Paula, Out of the blue, with zero reference points, you told me something privately and i asked you what the connection of gadolinium poisoning had to do with covid times. I told you i had never heard of gadolinium. Since i had never heard of it i had never heard of gadolinium poisoning. You mentioned there was a problem with it. I said it was all new to me, and told you i hoped the incidence of people developing problems with the use of gadolinium in MRI imaging was very rare. Oh, i remember now i think i gave you an article on that. I didn't doubt for a second anything you you told me. I had no reason to, as you had just introduced the whole topic to me.
Let me be absolutely clear you had no reason at all to believe i doubted anything you said to me, so deliberately or no, your
"Public response to your privately expressed doubt... Fuck it... "
first bit there is a total misrepresentation of what i said to you. What was it about three short privates each? Yours there is a misrepresentation of our conversation. And i could only guess why you said "fuck it" with so much emphasis.
Moving on, this research supports what i told you i hoped. That the incidence of serious illness from gadolinium is rare. Like serious illness from covid vaccines has been rare.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and characteristics of adverse effects of low-osmolar iodinated and gadolinium contrast agents in a single-center experience with a large number of cases.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. A retrospective review of all intravascular doses of low-osmolar iodinated and gadolinium contrast materials administered from 2002 through 2006 was conducted. Adverse effects were identified through the use of radiologist and nurse event recording. Adverse effects were examined for type and severity of reaction, treatment required, and outcome.
RESULTS. A total of 456,930 contrast doses (298,491 low-osmolar iodinated, 158,439 gadolinium) were administered over the study period. A total of 522 cases of adverse effects (0.11% of total) were identified (458 low-osmolar iodinated, 64 gadolinium). The most common adverse effects were hives (274, 52.5%) and nausea (92, 17.6%). Of all adverse effects, 79 of low-osmolar iodinated and 15 of gadolinium contrast material necessitated treatment. Most treatments were performed in the radiology department alone. Only 16 cases of adverse effects necessitated transfer for further observation or treatment. Epinephrine was used to manage an adverse effect in nine instances. Thirty-two of the adverse effects of low-osmolar iodinated contrast material (6.9%) occurred in patients with a history of allergy who received premedication. Only two of these premedication reactions necessitated transfer to the emergency department. The one death in the study period occurred after administration of low-osmolar iodinated contrast material. The patient had no symptoms during the contrast administration or imaging but died suddenly within 30 minutes of receiving the dose.
CONCLUSION. Both iodinated and gadolinium contrast agents are associated with a very low rate of adverse effects. Most adverse effects are mild and can be managed in the radiology department. Transfer for additional treatment or observation is rarely needed.
I appreciate now knowing of gadolinium poisoning period. Then your post i read as you saying you are one of the very rare cases
"A physician that helped me deal with flouroquinolone poisoning said "don't get gadolinium". They gave me gadolinium in spite of my medical record... and then they defined my FQ poisoning as "self diagnosed" and it was not. My health deteriorated rapidly... This include mitochondrial affect which includes my ability to create taurine. I now must regularly supplement this chemical. That's all the evidence I need."
which does not sound good. On the basis of what i know to now, all i can say is good luck, and hope it isn't as bad as it sounds.
One more thing, if we ever again have a private conversation (it's unlikely now) don't then publicly misrepresent it as you just did.
PS: Out of interest i will look into your "UNM Doctor Researches Toxic Side Effects of Rare Earth Metal Used in MRI Studies Brent Wagner..." a bit more. OOi.
