Question from Laura
hello,
i have high levels of lead in my tissues, and am going through a slow and natural chelation process. in debra’s book ‘home safe home’ i found out about lead in old tubs.
recently, i bought a lead surface test kit online from pro-lab, and tested my tub. it turned pink, thus, positive for lead.
i love baths, but have been avoiding them since this discovery. i dont really know how much lead is absorbed through skin in water, do you? in your book it seemed to really effect the children in question.
i am a renter, so i think coating the tub with a seal would work. i havent done much research yet, but i wonder if anyone out there has. maybe afm safe-coat has a product.
any advice is appreciated!
Debra’s Answer
If you are detoxing your body for lead, I wouldn’t bathe in a tub that tested positive for lead. Bathtub glazes can contain up to 88% lead.
I don’t know of any sealant. A bathtub liner may work, but is very toxic to install.
Readers? Any suggestions?
