Only thing Fat Boy loves more than food is more Billion$ & Power

I dunno, I have seen people use it as weight loss drug and wind up looking like crackheads with teeth. I have my doubts that ozempic is safe.

Got a feeling we've got a major wake up call coming with that stuff. Like Fen Phen.
Sorta like the clot shot too. (But at least Fen Phen DID actually work, before it gave you holes in your heart)

Fen Phen:
Why Was It Banned? Heart damage: Users developed severe heart valve damage and stiff valves. Lung issues: It caused primary pulmonary hypertension, a rare and fatal high blood pressure in the lungs. The recall: The FDA forced makers to pull fenfluramine off the market in 1997

I think you are right. The people using drugs to change behavior always fail. I was serious about the crackheads with teeth. They lose weight and muscle mass, not a good look or healthy.

I knew a writer in California who told me about these drugs 10 years before they hit the market. I waited and waited and waited...
Then when they hit the market I couldn't risk any of them over the side effects. I've had Sepsis 2 times - it pur me in a coma twice and I nearly died.
Infections in the lower limbs are side effects.
There are enough to where it's too unsafe for me to risk.

Wow, sorry you had to go through that. I had a reaction to meds the VA gave me once. The effects were immediate, I drank massive amounts of fluids, called for help and flushed all of them. The VA sent a replacement and updated my chart. Now I take only what is necessary, watch my diet, exercise and make sure I get outside in the sun as often as I can.

My father, grandfather and uncles taught me the value of hard physical work. They would rest when needed but would always say, if I stop, I die. As they aged they all got the same medical advice, slow down, take it easy. They were the type of men that would have a heart attack and a week later be running a tractor.

The uncle the trolls love to make fun of uses a 6lp hammer daily. He could beat any three of them in an arm-wrestling match. I am in great shape, but not like they were. They had what I call work muscles. Strength shows in such men, one look in their eyes when they got angry and men's knees got week. Dad and most of his brothers are gone now but they all made impressive runs. One day someone will call and tell me they found my uncle in his shop, out on a trail or in the fields, no matter where he goes down, they will probably find him holding a tool of some sort and with a massive grin.
