Those behind the In-Justice for Srila Prabhupada Fib-Site don’t seem to have any sense of reality. They refuse to engage in a serious dialogue and just keep publishing absurd and irrelevant material intended to confuse the public.
If nobody knew how to use cadmium as a poisoning agent in 1977, how could Srila Prabhupada have been poisoned by it at that time?
What follows is a timeline that illustrates the history of when cadmium was discovered and the major milestones relevant to our inquiry. An objective person can easily understand how absurd it is to think anyone could have intentionally chosen cadmium as a poisoning agent in 1977. It appears the Poison Advocates are just too brain dead to understand this point which explains all the absurd and ridiculous things they have been posting!
How could Tamal Krishna Goswami know
what he was doing in 1977 when the medical industry reports, thirty-six years later that
they were still very uncertain about the way cadmium affected the body?
I am not sure what your point is?
You have provided absolutely NOTHING new in your post.
Pease explain yourself?
How does your point “The challenge to the cadmium assertion begins with the research revealing that no one had ever used cadmium to intentionally poison someone prior to 1976!… ” ?
Btw, it’s not that I’m either pro/cons theory since it requires deep study and time which I rather spend reading Srila Prabhupada’s books.
The whole issue could be similar to the “fall of jiva” problem…

When was the first recorded case of intentional cadmium poisoning?
The earliest recorded cases of intentional cadmium poisoning occurred in the 21st century. Unlike accidental exposure, which has been documented since the 19th century, deliberate poisoning is rare and not recorded in historical accounts.
The earliest documented intentional poisonings with cadmium include:
2003: A Pinellas County, Florida, man named John Creamer was charged with first-degree murder for allegedly slipping cadmium into his wife’s drink.
2019: In Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, Germany, a man named Klaus O. was sentenced to life in prison. He had been secretly sprinkling cadmium and other toxic heavy metals on his co-workers’ food for several years.
2019: A Berkeley, California, engineer named David Xu was charged with attempted murder for poisoning his co-worker’s food and water with cadmium over nearly two years
Haribol!

Quick timeline with sources
1817 — cadmium was discovered (Stromeyer and Hermann) as an impurity in zinc compounds.
Encyclopedia Britannica
1858 — the first health effects of cadmium exposure were reported (respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms among people using cadmium-containing polishing agents).

1919 — first experimental toxicology studies on cadmium.
PubMed
1940s–1950s — reports of kidney damage, bone effects and the mass environmental poisoning in Japan (itai-itai disease) brought cadmium toxicity into sharp public/scientific focus after World War II.

If you want, I can pull the original 1858 report(s) or the key papers (1919 experimental work / the itai-itai investigations) and show exact quotes and dates.
