It's been a life saver for me My A1C is about 6.1

[@shirleyhodge3524]

It causes cancer because it has venom that paralizes the stomach

[@shirleyhodge3524]

But for how long? It is a dangerous product. The stomach is paralized is how it works, I know you have hope but at some point the luck is likely to wear off. It is a dangerous product promoted with lies. It will cause you harm. I believe that to be truth. Its your choice but i hope you do not have to be sorry over it.

[@shirleyhodge3524]

My sons doctor told my son and I it causes cancer. So in the long run its not a life saver.

[@BenSkyLakewood]

Ok this was very helpful thanks

[@StormsHurt]

Thank you ❤

You got my sub

[@Maxaldojo]

Wicked good video! I am considered morbidly obese and started Ozempic, today and was wondering what to expect. Thanks.

[@shirleyhodge3524]

Wicked all right ? He is promoting a product that paralizes the stomach and causes cancer. He s not your friend. It is venom based that causes cancer but he don't tell you that does he? I have not listen to the whole video but i bet a dime to a dollar he don't tell you the result from it is cancer.

[@SGVFOOTBALL]

How has it been going?

[@shirleyhodge3524]

If you want a paralized stomach is how it works. This product is deadly its nothing to me i am not on it but try to be wise to Big Pharma that lies most the time. Look at some of the stars who went on it and their face is sunk in forever. It is a deadly product and there has been some claimed it has ruin their life. Some people vomite all the time after they went off of it. Stop believing the lies. The old saying is if it sounds to good to be true it problaly is not true.

[@Johnyrocket70]

I lost 60 pounds in the last couple month's by cutting all regular starches and anything with sugar plus walking a few times a day 10 to 20 minutes. Ozempic for 3 weeks now I am actually more hungry for some reason. Its not lowering my sugar yet. Hopefully it will I just increased the dose and stopped metformin.

[@Ggg496]

Thank you Doctor 🙏🏻🥰

[@shirleyhodge3524]

The doctor is either lieing or he does not know anybetter. The product paralizes the stomach is how it works. Go figure on the out come of that. Who stands to make money on this crime the doctor and Big Pharm. Is that what you want is a paralized stomach? A doctor i know has already reserched this and has put the warning out that this is an extreme dangerous product and will paralize the stomach is how it works. This can be a very deadly product and to stay away from it. It has Venom components in it that your doctor is not going to tell you. Follow the money.

[@lisaharrison8754]

It’s also given to type 1 who have a hard time with blood sugar who have carb resistance and who also need to lose weight you need an endocrinologist to watch your blood sugars and it’s used with insulin

[@BrandonWestfall]

Ozempic wrecked my stomach the first two weeks I was on it but now it's helping quite a bit with curbing my appetite. I've been diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis and celiac disease and it seems to have helped with those symptoms as well. (I assume due to slowing digestion)

[@Ggg496]

Take magnesium 500 mg🥰

[@BrandonWestfall]

@@Ggg496 I take 1000 mg/day. Doesn’t make a differencez

[@shirleyhodge3524]

Its venom base and paralizes the stomach. the stomach cannot digest. It is cancer causeing period. It is about profit not health.Be wise and have nothing to do with it.

[@GB58able]

Thank you much! The info is great but I missed some info because you speak too fast for me….Any way you can slow down a bit so I can fully understand your precious info!

I had to go back on metformin after two weeks of ozempic. My sugar rose from 126 to 196 after 2 weeks. I just raised the dose to .5ml today my 3rd week since I tolerated it fine & stopped metformin again. I will see in the next few days if it starts working with a higher dose. I don't like metformin it's hard on my kidneys.

[@shirleyhodge3524]

One of my son's doctors told us that the injections subject on this site, causes cancer which i knew as well, its got venom in it and paralizes the stomach.

[@adancer3592]

I was told it takes a longer time to work on my blood sugar levels . Anyone using it & how did it work for you .

[@reklovjj]

Perso on Mounjaro and weight loss aside, BS has been under 100 for months and last A1C from 6 to 5.3; GLP-1 is a must have for diabetes, obesity and difficulty to control food noise.

[@Johnyrocket70]

1st to weeks my sugar went up to 196 went back on metformin down to 126. Increased my 3rd dose to .5 ml stopping metformin again. Hopefully the increased dose will work. If not back on the pills until the next increase.

[@kzp5249]

My fasting glucose is my main concern. Levels spoke in the morning. I’ve tried various diabetic medications and my levels are not coming down. I’ve tried all sorts of eating plans low, carb, high carb ,no carb , low fat ,high fat ,no fat ,plant base, carnivore, protein shakes, smoothie detoxes. I’ve been walking almost daily. It muscle nd flat feet hurts . Now been swimming nd doing a bit of aqua exercises. Nothing brought diabetes down to normal as yet. I cannot use the glucophage medications due to permanent diarrhea/ IBS. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver, diabetes, fibromyalgia and I’ve gained 40kgs since these diagnosis. Doctor said to try ozempic and medical has approved it but there’s a shortage of the meds so difficult to obtain it. Not giving up on eating healthy nd exercising but it’s frustrating not seeing the sugar levels and scale moving down. It’s easy to say make a lifestyle change but for me I’m still trying to find the right lifestyle to change to…

[@godfirst9594]

You might be a type 1 diabetic or you might be a type 2 where all your beta cells are all burned out, or you have to be on insulin that happened to me. I was on those ezempic for eight months wasn't doing nothing for me then I want to Glipizide that didn't work so now I'm on insulin and that works.

