But when I grew up, I quit. I haven't smoked a joint since 1973. When I had my first TMA in 1993, I was shocked to see I was toxic with a metal called strontium. I asked Dr. David Watts, my mentor and the man whose research forms the basis of my program, how could I possibly get this strange stuff in my system. He started to laugh.
Strontium is a byproduct of marijuana smoke.
One of the reasons I didn't get rid of my strontium was because I became a vegetarian for 10 years thereafter. Unfortunately, the body can't mobilize heavy metals unless you ingest an adequate amount of lean protein. The protein molecules act as a transport system and move them from their storage areas in your soft tissues. They then flow through the digestive tract for excretion. Since I had given up all animal protein, the vegetarian protein wasn't enough to wrestle with my strontium deposits.
