Lifestyle & Supplements

Patient Treatments, Adjuncts Shared Relief and Recovery Strategies


Always consult with your doctor before taking new supplements or 

trying new treatments. 

What is safe and effective for one person, may not be appropriate for you due to 

your underlying health conditions and/or the medications you are taking. Consider 

your allergies before trying any adjunct treatment for gadolinium deposition disease. 


The various treatments and recovery strategies shared here have been suggested 

by patients who experienced symptom improvement and should not be taken 

as medical advice or as an endorsement of any medication, supplement, 

or other treatment modalities mentioned. 


If you find certain things do not work, or are not palatable to you, 

then do not do them or ingest them. Not everything works for everyone. 


Core Items for Symptom Relief: 

Eat a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Note from Richard Semelka, MD:

I do not strongly advocate any of the supplements, as their efficacy would require a randomized controlled study. This generally does not exist for any supplement for any purpose. If any item does not agree with you physically, or you develop some form of reaction, then do not use it.

My preference is to start with the healthy diet including food items particularly considered  to have health benefits. If these benefits do not exist if studied with scientific scrutiny, at least no harm has been done. The conventional wisdom in all of medicine, although there may be no general agreement about specific supplements,  eating a healthy diet with fruits and vegetables is unquestionably prudent. Especially when combined with activities that maintain physical wellness and range of motion. 

Lists and recommendations will be continuously updated.
