It gave me urotheolial cancer resulting in removal of left ureter and left kidney. Then a few months later it gave me a gangrenous gall bladder. No Thank You.

Ozempic almost killed us. Dry heaves, constipation, excess wrinkles, loss of weight, and really messed things up in the metabolism.

It reduces inflammation and it causes people to eat less…and less crap.

It ‘treats’ most of what is wrong with people these days.

There are only a small handful of ways that weight loss can occur. The drugs either have to cause you to eat less, burn more (basically fidget), or absorb less (poop more). These drugs simply suppress appetite, so you eat less food. The real downsides are not yet revealed, but they are likely to be severe across a population. Don’t get fat. If you are already fat, eat less food. It is simple, but not easy.

But since ozempic can’t keep up with demand they are allowing 3rd parties to make it so it costs about $300 - $400 per month.

It is very expensive, but under certain circumstances health insurance can pay most of it. It’s worth looking into.

Yes, I went through some bad side effects, and take now take metamucil to help with the digestion. But at .50 ml per week my A1C went from 10.5 to 6.1 and I lost about 10 pounds.

I wouldn’t mind losing some more weight, but because of the digestion thing, we’re staying at .50 for now.

HOW does Ozempic reduce the amount of protein in urine? ...by reducing appetite? ...by reducing digestive protein absorption? ...by reducing spent protein clearance?

I wonder if just cutting protein consumption by 30% would work just as well without the possible side effects of taking the drug?,
