RSNA Press Release
Contrast Agent Linked with Brain Abnormalities on MRI
Released: December 17, 2013
At A Glance:
Researchers have found an association between a common contrast agent and abnormalities on brain MRI.
Researchers compared unenhanced T1-weighted MR images of 19 patients who had undergone six or more contrast-enhanced brain scans with 16 patients who had received six or fewer unenhanced scans.
The findings may suggest that the toxic component of gadolinium may remain in the body even in patients with normal renal function.
Contrast Agent Linked with Brain Abnormalities on MRI
Released: December 17, 2013
CHICAGO – For the first time, researchers have confirmed an association between a common magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent and abnormalities on brain MRI, according to a new study published online in the journal Radiology. The new study raises the possibility that a toxic component of the contrast agent may remain in the body long after administration.
Brain MRI exams are often performed with a gadolinium-based contrast medium (Gd-CM). Gadolinium's paramagnetic properties make it useful for MRI, but the toxicity of the gadolinium ion means it must be chemically bonded with non-metal ions so that it can be carried through the kidneys and out of the body before the ion is released in tissue. Gd-CM is considered safe in patients with normal kidney function.
However, in recent years, clinicians in Japan noticed that patients with a history of multiple administrations of Gd-CM showed areas of high intensity, or hyperintensity, on MRI in two brain regions: the dentate nucleus (DN) and globus pallidus (GP). The precise clinical ramifications of hyperintensity are not known, but hyperintensity in the DN has been associated with multiple sclerosis, while hyperintensity of the GP is linked with hepatic dysfunction and several diseases.

High Signal Intensity in the Dentate Nucleus and Globus Pallidus on Unenhanced T1-weighted MR Images: Relationship with Increasing Cumulative Dose of a Gadolinium-based Contrast Material
Conclusion
High SI in the dentate nucleus and globus pallidus on unenhanced T1-weighted images may be a consequence of the number of previous gadolinium-based contrast material administrations.

Fighting for her Life
June 11, 2017 --
Full Measure has learned the FDA is planning a public meeting as it grapples with a little-known but serious risk from a common medical procedure: MRIs. The danger comes from an injected chemical agent a heavy metal called gadolinium used to enhance the images. Doctors used to think it was quickly expelled from the body.
It turns out that's not always the case and it makes a small percentage of people very sick, as it did the wife of American icon Chuck Norris.
For Chuck Norris and his wife, the nightmare began when Gena had three MRIs in one week to evaluate her rheumatoid arthritis. The MRIs triggered a cascade of mysterious health issues that nearly killed her.
Gena Norris: I was in the emergency room for like 5 or 6 nights in a row and the symptoms had continued to get worse and worse. And by the fourth, fifth, sixth night, the burning just kept traveling and I would go in and they'd say, well what's wrong with you? And I'm like I, I don't know. I don't feel good. And I'm just, I'm burning. I, that's all I can tell you is I'm burning all over. I feel like I have acid everywhere in my tissues, I'm just, I'm on fire.
Doctors tested her for everything from cancer to ALS, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis, but were mystified. Gena began a desperate search and turned up published literature and patient accounts pointing to one thing: poisoning from a substance injected into her before the MRI. It contains a toxic heavy metal called gadolinium.
Gena Norris: When we got to the hospital in Houston this last time, and I'm so bad and I said, listen, I am sober enough in my thinking right now, because I had such brain issues going on, I said I'm only going to be able to tell you this one time and I need you to listen to me very closely. I have been poisoned with gadolinium or by gadolinium and we don't have much time to figure out how to get this out of my body or I am going to die.
Chuck Norris: I can take her anywhere in the world, I'm blessed enough to have the money to do that, but where do I take her?
The answer was alternative medicine in China, where these photos were taken and before that, at a clinic in Reno, Nevada where Gena received intensive treatment for gadolinium poisoning and slowly came back to life.

