QUESTION: Different asbestos mines produce asbestos containing different lead levels 26 Mar 2008 British Columbia, Canada

I was a research microscopist in forestry technology. When the research center I worked in closed I retrained as a Live and Dried Blood Analyst. It was extremely fortunate that I did this because I had to use it to define what was causing my left side paralysis and nervous system damage that was diagnosed as MS. It has taken me 5.5 years and much testing and experimenting to completely identify all the toxins I was exposed to in my careers, not the least of which was lead, most of it being lead from asbestos.

What I discovered recently is that chrysotile asbestos contains varying amounts of lead depending on where it is mined. I found this out when I took Canadian and Rhodesian UICC chrysotile samples with me for Vega Testing to see if I had asbestos toxicity. I tested toxic for the Rhodesian chrysotile. This got me wondering what the difference was between the 2 asbestos samples. The difference was the levels of lead. I have documented what asbestos looks like in phase contrast and dark field modes and what it looks like in the blood. All components in the asbestos appear in the blood. The problem in the body appears to be that when the asbestos is separated into its magnesium/silica and lead components the lead is not removed but continues to build up and circulate in the body unlike the magnesium/silica that is eventually removed through the skin. So in reality the asbestos problem is a lead problem. When one considers that 3-5 million tons of asbestos a year were/are mined then it is not hard to see this could be a huge problem. I have also documented what happens in the body as lead levels increase. I have also found fairly safe ways of removing the lead. Other than for the unfortunate individuals I have seen who have been affected by lead and asbestos most people don't seem to be concerned with this information although they claim to be representing the cause for asbestos or lead. I thought I would try again and see if I get a response. I would be quite happy to send a CD with the images I have if you are interested and can give me an address to mail it to.

Further I was wondering if by any chance you people have come across information documenting lead in asbestos. I have hunted all over the internet and have found not even a whisper that this may be the case, except perhaps for the disbanded Canadian Asbestos Institute that claimed an undefined purity for the Canadian asbestos. Indeed it does have less lead, but is that good??
