MRI and Ultrasound tests

[Guest guest]

I'm having to have some tests for back and kidney, still from

car accident.

I already know ultrasound does horrible things to me, but gotta have something

to check it, and that seems the least damaging, if I don't have a stroke from

it.

Just had MRI of back, the immediate effect was bad, but not as terrible as I

anticipated, although the same ongoing after radiation effects as I get from

xray are following at a somewhat lower level, no surprise, since they do the

same thing, only rate is different.

Since this seems to come up for us a lot here, I thought I'd post a couple

things I've found.

I had a disagreement with kidney Dr. (don't know if she really is, she works in

urology, but who I was referred to.) who wanted an MRI or Cat done. Said I

wouldn't do those due to the radiation. She argued that MRI has no radiation. I

told her it did. Obviously she does not understand what radiation is, but then

that's not her area either.

Also said I did not want the radioactive gadolinium. (Did not need that for

back.)

Besides MRI working on the gigahertz frequencies, and doing the nasty things it

does to cells, and the gadolinium also being highly oxidative and hard on the

kidneys, it seems odd to me a kidney specialist, or any doctor, would want to

order tests that are most destructive to the very organ that may already need

help.

So here, for anyone considering MRI or ultrasound in the future:

Your next MRI could cost you your life

....U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced that these drugs

will now require a black box warning label--the strongest in the

industry--because they can cause a rare, and sometimes fatal, condition known as

nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD)....

Rather than pull the drug, the FDA is requiring stronger labeling that instructs

physicians to use the drug only on patients who have healthy kidneys. It also

instructs physicians to screen all patients for kidney disease prior to

administering any gadolinium-containing drugs.

Back in 2006, the FDA announced that it was aware of gadolinium's dangers...

No mention of any pretest for safety to me, or anyone I know of. And if it is

that toxic, is really smart to use it on people with no kidney problem, knowing

the harsh effects it has on them, much less the rest of the body.

And here's a bit to consider on ultrasound tests. This pertains to everyone, but

especially us even more, that have the brain sensitivity too. (It also can raise

bp afterwards, especially in women, and cause massive pressure in the head - I

experience that after just 2 minutes of it, starting quickly after sitting up,

it last for hours, and stroke is a real possibility if you have these effects,

and may not happen for days afterward, but build up to it. The BBB I have read

can take at least 5 days to recover from ultrasound exposure.)

Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption By Low-Frequency Ultrasound

A recent study showed a dramatic increase in cerebral hemorrhage comprising

atypical locations with low-frequency ultrasound–mediated recombinant tissue

plasminogen activator–thrombolysis in humans. ...

It indicates that the observed excessive bleeding rate with low-frequency

sonothrombolysis comprising also atypical locations (like the intraventricular

or subarachnoid space) might in fact be attributable to primary disruption of

the BBB.1...

Furthermore, ultrastructural animal studies have, among other mechanisms,

proposed endothelial injury with high power, but partly opening of tight

junctions already with low-power insonation.6...

There may be times these tests are truly medically necessary, but the majority

of them are not.

In fact I just read somewhere yesterday, Chicago, and then other parts of the

country will be cutting back on radiation test, and the doses, and some agency

will be monitoring, starting ?soon. Sorry, I don't think I saved the story.

Last, if you want a good visual picture of what these things are doing to your

cells, on a smaller scale, besides altering polarity, and remembering also, we

are mainly water, watch this:
