gadolinium

[Guest guest]

My son had an MRI one year ago and when I received the results of

his urine element clearance, done in Feb. of this year, he was off

the charts in gadolinium. From what I have read gadolinium is given

when someone has an MRI. It is used as a contrast agent to detect

tumors. I would hope that my son was able to get rid of the

gadolinium in a year but is it possible that he was not able to

excrete it? The normal person gets rid of it in 24-48 hours.

Before I even knew that a child could be heavy metal toxic, my son

is almost 10 years old, I would tell my husband that our son was

toxic with something. I just knew. We are talking 9.5 years ago

when people talked about toxicity behind closed doors. I guess what

I am getting at is, if my son is holding on to gadolinium for an

entire year and he was given so little, he must truly be a toxic

dump.

thanks for listening

That is the unfounded MD superstition chanted by the people who give

MRI's. I have no reason to believe it is based on anything like

research.

very possible. The urine test shows that he is excreting it NOW.

The MRI is a likely reason. The only other reason I can think of

is if there is some OTHER source of current exposure for him,

which seems pretty unlikely. Gadloinium is not even in my

vocabulary!

um, maybe it was not really " so little " ? I dunno.

As for whether he is a toxic dump, you can do a hair test to see

if there are other metal issues, or not.

Hello & Group,

My husband also has heavy metal toxicity. According to our

integrative health care physician, when lead and mercury are

high, they prevent the body from dealing with other "agents".

My husband's gadolinium is "off the charts" from an MRI done

August, 2009. We are currently going through IV chelation for

both lead (EDTA) and mercury (DMPS). Once those levels have

decreased, gadolinium will also go away.

I'll research alternatives for gadolinium and post to the group.

I know this is off topic, but it does pertain to MS.

I had a toxic metals hair analysis done 6 months ago and the

Gadolinium reading was very high.(after MRI procedure)

I post this topic not only to seek info, but also to inform

fellow group members about the concerns/risks of this toxic

material.(google and learn more)

Thanks

Hi ,

I used the site below to search for an "integrative health care"

physician.

Naturopathic Physicians are also a good choice, but not all states (USA)

allow ND's to administer IV's.

http://www.acamnet.org/

Left click on "Public Information" and select "Physician+Link".

My husband had only one amalgam filling and that needed to be removed

(using a specific protocol) before starting mercury detox (DMPS-IV).

After the filling was removed, our Dr recommends a vitamin C IV the

same day, as well as DMSA capsules, all to ensure no additional mercury

gets into your system. Yes, mercury is a difficult critter to get rid

of.

DMPS is actually a "push" and takes only a few minutes. You can't take

any supplements (containing vitamins/minerals) day b4, day of and day

after DMPS or the DMPS will get all used up on good stuff and not do a

good job of binding to mercury. Do need to take Vit C supplements.

EDTA for lead doesn't require all of the additional steps (as DMPS).

Please let me know if you need any additional info.

Hi Fran,

Thanks so much for the reply.

Although my lead levels are low, the mercury detected in my

system

is in the cautionary level. My gadolinium reading is also off

the charts.

Do you know what kind of doctor I need to find in order to

receive

IV chelation? Also, does your husband have amalgam fillings?

I do have them still, so I wonder if it would be counter

productive to

chelate prior to removing the amalgams.

Thanks Again,

to detox mercury look at iodine.there is a special group.all heavy metals leave the body easily when the body is alkaline

All 7 of my brain MRI’s, every 6

months, were with contrasting dye! Yikes! Something to ask my LLMD about in

May….

Thanks!
