3 years ago i began noticing that i had several PD systpoms - walk, voice, tremor, writing & voice. I visited 3 Nuro Doctors and 1 GP Doc .


Doc 1 says B12 defiency
Doc 2&3 says PD


Doc 4 says lets run more test to include hair analysis (HA). HA results are off the chart with chronic lead poisioning(which wasnt picked up during blood test). Iam detoxing now with EDTA


Im 56 and in great shape. Anythoughts?

Not much change-yet,,,its been 4 months, I have been detoxing since June when I discovered my lead level was 1.0( extremely high) just got results back 10.10.18 I am now down to 0,5(moderate) my goal is 0 to 0.1. I plan to continue detoxing until Dec when I hope my levels will be at zero...
The next 6to24 months is when I pray that nuero-plaslicity kicks-in and my nervous system is restored.. I got progressively worst over 3 year I assumed it would take a couple years to get better. Lead is a nuero-toxin with similar symptoms to PD. hope this helps
