An associate of mine gave my most recent blog on chelation in my clinic to ChatGPT. This is how that AI author reworked my text. It may be better and more clear than what I wrote. In my human defence, when I write blogs, since I have spent 38 years in the tightly constrained world of authoring medical articles, which require more rigor in writing, referencing, exactitude of numbers, writing blogs over the last 6 years I have taken a more poetic, lyrical view of writing blogs. Also I write them in a much shorter time frame. Perhaps the typical blog 3 hours, compared to the typical peer-reviewed article maybe 100 hours.Blogs I have found rather freeing in that regard.
This ChatGPT authored version may however be better written and less lyrical than my blog. At some level what is both intriguing and frightening, there is no doubt in my mind, since peer-reviewed articles, when well done follow themselves a quite strict lay-out and organization, which would be very easy to replicate with AI. In fact I have been one of the earlier authors in developing the quite strict lay out of optimal medical articles in Radiology... a small secret sauce is using the latest and fanciest seeming statistical analyses. There is actually no doubt in my mind that I could feed into an AI cerebrum my 10 best peer-reviewed articles and then it could use that as a template for every other article I write, or anyone else for that matter - making it perfectly touching all the elements to ensure publication in a top journal.... Maybe I should not have let that cat out of the bag, someone may do this before me.
Here is the ChatGPT Dr Richard Semelka clinic.:
Overview of Chelation with Dr. Richard Semelka
Presence and SupportDr. Semelka is always present during chelation sessions, discussing the treatment process (GDD) and expected symptoms. Patients are informed about the anticipated treatment duration and experience a communal support system in the treatment rooms.
Treatment EnvironmentThere are three treatment options:
Communal Room: Preferred for most GDD patients; fosters a supportive atmosphere.
Medical Room: For specific medical needs.
Private Room: Available upon request.
This communal setting helps reduce feelings of isolation often experienced by GDD sufferers, creating a supportive community akin to an AA meeting.
Initial Treatment Protocol
Day 1: Introduction to DTPA and Flare. A smaller dose of the chelator is administered alongside IV steroids (methylprednisolone).
Patients typically share experiences and helpful supplements in the communal room.
Testing and Dosing
A 24-hour pre-chelation urine test is performed, with a follow-up post-chelation to assess Gd elimination.
A full dose of Ca-DTPA is usually administered in the second session to maximize Gd removal.
Cytokine ResponseDr. Semelka shares personal experiences with Gd elimination and cytokine responses. Cytokine levels correlate with the number of GBCA injections received rather than the severity of GDD symptoms.
Steroid AdministrationIV steroids are generally given during the first session to prevent complications. Observing a Flare is crucial for diagnosing GDD or Lead toxicity.
Lead Toxicity Considerations
All individuals have lead in their bodies; however, only those with lead toxicity experience reactions during chelation.
DTPA helps remove both Gd and lead, providing a detoxifying effect.
Preparation for Chelation
No specific preparation is required; avoid random supplements before and after treatment to prevent interference with DTPA's effectiveness.
Essential medications should be continued, while detoxing can occur alongside the chelation process, adhering to a 3-day rule.Overview of Chelation with Dr. Richard Semelka

Final words by the human Dr R Semelka:
What I will need to also create is an AI Dr Richard Semelka, that also can be displayed anywhere as a 3D hologram, Maybe also several robot versions. The robots would also give lectures, without pausing for words, not saying ...um... in the middle of sentences, etc. The initial 3D holograms could be sent to all MR facilities providing instruction to patients about MRI, including the risk of GDD, maybe gently admonishing techs and radiologists if they provide misinformation....
But what if the bots and hologram turn evil and vengeful through being hacked, or by intent (maybe by North Korea or North Carolina) ?
