"If a fish tank is dirty, you clean the tank. You don’t drug the fish." ‘Absolute Disaster’: Pharma Whistleblower Slams Popular Weight-Loss Drug Calley Means, founder of health tech firm TrueMed, during the Feb. 2 episode of “The Tucker Carlson Encounter” cited numerous reported side effects — including gastrointestinal issues and suicidal thoughts — of the popular weight-loss drug. Means, co-author of the book, “Good Energy: The Surprising Link Between Metabolism and Limitless Health,” also argued drugs like Ozempic fail to address the current metabolic health crisis in the U.S., which is rooted in poor nutrition and lifestyle choices. And yet the messaging that is coming out of the media is that it is a disease that can be solved with drugs. Even Netflix is getting in the on the game. Meat bad – sugar good!? It’s all about the numbers – 80% of the polulation are prediabetic According to Means, surging obesity rates have created perverse financial motivations that prioritize lifelong pharmaceutical use over preventative care. There are significant health concerns. It’s not even approved in Europe, where it is manufactured. Means said that even in the U.S., where the drug is approved to treat obesity, up to 30% of patients prescribed Ozempic stop using it within three months, attributing this in part to harsh gastrointestinal side effects. Nausea Diarrhea Stomach (abdominal) pain Vomiting Constipation Suicidal thoughts Ozempic “paralyzes your stomach,” Means said. “And there are studies now saying that [the inability] … to digest food actually stays after you go off the drug. You’re consistently seeing patients who go off the drugs gain the weight back.” The health care industry is corrupt While Novo Nordisk downplays legitimate medical concerns in pursuit of sales growth, the potential costs to society are extreme according to health trends Means cited. With 80% of American adults now overweight amid declining metabolic health markers, analysts forecast more than $1 trillion in annual Ozempic revenues if prescription rates increase in line with current obesity trends. Weight Watchers has partnered with Ozempic One of the oldest and most trusted weight loss programs, Weight Watchers, has added Ozempic prescriptions to their list of services. “Our institutions, particularly the healthcare industry, have completely let us down. Why aren’t doctors giving their patients prescriptions for food interventions if they have pre-diabetes … or allowing them to use their medically tax-advantaged dollars to [pay for] exercise [programs]? If you actually follow the science,” these would be the correct medical interventions, rather than drugs like Ozempic. We’re so gaslighted by this. It’s just pill, pill, pill.” “Our biggest industry, the healthcare industry, is profiting from us being sick. It’s just that simple. We need to unwind that or we’re going to destroy our human capital and destroy our [national] budget.” CALLEY MEANS How can we stop it? Stop letting Big Pharma buy everyone off. Pharmaceutical companies are paying dividends, grants, consulting fees, etc to the Universities, Health Care providers, individual Dr’s and Mainstream Media all to control the narrative.
