Gadolinium Deposition and Toxicity: Humanizing a Life-Changing Event
By Debbie Heist Lambert
This book offers a patient perspective on gadolinium deposition and toxicity, humanizing this life-changing event through personal experiences shared by patients from around the world. The heartfelt stories in these pages represent real examples of adverse reactions and events following one or more injections of GBCA (gadolinium-based contrast agent).
Through these personal accounts, the book provides insight into the signs, side-effects, symptoms, and associations that patients report, highlighting what industry knows and doesn't know, where gaps exist, and where to go to learn more. The authors hope these stories will create new awareness and generate open dialogue about the use of gadolinium in medical imaging.
The book emphasizes the importance of #InformedConsent, #Truth, and #Transparency as gold standards in healthcare. It reminds readers that gadolinium is a toxic rare earth metal with no biological reason to ever be found in the human body, and encourages patients to ask questions, be curious, and be advocates for themselves and their loved ones.
