ANOTHER NEW OZEMPIC SIDE EFFECT.

It just goes from bad to worse for Ozempic / Wegovy when it comes to side effects. Now it turns out the drug increases your risk of inhaling the contents of your own stomach. Yes, really... 👇 Image
A new study reveals that people taking Ozempic may face life-threatening complications during surgery that requires anaesthesia. Most surgeries with anaesthesia require an empty stomach, but, as we know, Ozempic prevents the stomach from emptying for long periods of time...
A growing number of anesthesiologists are saying they've seen patients on Ozempic suffer potentially life-threatening damage to their lungs because they've inhaled the contents of their stomachs during surgery. This is called "pulmonary aspiration". Image
The traditional advice not to eat for at least six hours before surgery is inadequate for users of Ozempic. New guidelines suggested users might have to halt the medication a week before surgery, but now some medical professionals are saying it should be three weeks.
Yes, that's right. With Ozempic it can take up to three weeks for your stomach to empty. Unfortunately, for some patients who then come off Ozempic, the stomach remains effectively "paralysed". This is now the subject of a wave of lawsuits. Image
Pulmonary aspiration normally happens maybe once in 2-3,000 operations requiring anaesthesia, and almost half develop a lung injury as a result.
One man who suffered aspiration while on Wegovy suffered respiratory failure that put him in intensive care. He breathed in food that had been sitting in his stomach for 18 hours. Another woman on a low dose had to have her surgery stopped because she was at risk of aspiration.
Surprise, surprise: Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempuc, said its clinical trials and safety data indicated no risk of aspiration. Image

TEABAGS: AN UNEXPECTED SOURCE OF MICROPLASTIC EXPOSURE.

Did you know that a significant proportion of teabags today are made out of plastics like nylon or contain hidden plastic?

That can only mean one thing: microplastics, and lots of them... 👇 Image
First of all, if you want to familiarise yourself with what microplastics are and why they're bad, you'll find everything you need in this megathread:

In Britain, where consuming tea is a national pastime, 98% of all tea is sold in teabags. But maybe as much as 5/6 of all teabags now are either made from plastic or contain it in some form or other, according to a recent study. Image

MICROLASTICS: A LIVING ECOSYSTEM.

Far from being an inert substance, plastic waste, including microplastics, is teeming with life.

As our exposure to microplastics grows, it's only logical to ask: could they be spreading diseases as well? 👇 Image
A 2013 study dubbed the communities that live on marine plastic debris "the plastisphere". They found algae, protists and bacteria on floating plastic. Because plastic is so much more durable than typical floating debris, there's plenty of time for diverse colonies to form on it. Image
The researchers were worried because they also detected pathogenic bacteria from the genus vibrio, which causes cholera.

Other research has demonstrated the presence of fungi, parasites and viruses on plastic. Here's toxoplasma gondii on a polyester microfibre, for example. Image

GROWTH HORMONE.

Growth hormone (GH) is an essential natural hormone involved in a variety of bodily processes implicated in growth, including muscular growth and also the repair of joints, skin and other connective tissues.

Here are two simple hacks to increase GH levels. 👇 Image
1. ADD HEAT.

Exposure to heat appears to stimulate significant GH secretion. Researchers gave 10 young men 75 g of glucose dissolved in water on two different occasions. On the second occasion, they had been in a warm bath (39c) for an hour. Image
Being in the warm water slowed insulin release and increased blood sugar, but it had a truly remarkable effect on growth hormone secretion. GH levels were 10.7 times higher after the hot bath! Adrenaline levels were also 2.7 times higher. Image

MILK: THE SUPERFOOD.

Raw milk is a superfood with powerful nourishing and healing properties. But like all animal-based superfoods, it's been subject to intense vilification over the last century. Now we're starting to realise just how misled we've been. 👇 Image
Milk (I'll stop saying "raw" from now on, because "raw" is the only type of milk that's actually milk) has been used as medicine for thousands of years. Ancient physicians like Hippocrates, Galen, Pliny and Varro all used raw milk in the treatment of a variety of conditions. Image
Milk is and has been widely used in the Ayurvedic tradition for thousands of years to nourish and rejuvenate the body, and to treat sexual function and improve fertility. Image

AGING AND TESTOSTERONE DECLINE

It's generally believed that aging causes a year-on-year reduction in testosterone in men, beginning from about the age of 30. The reduction is usually reckoned at 1% a year. 👇 Image
One reason for this, as a new study suggests, may be increased production of sex-hormone binding globulin, which binds to sex hormones including testosterone and prevents them from binding to receptors on the body's tissues. Image
One way to reduce SHBG levels in the blood, and therefore increase free testosterone, is boron supplementation.

IT'S OFFICIALLY OVER.

According to a new study, the very air we breathe is estrogenic.... 👇 Image
When we talk about estrogenic chemicals, we tend to focus on chemicals that are ingested (food and water) or absorbed through the skin (personal-care products and so on), but it would appear that particulate matter in the air may also be a significant source of exposure. Image
Researchers in Italy took samples of air from five different sites in Italy and assessed the particulate matter contained in the samples for cytotoxicity (cell toxicity) and estrogenic activity.
