Arcane Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Or it could do the opposite: [url="http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/20031012195753data_trunc_sys.shtml"]http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/20031012195753data_trunc_sys.shtml[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 wow...i was wondering about the legitimacy of the MSN one, my guess was that the study was most likely done by the CDC, FDA or some other gov't agency that is completely non-smoking biased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSmokes Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 In my professional opinion, it all depends on your lifestyle. Especially that of your diet. When you smoke, I know it depletes nutrients from the body. I don't know all of the nutrients, but if I can recall properly, I believe you are depleted of vit C. So making sure you get plenty of vit C to conteract what you are losing is a great start. Being active also helps. But since most people are on the SAD (standard american diet), they are likely to have more negative effects from smoking than those on a good diet (paleo diet, raw diet, or a mix between raw and cooked [80/20]). There are terrible sources out there and I can't find all the data I need to make a better assessment as to how the body reacts to tobacco smoke sadly...just a bunch of people being paid off to say it causes lung cancer and heart disease when they really don't pinpoint why that is exactly. If it increases homocystein levels, I can see heart disease being a problem, but that just means you'll have to increase your B vitamins. I'm a natural health care provider and from what I've seen in research and various books, almost all dis-eases come from nutrient depletion over long periods of time. When those nutrients are restored to optimal levels in the body, the body can heal itself and reverse apparent "irreversible" diseases and cancers.

Skoozle Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Could you develop a hookah vitamin that replaces what we smoke in a session? Better yet, a flavorless tobacco add-in that balances out the negative effects of hookah. Edited February 8, 2012 by Skoozle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] lol I'll get right on that...as soon as a smart researcher comes along and can give me the proper information. Right now, you can take vit C though.

[/quote] this is interesting, i never noticed that they never told you why it causes heart disease and lung cancer just that it does. Never thought to look into it but it makes complete sense. And yes it would be awesome for an add-in lol but like he said just needs someone to do an unbiased study that is legitimate. Also on this topic i take vitamins everyday (as i am a vegi) and Vitamin C is always one that i take every morning...with this i might add B vitamins to my normal list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
