I've never heard of salt re lead. You might have low levels incidentally though

@Deleted User hmmm thanks. I take a lot of C, because I was told that it will bind with the lead. I probably need to take more D and calcium. I'm lactose intolerant too. So any calcium would be good.

Will my lead levels naturally go down if I stay away from it? I can't, but I can take better precautions.

Yes that's the main treatment

If with your job make sure they following regs

Cool. It's all me at work. I have to take better care.
Thanks for information

Sweet, I have a test tomorrow on Kidney systems. I'll be up all night studying.

Funny how little of the physiology remains clinically relevant

What's the rundown on scars? I have particularly bad one I would like to get rid of

It's really bad tbh. It's not very large but the skin is basically a lump that's raised several millimeters and looks awful. It's also pretty painful, contact with it causes shooting pain all over my right ribcage (it's just a bit below my right pect)

Is there anything I can do to get rid of it non surgically?

It's about the size of a quarter

I'm not medically trained but I have a bad scar and experience with this. Your scar is a keloid. You can reduce it with silicone scar strips and they work really well with keloids and reducing the color.

The scar I used mine on is completely flesh colored now and all the keloid parts were flattened. They work even on old scars.

Look up silicone for reducing scars. It's used in burn units and things like that.

Sweet thx

Np

Definitely follow the directions for best results.

👍

Please see @Deleted User question @here

Alright so this is the second time in a row that I’ve gone to the gym and it feels as if either a vein or a ligament is pinching in my left elbow

Docs

Do you have tennis elbow? Any inflammation? Change in color? Does it only hurt while under weight or when you use it normally?
