MRI & CT Scan Contrast Recovery Remedies
Posted by Den (EU) on 02/28/2025

I am going to get 2 MRIs and 1 CT scan with contrast. Up until now I managed to get all MRIs without contrast and refused CT scans. This time I need good scans to see what is going for I might have a silent sinus syndrome* which is corrected by a surgery only. My asymptomatic moderate chronic sphenoid sinusitis is also needs be investigated. Is there a way to minimize harmful effects of the contrasts? I usually get adverse reactions and side effects on pretty much every medication. Prednisone for example, nearly killed me.

I am going to take homeopathic remedies before and after the MRIs to restore polarity in the cells of my body, but don't know how to protect my body and brain from the contrast toxicity.

*A rare otorhinolaryngologic disease characterized by adult-onset progressive enophthalmos due to collapse of some or all of the maxillary sinus walls and remodeling of the orbital floor.

They ask you to not eat prior to a CT so that you don't throw up. Sometimes the dye causes nausea, some people get nauseous regardless. If you throw up, the machine is down for sanitation. That's the only reason to not eat.

Read these articles:

Sodium Bicarbonate Prevents Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Addition to Theophylline

N-acetylcysteine, theophylline, sodium bicarbonate and statins show some promise as potentially efficacious agents for preventing CIN**, but more high-quality studies are needed before they can be recommended for use in routine practice

Hi Art, Directions prior to the CT scan direct patients not to eat anything 4 hours prior to the scan. Melatonin isn't food, but...... it would be digested. Thoughts?

Hi Art,

How much time before a scan should one ingest the melatonin?

Can one ingest it RIGHT before, like right before laying down into the scan machine or it should be ingested like 30 or 60 minutes before the scanning process?

What would be the best timing?

What if melatonin is not available?

Are there other things one could ingest before and right after a scan?
