The US Drug Watchdog Calls Gadolinium A Train Wreck Involving People With Kidney Disease, MRI's, & A Horrible Disease Called NSF

The US Drug Watchdog is calling for a national consumer alert for US citizens with kidney disease, MRI's, a specific type of imaging dye called Gadolinium, and an incurable disease called NSF.The cause of NSF is unknown but it has been reported only in patients who have severe kidney disease. NSF causes fibrosis of the skin and connective tissues throughout the body which results in skin thickening that may prevent bending and extending joints, resulting in decreased mobility of joints. The US drug Watchdog is saying, with twenty plus million US citizens with kidney disease, and gadolinium still being used in MRI's, we fear there could be thousands of NSF victims out there. NSF may be the most under diagnosed serious disease in the US." Possible victims of NSF should contact the US Drug Watchdog at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via their web site at Http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