MRI Injection Side Effects
Various side effects have occurred in patients after the use of gadolinium during MRI scans. The FDA issued a black box warning to gadolinium based contrast agents (GBCA), namely Magnevist, Omniscan, OptiMARK, MultiHance and ProHance. After an MRI, a healthy person’s kidneys should flush out the gadolinium. However, MRI patients with kidney problems have reported the development of the potentially deadly nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), also known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy, a disease that causes tightening and swelling of the skin. Symptoms can appear days or weeks after contact with gadolinium.
Symptoms of this dangerous disease, linked to Gadolinium MRI Injections include:
Burning, itching, swelling and tightening of the skin
Raised yellow patches on eyes
Red or darkened skin patches, papules or plaque
Muscle weakness
Sharp bone pain
Hardening of internal organs
Inability or difficulty walking or extending arms, legs, hands or feet

I wish to share something with you and if you wish could you share with your friends and anyone you believe would be interested and maybe support me, here it is; by Derek Morrison.
As many of you know I am traveling to America next month to hold a Vigil outside the White House on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Australians that have been seriously harmed with a too toxic x-ray dye please see at the bottom of this post one of the promos being used America wide.
Here is that piece being used America wide
WHAT IS ADHESIVE ARACHNOIDITIS?? JOIN Derek Morrison ON HIS VIGIL FROM AUSTRALIA TO WASHINGTON DC AS HE MAKES THE WORLD AWARE OF THIS CHRONIC DISEASE AND THE HUGE MEDICAL COVER UP.......Adhesive arachnoiditis is a disease of the spinal cord (cauda equina) in which the nerves of the spinal cord become inflamed and swollen, tethering and adhering themselves to one another and the dural sac which encapsulates the entire brain and spinal cord. A specific membrane of that sac (dura) called the arachnoid membrane becomes permanently injured, and a form of chronic spinal meningitis occurs. This leads to weakness, paralysis, spasms, electric shocks and 24/7 intractable pain. The sufferers of this disease are left with life changing injuries that affect the central nervous system throughout the body, including bladder/bowel disfunction......There is no treatment or cure at this time for this disease...which leaves sufferers often wheelchair /house bound and some bedridden and requiring lifelong medical care.
AA is a silent epidemic. Enhanced MRIs are now diagnosing more and more people who previously went misdiagnosed.
One major cause of AA has been elucidated through the hard work and nearly 2 decades worth of investigation by AA warrior Derek Morrison of Australia. His work has identified one major cause of AA; a contrast agent used in spinal cord imaging and sold worldwide.
His work has identified one major cause of AA; a contrast agent used in spinal cord imaging and sold worldwide. His work has unearthed information that shows that the manufacturer knew of its risk, knows of the tens of millions of worldwide victims and is now doing everything it can to keep its negligence under wraps. Mr Morrison has seen some success in Australia regarding this, including an admission that these specific contrast agents have caused an epidemic of harm.
Now he is taking his findings to the world. Follow us as he posts his journey to the front gates of Washington DC, where he will attempt to bring awareness to the risks associated with these agents, the responsibility and negligence of the manufacturer, and the ongoing need for financial support needed by those whose lives have been ruined by such practices.
Join us as we root for Derek as he crosses the ocean for Washington DC August 27, 2017.

ARACHNOIDITIS AND CHEMICALLY INDUCED ADHESIVE ARACHNOIDITIS IN AUSTRALIA THE DIFFERENCE AND CAUSE
What Doctors and treating Medical Specialists are NOT telling you is that the past X-Ray DYE used in your Myelogram or diskogram was way 'too toxic' for human use, and such injection caused your suffering today, its called Chemically Induced Adhesive Arachnoiditis but they wont tell you that. Furthermore, it was used ILLEGALLY HERE in many Hospitals and X-Ray Clinics throughout the Country. Below is HOW it happened here but it also happened in 107 Countries and later in my blog I will share with you how it happen in your country, although what you read here would have happened also in your country, to find out apply under FOI to your Dept of Health and your Government. Oh, if you are having difficultly reading this due to it being in English, go to Google Webpage Translator and convert to your language. God Bless
