All our ancestors used lead. My dad said he ate lead paint chips. He still had a formidable intellect.
Can we trust anything? Is lead as deadly as portrayed? Even though our ancestors cast lead bullets in their cabins? I don't know. But there seems to me a reason, that lead is demonized?!?
In science class, we rolled around balls of mercury. Just saying . . .
And yes I had chelation for heavy metal detox, whether I needed it or not, how can one even know?
I ate lead paint chips as a kid. Later I became a member of Mensa.
My daughter had high levels of lead in her blood when I adopted her. She was always in accelerated classes.
Just imagine how big brained we could have been if only lead didn't hold us back! ;)
Do you remember "Coffee will stunt your growth"?
I started drinking coffee in elementary school (I've just always loved the smell and taste) I grew up to be a 5'10" woman. Darn that coffee! Lol
The simple explanation is Lead/mercury/etc. is extremely bad for you if its in a form that is toxic for your body and and easily absorb-able by your cells. There are some forms of lead that are not bad for you at all. As a rule of thumb stay away from lead and mercury if you can.
Example: If you have ever heard the term "Mad as a hatter" it is a reference to old time hat makers breathing in the mercury fumes that were caused by the embroidery and hat making process of the time.
I get it! I have had chelation for heavy metals. But what forms of lead or mercury is ok?? I agree that some forms are ok, but now they are being erased from the periodic table as totally bad??

THAT is what I told my Dad!
One does not know what to believe anymore, but if lead were that bad?!? Or is lead not that bad?!? SHEESH! I just wish we knew the complete truth!

HA! I am likewise 5'10" woman! HI fren!

Mercury molecules are to big for your skin to absorb them. Still very dangerous to ingest
It was so fun to roll about mercury in science class! Glad to know the skin did not absorb it! I guess our science teachers back then, knew that.
I did the same.
Now they call out the hazmat team if a thermometer breaks.
Wonder why they want us to do that? just asking
