Wegovy and Ozempic: Scientists raise alarm over potentially deadly side effect from celeb-favorite fat-loss drugs that may have been MISSED in trials; Researchers warn Wegovy and similar drugs
Wegovy and Ozempic: Scientists raise alarm over potentially deadly side effect from celeb-favorite fat-loss drugs that may have been MISSED in trials; Researchers warn Wegovy and similar drugs
If you trust ANY big pharma drug trial or study, you have been living under a rock the last 3 years or even the last 30. All these trials are either incomplete, missing data, presenting massaged data, have all negative results hidden, are problematic in structure, or offer no positive results of any significance. In other word, they are fake.
As a nutritionist who specializes in fat loss and control of diabetes, I am facing issues with the recent push for ozempic. I don’t like these drugs for reasons of side effects and “weight loss” is up to 40% lean body mass! That’s not good! Yet I also have clients with diabetes prescribed this drug which is helpful for glucose management. My goal is to use real food and balanced nutrition planning to get them off drug therapies, and the recent promotion for weight loss complicates things with everyone believing it a weight loss miracle. I am regularly faced with wonder why there is a constant battle to avoid healthy eating patterns...!
Fully formed adults need to take responsibility for their lives and not devolve decision making upon any third party/govt agency.
Just like illicit drugs - cocaine, meth, MDMA, crack, LSD - all pills are, is a side-show, and a distraction from real world resolution.
If you are overweight, then stop eating crappy fast foods, endless sugary snacks and salt laden huge meals.
And get off your rear-end and move about - exercise for the love of god.
I cannot understand how obese people fail to understand how they even got there.
Mrs Cohen weighs 150kg.
She goes to see the doctor.
The doctor says:
"So, please tell me about what your diet consists of".
"Well for breakfast I don't really eat much - I have a dozen eggs, scrambled and covered with tomato sauce. Then I have two litres of chocolate milk, half a loaf of low GM rye bread with my favourite starwberry jam and half a brick of butter".
"And for lunch?" asks the doctor.
"Not much really" says Mrs Cohen, "I have four roast chickens, a leg of lamb and two litres of coleslaw all washed it down with one litre of orange juice".
"What about dinner?" asks the doctor.
"Well, for dinner, I like to eat less. So three 300g fillet steaks with barbecue sauce. Four portions of potato chips covered with tomato sauce and all washed down with two litres of Rooibos ice tea. For dessert I have five slabs of Lindt dark chocolate".
"Very well, Mrs Cohen. And how many times a day do you go to the toilet?"
"The toilet, maybe once a week. But, I do eat lots of prunes, to help with the movement you know".
"Ahem, well yes, Mrs Cohen. Please get dressed".
"So what is it doctor. What illness have I got? What's the problem?"
"You see, Mrs Cohen, you have no actual illness per se. The problem, however, is your inlet is way bigger than your outlet".
There's also a new mRNA-LNP jab for obesity under development. Happy days are here. Be a good looking cadaver. Reminds me of a study of protein supplements and resistance training in rats. The rats given protein supplements looked beautiful. Sleek coats, lean muscle. So much better looking than the rats in the comparison group who got no supplements or exercise. Beautiful looking animals. And they dropped like flies. Very pretty dead animals.

I was at the gym last week and on the wall of tvs there was one in front of my machine that had dr
Phil ( non doctor of anything) whose show was about this drug. The actors and rich are buying up the brand named version and the obese are only afforded the generic brand and having catastrophic health issues. Everyone is trying to Cheat their way to looking like a movie star or social media influencer. Turn it off. Limit carbs and calories and get exercise. Pills and tricks are short lived and not healthy.
I don't doubt that wegovy may have its issues but did researchers control for the effects of the clot shot? Bowel problems following the clot shot are not exactly unheard of. The paper at the link below reports on a case of acute diverticulitis and colon micro-perforation in a young adult following a booster of the clot shot.

Thank for the compliment. BTW that particular surgery had long term poor outcomes and health complications. I wouldn’t recommend it for the “over active” gland under the nose. It’s also common for obese people to claim overactive glands. 😊
After reading and agreeing with most of the comments here (if not all), the other problem is that when someone goes to their doctor for help - the doctor doesn't really help them with this. Doctors get a small number of hours in med school about nutrition but what they get a lot of is how to prescribe drugs and that is usually what is offered, sadly. So what do people do, take these drugs. The other leg of this is a lot of people want an easy fix to everything in life and this is just one of those traps they fall for.
What no one has mentioned is that actual food addiction is a thing for the obese. They eat so much they get a dopamine high and becoming addicted to that just like drugs.
the real sad part is that now due to excessive over use, medi spas having staff to write scripts, and people paying them cash..... there is a shortage and individuals who need it for diabetes can't get refills
There are no pharmaceutical shortcuts to great health.

Gluttony is a self-control problem. Not a medical problem.
It is solved with will power not drugs.

Pills cannot solve real problems.
All pills come with risks.

Strange how this drug can be used for off-label yet IVERMECTIN could not be used for off-label.

Remember the late 60’s early 70’samphetamines “ mother ‘s little helper “ was sold as safe and effective .
My guess Wegovy will be withdrawn from the market like many other anti-obesity medications in the past.
For more details on Wegovy, you can check my article at https://rcmprinciples.com/how-not-to-tackle-obesity-wegovy-etc.
the real sad part is that now due to excessive over use, medi spas having staff to write scripts, and people paying them cash..... there is a shortage and individuals who need it for diabetes can't get refills
Wouldn’t even consider anything from big pharmaceutical. Haven’t we learned from them rolling out the clot shot ?
