Gadolinium the new problem

[BaronofHilliard]

I have been having pain right after a series of MRI contrast. Every other test has been clear. I have been pushed about as if I am crazy. Is it that every authority on the subject of MRI's and gadolinium regurgitate what has been written. Has the medical community completely shut off their cognitive reasoning.

Yes it is true gadolinium is non-radioactive. But that does not mean it is safe. Gadolinium is a lanthanide. It is a heavy metal. It has a few properties when its temperature changes and when exposed to magnetic waves. It has to be chelated when injected into the body. Why? BECAUSE IT IS TOXIC in its free state. Mercury, lead... heavy metals as well.

Chelate is when the a bond is created between 2 things. Your body chelates iron in your blood. It removes things by chelating. There are chemicals that when added to things can make them somewhat safer. DTPH-gd3 or something like that is gadolinium with DTPH. The DTPH chelates to the gadolinium and makes it soluable in water and keeps it under wraps. It flows in your blood and creates outlines that are viable when exposed to magnetic waves.

Here is a FACT. Some people suffer from a rare condition that when given gadolinium their calcium levels drop. This is because the bond created with the DTPH prefers things like calcium and zinc. When it drops the gadolinium for these other metals you know have free gadolinium. Everyone no matter who will have a certain level of this problem. And consider that not every batch of the chemical is perfect. People with kidney problems are unable to remove the gadolinium quickly. DTPH-gd3 have a half-life of 2~3 hours, which means that in that time 1/2 of the gadolinium is removed from the body. The bond in Omniscan and the like is not really stable and breaks down quickly. This means that if you are unable to remove the toxin in a certain time, the greater your chances of having more free gadolinium in your system.

I was fine till after the MRI's contrast. I keep hearing the same thing. Just because the FDA says one thing and that it has been used since 1988 and on millions of people means absolutely little. The ADA still says mercury fillings are great, and they make 5 million in royalties every year dispite the younger generations of dentists who refuse to use it and all the evidence to the contrary. I could go on, but because it is prolific does not mean it is 100% safe.

People have different levels of tolerance. People with good kidneys remove the waste rapidly, however, some will de-chelate. You will get some in your system.

I know the literature I have read it. I have talked to "professionals" but no one can answer me intelligently. The companies that produce these drugs make money. It does not benefit them to start a discourse on its possible failures. I am an econometrician. I understand statistics. The tests done can be made to say anything. Depends on what you leave out.

Fact
gadolinium is a heavy metal

Fact
It must be chelated to be put into the body

Fact
I can de-chelate and will do over time.

Fact
Everyone who gets gadolinium will have some in them

question
How do you remove it?
Can your body remove heavy metals on its own?
What can we do to help remove it?

I read one study and only one where the author claimed that gadolinium is removed from the body at less than 1% per day. Is this true.

If you know of a good resources post it.

Thanks.


This discussion is related to MRI of Brain and spine w/ contrast.

Where did you go GenaNorris?

anyone successful in removing heavy metals form body, and improving with it?

[GodsKidPita]

Our gadolinium issues are making progress in the medical community. A doctor out of NC had named it GDD!  Gadolinium depository disease. People are finally listening...I hope!

[rocky545]

GodsKidPita, how are feeling now,   can you help me out what to do for tests and to remove it from body.

[GodsKidPita]

Rocky, I have not made progress personally.  I think I may have found some new resources though.  I will certainly keep you posted.  Be well, pray always!

Andrea, there is a group on FB called Gadolinium Toxicity Illnesses.  People are telling their stories.  See ProPublica's recent articles.  Left in the Brain: Potentially Toxic Residue from MRI DrugsLeft in the Brain: Potentially Toxic Residue from MRI Drugs.  I was featured in the article.

Join the FB group Gadolinium Toxicity and Illnesses.  Many have been harmed.  We need to organize and force change.  Sorry you are so sick.

Hi, Toniwah1.  There is a FB group called Gadolinium Toxicity and Illnesses.  There is good information on it and people are organizing to force change.
