Did you know that your high blood pressure is not just stress-induced?

You could do yoga six hours a day and meditate for another two and you still might have high blood pressure due to low-level lead exposure.

Lead poisoning is a root cause of idiopathic hypertension.  

A government study from researchers of John Hopkins School of Public Health highlighted the wide-ranging damage from low level lead exposure. It is well-documented that lead exposure in kids can produce lower IQ's, ADD/ADHD, delayed puberty, lower birth weight and hearing deficits.

In adults, the effects of exposure to lead include kidney disease, high blood pressure, depression, peripheral arterial disease. There is mounting evidence that links lead exposure to heart attack deaths.

Dr. Ana Navas-Acien, a technical advisor for the federal study, endorsed chelation therapy to remove the lead.

At Second Nature Care, we have been successfully chelating high lead patients for over fifteen years. Schedule an appointment and let's check your lead levels.
