Your ND is correct. There are thousands of lawsuits involving both the gadolinium and iodine contrast agents. Both HIGHLY TOXIC and for many people these substances do not leave the body for many reasons. Despite knowing the risks, I did go along with gadolinium 30 years ago and developed a painful connective tissue disorder.
Years ago they used to use a "non-toxic" contrast agent called Gallium. Though, this agent "cured" some diseases so they replaced it with Gadolinium (unbelievable?). I worked in Radiology 20+ years ago and remember the older physicians lamenting about how much better gallium was and what a crime that it was replaced with toxic agents.
Very difficult to "detox" from gadolinium. PREVENTION far better than trying to treat a serious health condition. Though, several approaches are used to detox gadolinium from the body.

Where is the pain? Is it at the injection site or somewhere else?

Get a bottle of Activated Charcoal and it should fix your problem. Remember, only take Activated Charcoal pills 2 hours after any prescription drugs. If you take it under 2 hours, the charcoal pills will kill the prescriptions, I know this will fix your problem.
Keep healthy

Got the vit. D3 in olive oil (liquid form).

Have been using castor oil packs and also got Traumeel cream and tablets which contains hypericum, though it is homeopathic concentration so very low concentration.

I do not have many answers for you. When I took the high dose vitamin D3 it was 10 -1,000 gel capsules after each meal for 2 days only. Then 10 - 1000 every weekday for good health. I always use Natural Factors brand where I live. It really worked for me and if you decide I know it will work for you too. One added tip is rubbing 1-3 drops of D.M.S.O. morning and night. They say out of all there is only 2 Miracles and D.M.S.O. and Food Grade Hydrogen peroxide are it.
Hope this helps

Does vit. D daily dosage depend on body weight?
Does it matter whether is taken with or without food and whether it is in liquid form or capsules? And does it have to be taken with some other supplement for absorption or just by itself?
Thank you.
Cortisone Shot
You're welcome!
The icing is very important as it is a very potent anti inflammatory and may be synergistic with the mag oil. That is why you see professional basketball and football players doing whole body icing after games, but in your case a regular ice pack will be sufficient.
Come back and let us know how you do.

The way I understood, you're experiencing an excruciating pain. So the remedies are to help you with the pain.
If your nerve(s) got damaged, there's nothing you can do as to pray your body would eventually heal it, the same with cortisone- it's not something you can remove from your body, your body would eventually remove it on its own. acupuncture is for the pain. Unfortunately, nerve damage is the worst kind of damage one can get, especially if it was damaged by a needle.
Lastly, LDN helps with many types of pain, but I don't know about nerve damage pain. Go to LDN research trust site and see if they list your condition. In any case you have nothing to lose. LDN is cheap with practically no side effects. Call a local compounding pharmacy and ask for the names of doctors who prescribe LDN.

Sorry to hear of your problem. Mag Oil is Magnesium Oil. Best thing for your nervous system is vitamin D3. Everyone in my opinion should be taking 10,000 ius daily Monday through to Friday and stop on weekends. High dose I took 10,000 3 times a day for 2 days when I had sciatica. After that, it never came back. I hope this helps you.
God Bless

A few questions please.
Can you please say whether there is any specific type or strength of Hypericum perforatum to get? How to recognize a high quality one to purchase and how to use it?
What would be the function of the Hypericum perforatum? Is it to help get the injection out of the system or is it for healing damaged nerves?
Regarding accupuncture, is that supposed to help in healing a nerve if it's damaged or is it for reducing pain?
Thank you

Mag oil is magnesium chloride oil in a spray form. Here is a link to a typical product :
Mag oil can help relieve pain and in some people can more specifically relieve nerve pain. It relaxes the muscles and in combination with icing is a potent anti inflammatory. A very non invasive inexpensive approach to see if it can offer you relief.

What is mag oil please?
Any suggestions on how to get steroid cortisone injection out of one's system?
Also any recommendations on how to check if a nerve was damaged and how to heal it?
Thank you very much.
Cortisone Shot
It is possible to hit a nerve with the injection, but it is rare and most common in people who are obese because it makes it harder to define and hit the precise target to avoid hitting a nerve.
Try icing the area of pain for 25 minutes three times per day for three days to see if that helps. You might also try applying mag oil to that area also for those three days.

