Patient's question:
My daughter is 3 years old now. Last year, she had a trace element test using her hair, and it was found that her lead level was elevated. Currently, she is taking 8 boxes of Goji Berry Jujube Oral Liquid. The first two times, due to insufficient dosage, the lead level did not decrease and even slightly increased. Please advise if she still needs to continue taking it this time.Doctor's answer:
We can eat more foods that can reduce heavy metal content. Such as milk, barley, corn, and other foods rich in dietary fiber. This helps reduce and prevent the production and accumulation of toxic substances. Eating more tofu can help lower the concentration of lead in the human blood. Researchers still do not know how tofu reduces blood lead levels. However, they suspect that calcium ions in soy products may inhibit the absorption of lead, thereby strengthening lead protection. High blood lead levels can lead to intellectual decline, damage to nervous system development, affect growth and development, cause hearing abnormalities, and reduce learning ability.
