At the start of 2023, it is worthwhile to go over the critical aspects of treatment of Gadolinium toxicity (GDD) and by extension all other heavy metal toxicities (Deposition Diseases). 1, Do not receive additional exposure to the metal causing toxicity. This is the principal treatment. For Gadolinium: no more GBCA injections, for other metals: remove yourself from exposure (eg: no more eating Kale if you have elevated Thallium). 2. If you are significantly sick from the meta
