Important Petition to the FDA, National Institutes of Health and others
A petition drive to Stop the Damage and Find a Cure for Victims of MRI Contrast Toxicity has been started at change.org. The toxicity comes from the gadolinium that is retained from Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents (GBCAs) administered for contrast-enhanced MRIs. We hope all of our readers will sign the petition and then tell all their friends who will sign it and then tell all of their friends. With today’s social media, we have a chance to get the attention of the FDA and other decision makers around the world.
The petition was started by MedInsight Research Institute. https://medinsight.org/ and specifically by Moshe Rogosnitzky, the co-founder and Executive Director. He is an established research scientist and medical innovator whose pioneering work has resulted in the development of new treatments for various types of cancer and auto-immune diseases. We have been in touch with Moshe since late 2015 when he first contacted us about gadolinium toxicity issues.
His blog post announcing the petition drive “What price will we pay for the FDA’s faith in Gd?” lays out his case for why various actions regarding the use of Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents are needed now. He covers many of the points we have raised and brings new insight as to why the FDA, NIH, WHO, and other organizations worldwide must Stop the Damage and Find a Cure for Victims of MRI Contrast Toxicity, the headline for the petition.
Please take action now and show your support by signing this petition at Change.org.
One man’s struggle with Chelation
(A PDF of this Viewpoint is available for download.)
This is a re-written version of some emails that I have sent on the subject, so please read it with that in mind. They were addressed to several people in the MRI-Gadolinium Toxicity Support Group.
A word before you read this. I usually do not post this kind of thinking on the support group because many people hold out chelation as their only hope. I do not want to squelch their hope and I do not just want to be negative on it. As you will see below, I have tried it and decided that it is not for me. So I just tell my story. Everyone has to make their own decisions.
Let me provide some background. My last contrast MRI (of 8 in total) was in October 2009 when I had three contrast MRIs within a two-week period. (more…)
Ideas on getting a Gadolinium Urine Test
I did Genova Diagnostics through my local Health and Wellness Dr. But there is a web site that I would not be afraid to use because of the way the process works.
The Dr. just gives me a box with everything necessary including instructions for how to do it and how to FedEx it in with a prepaid FedEx label.
