Dr Blanton has been telling our patients about the Dye that is used in MRI’s for years!! It is a well known side effect that the body can’t get rid of. We normally refer our patients to get an MRI without it! 😳🤷‍♂️

🚨Toxic metal used in MRI scans can leave dangerous nanoparticles in your body – even after a single scan.

Here’s what scientists found.

A new study from the University of New Mexico has revealed that gadolinium, a toxic rare earth metal used in MRI contrast agents, can form dangerous nanoparticles in human tissue — even after a single dose.

While gadolinium is usually administered in a "safe" chelated form to help visualize organs during scans, researchers found that it can break free and react with oxalic acid, a natural compound found in certain foods and supplements. This reaction creates toxic crystalline nanoparticles that can accumulate in the kidneys, skin, heart, and lungs, potentially triggering severe inflammation and immune responses.

One of the most alarming findings is the link to nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) — a rare but devastating condition that can cause skin thickening, chronic pain, and organ failure. “People have succumbed after just a single dose,” said lead researcher Dr. Brent Wagner. Nearly half of the patients studied had only one exposure to contrast-enhanced MRI. These results may explain why some individuals suffer long-term complications, despite minimal exposure. Scientists are now developing a global registry to detect gadolinium traces in hair, urine, blood, and nails, with the goal of identifying those most at risk and improving future safety protocols.

Wow!!

Since it entered its first boom in the early 1990s, the field of spine surgery, and specifically spinal-fusion surgery, has faced criticism over lackluster outcomes, excessive procedures, and conflicts of interest. Throughout the last couple of decades, many studies have found that surgery isn’t effective in the long term at treating back pain without a clear cause, and the number of revision operations for spine surgery is higher than those of other orthopedic surgeries.

Despite that, rates of fusion surgery in the U.S. ballooned more than 200 percent throughout the 1990s, and the number of instrumented spine surgeries being performed annually has nearly doubled since 2013. There have never been as many spine surgeries as there are now and perhaps never so much mainstream conversation about them.

Much of the criticism throughout spine surgery’s history has come from surgeons disillusioned with their field. Last year, Jonathan Choi, an MIT-educated spine surgeon, went viral with a video in which he laid out his reasons for abruptly quitting his job and moving to the mountains. “I knew something was not right, right away,” he said into the camera. He described a bad spine as a house with a leak. “The surgeries that I could do were like going into that house, tearing down the drywall, ripping out the moldy insulation, putting in brand-new insulation, and rebuilding the wall,” he said. “But not fixing the leak.”
