Ozempic Is NOT the Answer To America’s Diabetes Epidemic

By Brian Cates

Journalist Tucker Carlson recently sat down for an explosive and stunning interview with health reform advocate Calley Means. Means discussed Big Pharma’s new ‘wonder weight loss drug’ Ozempic, which is now being prepped and prepared to be the most successful drug in history. And it shouldn’t be because of significant problems with both the drug and the treatment plans surrounding it that the public hasn’t heard much about to this point.

Means began his presentation to Tucker by stating Big Pharma and the medical community are going about this all wrong by using an analogy: if a fish tank is dirty, you clean the tank; you don’t drug the fish.

Obesity is a symptom of a root cause; unless the root cause is dealt with, the symptom will never go away or be reduced. Means says Big Pharma proffering Ozempic to obese people suffering from insulin resistance is exactly like drugging the fish in a dirty fish tank. It is not dealing with the root cause of obesity and diabetes.

Means shared some stunning statistics with Carlson: 50% of teens and 80% of adults are overweight in America.

Means states that the real problem that must be solved is ‘metabolic dysfunction’. Americans are systemically overweight because of insulin resistance, which has inflamed their bodies, causing weight gain and then a host of chronic illnesses and diseases. Just injecting people with a new drug that causes them to drop a few pounds is not addressing the actual problem of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

There’s a metabolic health crisis underway, and Means doesn’t see the medical establishment trying to come to grips with it. Instead of taking concrete steps to warn Americans to change their diets and avoid the foods that lead directly to metabolic dysfunction, Means sees an industry focused on telling people they can keep on eating whatever they want, take this pill, or inject this drug.

This short-sighted approach doesn’t help anyone in the long run.

In the most disturbing part of the interview, [8 minutes of the video] Means talked about Big Gov’t and Big Pharma’s plans to try to ‘combat’ the growing epidemic of teenager obesity by using this relatively new drug, Ozempic.

This is not reassuring because once someone begins taking Ozempic, which is a costly drug [one pen costs $935 from several sites I looked at], they have to keep taking it; when they stop, they gain all the weight back.

Instead of teaching young teen children how to eat right and providing them with a proper diet, the government is stupidly planning to give them a costly weekly injection they have to take for the rest of their lives. At the same time, they continue to eat terrible, metabolically damaging, highly processed foods full of sugar and seed oils and high carbohydrate levels.

The kids will not get any real help from this, beyond what appears to be temporary weight loss, while Big Pharma and Big Gov’t cash in big time.

Means also revealed that the makers of Ozempic are NOT ALLOWED to sell or market this drug in Europe. They’re making all their money in the United States.

Have you got that?

This drug has PROBLEMS when you dig into it; Europeans won’t let it be sold in their countries, but apparently, OUR government thinks it’s OK if they sell it and give it to people here. They fully plan to begin offering it to obese American teens to help manage their weight.

The interview is 41 minutes long and well worth the time to watch.

“Natural Ozempic”

In response to the interview, several prominent Carnivore Diet doctors and personalities on X began posting pictures of what they humorously described as “Natural Ozempic.”

Humorous, of course, but making a very valid point: instead of injecting kids with expensive drugs that only temporarily treat obesity, isn’t far better to teach kids to eat a proper diet that includes eating something that naturally cures a metabolic syndrome driven by insulin resistance due to high levels of sugary carbs and seed oils?

Instead of eating highly processed foods stuffed with high fructose corn syrup and other sugars, what if kids ate….RED MEAT?

Seeing those posts gave me the idea of creating my own “Natural Ozempic” meme:

THE MANY KEY BENEFITS OF NATURAL OZEMPIC:

1. **FAR** cheaper than the Big Pharma Ozempic. Does not cost $20,000 for a treatment cycle.

2. You “inject” the Natural Ozempic into your belly by cutting it into small pieces, inserting it into the mouth, chewing and enjoying it thoroughly, and then swallowing.

3. Natural Ozempic does not result in stomach paralysis or other side effects of Big Pharma’s synthetic Ozempic.

4. You can buy Natural Ozempic without a doctor’s prescription. You can ingest all the Natural Ozempic you want without a doctor’s supervision. You can’t get into legal trouble or get arrested for consuming Natural Ozempic without a doctor’s prescription. You can legally buy as much as you want without doctor involvement.

5. Natural Ozempic is nutrient-dense, unlike Big Pharma’s synthetic Ozempic. Natural Ozempic is chock full of vitamins, minerals, and all kinds of good stuff your body needs.

We appear to be through the Twilight Zone here, where instead of doing the common sense thing and focusing on changing American diets for the better, Big Gov’t and Big Pharma are fixated on profits from selling expensive drugs to people whose metabolic conditions are worsening throughout their lives.
