What are the symptoms?  --  All of the above!

Again, seriously, I never was aware that I had any symptoms.  It was only
when the good doctors started searching for posible causes of  early
prostate cancer that the tests were run pointing to cadmium as a possible
cause.  Cadmium is a very persistent substance.  It just doesn't go away.
Luckily, the Chelation treatment does manage to put the stuff into solution
and into the blood, so that the kidneys get their chance to get rid of it.
Though I was never aware of any problem, I'll have to admit to feeling
pretty darned good since the treatment --for a guy who will be 80 next
month.  With lots of nutritional advice, lots of anti-oxidants, the old
P.S.A. is dropping every time it's checked.  Looks like I should be around
to enjoy those old radios for quite a while, yet.

And cadmium in a mineral supplement?  You're not mixing it up with good old
calcium, are you?  If there is any, I'll bet that it's in awfully small
micro, micro sized amounts (For those people who don't clean up enough old
radio chassis!)  Yeah, and remember when it was so much fun to play with
mercury!

                                        Ed - Who built his first radio in
1936 with parts from discarded "first generation" old radios!
