Lead in your head will make you see red.

Lead in your glass will make you act like an ass.

See, you do have an excuse, for both your bad temper and your stupidity!

Lead poisoning in the home is the leading cause of environmentally induced illness in children in North America. It has been for  well over forty years. Despite recent government regulations to the contrary, unacceptably dangerous levels of lead are still found in many household items being sold in the United States and Canada. There aren’t enough inspectors checking for lead at customs, and importers are not taking it upon themselves to check products for government compliance. Hence, North America is inundated with toys, costume jewellery, ceramic cups, bowls and plates, metal and plastic cutlery, sippy cups, straws, soothers, candies, tinned goods and  bright shiny red plastic beer cups that are choc a bloc full of lead.

What!

Lead in plastic beer cups!

I knew that would get your attention.

And in practically everything your kids or grandkids touch or stuff in their face!

Get your priorities straight people!

Even the baby’s bathwater is highly suspect if they happen to live in an older home.  Sixty-four per cent of bathtubs installed before 1978 leach lead like crazy. And baby drinks the bathwater, not you. Baby also absorbs 52 % more lead over the blood/brain barrier than you do. All according to the Environmental Protection Agency ( google lead epa), which has been screaming at people like an uncontrollably raging, ADD,ADHD, mentally deranged lead poisoning victim, to test for lead contaminants in the home.

Maybe I have lead poisoning.

The household lead test kit from Homax, Homax Lead Check Swabs costs $7.99 US for two sticks. It has been rated the best do-it-yourself lead test kit on the market by the United States government for the last sixteen years. Canada doesn’t keep such stats, but relies upon the results found by its Big Brother to the south.  Each test stick, despite what the packaging tells you, will do well over ten tests. If the stick turns pink after ther first test, not to worry; the objects themselves, once dabbed with the stick’s wonder gel, will have gel residual left on them, which will also turn bright pink or red in the presence of lead.

So just keep on dabbing people, and watch for signs of lead contamination. Some plastic toys etc., contain a chemical which slows down the reaction time of the Homax Lead Check Swabs. It can take up to twelve hours to get a reaction result from some products, primarily those made with yellow-coloured plastics. It is well worth the wait, for such an extremely affordable test.

Quality of life, and indeed, life itself is at stake here for your family.

A single lead test done by a government body costs at least $35.00, so suck it up people. Scrape your pennies together and be the first line of defense for your children and/or grandchildren.  And for yourselves.

It is your responsibility to protect those kids. So do your duty.

If it turns red, there is lead.

If the lead test kit points to the possibility of lead poisoning in the home, it is best to have that simple blood test that we mentioned earlier. This will determine the level of heavy metal contamination that members of the household have suffered, if any.

Heavy metal detox methods can be discussed with a qualified physician. Burdock tea is a well-known herbal tea lead treatment, as it is known to assist in heavy metal detoxification. Please check out Herbal Remedies.com for this product and information regarding this product, and other herbs useful for lead treatment and other reasons one might need a heavy metal detox.

Lead poisoning is insidious. It disguises itself as a myriad of conditions. The symptoms of these conditions are usually treated, leaving the root cause, lead poisoning, to go on unabated.

Until someone gets extremely, irreversibly ill.

Signs of lead poisoning include anaemia, sudden episodes of uncontrollable rage, sheer stupidity on a regular basis, ADD, ADHD, nephritis ( a serious kidney disease), poor cognition, poor motor skills, poor skills period. (Google lead epa and symptoms lead poisoning).

Oh, and death.

But I wouldn’t wait for severe lead poisoning signs such as death to appear.

Ask for a  simple blood test for the presence of elevated lead levels if any of these lesser conditions are unfortunately present.

The last condition is a little late, but it would be good to know what killed you or your children. Or your children’s children.

Water and lead; add flouride, you’re dead!

ADD and ADHD behaviour increased 600%  in certain communities in  New York State since said communities changed over the type of fluoride they use to fluoridate the public water supply in their respective communities. Said communities changed from a sodium fluoride to a silica flouride. The rate of occurrence of ADD and ADHD conditions remained the same as ever in communities which did not change the type of fluoridation their communites used.

Silica-based fluorides cause lead contaminants to cross the blood/gut barrier at a far greater level than sodium-based fluoridation. Scientists believe that this type of fluoride effects the incidence of ADD and ADHD conditions exhibiting in a population. There appears to be a direct correlation between the presence of sillica-based fluoride and the increase in the prevalence of these conditions in communities. Please google fluoride and lead and fluoride effects for a list of informative articles on this subject. You may also google water and lead for an excellent list of articles on the same.

Why the change-over to silica-based fluoride? No-one mentions the reason in the scientific studies that I have perused. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was because of the demon word “sodium” in our sodium overloaded world.

Silica, it appears, is far worse. And fluoride has long be a tooth mottler, not enamel protector in areas high in limestone. Fluoride is an offshoot of phosphate fertilizer manufacturing and a poison in its own right. One  that the phosphate fertilizer industry needed to know what to do with.

I know. Let’s say it’s good for teeth and sell it!

Riiiight.

And what can be negative fluoride effects?

I know of fluoride effects of the negative kind first-hand.

My son’s teeth were permanently ruined by an un-authorized fluoride treatment at his elementary school. Mottled his perfect little teeth to shit in less than a day. No apology for overriding my request to have him exempted. I knew he had “soft” teeth genetically to begin with. They were perfectly white, and I had been buying flouride-free toothpaste to keep them that way. One treatment and his teeth were ruined by the time he got home. I am poor, and had no money for a lawsuit. Such a challenge would have been monumental. It is less expensive, yet less earth-changing, to save up for veneers for my son.

I do not like playing some morbid game of Russsian roulette with my children’s teeth, or any other part of their physique or their mental and emotional health. I am certain that neither do you.

Every chemist in the States who knows about this change in the fluoridation from sodium to silica base, has screamed at the government and anyone who they think will listen, to get things changed. Unfortunately, the same people who are responsible for making the changes, are drinking the lead contaminated water, and their blood/gut barrier isn’t barriering as it should.  Neither is their blood/brain barrier, to be sure.

Ergo: they have no brain cells left in their heads to make a rational decision and take out the silica-based fluoride.

Incorrectly fluoridated water and lead poisoning seems to have rendered them all ADHD and incompetent in the extreme.

If there is any such thing as correctly fluoridated water. After everything that I have read, which is actually a lot of scientific research that is cut and dried, — not fun like me — I don’t believe that there is any such animal.

And leave a comment if you would like a Homax Lead Check Kit. I’ll mail you one for the same price as Homax. But I love you more. And I can send you more than they can, because I am their official distributor, and that is the contract.

Nyaa
