This is a very informative article written by a devotee called Narendra. He proposes that an alternative explanation for the alleged high cadmium reading in Srila Prabupadas’ hair could be do to the fact that HDG used it to keep him awake in the early mornings of the day when He translated. What is particularly appreciated is that Narendra has enough sense to understand how ridiculous it is to give any credibility to the Poison Conspiracy. Knowing that he looked for other possible ways to explain the alleged high reading of cadmium which became the focal point for this ruse after the first version alleging arsenic failed so miserably. While all of this research is welcomed… this site offers many alternative convincing reasons to reject the claim entirely that Srila Prabhupada’s hair was saturated at astronomical levels of cadmium deposits.
