Wegovy and Ozempic Weight Loss Drugs in the New York Times. The Paper Doesn’t Discuss Horrifying Side Effects.

Wegovy and Ozempic Weight Loss Drugs in the New York Times. The Paper Doesn’t Discuss Horrifying Side Effects.

Wegovy and Ozempic are the latest “diet trend” in America.

A lot of people eat and eat and eat themselves to death here. The food is crap and there’s a lot of it. It’s full of sugars and fats and not a lot else, and it leads people to become very sick.

After the sickness from the cheap bad (for you) food happens, the drug companies come into play. Doctors throw more and more drugs at the patient, sometimes with horrible side effects that they all know are happening but won’t talk about.

Eating too much fried chicken? Here’s some Crestor.

Having McDonalds pour ten pounds of salt on an order of fries? Have some blood pressure pills.

Now it’s “Are you REALLY REALLY FAT?” Have some Wegovy and Ozempic.

These powerful drugs started out treating diabetes. They are very expensive and are mostly prescribed to people who could lose weight with diet and exercise, or just by eating less, but don’t want to.

What doctors won’t tell you are the side effects that people are having that sometimes don’t even go away after you stop taking them.

There are a lot of people that say they can’t stop vomiting even a year after going off the drugs.

Even if they could stop vomiting, as soon as you go off the drugs, which cost thousands of dollars a month, and insurance pays for and then sticks everyone who has to pay for insurance premiums with the bill because people won’t get out of the bucket of fried chicken and the pizzas and the 1,000 calorie McDonalds ice creams, the weight pretty much will just come right back as soon as you stop taking it.

And we don’t even know that the vomiting that some people get which never seems to stop will be the end of it. A lot of prescription medicines can really screw up your body after you’ve been taking them a while.

Theoretically, your doctor is supposed to do a risk/benefit analysis of drugs vs. your medical condition, but in reality many of them are very corrupt and have been bought off cheaply (nice dinners, “free education”, etc.) by the drug companies, and they also only hear and believe what the drug company representatives tell them.

The drug companies only have one goal, which is to sell you more drugs. They don’t tell your doctor everything they need to know. So even if your doctor isn’t a bad person, they still only largely hear and believe one side of the story.

For example, at high doses, cholesterol medicine (statin drugs) can cause muscle pain and deterioration, memory loss, fatigue, and other serious health problems. The doctors and the FDA play these concerns down and brush them aside.

These side effects are an even bigger concern with Asian people, whose bodies don’t clear the drug as fast as White patients, who the companies usually test the drug on.

It’s buried way down in there, in the prescribing literature you’re supposed to get and never read because it’s as big as a road atlas even though it’s in a size 1 font. But it’s there. They warned you something might happen.

It’s up to patients to educate themselves because nobody else will do it for you.

I’m not THAT fat, but my doctor recommended Wegovy to deal with me being about 25 pounds overweight. I told him no thanks. He looked at me curiously. I said, “I’d rather be a bit overweight than on some $1,000 a month product where it all comes back anyway and you can’t stop projectile vomiting even a year after you stop.”

He had no idea, or said he didn’t. They have so many patients that walk in there and DEMAND shit that’s killing them that the doctor probably thought he was doing me a favor by offering it.
