Welcome to Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill, where we bring you the latest insights from leading experts in the field of health and wellness. In this episode, we have the honor of hosting Dr. Richard Semelka, a renowned expert on Gadolinium Toxicity.

Gadolinium, a heavy metal commonly used in contrast agents for medical imaging, has been a topic of concern in recent years due to its potential health risks. During our conversation, Dr. Semelka will shed light on Gadolinium Deposition Disease (GDD) and its implications for patients who have undergone contrast-enhanced MRI scans.

Key Points
1) A small percentage of people experienced symptoms of Gadolinium Deposition Disease (GDD) or gadolinium deposition in the brain after MRI with contrast
2) Recognize the most common symptoms of Gadolinium Deposition Disease (GDD)
3) Optimize treatment with chelation to excrete gadolinim and other heavy metals and restore health after GDD

He has been a leading researcher and practitioner in MRI, has pioneered and is the leading author worldwide on abdominal MRI, and is the radiologist with the broadest research, and publication record on safety in Radiology, having authored major works on informed consent, overuse of imaging, risk of cancer from CT and x-rays, nephrogenic system fibrosis, Gadolinium deposition in the brain on MRI, and most recently has pioneered in the medical literature the subject of Gadolinium Deposition Disease (GDD) and is presently the leading author on the subject. GDD is essentially a severe persistent disease secondary to the use of Gadolinium Based Contrast Agents (GBCAs) in individuals who often have normal kidney function.

Dr Semelka has written 350+ peer-reviewed articles in Radiology and 17 textbooks, including Health Care Reform in Radiology. He has been one of the most accomplished authors on safety, especially regarding medical radiation, patient information, overuse of imaging, NSF, and most recently GDD.
