Biographie de l'auteur

Buerger's Disease; Thromboangiitis Obliteran; and sometimes called The Smokers Leg or The Jewish Disease; I have suffered with Buerger's Disease all my life. I was born with second hand smoke being blown on my face, everyday. And only in 1982 when I lost my second leg to smoking that I was able to quit smoking and I got my life back. You can only get Buerger's Disease if you smoke - the two are related. Where it comes from is still not known. But we do know it affects men between the ages of 25 to 45.

Of course stoppage in smoking will reverse the spread of this disease any further. But the already affected area it is to late. Unfortunately if you are a smoker you can't tell if you have this disease. Buerger's Disease starts doing it's damage from the bone out. And usually by the time it surfaces as ulcers on your extremities it is too late. Stopping smoking will only stop it from getting worse. Once the damage is done, it is done. Our government has known about Buerger's Disease since at least the second World War - why wasn't anything done then? Why where labels not put on cigarette packaging then?