[@jeffchastain2977]

Dr. Richardson, how do you feel about diabetics getting run over by rich people, who want to lose weight and can pay full price for these drugs, that are making them not available for diabetics that the drugs were developed for, and that the drugs are a crucial part of our therapy who can no longer get them because of shortages? I would love to see at least one or two of the many KZbin doctors who are talking about these drugs, and spinning up the demand for them, talk a bit about all the off label prescribing that is making diabetics have to chase these drugs from pharmacy to pharmacy, and frequently change dosages or completely change drugs or go completely without any because people are getting these drugs that should not. There is only one of these meds that is approved for weight loss.

[@CosmosChill7649]

Increasing insulin does not work for Type 2 diabetics, because the problem in type 2 diabetics is resistance to insulin. Semaglutide works by reducing gastic motility and making people feel full

[@Vegetarianbull]

Ozempic makes the cells more sensible to insulin also

[@K.lichtenfeldsaini]

Last 2018, I have Thyroid Cancer, but its removed its all gone no longer cancer on me so will be okay for me to go head use Ozempic?

[@shirleyhodge3524]

Are you kidding me? It causes thyroid cancer!! It is venom based and paralizes the stomach is how it works you will not have health from it Ozempic causes cancer!!!

[@Johnyrocket70]

My mom had that. She also was cleared for Ozempic. Her insurance only covered for a few month's tho.

[@fxsg4u]

After this 5 months, still no side effects? r

[@shirleyhodge3524]

Well is cancer good enough because its what it does. It is venom based and paralizes the stomach the digestion stops. It is cancer causing not if but when tell your doctor to shove it and have nothing to do with it. It is profit based and will destroy a persons health.

[@shirleyhodge3524]

@@luiscurtolo Its coming it is venom based and paralizes the stomach and stops digestion. It is cancer causing get off of it before your health is completely destroyed. Its not for anyone why would it be? .What good is weight loss and cancer springs up? It is profit based and not about your health. Just trying to be helpful. I am sick of the lying medical institution Sick of the lying CDC and sick of the corrupt FDA. They will have their day before God for the criminal acts they have done and continue to do. If you believe different then so be it but don't say i did not tell you so. Same for the criminal jabs.

I lost 25kg in 2 months by cutting out carbs and sugar all together. Ozempic made me more hungry.

[@Thehonestruth]

I live in ‘Australia and have started taking it for Diabetes type 2 and it costs 30 per pen.

[@shirleyhodge3524]

It paralizes the stomach is how it works how long can you have a paralized stomach? It will cause harm and maybe death. The media and doctors are lying it is not safe and is likely deadly in a very short time. Its nothing to me i am not on it but i have concern for the people who are on it and do not know any better. Its a money maker and you meaning the people are in harms way.

[@Johnyrocket70]

My insurance covers it so it costs me a copay of $1

[@ligiapierzchajlo4328]

Sir, please pay attention to as how you speak. Your voice is dropping on the end of every sentence to the point, that is not heard. However, your short description of Ozempic and it's effects is excellent and very helpful. I'm on the medication for past 8 months with an excellent results and no apparent side effects. I'm actually geting very healthy. Thank you for your information.

if you dont have enough food wouldn’t that be dangerous?

Ozempic is also the only drug basically for fatty liver disease-(look it up)!

[@palerider7924]

Basal insulin one shot per day dropped my fasting blood sugar from 180 to 95. Does Ozempic do the same? If you are underweight like I am at 150lbs and over 6 feet tall you do not need a drug that curbs appetite and makes food actually repulsive. Consider Basal Insulin because is might rest the beta cells and give them a better chance of producing insulin during meals. I think Doctors are putting too much emphasis on oral medications when many just need insulin shots.

[@Johnyrocket70]

After a few month's on Ozempic people have stopped using insulin. It may slow down digestion but it makes me more hungry for some reason. It has heart and fatty liver benefits so that's a plus.

[@debramccann8822]

I’m on it and have absolutely no side effects nor does it reduce bloods or curb my appetite. I might as well be taking water

[@shirleyhodge3524]

It causes cancer. It is venom based and paralizes the stomach. It should of never been approve but profits is the key not your health. Don't you know the health care symthon i is corrupt!!! Yes the food stays in your stomach because it paralizes the stomach. It s not right for anyone so what is he talking about? He s after the profits never mind if you get cancer.

[@Johnyrocket70]

I lost more weight waiting for a Dr appointment. In two month's I cut out all sugar and starches and dropped 60 pounds. 2 weeks of Ozempic didn't lower my sugar I had to take metformin. Just increased my 3 dose & stopped metformin. I will know in the next few days if my sugar goes up like last week or not.Hopefully it will start working. I eat boiled eggs, low-fat cottage cheese with fruit every morning. Ozempic made me more hungry. Maybe its just me

I'd take Erik's advice with a grain of salt. He talks waaaay too fast. He's hyping up the product and he's missing important and vital information on how to use the pen (you have to prime it before using). Also, despite what he claims, the best places to inject yourself is in the abdomen.
