This is what happens when you want a magic pill.
It's always fun until someone loses an eye.
Aye Aye Captain
No one knows the long term effects of these drugs!
Well we are beginning to understand those long term effects. Eye loss is one of them.
We are finding out. The future will have all the kinks worked out thanks to all the people leading the way on trials regardless of motive. Sloth, gluttony, and vanity combined.
No Matter what your goal (to make money, build a family, lose weight…..)
There is no shortcut for hard work!
These medicines were made for people who have medical conditions like diabetes where "hard work" doesn't make a difference. The problem is doctors giving this medicine to any and everybody.
Waste of human energy...let's fix the diet problem instead.
How do you do that? You can't.
There's no diet which can fix it .
@@xcel5203 it's called a healthy diet, and getting rid of processed foods, excess sugars and fats. For ages people ate healthy and the obesity rate was only abour 15% in the 1970's, proabbly lower even before that. Now its 43% and headed above 50% due to people being lazy and getting most of their meals from fast food or prepared,processed foods.
Because 1) people are lazy 2) pharma companies are great at selling and lying to people 3) our food industry doesn't want you to stop buying their horrible food.
@@brienq Exactly... it's harder now, since you need to cook it mostly yourself until it becomes prevalent in our society, but seems worth it to me. You can get used to loving any food; *be stronger* than big pharma and the processed food industry that is manipulating you to keep their business going.
Meanwhile, studies have found that a modicum of self discipline, reasonable dietary choices and moderate exercise out performs both drugs and has no side effects.
If it were that simple we wouldn’t have widespread obesity would we? The fact is that high calorie food is cheap and abundant and the economy gods require that most of the working population must be sitting down 10-12 hours a day on desks for work. It’s inevitable that a majority of people will gain weight.
@@mrparts it is exactly that simple, but that doesn’t make it easy.
Ozempic works by reducing the desire to eat. It doesn’t work by making high calorie food less available or by making you stand up more often throughout the day. It chemically reduces the desire to eat and the weight falls off.
Ozempic proves that the cure for obesity rests with how the individual relates to the discomfort of hunger.
Stop the BS. You have no idea what you're talking about. IF ONLY. I have eaten clean, healthy, whole foods, gave up sugar, nothing processed, healthy caloric intake, physical activity, YOU name it but started gaining weight and could not stop. I WISH it was from being undisciplined because that would make it easy to fix, especially over 50 years old when it started.
@@DarlaAnne Wegovy and Ozempic, by their own admission, do not change metabolism. They affect appetite.
Both drugs have serious side effects, some known and some, no doubt, unknown. Self restriction of caloric intake has a single side effect: mild discomfort.
I’m sorry to hear about your weight gain and subsequent difficulties. But you do yourself a tremendous disservice when you remove your own choices both from the cause of your current situation and from the solution. Wegovy and Ozempic cannot do anything for you that you cannot do yourself. There is a very real possibility that the exchange you’re making with these pharmaceuticals has costs that you are not factoring in.
Are you kidding? Everyone is on it now, they hyped it up so much 😮
At least you look good after weight loss. But you yourself can't see it in the mirror.
😂😂😂
Rx artificial tears caused blindness to many as a
SIDE EFFECT and had to have their eye balls moved
Theres always side effects....
There's a reason it's not approved in Europe. Blindness, thyroid cancer....is it worth it to lose a few pounds? It's shocking how many people are taking these poisons when otherwise healthy.
Last month, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) - a European Union (EU) agency in charge of evaluating and supervising pharmaceutical medications - raised concerns about a possible risk of thyroid cancer in people using glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, including semaglutide.
Uhm, no, that exact agency looked at the concern. And said the evidence does not support a causal link to any GLP-1 agonist and thyroid cancer. These medicines are available in europe
@@deathhimself1653 You realize it's original purpose was (and still is) has nothing to do with weight loss, right?
Where in Europe?
Thanks for publicizing this. I had preexisting retinopathy with minimal vision loss, but went essentially blind (I could see about 5 feet) after one injection of Ozempic. In my case, however, there was profuse bleeding. I did later have surgeries to recover my sight.
I see a class action lawsuit coming.
Diabetics have increased risk of retinopathy to begin with
Novo is sponsoring the study, seems honest
Stop eating fast food, soda and junk.
