Patient's question:
Height: 56 (Normal 0-100) for over a year, uncertain about past treatment and effectiveness: Taken Sochi MT, seemed to have some effect. What kind of assistance is needed: Does this medication have side effects? For young children...Doctor's answer:
Blood Lead Standards in HumansInternational Blood Lead Diagnosis Standard: Equal to or greater than 100 micrograms per liter (μg/L) is considered lead poisoning. Normal Blood Lead Levels: 0–99 μg/L (L). 100–199 μg/L indicates lead poisoning. 200–249 μg/L indicates mild poisoning.
Since lead's metabolic pathway in the body competes with calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium, a diet rich in these nutrients can increase lead excretion. Milk, in particular, contains proteins that can bind with lead in the body to form an insoluble compound, significantly reducing the amount of lead absorbed by the body. Additionally, vitamin C can form low-solubility lead ascorbate salts in the intestines, which are then excreted through feces, further promoting lead excretion in the gut. Therefore, consuming vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C is also beneficial for removing lead from the body.
Foods rich in iron and zinc include: kelp, animal liver, animal blood, meat, eggs, etc. Chitin is the only naturally occurring positively charged substance and is an ideal food for lead detoxification. Foods rich in vitamin C include: rapeseed, cabbage, bitter melon, kiwi, sea buckthorn, jujube, and pomelo.
