Re: Kidneys Just Took A Beating - EDIT

I can testify that the "herxing" that happens with killing stuff like the Buski fluke, also cause the Lead symptoms named below. It probably should be posted on the chelation forum, but where in the Cutler info would you ever read that killing parasites causes metals herxing?

I dunno Newport. There's alot to think about with so much of this stuff. It makes no sense to me when a CZ friend has been telling me about the videos she's been watching about how awful calcium is- whatever you do don't take calcium...and applying that to everybody.

I'm guessing that the reason my teeth and face bones are aching right now, in some weird way like I've never felt before- is because I wasn't taking calcium for quite a while (because I kept forgetting to reorder it) prior to starting on the triphala last week. I had backed off of the pharma ascorbic acid for a while now, because of it also stirring up copper then too. I know high Lead is a problem for me, from the urine test. I'm now taking the triple boron product with calcium and other minerals in it, but I wonder how much calcium IS needed because of the Lead in the bones and teeth?

I was reading recently, that Vitamin K is needed for calcium to be absorbed..and it's one of the fat soluble vitamins that the liver is not able to process for it to be utilized like it's supposed to be, if the liver is sick. So instead of calcium being absorbed, and going where it's needed, it does become the calcium problem the CZ friend is so sure will happen to anyone that takes it.

Just parts I've picked out that caught my interest, but there's plenty more to read in the link.

Lead poisoning can lead to many symptoms and signs which vary depending on the individual and the duration of lead exposure,[1] however none are pathognomonic (i.e. no symptom points only to lead poisoning). Effects include abdominal pain, joint pain,[1] chest pain, and reproductive problems. Cognitive problems such as memory loss can also result, as can behavioural changes, such as inability to concentrate, hyperactivity, irritability, aggressiveness, mood swings, or insomnia. Poisoning can cause neuropathy, such as weakness, tremors, twitches, spasms, or cramps.

Early symptoms of lead poisoning in adults are commonly nonspecific and include depression, loss of appetite, intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and muscle pain.[8] An unusual taste in the mouth and personality changes are other early signs.[9] Other early signs in adults include malaise, fatigue, irritability, decreased libido, headache, and problems with sleep.[1] In acute poisoning, gastrointestinal problems, such as constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, or weight loss, are common.

Signs of severe poisoning, which are increasingly likely to show up as blood lead levels exceed 30 μg/dL, include somnolence or severe lethargy, paralysis, and abdominal colic.[9] Anemia may appear at blood lead levels higher than 50 μg/dL.[8] Signs that occur in adults at blood lead levels exceeding 100 μg/dL include wristdrop and footdrop, abdominal colic, and signs of encephalopathy, such as those that accompany increased pressure within the skull, delerium, coma, seizures, and headache.[10] In children, signs of encephalopathy such as bizarre behavior, discoordination, and apathy occur at lead levels exceeding 70 μg/dL.[10]

Signs of chronic exposure include loss of short-term memory or concentration, depression, loss of coordination, nausea, abdominal pain, and numbness and tingling in the extremities.[9] Chronic lead poisoning can produce a "lead hue" of the skin with a lividity and pallor.[11] Lead toxicity sometimes causes the formation of a bluish line along the gums, which is known as the Burton line or "lead line,"[11] but this is very uncommon in young children

Lead has no known physiologically relevant role in the body.[12][13] It is removed from the body mainly through urine,[9] normally at a rate of 0.5 µmol/L); this slow rate of excretion causes accumulation in tissues. Small amounts of lead are also eliminated through hair, nails, sweat, and feces.[14]

The main body compartments that store lead are the the blood, soft tissues, and bone; the half-life of lead in these tissues is measured in weeks for blood, months for soft tissues, and years for bone.[1] The estimated half-life of lead in bone is 20–30 years, and bone can introduce lead into the bloodstream long after the initial exposure is gone.[9] In adults, 94% of absorbed lead is deposited in the bones and teeth, but children only store 70% in this manner, a fact which may partially account for the more serious health impacts on children

Part of lead's toxicity results from its ability to mimic other biologically important metals, most notably calcium, iron and zinc which act as cofactors in many enzymatic reactions. Lead is able to bind to and interact with many of the same enzymes as these metals but, due to its differing chemistry, does not properly function as a cofactor, thus interfering with the enzyme's ability to catalyze its normal reaction or reactions.

They found that children who had been exposed to high levels of lead in the womb were more than twice as likely to go on to develop schizophrenia.

Nephropathy occurs because the kidneys are the main route of removal of lead from the body

A fetus may be poisoned in utero if lead from the mothers bones is subsequently mobilized by the changes in metabolism due to pregnancy; increased calcium intake in pregnancy may help mitigate this phenomenon.[27] Lead is able to pass through the placenta and into breast milk.[1]
