Lead-safety Message: D is also for Delicious. Lead distorts the metabolism of Vitamin D, reducing the amount transformed into the form most useful to the human body. So I get my Vitamin D from sunshine and from delicious fish like haddock, salmon and sardines.

Lead-safety Message: B is also for Bonus. The only way to avoid harm from lead in your body is to remove it. Chelators like EDTA bind to the lead in your blood so this biotoxin can be removed. As a bonus, lead removal may reverse some of the bad effects of lead.

Lead-safety Message: Z is also for Zinc. Zinc helps over 300 enzymes to work in our body. Lead poisoning involves lead binding to enzymes in place of the zinc or iron etc, inhibiting them; it’s reversible because chelation with EDTA removes lead, restoring enzyme activity.

Lead-safety Message: Like a shadow, Lead gets into the brain by “pretending” to be Calcium. Lead sneaks into brain cells and kills cells and breaks up cell-to-cell communication, thus causing short attention span, poor memory and trouble learning.