Immediately after an injection in my tailbone, I started having terrible pain in the tailbone and surrounding area. Also tingling feeling in the back of the legs.
Due to pain, I have to lie in bed all day.
Any ideas on what to do?
Thank you
Detoxing Prescription Medications
I would begin with some dietary and lifestyle changes and a few supplements. It took years for your health to decline to this point, so be patient with yourself as you move towards better health.
Intermittent fasting with a whole foods plant based diet (dairy free, sugar free, and gluten free) will go a long way towards improving health. A friend of mine cured her diabetes and Hashimoto's with a diet that helped her lose 20% of her body weight. On the whole foods plant-based diet (without intermittent fasting, ) my husband dropped his cholesterol a ton, reduced his blood pressure, stopped snoring and lost 50lbs, all in about 6 months.
Intermittent fasting is simple but not easy. You will be hungry but your body will adjust. Drink lots of water when you are hungry. Choose an 8 hour window in which to eat, say 9 am to 5 pm. Eat nourishing foods and include salads and smoothies.
Find a way to increase your movement. If you are not up to taking walks yet, start with bounces on the edge of your bed and rocking in a rocking chair.
If you can take epsom salt baths before bed, do so.
A gallbladder flush should help the GERD and with some general detox, but I would wait until you have been on the diet for a month.
Some basic supplements to begin with would be vitamins C and D and turmeric.
Please keep us posted on your progress!

Can you please give any recommendations what to take. Thank you
Family history is a risk factor. However, FYI, 1) Sometimes you inherit it, sometimes you don't... please do not assume you inherited it. 2) Levothyroxine Sodium (Synthroid) is not a good drug, as it is a synthetic one that supplies only only ONE the much needed 4 hormones that the body needs. 3) There are lots of people who feel tired and miserable when they're taking this drug. 4) In the old days you had a choice; however, as of 2022, this is THE drug that just about every MD pushes for the treatment of hypothyroidism. However, 5) On the positive side, maybe you're not even hypothyroid; because, for an MD, it's easy to make a mistake, because the usual TSH hormone level test is not a good enough test for hypothyroidism. 6) Also on the positive side, cheer up, it can't be that bad; currently you're on an extremely low dose that should make little or no difference in the way you're feeling. 7) Also on the positive side, if you keep finding that (in the future) you really need some serious thyroid med, then you can always ask for a better natural thyroid product such as Armour Thyroid. I hope this will help you!
Levothyroxine
I took Synthroid for 3 months. I felt awful. Just curled up on the couch getting nothing done.
I quit taking it and felt better than when on it. Unfortunately, my thyroid symptoms got worse and intolerable.
I have been on Armour for quite a while. It definitely works better for me. I feel better now at 55 than I did at 45 for sure. Even though scans show my thyroid looks much better (nodules healed) I still have a return of thyroid issues if I don't take my Armour.
Everyone is different. This is just my little story. I know you are a researcher and take care of yourself. I trust you will figure out what makes you feel best!

Any thoughts?
Regular use of oral steroids can make it easier for certain fungus to grow. This is why some topical steroids incorporate antifungals such as Clotrimazole.
https://www.cdc.gov/fungal/infections/immune-system.html
Fungus infections can be quite itchy. You should let your doctor know so he/she can adjust your meds appropriately if fungus of any type is the cause of the itching. Another indication of fungus is an unusual odor, but this is not always present or easily detected.
Steroids can decrease redness and itching, but they do nothing to kill fungus.
Oral antifungals can be quite hard on the body including the heart liver and kidneys. There are potent natural antifungals that are not so harsh on the body and organs such as grapefruit seed extract which you can also discuss with your doctor as an option to try first if it is determined that there is fungus present.
Please update us on your findings!

Stomach Pain Remedies
Stomach Pain Remedies
Stomach issues while on medication. Hey everyone, So unfortunately I have to take a medication that is driving my stomach mad. I feel so sick and my stomach is so upset. Unfortunately stopping the medication is not an option. The doctor gave me carafate to take but I really don't like medications and don't want to add another. Besides the carafate isn't helping. I make sure to take the irritating medicine on a full stomach and I eat very healthy. I take a probiotic with every meal. I find myself chewing mint gum all day to help the nausea and upset hurt tummy. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would greatly appreciate any feedback you guys may have. I'm at my wits end. Thanks
Multaq
★★★☆☆
A month ago I asked my natural doctor to take over my situation and he is running tests. This week I told him that my Multaq is running out and should I continue? He said that is toxic and a patient came to him which had to go on oxygen to live. It was because the Multaq had him in pulmonary fibrosis and his lungs could not put oxygen into his body. It has nothing to do with his heart. Right now, I am certain that this is what has happened to me.
Good people, Rx have side effects that can kill you. He chelated out his patient's lungs and he is now not on oxygen. That is the reason we all go on EC because our medical folks do not know sheet from shinola. I have decided that I need a medical person that sees me often and not once ever 6 months to review my lab work. I hope this makes sense. I know I have no easy out. Don't have pluggage, but an electrical problem that can't be addressed with an ablation treatment.
I don't have the answer, but am searching as we all are. I am using my Quack Chelation Doctor to get me through this. By the way, he was a marine boot, so he is grounded. He is 73, and no spring chicken. I am certain, I have made the right choice for counsel.

