You're right. I love the panic it ensues on the members hahaha.
Above 60ug in your blood and you may exhibit lead poisoning symptoms. Above 80 and you are screwed.
To put this into persepctive there was .13 ug found/cap LMAO.
While I do agree with most of what CM says, and have learned A LOT from him, and by all accounts I really don't know what I'm talking about and just making do with what research I can do, the total lead content does still concern me for the following reasons:
1. Lead has a half-life of 25 days in blood, 40 days in soft-tissues, and up to 10 years in teeth and bones (which may still spread to soft-tissues through blood as soft-tissues & blood levels clear out).
2. As such, by my calculations (not taking into account the rate of elimination), it would take 461 capsules to reach the 60 ug. After considering elimination rates, it seems 600 capsules would do it (which is a little less than 7 full bottles).
3. The instructions say 2-4 caps per day (many people only seem to see the "-4 caps per day" part), so that means 150 servings would do the trick (which equates to 112 servings per 4 week cycle-or 1.5 bottles). Getting pretty close to that 60 ug limit. Now think about all the people out there that would run it until the last .5 of the bottle was gone (68 caps; 180 total).
4. The currently accepted adult blood-lead values are < 25ug (with a biological exposure index (absoulte maximum level) of 30ug/dL). Chelation is automatically implemented @ 45ug-69ug, with hospitalization >69ug<--Wikipedia
4. How much lead is in all of our other supplements (especially protein powders-recall the study done showing HIGH levels of lead in many different brands of protein powders (especially Muscle Milk). And water. And pre-WO drinks.
For all of these reasons, I see an extreme possibility for people to hit that 60ug (even the 80ug). Now I do know that 7 bottles is A LOT even for the retards out there. However, with the extremely long half-lives and clearance time, I think it is unreasonable to not be at least a LITTLE concerned (though I couldn't care less about the Superdrol content-it's not like you didn't expect to be taking something "harsh" in the first place LOL!). I have made it a personal mission of mine to avoid heavy metal poisoning if at all possible LOL! Anywho, I'm not a doctor (or a researcher), and I'm definitely not trying to start an argument with CM-I've learned A LOT from him. I'm sure there is a good explanation out there explaining why this situation is not as dangerous as my research seems to suggest (research studies and government agencies are so biased it's sickening). I would even actually put Monsterdrol-XT in my arsenal had I actually known about the product in time (even "knowing" what we "know" now!) I'm just saying that this lead thing is getting out of hand. It's popping up in everything lately, which makes it so much more dangerous. I am definitely looking forward to responses on the subject, and subbed!

P.S.
Sorry for the long post, I'm not very good at putting my thoughts on paper (much less debating). Thanks for understanding!:wall:
