I found an article about the calcium-lead thing:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2007-10-28-lead-bone_N.htm
Since lead circulating in the blood seems to be more detrimental than that stored in the bones, I would think that taking calcium to keep the bones from leeching lead, and taking C to help get rid of whatever gets into the blood, would be a win-win. But I really don't know, which is why I ended up deciding not to do anything about it for now, especially since I'm not even sure it's a problem I have to begin with. I think I did see something about x-rays being able to detect lead in the bones.