I'm 57 and have been thin all my life now I've gained 25 lbs eating everything!!
Also when I first got my lung problems I had been sanding on wood that I had got out of the mud flats in the river, I got a bug in my lungs that within 6 hrs, from the little irritation in the top of my chest to totally cover my lungs and when I coughed it burned so bad and green stuff came up.I went to the doctor after a month when I wasn't getting better very fast and it's been down hill from there, three years.
Is there anything that might help?

I read and enjoy all your postings, and it saddens me to hear about your latest struggle. Since I'm a redneck from East Texas, I especially like your comments about your gardens and other outdoor endeavors. I would like to share with you something that has helped me and continues to do so. I have a pinched sciatic nerve in my back, and it was so painful that I could not walk, due to the stabbing pain in my knee. I read somewhere that in order to release that nerve, you can hang from a bar, like the ones used to do chin-ups from. Just let your body weight do the pulling on your spine. It only takes a minute and when you are finished "hanging, " the pain goes away within a few minutes. You could probably use one of those inversion tables to hang upside down, too. I can't use that, however, as I have glaucoma. Anyway, I hope for the best for you in your quest for a pain and illness free life. Don't give up!
Dilatin and Osteoporosis
"Live onnnnn, anyway---." Among the body of baptized believers in Jesus that I sup with, the term, "Live with it" simply means : "Stay as active as possible." To live with the problem, is to don't let it stop you from the good you can do. We often say, There are those who live for decades with what others die with".
The key is, "Don't worry, and don't live in fear." You are not given more time to fear. Chase it away with happy music, good thoughts, and good doings, think on these things. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and of a sound mind.
So we thank God for this day, this is the day the Lord has made. We take care of ourselves and stay healthy, so we can help others. We live, until we live forever!
Keep on Sharing, That's love.

For any progress to be made in your situation, you must, like in my case, be very objective. A few yrs ago proly not long after I came on board here, I knew without a doubt that I absolutely must adopt a method of "very smart & very aggressive"; no room for mistakes. Your hindsight review is a pretty clear picture of the problem, now you must apply a very exact solution.
It is an error in thinking that if one ever gets burned as in the case of certain dr's, to never trust them again. In this case it seems imperative to get those vertebrae back into alignment as much as possible, may take different dr's or chiro's but make great efforts to make some forward progress. I have run across an holistic osteopath some time back and think I mention him here once with a link. He has experience in several areas particularly sports medicine where it is very much about healing & repair, not living with the consequences. He has developed several effective nutritionals, including hormonal regimens and products that are likely some of the best of today. Give me a few days to find his contact and I will post it back to you.
Meanwhile, do reconsider the baths I mentioned as oral administration of nutrition is limited. My recent use of LET nutrition and mineral baths have proven this fact. Case in point, because of my extreme acidosis, it has been a major battle keeping radiation out of my bones, to this end I quit diary as it has small amounts of radioactive strontium. So, in addition to supplementing calcium, I started taking a supplement of Strontium, and went thru 2 bottles. OK, suspecting insufficient delivery, I purchased some Calcium as well as Strontium bulk powder for baths. After my first bath with Strontium I had some rather severe herx reaction as the radioactive stuff went out of my body.
For rebuilding the bones in particular, as I am sure you know, it is important to include all these minerals in your program: Calcium & Phosphorus, Magnesium, Strontium, Boron, Manganese, Silica. Vit-C helps with the collagen matrix. Lots of people are having good results with Hyuralonic Acid nowadays. Of course keeping inflammation down with Magnets and Turmeric will help much.
As for rebuilding muscle, bone, etc. You must adopt an aggressive protocol as the aging factor is against you. The combination of Growth Hormone stimulators and Testosterone stimulators is a must. For Testosterone there are a number of good herbals used widely by especially athletes and bodybulders as well as DHEA and the amino acid D-Aspartic Acid. For growth hormone boosting I take Raw Bovine Pituitary substance and the amino GABA with good results, and 50mg DHEA for Test.
To further activate the regeneration of new bone tissue, you will need to take Ostivone. A plant based androgenic substance discovered and used by the Soviets is 5 Methoxyflavone. Quality protein is also important. Red meat and Whey protein come to mind. A supplement of Arginine/Ornitine/Lysine is a big favorite for starters as it produces an adrogenic effect and boost HGH.
With a smart & aggressive program briefly mentioned above, I see lots of room for improvement, likely significant improvement.
There are more advanced healing modalities like stem cell and fetal cell therapies. Research Mesenchyme Therapy. I am a little uncomfortable with aborted animal tissue, but if the recipient lives a life worthy of the sacrifice it may be justified, and in comparison to the thousands of animals we consume as food, my goodness the slaughterhouse is booming. Anyway you take injections of the Mesenchyme and healing potential increases, and particularly along with HGH.
