Within the smoke of that cigarette that you are putting to your lips is a toxin that is so rampant; it can affect you even if you are not the one smoking. Many of us in the alternative medicine arena have warned our clients, friends and family about this toxin for years as it is one of the foremost causes of heart disease and Alzheimer’s. Finally, a recent investigation has generated more proof on what we have all been saying all along. For many years, it was thought that peripheral arterial disease (PAD) was caused by the smoke or nicotine from cigarettes. It was a big surprise to the scientists who studied a group of smokers that this was not the case. The smokers with the majority of artery damage were those that had high levels of lead and cadmium in their blood. If truth be told, those who possessed the highest blood levels of those metals were approximately three times as likely to acquire PAD!

The scientists deduced that the lead and cadmium in cigarette smoke injures the lining of arteries, generating more prominent disease. Bottom line—it is not the smoke that does the damage, but the chemical and heavy metal content. Sadly, it does not take much of these heavy metals to trigger health problems. Medical researchers discovered that PAD was linked with lead concentrations that were merely 13% higher on average in contrast to people without PAD. Similarly, the cadmium levels were roughly 16% higher in people with PAD than in those without it.

The bombshell is that the highest levels in this study were well BELOW what the medical establishment considers SAFE!

You are getting enough of these heavy metals from your environment as it is, so smoking is just making it even worse. For example, the ceramic mug you are drinking your tea out of more than likely has lead in it; and if you are not picky about making sure that the candles you burn are made out of beeswax and have cotton wicks then you are burning wicks that raise the concentrations of lead in the air by 36 times what is considered safe by the EPA.

If that is not enough, cadmium can be found in the processed meats you eat, batteries you use, in some instant coffee, galvanized pipes and the list goes on and on.

Traditionally, people who were interested in removing these heavy metals from their bodies were guided to chelation therapy. Now, there is something less invasive and more effective in the fight to combat the onslaught of toxic substances. It is easy, very affordable and effective. It is something that I have used on children as well as my 89 year old Father.
