Lead is
practically everywhere in today's environment. It enters our bodies
from many sources including defective glazes (pottery), drinking
water, contaminated soil, airborne particulate, leaded gasoline, paint
and several other sources.
Both adults and children can suffer from the effects of lead
poisoning, but child lead poisoning is much more frequent. Often
exposed to lead through lead-based paints, the effects can include
anemia, colic and even an impaired metabolism of Vitamin D.
About 1 in 22 children in America have high lead in their blood. |

FINDING LEAD IN SALIVA
Until now,
the commonly accepted way to find lead in humans was to test blood. A
recent study, however, clearly indicates that saliva can be an
effective medium through which body lead can be detected.
In this study, a patented methodology and process called “LeadFinder™”
was employed at Confirm Biosciences’s partner laboratory, Western Slope
Laboratory in Troy Michigan, to analyze the saliva of 100 children
living in North Carolina. At the same time, the blood of those
children was analyzed by the Department of Health in North Carolina.
By comparing the results of the two lead test studies it became
apparent that:
- Analyzing saliva is an effective means to establish body lead –
especially if this test is viewed as a “screening method” with the
recommendation of a physician involved in the event results exceed a
certain level.
