Warning about metal

You're seriously going there, Rigwyn?

The facts are simple. Volki is offering unsolicited medical advice, which, as he's no physician, is not only stupid but outright dangerous. Scaring people with cries of big corporate conspiracies to sell their precious Gadolinium on the back of the small man is lunacy. By all means, he did not even present evidence. So right now, this looks like yet another looney thread which no one should take serious, with Volki's reaction proving it's probably more about trolling people into not getting the diagnostics done they might urgently need.

My dig was more about the rampant misquoting. As for medical technology, I don't know crap about it, so I'm staying out of this one.

Big corporate asshattery is no conspiracy theory it is well established fact. Pharmaceutical companies regularly promote their wares for off-label -- read unapproved -- uses. They extend their patent profits by a process of incremental claim registration and tweaking formulation molecule by molecule.

This conversation is helping nobody except the terminally bored and even they are barely interested.

It still does not change that your claims are unsubstantiated and are going against common medical practice. Contrast is often necessary to better diagnose a patient, and currently it seems that Gadolinium is the safest option. There's lots of physicians who say anything, what matters is the scientific consensus. You are clearly not establishing any facts towards that, so your claims are little more substantiated than those of bogus warnings and cures and should be ignored.

Right, right. They should probably scan my head, of course they shouldn't lack on the contrast
