Surprised so many thinking long term effects unknown, can’t decide if it’s ignorance or wishful thinking to be honest.
the main agonist in these drugs was first discovered in the 1920s. It is simply a synthetic hormone we produce naturally.
it was then developed in the fifties.
it went through 15 years of trials before being approved for diabetics. Inc diabetics who got to a normal weight. That was over 20 years ago.
it was the trialled for weight loss, again, multiple years, that was approved about 3 years ago, I think by the fda first in the USA.
it was then approved by most health care regulators in countries with functioning health care systems.
this year the WHO concluded their research as they didn’t wish to comment earlier as they wished to examine all the long term impacts. They then recommended all countries with a functioning health care system make available for diabetes.
they then subsequently completed their research into long term effects for weight loss and recommended it was made available for obesity as a long term treatment and issued guidance for all countries to now look at affordability and availability, as they were concerned many people are unable to access due to cost and availability restrictions.
when the who puts a medication on its essential meds list, then countries meet the recommendation.
the drug is now in multiple new trials, all seperate, for multiple other uses
cancer reduction
cardio vascular health
kidney and liver health
dementia reduction
alcohol and drug abuse reduction
anti ageing, - not your face but trials have shown that due to the reduction of inflammation our cells are able to regenerate, meaning the scientists are now seeing, ageing either slow, stop or reverse. The fountain of youth is not about appearance, but what’s going on inside but of course if you are healthy inside you look healthy outside,
this is just a peptide, one we produce naturally, but which production of declines with age, or some people never produce enough off, the ability to get a medicine approved is now incredibly onerous, post thalidomide, and these drugs didn’t just do a 15 year initial trial, they have been in trials ever since. So nearly 40 years now.
The global health authorities know the safety of the drugs, they know the global uptake requirements.
me personally I’ve researched it, and I discussed with my gp before starting, who herself had been prescribing for over two decades and had very good results, albeit for diabetes, and actually said she wished she could prescribe. It’s a scandal about the cost for an essential medication, but this will resolve in time. I am staying on a low dose, as I know my body now works optimally, I am staying on primarily for the health benefits, reduced cancers, better cardio vascular , kidney and liver function, optimal blood sugar and insulin control, reduced risk of diabetes, the reduced inflammation, the improvement in my internal organs,
i recently had a full swathe of blood tests and every one came back in peak health, all smack bang in the middle of the healthy range, everything, from blood cell count to kidney, liver etc and my cholesterol is now low and very healthy.
so no, there won’t be any serious class action law suits, long term effects no one knew, they already know. And that’s why they all approved for life time usage.
lets be honest, the scaremongering is not as people think all the global health authorities have suddenly become inefficient, it’s because people are getting slim, or more accurately women are, and those who can’t access feel envy and or resentment.
