OZEMPIC AND WEGOVY LINKED TO INTESTINAL BLOCKAGE - A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING CONDITION!

January 21, 2024

Last month I wrote a post about intestinal blockage and how serious a disorder it is - especially because it is high season for this disorder during the holidays. However, now entering January and relentless slimming season, this may also turn out to be high season for intestinal blockage due to the increase in prescriptions of certain popular weightloss medications.

Thinking of kick-starting January's weight loss with medical help?

Ozempic and Wegovy - both drugs where side effects include reducing intestinal peristalsis to such an extent that the FDA issued a letter in the autumn in which they made it clear that they will henceforth warn against acute intestinal blockage on the packaging. The risk of intestinal blockage is something most of us incl. health professionals and doctors have been unaware of with this apparent weight loss miracle drug.

Intestinal blockage is potentially life-threatening and if you already have a history of digestive disorders, you should stay far away from these medicines. Regardless of the fact that obesity is linked to a domino effect of biochemical problems in the body, the risk of intestinal blockage is simply too serious.

Last year, I admittedly also considered whether this remedy could be included as part of a broad-spectrum aid to kick-start weight loss in clients with a particularly addictive relationship with food - both to break the habit but also to change the brain's reward system. Unfortunately, it has become more apparent that the problems with muscle loss (leading to reduced metabolism - and increased tendency to gain more weight after treatment) as well as the side effects around digestion - and especially the risk of intestinal blockage - are not sustainable nor worth it.

If you are struggling to get off antidepressants you are not alone.

December 21, 2022

I highly recommend reading the work of Dr. James Greenblatt (MD) and getting his latest book specifically on how to get off antidepressants: read more about it here.

I do love Christmas time: the crackling of a fireplace, drinking hot cocoa with whipped cream and playing in the snow. However, I also see that this time comes with a lot of added expectations and feelings of loneliness for many. A recipe for pain for quite a few around this time a year, which is evident when taking the train and experiencing the delays that happen due to suicide. It is heartbreaking that someone can feel so lonely and that none of us have been able to help make that person feel better.

Life is sometimes very hard, yet it is crucial that we remember that everthing in life ebbs and flows - that nothing indeed is constant but change. Every feeling is only temporary. And if we are stuck in something too long, then we need to act our way out of it, so we can feel different and get unstuck. Implement habits and action steps that we might imagine we can enjoy in a future version of ourselves, even if it feels forced upon right now. Our ability to be happy and resilient in this life is directly tied to how we adapt to change - how flexible we are, so we do not get stuck.

Antidepressants and brain tumors

March 2, 2017

People with brain tumors should be selective about antidepressants.There is a chemical made in the brain called glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). GDNF is mainly responsible for repair of neurons after injury. However, the problem is that it also helps brain tumor cells survive. It also helps tumor cells migrate and invade surrounding brain tissue.

The insert from the flu vaccine. More proven side-effects than health effects. Yet we pop that stuff like candy. Expensive candy one might add. Even a Snickers has less side-effects than this.

Do you know that your flu vaccine is filled with mercury?

October 21, 2016

Mike Adams from NaturalNews tested the flu vaccine last year at his Forensic Food Lab. And you might just want to know that the influenza vaccines made by GlaxoSmithKline was found to contain shockingly high levels: Over 50,000 ppb mercury. That's 25,000 times the EPA limit of mercury in drinking water. Also, it is questionable whether it in fact even works. Many doctors don't even use it on their own family members due to the issues surrounding these types of vaccines.

Should you avoid broccoli if you are on blood-thinning medication?

September 5, 2016

This is another ridiculous myth that has no scientific substance, yet they have added it on the back of most blood-thinning prescription drugs. Most holistic doctors know that this is completely non-sense, and that foods rich in vitamin K will not hinder blood-thinning whatsoever.