I hate to break it to you, but it's way harder to lose weight than just not eating candy bars. I'm not saying that it's ok to be fat, but pretending that it's easy to lose weight is just stupid. If it was easy no one would be fat.
its easy to lose weight when you're 20. But after 40, your metabolism is basically non-existent. you will understand when you get there
I’ve got a bag of potatoe chips on me right now as I was reading that 😂
@@weho_brianI am there and it’s called self control. Less calories in then you burn equals weight loss. That’s why no one ever leaves a dessert island fatter then when they go there.
@@iggie8144 Way to miss the point.
Something tells me insurance just doesn’t want to cover the cost of it with all these people getting on it. This isn’t the first medication to be prescribed off label.
I guess theyll be alot of jobs helping the blind in the future
The makers of Ozempic are in the process of developing blindness drugs. Look for it! People will be dancing around in ads on TV! Oh-oh-oh-oh blindness, we got the cure!
😂😂😂
Harmaceutikill Industry 😐 😷🎭😷🎭 💉💉💉 🪱🪱 🐎🐴🐎
doesn't the gila monster have limited eyesight?
Anadrine aka s4 does the same thing. You know what they say about peptides, prohormones and the like. Worth it.
This is poetically ironic.
Tax sugar.
Taxing sugar creates higher inflation. Catch 22
@@erichvonmolder9310I didn’t hear anyone complain when we starting taxing all goods that aren’t made in America, sugar is already taxed.
@@Ry-pn2hy , But now add more taxes on it?
@@erichvonmolder9310 You didn’t complain the first time.
We give subsidies to sugar to make it cheaper. Make sugar more expensive and healthy food cheaper. People are paying the price with medical bills. It would be better in the long run.
Imagine wanting to lose a few pounds and losing your sight instead.
Ozempic has been around for some time ; we'd have known for sure by now if there's a problem. Better still let the researchers and medical fraternity come to a definite conclusion rather than the TikTok hacks make the diagnosis for us .
The drugs in Fen-Phen were around for some time, too. When combined, they made an excellent weightloss drug. With long term use, Fen-Phen caused irreversible heart damage and was taken off the market.
There are side effects, and then there are possible serious side effects like this. If you’re way overweight and need help, then go for it as the dangers are serious for being really heavy. If you want to drop 10-15 pounds for your upcoming high school reunion, then just eat better and exercise every day.
The problem is that people are convinced these poison meds are harmless. And that side-effects are extremely rare. Having taken care of two elderly parents, let me just inform people, side-effects are far more likely than you'd think. And Ozempic lists THYROID CANCER as one of their side-effects.
Imagine trying to lose a few pounds and waking up with THYROID CANCER. Was it worth it?
But hey just think, you'll lose even more weight on chemotherapy.
I have naion and never took any of these drugs nor will I ever…went totally blind in two weeks in my eye
Is it reversible? I'm so very very sorry.
any rapid reduction in blood sugar/pressure is a stress on the body and worsens microvascular disease...unsure if ozempic has specific effect outside of this...but man any degree of blindness is not worth any benefit.
Diabetic retinopathy, also causes blindness. So... on the balance it might not actually be worse even if this is proven to exist.
blindness from diabetic retinopathy is not a sudden thing..your a1c will tell you where you stand..this may be an unexpected surprise you may not like.again not for sure but worth considering..there are other ways to control blood sugar...now if you fail all that and still are willing to take risk then thats your choice.
I’d rather be fat than blind. I will continue to eat KFC and stay away from Ozempic. Thanks CNBC
WOW! Who could have seen that coming, or who will be able to see that coming in the next few years. Meanwhile Berberine, and now Liposomal Berberine are available, one for thousands of years, the other a recent innovation.
Diabetes causes eye changes also.
Its better to be fat and have vision than to be thin and be blind.
Oh my…
There are natural GLP-1 agonists from foods and herbs that I've come across that are a much safer strategy.
You can tell Gottlieb is taking Ozempic
These drugs have been around for a decade. They are safe. But the investigation should never end regarding their safety.
Define "safe". There are plenty of drugs that have been around longer than a decade and have horrible side effects. But because they list the side effects, there's not much you can do.
Ozepmic listed side effects include THYROID CANCER. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't call something "safe" that could give me THYROID CANCER.
i wouldn't worry about it
Yea of course. Now do one about covid vaccines.
Hahahaha
Blind but skinny 🤔
