercury 1510 and that's not a typo
I was sick for 7 months before they did 2 Bal treatments. I think its a type of chelation. I was 2 when admitted in the hospital. I was followed up for the next 2 years. They documented continued effects. I thought I was normal all my life but with unusual symptoms. I wish I would have known to follow up with a neurologist all my life
The good thing is you know your child needs treatment. I'm ok :) graduated as a Summa Cum Laude. The typos are because I'm typing on my smartphone and not the toxic poisoning.
Be here later in life when your child complaints about undiagnosed symptoms instead of going through life being told hypochondriac.
I'm now in search to see if my CNS is giving up on me as my symptoms are scary.
Most imp for you is my parents think I fully recovered.

Once there you can click on the link that discusses lead toxicity in more detail. I am following Dr Wilsons nutritional balancing program and it is also good for children.
Hope this helps,
