Dr Catriona Walsh helps people suffering from toxicity caused by MRI contrasts. Using diet, lifestyle and supplements, she helps them recover their health.

Dr. Walsh is a graduate of Cambridge University, England, and Queen's University, Belfast. She practiced pediatric medicine for a decade and a half. While working as a consultant pediatrician, she developed a fascination with nutrition and lifestyle, and how they can improve the health of people suffering from chronic illness.

Her experiences with chronic ill health led to a diagnosis of hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). EDS is an inherited connective tissue disorder. During investigations for hEDS, Dr Walsh had a contrast MRI. She still suffers the toxic side effects.

Following her experiences with MRI contrast toxicity, Dr Walsh authored the book:

Contrasts: More than meets the MRI –

Demystifying the Devastating Damage Due to Gadolinium Contrasts and Some Natural Steps You Can Take to Reverse Those Dreadful Effects Using Diet and Lifestyle

She now works as a Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach with people from all over the world.

Mollie Brewer is an advocate against Gadolinium contrast agents. After she had a contrast MRI to diagnose a brain tumor, her health went downhill fast. She had multiple scans and became bed bound. She recently found a chelator that has helped her tremendously called NBMI. She is now working to restart her life before Gadolinium took it away.

She runs the website mridye.com. Her website is a great source of information for anyone looking to learn more.

Thousands of years ago, Chinese medical doctors looked at earthworms. Seeing them burrow through the earth, they hypothesized they might do the same in the human body. Today, a potent earthworm extract does just that. Lumbrokinase helps bloating, chronic lyme, blood pressure, and blood flow to organs.

Lucas and Brion also discuss Corona/Covid-19. The beer virus can be conquered with the right supplements. But the bigger threat is the supply chain disruption to society.
