The Issue

  • I am petitioning for complete removal of gadolinium use in the United States, and Implementation of alternative contrast dyes.
  • Governmental & FDA funding to help rehabilitate individuals whom have been poisoned by the use of this drug.
  • Access to "compassionate use" HOPO, emeramide,  and DTPA chelation without cost to the patient. At the cost of the government. As this stems from negligence. 
  • ICD diagnostic code for condition. Insurance codes created.
  • Insurance and government payment for "Comphensive Urine analysis test" for individuals whom may have gadolinium toxicity poisoning. 
  • Requirement that health-care insurance pays for any additional costs associated with the therapy.  Currently Chelation Therapy, which is not covered.
  • Requirement that health-care insurance pays for 24-hour urine catch associated with heavy metal toxicity.  As well as hair follicle testing. 
  • Research & advancement into alternatives to use for MRI's which require a contrasting agent. 
  • Create a contractual clause barring any FDA members from current or future ownership is any aspect of pharmaceutical company 5+ years.
  • Financial reparations for toxicity poisoning victims, correlated to standard of living lost.
