I assume those are easy to get, right?
Well, what's interesting is, as opposed to the problems we have today that are prominent, such as the microplastic, nanoplastic, the air pollution,
the forever chemicals.
They just keep getting worse.
I mean, they're just cumulative.
This one, you know, there was tremendous improvement, but still not enough.
And I guess you're zooming in on the lead lines that'd be the most important thing to work on today.
Another thing that has come up, there's been trials, as you may, I'm sure you know, because you're all over this field, of chelation.
There's a trial that was run by NIH, supported by NIH, that looked at chelation to prevent coronary disease.
Is there any evidence that people who have a problem with lead would benefit from chelation therapy?
Right.
It's a reservoir that's hard to reckon with.
Yeah.
Now, another thing, you have a substack that is called Plagues, Pollution, Poverty.
And you wrote a really provocative piece in that earlier in April called How Estrogen Keeps Lead and Heart Attack in Check.
Basically, you got into the lead estrogen hypothesis.
Right.
Can you enlighten us about that?
Yeah, I know.
It's really interesting.
