- adventured 9y agoLipoic acid will remove some heavy metals from your body. It can also cross the blood-brain barrier and remove mercury, one of the few things that can.
- DenisM 9y agoIs it folk wisdom? Or are there references to back it up?
- freehunter 9y agoEverything in this thread that supposes to be medical advice is nonsense folk wisdom. If there was a medicine that cured lead poisoning we wouldn't have articles like this one.
- oldandtired 9y agoThe reason I asked the question was to see if anyone had had medical advice on the subject. My father was a printer in the days when lead type was used. Over a long period of time he accumulated lead within his body. His doctor advised him to eat beetroot every day. Over a period of several months the amount of lead that had accumulated in his body was reduce to negligible amounts and he never had the problem again. Mind you, he still eats beetroot today and he is in his mid-eighties. He was in his mid-thirties when he started. I was wondering if others had been advised by their doctors on this subject.
