What's the deal? MRI with contrast - putting you more at risk?

[Guest guest]

Anyone have any info regarding if having a MRI with contrast is putting

you more at risk? How would you detox from it, if so?

Deb -

From what little I understand about this contrast, the concern is with

the gadolinium injection. My docs look at my liver numbers before and

after getting this kind of MRI. I've not had problems with it at all,

but I use high doses of green drinks and sauna to help pull it out as

soon as possible. One doc told me it can take a week or so to leave

the body, but that's in a healthy body. So, I treat as I do any other

heavy metal in the body.

I always check the liver numbers though. A very dear man I know had an

unknown pre-existing liver condition, had this injection, and died

within days because of it. He's apparently not the only one this has

happened to, thus the lawsuits.

Thanks for the info! What kind of green drinks do you drink?
