A person could eat a very healthy diet for the cost of the drug.

Unfortunately, people want a quick fix after years, decades of over-indulgence. There's no such thing.

- Without insurance, Rybelsus cost $800-$900 per month, Ozempic $800-$950 per month, and Wegovy over $1,300 per month

And just think of it...after a few months or years using these garbage drugs, you can get your doctor to prescribe the cures for your debilitating actions...well almost.

I have a nephew 29 who knows the side effects, even the drug with pancreatic cancer as a side effect but is taking it anyway. He has this “eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die” attitude. After what young people have been through, I’m not surprised but I’m very saddened.

That's right, Paul! I personally choose to do intermittent fasting along with ketogenic diet. It is now a lifestyle for me. It's also helped many of my patients and colleagues as well. Stay away from the Big Pharma "quick fixes". God bless you and thank you for sharing!!

I see a few people every week in the ER with issues from Ozempic. Severe dehydration, gallbladder issues, GI bleeds, hypoglycemia... It is not a safe drug!! After covid I don’t trust big pharma at all.

We need to go back to the basics as a nation. Eating Whole Foods, using herbs for healing, drinking clean water and using clean products, getting outside, exercising ...and all those drugs won’t be needed!

Not so easy. Some of the young people have been emotionally destroyed by the shots and the lockdowns. It is too hard for them to care. Very sad and not deep enough thinking. What if we are in great shape in 5 years but they have cancer. I’m very upset.

I believe there are more people emotionally disturbed from the lockdowns than people are aware of...it was so destructive.

There was so much trauma.

I’ve also seen a post where it is related to thyroid cancer. From 2011-2016 I was on a diabetes trial for liguratide- I believe a component of these medications. I’m a diabetic and thankfully when the study was unblinded I was not on the active drug. Knowing what I’ve learnt in the last 3 years, I would never enter another drug trial, even though it appeared to be an appropriate double blind crossover 5 year study.

I know multiple women injecting this poison to lose weight. All of them feel sick but take it anyway. Insanity.

Here we go again for the gazillionith time...another weight loss drug. It would never occur to most people that drugs should be the last thing you ever do and only if you are on your death bed.

You want better health and an improved quality of life? You cannot mask your silly destructive lifestyle with drugs for very long. You inevitable death will catch up to you.

You must go to the source...your unhealthy habits, practices and beliefs. For the most part, your troubles are born from the terribly unhealthy life you lead.

You spend your whole life in one way or another getting sick. Cures do not come instantly as these people will sadly discover.

I just saw Emerald Robinson advertising a “summer special” price on this drug for one of her sponsors, a tele-health network. I don’t know anything about Robinson but I’ve heard others refer to her as a well-respected and well-informed journalist? Hopefully some of her better-informed followers will alert her to the well known dangers of these drugs. I’ve been hearing warnings about them for months.
