I am and just found out that I have off-the-chart levels of aluminum in my system. the reference range was anything below 35 was ok. I was 500.
My LLMD said they have never seen anything like that!
I was racking my brain trying to figure out where the exposure could have come from. I did spend many years in the darkroom and three years working at a photolab and wonder if this could be it.
Anyone here a photographer who worked in a darkroom or at a photo lab in the past?
thanks!

Hi Laura,
Check out this Site below, maybe its your water supply...
Deodorant contains aluminum too. Go to your health food store for alernatives.

yeah, that i am sure is a part of it and i will be switching, but given the exceedingly high number i feel like it has to be from something more than just deodorant, as did my LLMD. i can't help but think of the chemicals i used to be around so often when i was in the darkroom.
thanks for the articles steve!

Birth Control Pills, Antacids, Baby formula (soy), deodorant, cookware, or foods prepared in restaurants using aluminum pans.... can contain aluminum...we get it everywhere...these are just a few things that people don't think are harmfull, but do major damage.
