Gadolinium is a toxic rare earth metal commonly used as a contrast agent in medical scans. Doctors love it because it makes bones and muscles glow in the dark. However, autopsy reports have proved that the body retains gadolinium for years!     Many patients experience severe symptoms after gadolinium injections without knowing the root cause. Unfortunately, no FDA-approved cure or antidote is currently available. Today’s guest is among the people living with the effects of gadolinium poisoning.      Debbie Heist Lambert, founder of Living with Gadolinium, has spent thousands of hours researching this condition that caused her near-death experience and dementia. She shares valuable insights on the symptoms of gadolinium retention, such as brain fog, neuropathy, bone pain, autoimmune diseases, and skin conditions.      Debbie advocates for patients to exercise their right to informed consent before a gadolinium injection. Affected patients need proper detoxification and chelation to relieve the symptoms, and they need community support.     Tune in to learn about the types of medical scans that use gadolinium and your options as a patient.        “If you've been injected with gadolinium, you're retaining some. Whether or not you have a lot of symptoms and a lot of problems, that's to be determined.” -  Debbie Heist Lambert   Today's Episode Explores: - What is gadolinium? - What are the symptoms of gadolinium toxicity? - Advocacy and support for gadolinium toxicity patients - Types of medical scans that use and don't use gadolinium  - Why patients develop severe gadolinium-related issues  - A patient’s options when getting a medical scan - Challenges in the diagnosis of gadolinium poisoning - Detoxification and treatment options for gadolinium toxicity  For more information, visit www.myersdetox.com/gadolinium     After listening to this episode, you might be wondering about heavy metals.
