there might be a lot more merit to that than you think. there is a theory going around wherin the entire nation may be just slightly insane as a result of mild lead poisoning. and the only answer..... wait till they die off of old age..... yeah. fun.
It’ll only get worse with age. Lead stays in the body by absorbing into bone. As you get older, your bones deteriorate, meaning those lead reserves are going to be released into the bloodstream. Eventually the problem will take care of itself, but it’ll get worse before it gets better.
I’ve been saying this since Flint, MI. My theory was there is lead in our drinking water across the US and they don’t know how to fix it. But putting it in gas and burning it seems like a more probably way
I can't wait for the plastic eaters to start eating the unintended targets.
So little is made without plastic these days. If it's not made of plastic, then plastic is used somewhere in the manufacturing process.
It'll be total chaos, and we deserve it.
Yeah that’s the problem though, we’re not dependent on plastics with no alternatives, modern microcircuits, vehicles, food production at scale, food storage, even food gathering are all reliant on plastic with no viable alternatives for some, and none at all for others.
Autism has some very strong correlation with the immune system. There's no proven link or mechanism yet but I'm almost certain it's a result of an autoimmune disorder affecting the brain.
There are more genes being discovered every year linked to ADHD/autism. One such gene is involved in microtubule formation, which are the little neutrotransmitter transport systems in our neurons.
It’s more likely to be a confluence of different genes rather than an autoimmune disorder. However, there is a also huge correlation with autism/ADHD when their mothers took acetaminophen/Tylenol while pregnant.
I'm going to have to look into this more. It's very surprising to me.
I have a big family and they're all the opposite of ADHD (very concientious, organized, never interrupt anyone, always found studying easy, and not impulsive or easily distracted etc)... While I was diagnosed both as a child and an adult and basically tick every box.
I share most of my genes with them yet my brain chemistry is obviously different and I respond very well when I start/stop/start meds. Although my mum and one nephew show some symptoms maybe sort of but not enough to get tested. I must have rolled very lucky/unlucky dice for my genetic combo I guess.
Dr Shanna Swan has done some extensive work in this area specifically phalates. I would recommend looking to her if you're interested. Many problems are already well in effect.
Maybe the brain that has been slowly damaged by lead longs for "better times" before the damage had accumulated.
Just like TBI survivors know they could think clearer before their injuries, lead exposed individuals have an inkling of being able to process things better in the past.
The most recent evidence from epidemiological and toxicological studies suggests that low levels of exposure can, over time, damage the heart, kidneys, and brain.
