Chuck Norris: "I left the movie so that my wife could live"

The famous 77-year-old American actor Chuck Norris has long ceased to act in films. Many fans of the star of the movie "Walker, Texas Ranger" have already stopped hoping that someday they will hear something about their pet. However, the other day Norris broke the silence and gave an interview to the foreign publication Good Health, in which he explained in detail what had happened to him in the last 5 years.

Chuck could not leave his wife Jenna

The last time the famous actor appeared on the television screen in 2012, when he starred in the film "The Expendables-2". After that, Chuck began to consider other proposals from the filmmakers and had already stopped on one, as he learned the terrible news. His wife, Jenna, was severely weakened after the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, to the extent that the doctors did not understand what was happening to Mrs. Norris. That's what words recall that period of his life Chuck:

"At the end of 2012, Jenna has gotten worse from arthritis. In order to produce all the necessary tests for my wife, a contrast agent was introduced, which includes gadolinium. After that, there were 3 MRIs that were conducted during the week. After the first procedure, Jenna became very ill. She told me that her whole body burns, crazy weakness and blurred vision. After that, other symptoms were added: the vision began to fall, she began to argue badly, constantly losing her thought. I was very scared for her. The wife lay in the clinic, and the doctors only spread their hands. I realized that I should be next to Jenna around the clock. I left the movie to keep my wife alive. I think that this sacrifice is not in vain. "

After that, Chuck talked about how they began to fight the consequences of the introduction of gadolinium into the body:

"What can you do in the ward of the clinic when you are bedridden and die? Of course, to seek salvation. We tortured the doctors in the hospital, where Jenna was in relation to what could have caused such changes in the body. The staff of the institution could not tell us anything, except that they do not understand the nature of my pains. After that, the wife climbed on the Internet and accidentally stumbled upon an article that spoke about the terrible consequences of gadolinium on the human body. After that, we began to write to other clinics on this issue, but the answer was one: gadolinium is not harmful to the patient's body. This continued for 5 weeks until we found a clinic in Nevada, which described the toxicity of gadolinium. At that time my wife could not move anymore, because the pain in the muscles was unbearable. She lost more than 7 kg of her weight, and could not normally chew and swallow. After that, we urgently left for this clinic in Nevada, where my wife was hospitalized for 5 long months. It was a crazy test not only for her and me, but also for our twin children. Every day we saw Jenna put a dropper with a special medicine that removes heavy metals from the body. It was a very difficult struggle, during which we were visited by different thoughts. However, in one thing I was 100% sure: I should not leave my wife, even if I have to forget about everything. "

Chuck and Jenna sued the pharmaceutical companies

The struggle of Jenna and her family with the consequences of gadolinium continues to this day. If you collect all the accounts from the clinics together, the amount spent on treatment amounted to more than 2 million dollars. Knowing that many families do not have such money, the Norris spouses decided to fight with the use of gadolinium-containing drugs in medical practice. They drafted a lawsuit in the San Francisco court, which accused 11 pharmaceutical companies of distributing dangerous drugs. In addition to the fact that the actor and his wife demand stopping the use of drugs that contain gadolinium, they insist on compensation for moral damage, which was estimated at 11 million dollars.

Let's remind, preparations with gadolinium are entered in medical practice since 1980 year. They were tested on themselves by more than a million people and the public is not aware of the facts of side effects of gadolinium, such as the Norris family says.
