Leaded Gas Shrunk IQ of Americans

 [00:01:08]   A recent study by Duke University shows that individuals who grew up in an era of leaded fuels, may have lost some IQ points due to lead exposure.

[00:06:51]   Not all lead you are exposed to will stay locked up in your body forever. Bone tends to sequester lead depending on the type of bone for a few years or a few decades, but in other tissue systems half-life is much shorter, in the order of weeks and months. There are changes that result from that lead exposure, which is not fully understood.

[00:09:32]   Lead exposure is a plausible risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

[00:11:06]   There are events that leads to lead being rereleased years later, like events that lead to bone turnover, pregnancy, menopause, osteoporosis etc.

[00:12:43]   Sequestered lead could be rereleased later and become a new source of exposure during times in your life when you are going to be less resilient.

[00:14:32]   Exposure is going to fluctuate based on characteristics that cannot be controlled, such as the location of your house being in or near a high traffic zone.

[00:15:10]   There are tools to estimate how much lead bone has been exposed to over the proceeding decades.

[00:16:00]   The distance living from a roadway has now been robustly linked to risk for diseases of aging brain and the big diseases of neuro development.

• Every major organ system studied so far has shown to suffer from exposure.
• The brain is extra susceptible to air pollution because pollution particles have been observed transducing along nasal nerves directly into the brain.
• This is one hypothesis about why people living near busy roadways or air polluted areas are more likely to have psychiatric problems.

[00:22:07]   There was a cumulative number of 849 million IQ points lost over the period that leaded gas was used. The formulary to get to this number as well as discussion around the exposure differences in different communities, follows.

[00:34:25]   Even though lead has been done away with in 1996, residual lead is still everywhere.

[00:35:51]   Some statistics and interesting facts around lead still occurring in blood levels “seasonally,” ensues.

[00:41:00]   An explanation of what IQ really is, follows.

[00:43:53]   A study in rodents proved that innate intelligence is passed along epigenetically. There are epigenetic signatures of lead exposure, and this is valuable to use in determining what the lead exposure to an individual was in their childhood years.

[00:54:17]   What can a person do that will help displace lead's uptake and protect them from whatever lead is actually in their body?

• Chelation therapy and then blood donation to follow.
• Reduce exposure to existing lead hazards, like evaluating your water and installing a charcoal filter.
• Nutrition in general does seem to play a roll, it seems that a more calcium-rich diet keeps the lead out of bones.

Life-Changing Herbs

[01:05:09]   Pine Pollen has been used as a food supplement in China for thousands of years.

[01:05:40]   According to research it has exactly the same DHEA, Testosterone and Phyto-androgen molecules as in the human body, in trace amounts.

[00:53:40]   It can be taken alongside traditional testosterone therapy and provides several vitamins and minerals as well.

[01:09:00]   Pine pollen is more modulating to the hormone system than something direct and reductive, like just taking testosterone.

[01:09:35]   Logan explains how Pine Pollen powder is prepared and then goes on to describe the difference between the powder and the tincture.

[01:12:21]   The dosage is flexible.

[01:13:00]   One of the big benefits of the powder for both men and women, is raised libido.
