Turns out I had lead poisoning 2

I was doing turmeric in my morning shakes which had wheatgrass, amla berries, turmeric, black pepper, and beets. Along with a multi
It tasted horrible but made me feel great. I eventually stopped after 6 months because screw supplements. I am trying to get into the habit of just eating whole foods.
Anyways, I have been getting more irritable here and there but shrugged it off. My cousin recommended I get a check up from this naturopath because this lady is apparently a genius
She gave me a full battery of tests. a more in depth mineral and vitamin deficiency test than a physician would, heavy metal panel, and cortisol test
the heavy metal test came back as high lead. Apparently turmeric is cut in indian villages with lead by poor farmers trying to make ends meet. theres no regulation on it
I did one round of chelation with DMSA and my libido increased. a second round and more libido. I am finishing the last round. Turns out this lead has affected my libido and mood for a while.
EDIT: anyone else had heavy metal poisoning?

That's fucked up. I recall back in December, Morrowasted wrote something about just that and I stopped buying turmeric as a precaution (would give it to my dogs). Crazy to hear that you genuinely got poisoned by it. You should report it to the distributor and the FDA, lead poisoning is nothing to fuck around with and if you went through the medical process of getting tests done you have a lot of stuff to bring attention to it perhaps.

raw turmeric? be careful with the imported bulk spice, a lot of it is intentionally contaminated with a form of lead that makes the orange look brighter and more appealing. I used to use it every day and when I stopped I actually felt better. raw turmeric is too expensive for me to use like that

I actually will toss mine out. Mind you I was eating a tablespoon per day. thats quite a lot
I am indian. the amount my parents use for cooking is much smaller. So here and there I fail to see the issue. Especially if I am staying at home for the weekend
But I probably should report them actually

Lead is not a food additive at any dosage. If you got genuinely poisoned from consuming a lot, eating less of it is still poisoning your parents if it's the same supply. Lead is toxic at every dosage and builds up in the system overtime.

Was this turmeric you bought in India? I don't think anyone can get away with selling lead cut turmeric in America. Lead cut turmeric is darker orange than the yellow real turmeric from what I remember seeing

its turmeric. I bought a huge bag from US but most of it is imported into the US from India
I am home for the covid lockdown so my parents are getting more high end turmeric. its a different source. but maybe upon thinking about it I will go turmeric free. avoid it completely

Yeah lead doesn't go away, that's why it's so heavily scrutinized now.
So I'm curious about this treatment OP went through.

I see.
I never knew about such a thing. But then I've only read about very acute lead poisoning.

I don't think you can report it to the FDA, because they don't regulate supplements. For that reason I don't take any of that stuff. You don't know what's in it, and there is nothing scientific backing up any claims to it's benefits.

Yep. My piss smells heavy like fart. Apparently the sulfur in the dmsa grabs onto it and sucks it out of you
