Not long ago I started noticing that when I would

Also I was doing weird stuff like bumping into
the edges of doorways on occasion,
instead of gracefully passing through them.
Sometimes when standing still, it would feel like
my feet were sliding apart in this kinda weird
almost spinning sensation. Sometimes numbness
in the hands.

research online and discovered that indeed my symptoms
just might well be those of lead poisoning.
Dave, If you really think that your lead level may be that high,
consider getting a blood test. They can also evaluate other heavy
metals. If the symptoms are that noticeable, it's best to resolve
that one way or the other, right?
To make a long story short, for the last couple
of months I've been munching mass quantities
of Cilantro, about 1 bunch/day.
Also I've been supplementing with selenium.
If you really have high lead content, you'll probably get to take some
strong chelating agents made with mercaptans. It will be great.

I also read about how lead poisoning was what
made the Hat makers go mad and is where the
expression "Mad Hatter" came from.
That would be mercury, but that would make for a great cocktail.
BTW, also I have a lot of dental fillings
starting to break lose, so I have to wonder
if some of the metal toxicity might also be
a result of mercury from crumbling amalgum.
After denying possible problems for years, many dentists are now
discontinuing use of mercury for some reason.
At any rate, whatever the cause, heaping servings
of Cilantro and a supplement of selenium seem
to be keeping it in check.
I plan to look into Chlorella which also is
purported to have chelating properties.
Seaweed...J.P.
Hadn't heard that one.
