The Medical Advisor

As we navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of medical education, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT has become increasingly prevalent. While we strongly advocate for leveraging technology to enhance medical practice, we are compelled to express our concerns regarding medical students' and residents' over-reliance on ChatGPT. This manuscript explores the risks associated with using ChatGPT in medical education, particularly the growing trend of students uploading images to the AI model without first developing basic interpretation skills. Introduction to ChatGPT in Medical Education  ChatGPT, a cutting-edge natural language processing model developed by OpenAI, has been recognized for its potential to revolutionize medical education by offering personalized learning experiences and enhancing clinical reasoning skills. However, its adoption raises significant ethical and educational concerns. The model's ability to generate text and answer q...

Many people think of cancer as a medical condition that’s widely left up to chance; that the best we can do is go through life hoping we don’t get it. While it’s true that no one can control their health completely, you can significantly lower your risk of many types of cancer by having healthy diet and lifestyle habits in place. The American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund estimate that between 30 and 40 percent of all cancers can be prevented by eating healthy and exercising regularly. As an integrative oncologist, Dr. Katie Deming, MD , has both a professional and personal interest in what it means to eat with cancer prevention in mind. “Generally, a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet is one of the best ways to prevent cancer,” she says. Why is this the type of eating plan she recommends and what does it look like to put it into practice? Keep reading to find out. Why an Integrative Oncologist Recommends a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet Dr. Deming says that on...

The Root Cause Protocol (RCP), developed by Morley Robbins, is a health and nutrition program designed to address underlying health issues through targeted dietary and supplement recommendations. It offers various kits to guide users through different phases, promoting overall wellness. Morley Robbins, MBA, CHC, a repeat guest, is the founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group. He’s best known as the Magnesium Man, and is the author of “ Cu-RE Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How to Fix It on Your Own ,” in which he explains the roles of magnesium, copper, iron, vitamins A and D and other essential nutrients. His Root Cause Protocol  is the implementation of that information. Morley Robbins and Dr Joseph Mercola are currently planning to write a book together, which will focus on the little-understood importance of copper and its interaction with iron. As explained by Robbins, if copper is lacking in your diet, iron will build up in your liver, which changes its physiology and immuno...

Iron is necessary for life as it is essential to transfer oxygen into your tissues. Hemoglobin, the protein in your red blood cells that contains iron at its core, reversibly binds to oxygen and supplies your tissues with it. Without proper oxygenation, your cells quickly start dying. Iron is also a key component of various proteins and enzymes, and is involved in energy production, immune function, metabolism and endocrine function. For these reasons, low iron (anemia) can cause significant health problems. However, what many don't realize is that excess iron is actually more common than iron deficiency , and iron overload can be even more problematic. Because your body has a limited capacity to excrete iron, it can easily build up in organs like your liver, heart and pancreas. This is dangerous because iron is a potent oxidizer that can damage your tissues and contribute to a variety of health problems, including but not limited to: Cirrhosis...
