heavy metals exposure
by M., Jan 12, 2001 12:00AM
I am a welder and machinist currently being treated for Bipolar/
Major depression. I have been exposed to and/or inhaled the
following: aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel, copper, brass,
bronze, magesium, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, argon, helium to
name a few. My symptoms are not being releived after having
tried all of the main drugs they are now suggesting ECT. I want
to know if there are any blood tests or other test related to toxicity from these metals and gases? I have a constant suicidal tendency which none of the hospitals or doctors have been able to relieve for the past 15 years. If aluminum is a cause to alzhimers what should my or could my doctors currently be missing?

I am doing some research and will have an answer for you next week.
Know that chemical imbalances in the brain mean that you are being controlled, no better-of than a dog or a cow, Is that what you are?
Rely on yourself to find reasons, that you are here not to be controlled, but to realise your freedom....such ideas will surely allow you to let go of the tediousness of these rather unheartwarming thaughts.
