Dear Bearpaws
As you have not been well since taking the contrast medium, have you tried taking the contrast medium in potency - eg 30C?

I would like to add an additional caution regarding MRI's. Many if not most brain MRI's are done with contrast to enhance the images. The contrast dye contains the toxic metal Gadolinium. It is chelated in the dye and supposedly passed in the urine within a few hours in persons with normal kidney function. However I am living proof this is not the case. Four 4 years since my last MRI with contrast I am still 4 times the reference range. I am on another message board for people who like myself have retained Gadolinium in spite of normal kidney function. I am not an isolated case. Some chelating agents are stronger than others. Once the Gadolinium is free it is highly toxic. Heavy metals are known endocrine disruptors. My autoimmune system is a mess. It has altered my entire life. I now take every opportunity I get to warn others.
