For instance, in a study of early worsening of DR after intensive insulin treatment, pancreas transplant, or bariatric surgery,2 10% to 20% of patients had worsening of DR within three to six months—with twice that many for patients who already had advanced DR at baseline.&amp;quot; &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://www.aao.org/eyenet/article/update-on-semaglutide-risks"&gt;www.aao.org/.../update-on-semaglutide-risks&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

It&amp;#39;s the same with humans as it is with computers...GARBAGE IN = GARBAGE OUT! All any intelligent, health conscious person has to do, is look into the piled up shopping carts of the consumers - piled high with Food-like Substances. Of course they&amp;#39;re all sick; and as long as they continue to stuff that Fake Food into their bodies - they will get sicker! Add Big Pharma&amp;#39;s drugs into the equation and...Forget about it!&lt;/p&gt;

I have high cortisol, and sometimes I can’t eat because I’m so upset about whatever. But I have noticed lately the more upset I get the more I stuff food my mouth, so now that I have become aware of the cortisol anxiety connection, I stop myself. What I do now is start my day with a veggie smoothie. Celery, cucumber, carrot, and a green apple. I put it in the blender with some ice and 1oz olive oil and I take all my supplements and vitamins with that in the morning I eat my main meal at lunchtime and I eat what I want, then I don’t eat again at all until the next day when I have my next vegetable smoothie. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At dinner time I still cook for my family I just don’t eat it, but what I do is drink a lot of water and I make sure that I put Celtic salt in my water. Sometimes if I’m real hungry, I will put a few granules of Celtic salt on my tongue and just let them melt and it tricks my brain into thinking I had a meal. Even with all my issues, I have dropped 13 lbs so far. Intermittent fasting has given me so much more energy. I haven’t felt this good for a very long time. Hope this helps someone out there.&lt;/p&gt;

Semaglutide is not a good thing! It&amp;#39;s just another Big Pharma product to make Big Money while adding to the suffering of those who take it.&lt;/p&gt;

It was used as an energy booster which aided in weight loss and it also was used as a natural alternative for sinus/allergy issues. Just because some individuals (and I question exactly how many) abused it, others, me included, could no longer get a natural remedy for sinus issues. We will see if the same is done to protect individuals from themselves!!!&lt;/p&gt;

He&amp;#39;s stated that the people are having serious gut issues 2+ years after taking Ozempic and Wegovy. Both he and Mikovits have said, stay away from all drugs and V&amp;#39;s.&lt;/p&gt;
