# No CT Contrast is Toxic Not Necessary — Faith11 2022-05-10 19:24

My doctor never wanted any contrast in any of his studies he considered it highly toxic. He would order studies without it. A new safer contrast is being used it is manganese based or get a Tesla 3-D MRI or ask for an ultrasound. X-rays have radiation and if you get a bunch of them it is cumulative, then you have to chelate the radiation.

Some say it is useful for coronary artery disease.

The X-rays will do some cellular damage but I have heard of no way to undo that - the cells will be replaced in time in theory. I think taking nutrients, vitamins, and minerals may help that process

A lot of people haven't received the memo yet or they are just blocking it out:

They WANT you dead and they are trying to kill you.

Time to wake up and smell the coffee, people.

Reimbursements will go down, no raises, the little guy goes home.

# Confirmed — ChristianProChrist 2022-05-10 16:56

Wife is a RAD-Tech, Alaska and Washington State are both confirmed short on Contrast Dye.

# Confirm — beth_mccanna@hotmail.com 2022-05-10 15:52

I can confirm this. My son-in-law is an ER physician in the south, and said they have no contrast dye now at all. Which is a very bad thing. As someone else said, this is just the beginning.

Which dye? Iodine or Gadolinium based dyes? If it is gadolinium (radioactive), even in low dose can concentrate in the brain and cause lifelong debilitating problems for many people. No big loss - use iodine.

Trade with the ChiComs should be as stringently regulated as trade with the USSR was.

I.E....largely an embargo.

Cut the cord.
US manufacturers get 24 months to comply (an aggressive but doable timeline). They can pay taxes in perpetuity on what they leave behind.....or dynamite it.

So sad......
We have armies of Russian and Ukrainian paid posters.

But our Chicom representative is a fucking moron
Wake up 'Wendy'......spew your shit. You;re behind the curve.

Iodinated contrast dye contains iodine and is used in most CT scans and other types of imaging involving X-rays.
Could this be prep for Nuclear war? Shortage of Iodine? Just a question.

# RE: Iodine — Faith11 2022-05-10 19:26

Iodine or manganese contrast is the best and safest choice. It is good to know this stuff before you arrive to the doctors office so that you can request what is safest

# Absolutely! — ldx 2022-05-10 17:39

You got it.

Contrast dye is poison....and CT scans are now the "go to" for everything that comes into the hospital. My boyfriend was given 4 CT scans in 1 week when he had stage 4 cancer. What were they really expecting to find different from the scan he had just one day earlier? I strongly believe all of that contrast in his system contributed to his death. They did do one scan without the contrast dye (because they already did one scan with contrast that same day)...and when I compared it to his other scan with contrast, it looked almost identical. I think it's just one more way to poison us.....if God doesn't want me in heaven yet, He will find a way to heal me. We need more prayer and less doctors.

Yes… contrast dye is VERY HARD on the body… especially the kidneys. Anyone with any type of kidney dysfunction SHOULD NOT take contrast dye as it can send a susceptible person into renal failure and dialysis.

+1 # Over-Used — aun7bd@gmail.com 2022-05-10 09:40

It’s over-used, ER doctors will “actually” have to apply medical knowledge & practice medicine. The use of CT and it’s contrast should be limited to patients who actually needs it, for radiologist to determine the pathology. We all know the CT contrast is bad for the kidneys. But is sure makes a lot of money for the hospital.

The US has been needing to be completely independent from China for a long time. Only two presidents tried to sound the alarm over the years but nobody would liste.

Folks this is quite literally just the damn beginning - so get a tight hold things are going to get so, so much worse!!! Make sure everyone continues sitting back, doing NOTHING as we do Best.
