I'm not sure what this means - In view of the new information by accredited
researchers - how can this be accurate?

Do we pick and chose what information we want?

Do we ignore that information we don't want to hear?

Is everything already known?

In the study quoted - on workers in a battery plant - those with shorts on
got more lead than those with long pants.

Dear Ron,

Well...my friendly ten Dollar bet, is that 'sweat' would
effect more absorbsion through the skin than would 'dry'
skin...of some ambient Oxides, compounds or what of Lead,
especially as they may themselves ( otherwise) be dry.

How could it not? Not merely for it's 'wet', but for it's
chemistry and electrolytic influence upon, or confluence
with, whatever Lead compounds are present on one's Arms or
torso.

If this vector were ommited in these 'studies', I wonder
why-ever so?

Labour or Work may occasion perspiration, if not for
'scientists' per se, or those employed to make 'studies',
which may account for the omission? - but for many whose
occupations may involve Lead in some form, as the fellows
engaged in the 'Battery' reclaimation chores as was
mentioned...


I do not believe Rodents are understood to sweat.

Actually...if memory serve, Horses 'sweat', Gentlemen
perspire...and Ladies glisten.

Either way tho'...

My bet it that it makes a difference...

Yes?

Hi Phil,

I thought of sweat as well but it is not mentioned in
Mononas write up. The
tests were done on rats and factory workers were sampled. I
would not be
surprised if sweat was involved but I don't think it is
necessary - do rats
sweat?

An interesting technique I thought - tape applied to workers
skin exposed
to lead compounds - top skin cells stick to tape - so as the
skin layers
come to the surface you can sample those deep layers as they
come to the
surface. As soon as the tape is removed more tape is applied
so lead can't
get on that part and give a false reading.

So lead was found in even the deepest layer - and correlated
with each
workers blood level.

I misquoted when I said shorts - I should have said short
sleeved shirts.

Phil,

Look to Dr. Gary Young's work on essiential oils. He says the skin is the
largest absorbing organ of the body. He, in fact, with his research team
the researcher who broke the blood brain barrier with essiential oils
showing how certain oils (I recall it being high oxiginated ) can be
absorbed through the skin and make its way to the brain.

Tony


Thank you.

Thanks Tony,

This is insteresting...

I will save your mention, but I am so swamped with the
efforts to merely make ends meet, I have little occasion to
educate myself anymore...or to read and look into things
much.

Sheesh...

Sigh...
