My name is Clare and up till June 2024 I was a healthy, active veterinary nurse who ran 5 times a week. I suffered a blow to the back of my head and subsequently had three MRIs with gadolinium contrast dye to see what was going on.

Unfortunately after my first MRI, symptoms dramatically. I developed severe neurological issues and cervical spine instability. I then was diagnosed with dysautonomia and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and slowly over the following year and a quarter my connective tissue began to be destroyed.

After having no luck with the NHS, I turned to the private health care sector and through various lab tests was diagnosed with gadolinium toxicity and have also picked up aluminium toxicity along the way, as have multiple genetic defects leading me unable to detox efficiently.

Sadly, my health has massively deteriorated and am in severe pain with neurological and cardiology symptoms worsening daily. I am unable to work and now in a wheelchair.

The only treatments for this is intravenous chelation and phospholipid therapy to bind the metals and excrete them via the kidneys and also inuspheresis which is a form of blood wash. This is not available on the NHS and has to be done privately.

Chelation therapy is likely to cost £160 per session over many many months and inuspheresis £3500 and will need 2 to 4 sessions.

Many many people have been affected by gadolinium toxicity and is not removed from the body after 24 to 48 hours, as literature suggests.

I also have lost nearly all my immune cells through this poisoning and have mitochondrial damage and fatty oxidative stress disorder and am losing weight rapidly.

If anyone can help or share, this would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
