• It is not always verified information but a base, a beginning, for your own studies. Nowadays one has to make one's own studies. We seldom get this kind of information from authorities any longer.

• I am not a doctor and the advice below does not replace professional medical treatment in any way.
  
• Anybody who has a serious disease ought to start to study about his/her disease especially alternative methods. The alternative methods aim to make the body heal itself with God's help.
  
• Not just take away the symptoms only, like very often with Allopathic medicine.
  
• But always discuss treatments with a real doctor, natural or allopathic, preferably both kinds of doctors.
• All cures work best with a healthy lifestyle in general eating much raw fresh organic vegetables and some fruits, enough exercise, detoxification when needed, enough rest, fresh air, avoid toxins in food, drinks and environment and minimize stress.

Cadmium is a highly toxic element. It is a cytotoxic (kills cells) heavy metal with an extremely long biological half-life (200 days). High exposures can cause severe lung damage, nausea, salivation, vomiting, cramps, diarrhea and death. It can be delayed for several hours. Repeated lower exposures can result in permanent kidney damage, emphysema, anemia and/or loss of smell.

In the good old days 20-30 years ago especially red and sometimes yellow plastic utensils used in the kitchen could contain a large amount of cadmium. Root fillings contains lead and cadmium. 

It has been found in children's toys, raincoats and backpacks made of vinyl and PVC according to a GreenPeace investigation. However Greenpeace is not very trustworthy according to many articles, 1, 2  3. It could be that Greenpeace are right, but it could also be that they want to confuse the public which makes the whole thing even more scary. Fact remains if it is easy to avoid it, try to avoid it. At least until we know more 

The Fluoridation treatment agent solution for drinking water has at least in one case contained not only Fluoride according to an article about a paper prepared by Lucifer Chemical Industries, Ltd.. It also can contain heavy metals like Lead, as well as Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Iron, Iodine, Mercury, Selenium, Silver etc. and also Uranium and Polonium according to the paper 

Organic heavy metals from plants, fruits, herbs are not poisonous. Planting herbs, sunflowers etc. on soil contaminated by heavy metals can be a way of getting rid of the contamination in a simple way. Some poisonous metallic metals are needed by the body in an organic form, e.g. Arsenic in an exclusively organic form is needed 12 mg/day by the body for growth, heart and fertility. 

Cadmium can make a person sick at once. Death can follow within hours. However most damage can be hard to detect. Different persons react differently. It can take many years if the person does not do anything about it, but even extremely small amounts are dangerous for children especially. It is often difficult to pinpoint exact reasons for symptoms whenever they occur. But a urine test of cadmium levels can be a good indication. Our goal must be to minimize all kinds of poisons since it can be too difficult to eliminate poisons totally.

Before the Day of Judgment there will appear (a number of) impostors. You are to guard against them. (Sahih Muslim Book 19 no 4483) 
 
Narrated Abu Hurayrah:  While the Prophet was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle continued his talk, so some people said that Allah's Apostle had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Allah's Apostle had not heard it. When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who inquired about the Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)" (Hadith recorded around 1300 years ago by Bukhari in Volume 1 Book 3 no 56)
