Such symptoms can make the causes difficult to diagnose. The health crisis that is unfolding in Flint Michigan with contaminated water will have healthcare consequences and projected costs in the billions for an entire generation of children (and some adults) who were unknowingly consuming lead contaminated water for an extended period.
That is my point- what 'science' has done is to extrapolate their 'facts' from somewhat dubious data. With things like this there are so many other factors involved that any conclusions one comes to must not be taken as absolute fact but more as a high probability. If i were an absolute fact there could not be any exceptions, and there are exceptions. In any other scientific analysis these 'facts' would not be accepted as such by the scientific community for they do not pass their normal standards of proof. THAT is the point I'm trying to make here; NOT that there is no danger with lead which there certainly IS TBH I don't see a way to meet the usual standards of proof here without intentionally harming a person, which is something I do not advocate, but that should not be used as an excuse to overlook the standards.
Many of us including me were exposed to toxins like mercury, lead, asbestos and other substances early in life and we seem to have survived it. For most of us those exposures were short term events and we all probably dodged some bullets on way or another or perhaps experienced effects we couldn't notice directly. Whether we are experiencing any sort of long term health effects, we will never know for sure. But to suggest that lead in the environment is not a serious heath issue or that concerns over lead poisoning is some kind of "drink the kool-aid hoax sounds insane as does sanding leaded paints without a mask over a period of years. If you read the literature about lead toxicity you'll find out that there is still plenty of time for that to catch up to you. Lead is a cumulative toxin, it never leaves your body
Which helps make my point. I think there are other factors involved with this that have not received adequate study, and that will not happen if we don't question the way these 'facts' have been determined and whether other factors are involved in how this works. Something is causing the anomalies and we ought to learn why instead of simply accepting what we are being told because of the sources that information is coming from. Especially when those sources are not applying their own usual standards of proof to the question at hand Yes lead can be dangerous just not to everyone equally and nobody know why.
(BTW this message was delayed 18 hours because tho power went out last night and came back on sometime today when I was at work. The laptop idled through it all but the wifi router at my sister's house was out too so I was offline. Never lost power this long here in town before and the winds weren't really that bad- maybe 45MPH gusts- so I guess the outage length was from a lack of workers since most of ours went to Florida)
