Heavy metals in the body turns out to be an entire field of science/medicine, and we are just now scratching the surface. I came to recognize this importance in treating GDD and looking at 24 hour urine reports in reports that list 20+ metals... Everyone has atleast 5 heavy metals (read 20) retained in their body, 100% have lead (Pb). These metals on their own have the prospect for Deposition Disease, and almost certainly they interact with each other in the patient's symptom

There are two elements to treatment for GDD (and actually all of the heavy metal Deposition Diseases) 1. remove the heavy metal, and 2. control the immune response of the host. Background. Choice of Chelator This critical point: the chelator used must have a high stability for the metal chelated. The stability constant should be known between chelator and the metals that are being chelated. To illustrate: EDTA has a stability of 17 (10 to the power of 17) and DTPA has a stabi

The standard chelation strategy we use, also from the start of our clinical efforts is: Ca-DTPA day 1, Zn-DTPA day 2. We use a more simplified strategy than in our initial publication in Investigative Radiology, in part so it can be replicated at all centers. Patient seated in reclining chair 1. 1 liter Normal saline bag. 2. iv start 22-24 g catheter. 3. start iv at medium pace. The concept is the full liter should go in over a 1 hour period. 4. May start with iv immune dampe

Two of the most motivated sufferers I know have told me, if someone really wanted to get treated, they would do whatever they had to do to get it done, to get treated- that is what they did, and they are largely better. Unfortunately that is not often the case, many sufferers fall into the state I call the inertia of despair. Many aspects of GDD conspire against sufferers, high of the list: brain fog; constant pain; loss of income; and the isolation of being not believed by p

I have been asked on a number of occasions why do I use the terms Gadolinium Deposition Disease and not Gadolinium Toxicity or Gadolinium Poisoning. I usually respond: GDD is one of atleast 3 Gadolinium toxicities, the other 2 Acute Hypersensitivity Reaction and NSF, so although toxicity is correct, toxicity is a larger umbrella. Poisoning carries with it a more hostile implication, that may suggest deliberate injury ... which I do not want to convey, also because no health c
