Podcast 459: Gadolinium In Real Life
MRI scans are a common medical procedure, with around 40 million performed annually in the United States. Approximately one-third of these scans involve the use of a contrast agents, which help radiologists obtain clearer images. But this comes with a steep cost. MRIs with imaging contrast agents inject gadolinium, a heavy and health destroying toxic metal into your body that can have devestating side effects. Today, we are sharing a heartfelt personal story about a young boy and his parents who have faced severe challenges related to gadolinium. They have navigated through the complexities of both the medical and court systems, and their journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride.

MARTIN: Hi everybody. This is Martin Pytela, Life Enthusiast podcast. And today I have with me Austin Sachs and Yü Xia, if I got the name right, Zhang?
CICI: Mhmm, yes.
MARTIN: And they’re actually married. And Austin reached out to me after our publication of the product that helps people remove Gadolinium, which is used as a contrast agent in some medical procedures primarily, MRI. This is probably not going to be an easy story to tell, but it’s well worth telling, and I’m going to hand my baton over to Austin and Yü Xia. Here it goes.
AUSTIN: Thank you, Martin. Just again, just to say my full name, just so people know, if they want to reference this court case in the eighth Judicial District Court of Las Vegas, Nevada. My full name is Kimbal, like the Piano. Kimbal Austin Sachs.
CICI: Hi, Martin. My name is Cici, and my Chinese name is Yü Xia Zhang. Okay, my husband and I married in 2016. We have had a wonderful, happy life before this case. Four years ago, this case broke our life. Almost every day we are involved in this case. We have to do our best. Finally, we found you. We are very happy to find some solution by your side. Thank you very much.
AUSTIN: This all started in January of 2019. And what had happened is I was on the East Coast for some dental work and we were living just, you know, we were living in Boulder City, Nevada, just outside of where Hoover Dam is. And I was working for the Bureau of Reclamation as a buyer for goods and services for the Hoover Dam, Parker Dam and Davis Dam. And so, my wife gave me a call that our son had fallen to the ground and got dizzy and that she had notified the paramedics in Boulder City.
