I have 2 family members on this. Im so frightened for them. I asked at the time they went on it if they were aware of the side effects and they said their doc is watching them closely, but what’s going to happen if/when they stop? Well obviously they won’t be encouraged to and Medicare will be drained because so many will be put on it indefinitely. It’s corrupt beyond recognition and the people will pay dearly.

I sure will, but I have a feeling I wont hear anything unless something negative occurs if/when they try to stop. But why would they stop? It’s free and they are losing weight. In their eyes the doc knows best. I’m sure they’re hearing “it’s safe and affective” again. They fell for that in 2020. So so heartbreaking.

How's it "free"? Everyone I know who considered it would have had to pay heavily.

It depends on a persons insurance. I heard a great deal about the ‘wonders’ of ozempic, at a science fiction writer’s convention last year. Some people there (mostly STEM retirees) could get it with their medical insurance.

These sorts of things never end well. I remember the stomach stapling fad. Eating caused intense pain, and there were other problems.

I don't know about this poison but in CO they advertise in bold letters,"Free Emergency Medicaid and Reproductive Benefits(Abortions) to ILLEGALS! I as a 62 yr old disabled American can't even Qualify for a ride to the grocery store! Free Rides to Drugstore all month long. Maybe I should claim to be a pregnant 62 illegal to get benefits

I'd think there would be supplements people could take to blunt the ill effects of these drugs, fresh grapefruit or grapefruit seed extract; activated charcoal. For every drug there is usually a counter.

Why is the FDA pushing it when they stopped fenphen back in the 90's? Well the answer is easy. M O N E Y. Was the FDA getting the huge kickbacks for approval back in the 90's? Well they sure are today.

Another more foundational root cause to obesity, in my admittedly unqualified and non-expert opinion (maybe that's a good thing?), is the low nutrient density in our food supply. If unadulterated food (which you can surmise is nearly absent in this country) contains ALL the nutrients that a human body needs, and the food-like stuff that is passed off as sustenance here in the US contains only a fraction of said nutrients (say, critical micro-nutrients like selenium, zinc, etc), then a person will have to eat vast quantities of such food-like stuff to get what their body needs. For example, you might need to eat 10 cheeseburgers at Mickey D's (complete guess) to get the same nutrition from an organic, regenerative, grass-fed burger. As Bill Mollison famously said, "Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple." So what is the solution? Find a way to swap out the % of GDP in the US spent on healthcare and food/sustenance production (organic, regenerative, grass-fed ain't cheap, but neither is un-subsidized Ozempic and all of it's side effects).

Big Agra funds the National Dietetics Association and that's how you end up with a diet high in starchy carbs (corn, wheat) promoted as the ideal. And make sure you drink your milk too. I got the dietetics degree only to learn I couldn't promote their unhealthy views of nutrition. So I have 2 four-year degrees, one of which was a waste of money.

far too much dependence on processed and fast food

I am appalled when I see what is in

baskets in grocery stores and the line up at fast food

IF they ALL went under, the only loss would be jobs

I grew up without it, even though McDonalds was in vogue then

Mom never brought home

empty calories, 'ersatz' food, as she labeled it

You make an excellent and mostly overlooked root point. It must be further noted that nutrition was a strong consideration when it came to food...until it was conveniently replaced and taken over by the 'calorie,' a rather nonsensical concept...and at a time when 'foods' the like of Crisco were being introduced. Yet another quinky-dink in history.

Its only legal in the USA because GATES and PFIZER are still free. Where its produced, its illegal because of the danger. WHY the HELL would any of you trust the FDA? WAKE UP!

I think the temptation to use Ozempic is understandable. Even eating well is not enough to keep weight off, portion control is vital. Long-term fasting has different effects on the male versus female body. Not enough emphasis is given to teaching portion control, so it is so easy to overeat and be unclear on how much food to plate. We live in a drug culture and even though advertising lists side effects in tiny writing at the bottom of the screen, the psychological manipulation with powerful marketing techniques holds sway. Pharma has no intentions of shrinking its profit margins, which is what will happen with the implementation of MAHA. There is a market for health aids that is emerging, and there is a huge upside potential for profit remaining. I hope the latter outcompetes pharma for customers.

The most disturbing thing we can see from your excellent report and others (like Sasha Latypova's this week) is that we still can't trust the FDA and CDC, even with the new administration, which is doing some good things but is still not fully facing up to the deadly mRNA poisons and the machine that promotes them. And yet political leaders and judges and corporate boards and other govt agencies and hospital administrators and school administrators all look to FDA and CDC for their guidance on whether to mandate things that have been proven to be deadly.

The DASH Diet is just as effective as Ozempic and without the cost or dangerous side effects. But you won’t hear this because big Pharma is pushing a narrative: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-hidden-struggle-in-health-care

I took this long ago when it was a diabetes drug. The side effects were awful so I stopped it rather quickly.

Now, as a weight loss drug it is being given with a much higher dose so I can’t imagine anyone taking it willingly IF they are given honest advice about it!

The fact is that pharma purposely builds bad side effects into EVERY med the create, to cause you to have to get another med to subdue the side effects of the first pill, while giving you more side effects you'll have to get another med for that will have it's own array of side effects.

And, bottom line, they are part of the eugenics/climate nitwits that want to kill off as many humans as possible.

We are two years into this magic solution to excess weight?

IF someone starves themselves, there is weight loss, and that is what most of

these people do. There is significant proof now of what they are doing and not

doing.

ANYONE can lose weight that way. The world suffers from famine, which

results in starvation and DEATH

It is NOT easy to lose it and keep it off, but they want a magic FIX

That is what dieting is about.

It takes careful adherence to clean eating and exercise to challenge a body

I am someone who gained weight when a brain tumor began prompting my pituitary to

pump out excess CORTISOL, which not only adds excess weight but actually

destroys organs of the body.

MDs finally figured out that I had CUSHINGS, but ONLY because a naturopathic

physician cared enough to dig deeply to find out what was wrong

MDs had written me off as female hysteria due to the bizarre symptoms I was having

while it devastated not only my body but my mental well being.

I am STILL working to return to what I was before the Cushings. . . . by clean eating,

which I had been doing before it began,

and working out 6 days weekly (alternating cardio/strength training)

It is coming off WITHOUT shooting up Ozempic, but it IS daily adherence.

THEY will rue the day Ozempic etc. was ever bleated as the ONLY true way to lose it

You forgot to include 100% Thyroid cancer from Ozempic and its other off label brands from use.

What is Dr Oz's stance on Ozembic since he's the head of Medicare? We didn't like Oz when he ran for Senator in Pennsylvania because he promoted strange supplements that didn't work because of the ad revenue to his TV show.

So why do doctors not like a high-fat, high-protein diet? It does, in fact, make you curb hunger. Because it does this so well, people have gone days without being hungry. But it sounds like the story is that people are permanently hooked on drugs and sugar and are always going to the doctor for the next fix, which doesn't work but makes the medical system rich.

Like all drugs that create a toxic overload in the body, it treats the symptoms not the root causes.

And those who go for bariatric surgery I've known look like shadows of their former selves.

I'm having trouble not eating at night; I bought two packages of quality aged cheddar yesterday and ate the 7 oz packages overnight. I take organic valerian from time to time to sleep, but self-control is hard and getting and treating the root causes. Jethro Kloss in "Back to Eden" recommends herbs like lobelia.

I have a old ass sister than lines up for whatever poison she saw on TV yesterday. I can't even talk to her anymore. Her brain is fried. Her life is over. She is to dumb to see what has happened to her.
