MASS PSYCHOSIS -- WHY SANE PEOPLE LOSE IT

In 2021 during the height of the mask-mandated COVID frenzy, many people were crazed when they saw a COVID rebel who refused to wear a mask. "You are spreading COVID," they would shout at you. They were as dedicated to wearing a mask as others were dedicated to not wearing one.  I encountered a situation when I was in line at a doctor's office. Masks in the office were mandatory, so I wore mine but not covering my nose.

 I was waiting to check out when a woman in line, 20 feet behind me, authoritatively "reminded" me that unless I covered my nose, I was spreading COVID.  I told her to mind her own business. It didn't make sense to me to constantly inhale the same stale air I was breathing out. The COVID agitation was so bad that Dr. Robert W Malone, MD, wrote in a Substack article about "mass psychosis," causing many sane people to act erratically.

In part, Dr. Malone wrote:

"These hypnotized by this process are unable to recognize the lies and misrepresentations they are being bombarded with daily, and actively attack anyone who has the temerity to share information with them which contradicts the propaganda they have come to embrace. And for those whose families and social networks have been torn apart by this process and who find that close relatives and friends have ghosted them because they question the officially endorsed “truth” and are actually following the scientific literature, this can be a source of deep anguish, sorrow, and psychological pain."

BEFORE YOU TRY THE NEW OBESITY DRUG

You have seen the drug on the news, and even naturopathic doctors advertise it as the next great gift from God to lose weight. The generic name of the "miracle" pill is  semaglutide and is used to treat type 2 diabetes and/or to reduce the risk of future cardiovascular events.  On TV, it's advertised by  several brand names including Rybelsus and Ozempic. You are not told that these drugs (as with most drugs) have a long list of serious possible side effects, including severe nausea and vomiting, tumors, pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, acute kidney injury, diabetic retinopathy, as well as suicidal thoughts and behavior.

The attraction of semagutide for healthy individuals is that it produces weight loss.  The problem is that the weight comes back once the medication is discontinued. A better solution to treat obesity is diet control. You can't continuously eat a highly processed, sugar-heavy diet and expect to be  or stay slim and healthy.

You might try a healthy alternative called KetoChow. They are packets of delicious powder you whisk into a drink that provides a full meal. The website for KetoChow.is www.ketochow.xyz. I love it and use it as a meal when I don't feel like cooking.
