Granddad: If you're still not feeling well tomorrow, we'll go see a doctor. Huey: I'd rather not... Western medicine is too corrupted by capitalism. The goal of making money supersedes the goal of wellness...most doctors and pharmaceutical companies do not have our best interests at heart. I'd prefer a more reliable source of information. Granddad: Like what, the internet? Huey: I'm starting with everythingcankillyou.com
I’m diabetic…my doctor prescribed Ozempic. At first, I had a few side effects, and my dr told me that my body just had to get used to it. Over the next year, I suffered all the side effects. Sure, it worked as far as eating less and not feeling hungry, but the constant nausea, running to the bathroom, pain in my side, dizziness, etc., ended up with me losing my job due to absenteeism due to the side effects. The day I lost my job is the day I quit taking the med. It took me about 3 months of being off to get back to feeling normal. Now I’m hesitant to go see my doctor, because I don’t want another med pushed on me.
