Lead Poisoning Symptoms.

[Guest guest]

Lead Poisoning Symptoms [Toxicity is a major factor behind disease today. Let us consider lead. We are bombarded with this metal from various sources (see below). Homeopathically the preferred remedy is Plumbum Metallicum, though many other remedies will be applied by the discerning physician, as the toxin may amplify the other miasms already present. Naturopathic and ayurvedic detoxification should also help. As I have suggested in my article on detoxification, a naturopathic detox every six months and an ayurvedic therapy every three years is advisable to keep our bodies pollution free. The problem with blood reports is the toxins get absorbed in the body and hence out of the blood. One has to go in for tissue, hair

and nail tests. I have compiled this mail from various sources - Jagannath] Lead poisoning usually does not cause symptoms until the level of lead in your blood is very high. Most lead poisoning comes from low levels of exposure over a long period of time. The major organ systems affected are the central nervous system, gastrointestinal (digestive) tract, and the renal system (urinary tract). Chronic lead exposure may cause the following symptoms. General physical symptoms in children and adults (usually seen when lead poisoning levels are severe) Stomachaches, cramping, constipation,

or diarrhea Nausea, vomiting Persistent, unexplained fatigue Headache Muscle weakness Higher rates of tooth decay Children with chronic low blood lead levels who may not have obvious symptoms of lead poisoning may have learning problems and be smaller in size than children their age who do not have low to moderate levels of lead poisoning. A recent study showed that declines in IQ can even be seen in children with blood lead concentrations below 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood (10 mcg/dL), the level of concern defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.11 Chronic exposure to lead may also cause behavioral problems in these children. Behavioral symptoms in children Irritability or aggressiveness Hyperactivity, being easily distracted, impulsiveness Learning problems Lack of interest in play Loss of appetite Behavioral symptoms in adults Irritability Unexplained changes in mood or personality Changes in sleep patterns Inability to concentrate Memory loss Neurological symptoms (caused by effects of lead on the nervous system) Poor coordination Weakness in hands and feet Headaches Seizures Paralysis Coma Diagnosing lead poisoning can be difficult because many other conditions cause similar symptoms. Severe symptoms of acute lead poisoning can include seizures, unconsciousness, paralysis, or swelling in

the brain. However, exposure to such a high level of lead is not common.1 If you experience these symptoms, seek emergency medical care. Lead Poisoning Topics 1 Topic Overview

High levels of lead can cause serious health problems in your children. Lead poisoning can affect almost every

organ system of the body, including: brain and central nervous system, causing: lower IQs headaches memory problems reduced coordination learning disabilities irritability hyperactivity increased sleeping decreased activity and fatigue hearing loss vomiting slow reflexes muscle weakness, affecting mainly the upper extremities seizures, coma, hypertension in high levels gastrointestinal system, causing: constipation diarrhea abdominal pain vomiting poor appetite weight loss blood system, causing anemia or low blood counts kidney problems reproductive system, causing: miscarriages premature birth low birth weight If your child has any of these symptoms of lead poisoning and he is at risk for lead exposure

then you should see your doctor immediately. Most children with lead poisoning do not have any symptoms, so if your child is at risk you should still have him tested even if he is not having any problems. Some effects of lead poisoning, such as poor school performance because of a low IQ, do not show up until a child is much older, at which time they will probably have a normal lead level, and so may not be attributed to lead poisoning.

WebMD Where Found Return to top Lead used to be very common in gasoline and house paint in the U.S. Although these items are no longer made with lead in them, lead is still a health problem. Lead is everywhere, including dirt, dust, new toys, and old house paint. Unfortunately, you can't see, taste, or smell lead. Lead is found in: House paint before 1978. Even if the paint is not peeling, it can be a problem. Lead paint is very dangerous when it is being stripped or sanded. These actions release fine lead dust into the air. Infants and children living in pre-1960's housing (when paint often contained lead) have the highest risk of lead poisoning. Small children often swallow paint chips or dust from lead-based paint. Toys and furniture painted before 1976. Painted toys and decorations made outside the U.S. Lead bullets, fishing sinkers, curtain weights. Plumbing, pipes, faucets. Lead can be found in drinking water in homes whose pipes were connected with lead solder. While new building codes require lead-free solder, lead is still found in some modern faucets. Soil contaminated by decades of car exhaust or years of house paint scrapings. Thus, lead is more common in soil near highways and houses. Hobbies involving soldering, stained glass, jewelry making, pottery glazing, miniature lead figures (always look at labels). Children's paint sets and art supplies (always look at labels). Pewter pitchers and dinnerware.
