Symptoms of Chemical Exposure
From the MERCK INDEX – 6
LEAD:
Mental confusion, visual disturbances, convulsions,
loss of cognitive abilities, anti-social behavior, paralysis, anorexia,
"lead line" on gum margin, nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain,
anemia. Uses of Lead
MERCURY:
Nervousness, discouragement, irritability, personality
changes, muscle tremors, jerky gait, spasms of extremities,
inflammation of mouth and gums, swelling of salivary glands,
excessive flow of saliva, loosening of teeth, kidney damage.
ALUMINUM:
Produces mental status changes, speech disturbances, coarse tremors, and produces an abnormal EEG; Inhibits cell division during the "S Phase";
fosters bone disorders, including fractures; causes a microcytic hypoproliferative anemia; is a toxic agent in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease; kills liver cells.
MANGANESE:
Emotional disturbances, sleepiness, weakness,
spastic gait, paralysis, languor.
SELENIUM:
Nervousness, depression, convulsions, vomiting, cough,
dyspnea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, somnolence, fall in blood
pressure, respiratory failure & death, marked pallor, garlic odor
of breath, sweat and urine; red staining of fingers, teeth and hair; marked
debility, epistaxis, G.I. disturbances, dermatitis,
irritation of nose & throat. Hydrogen selenide can cause
pneumonitis and damage to liver, kidney and spleen. (arthritis; eruptions
and yellowish tinting of the skin.)
BARIUM:
Convulsions, hallucinations, vomiting, cramps, purging,
prostration, paralysis. "The Chloride" - Fatal dose 0.8 to 0.9 grams.
CADMIUM:
Extreme restlessness and irritability, headache,
chest pain, increased salivation, choking, vomiting, abdominal pain,
diarrhea, tenesmus, throat dryness, cough, pneumonitis.
SILVER:
Convulsions, coma, blood dyscrasias, dermatitis,
argyria may occur following prolonged use. Heart (especially aortitis or
aneurysm), liver or renal disease, gastroenteritis, paralysis, nephritis.
BORON: Boric Acid - Serious poisoning can result from the
ingestion of 5 g. Chronic use may result in eczema, localized
edema, stomatitis, gray line on the gums.
COPPER:
Doctors at Loyola University Medical School in Chicago and the Carl Pheiffer
Treatment Center have reported that violent males between the ages
of 3 and 18 commonly have elevated copper and
reduced zinc blood levels when
compared to nonviolent males. Depression and schizophrenia also have links to
high copper levels.
( Manganese, Selenium, Boron and Copper are essential elements. They are
required at
very low levels. —Tommy C.— )
Di-Sodium EDTA will remove Lead, Cadmium and Aluminum from the body. I will post a study list later regarding other elements.

Experiencing any of the above symptoms, is not a sure indication of
elemental toxicity. Many symptoms, can be brought on by more than one
cause. Seek assistance in forming your diagnosis.
