Lead in the blood test
My father is 81 years old
, having Diebetise since last 45 years .Last 3 years he had Parkinson symptoms. He had lot of Ayurvedic medicines during his life to control diebetise , strength etc .
We made blood test recently and surprised to see the lead in the blood around 150 . its out of range .
So the mind attack is due to lead issue or Parkinson.
We are giving Parkinson medicine but no improvement.
Currently We are giving him insulin injections to control diebetise etc .
Please advise

Parkinson’s usually effects elderly. Increased lead levels in the blood also risk for Parkinson’s. Both age and lead can cause Parkinson’s. So need to continue medicines for Parkinson’s and diabetes.
