New Drug Eases Side Effects of Weight-Loss Drugs

Good news? Another medical breakthrough? Or Enhanced profits for Drug Companies?

Weight-Loss drugs (Ozempic, Wygovy, Mounjaro, et al) are the new in-thing! Everyone, it would appear, wants them in order to lose weight. Yet these drugs are not safe. In September 2025 it was reported that the first deaths had been reported, one death per week, according to the Sun newspaper. You will see that several large mainstream media outlets did report this, which was most unusual.Even the Conventional Medical Establishment has safety worries about these weight-loss drugs, saying they need to be taken under medical supervision, and their use restricted to people who have a clinical need for them - owing to the risk of potentially serious adverse reactions.

But none of this has limited an almost insatiable demand for the drugs. So people who cannot obtain them through normal health service channels are buying the drugs privately, on the internet, some of them, reputedly are ‘fake’ drugs, and thought to be even more dangerous.

So perhaps when Medscape reported that there was a new drug, NG101, that eases the side effects of weight-loss drugs it is good news? Medscape claimed that research showed that NG101“reduced nausea and vomiting in patients with obesity by 40% and 67% respectively”. However, the article fails to address 5 points.

1. The research, even if does not exaggerate the data, means that 60% of users of weight-loss drugs who suffer nausea will continue to suffer nausea; and 33% of users who suffer vomiting will continue to suffer vomiting.

2. Nausea and vomiting are two of the least serious ‘side effects’ of these drugs; certainly less serious than death; and perhaps less serious than some of the other ‘side effects’ admitted by conventional medicine, which include anxiety, blurred vision, confusion, constipation, diarrhoea, depression, fever, headache, indigestion, nightmares, seizures, tightness in the chest, trouble breathing, unusual tiredness or weakness, acid/sour stomach, heartburn, and much more.

3. The announcement is typical of pharmaceutical companies business plans, that is, to market and promote a drug which causes serious patient harm, and then to introduce another drug that ‘eases’ some of that patient harm cause by the first drug. A remarkable, and often-used business creation scheme!

4. Any side effects of the new drug, NG101, were (as usual) discounted! “No serious adverse events related to the study drug were reported in either group”. However, I am sure that we can expect that drug companies will now be looking for another drug, another business opportunity, to counter the side effects of NG101.

5. The study was funded by Neurogastric (and I will assume that NG101 is a product of this company). The author of the study, Sean Wharton, disclosed that he served as a consultant for Neurogastrix but did not declare that he was an investigator in the study.

And so on it goes. Medical breakthroughs are regularly announced by drug companies that are not medical breakthroughs. Here, the problem of obesity, caused largely by diet, but also by pharmaceutical drugs, is reaching epidemic proportions, and the pharmaceutical industry is seeking to enrich themselves.

"We are what we eat!". Food is Medicine! So what are we eating?

Food is central to our health, our energy, our vitality. So is there an advantage to eating organic food?

Every week I get an organic vegetatble box delivered to my home. Why do I bother? Isn't organic food just an unnecessary but expensive fad? After all, we are regularly told that pesticides/insecticides/herbicides are a necessary part of producing food, and that we can tolerate small residues of these poisons in our diet.

I am reproducing below a small article that accompanied my box this week, writen by Nick Mole, Policy Manager at the Pesticide Action Network UK (PAN UK).

     “The most common route of exposure to pesticides is via the good that we eat. Whilst UK supermarkets do text food items for residues, very few of them make this data publicly available (see who does and doesn’t here at pan-uk.org/supermarkets). In the UK we have little choice but to rely on thje UK government residue testing scheme organised by the Expert Committee on Pesticide Residues in Food (PRiF).

     “Every year PAN UK analyses the PRiF data and publishes the “Dirty Dozen” list which is the 12 types of fruit and veg found to contain the most residues (pan-uk.org/dirthy-dozen.

     “Testing has revealed residues of up to 125 different pesticides in one sample. The worst offenders are usually non-organic citrus, grapes (fresh and dried), and soft fruits such as strawberries. Apples, pears, and cherries are also frequently contaminated with multiple pesticide residues.

     “There are numbers reasons for this. With citrus, fungicides are often applied to stop them rotting during transport and storage. Pesticides are also used to ensure that produce is cosmetically ‘perfect’ and free from blemishes, for example apple scab. Apple scab makes no difference to the taste or quality of the apple and poses no risk to the consumer. However, many retailers believe that the public wants cosmetically perfect fruit even it that means using pesticide to achieve that goal.

      “There has also been an increasing problem with glyphosate residues turn up in bread and other arable produce. The use of glyphosate in the arable sector has sky-rocketed over the last 30 years - the most recent government usage statistics shod that, in 2022, approximately 2,010 tonnes of glyphosate active substance were applied to UK arabel crops covering 2.4 million hectares of land - an astonishing amount!

     “Hundreds if the legal Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) have been weakened and tea has suffered some of the most dramatic rises, with safety limits for the chemicals Boscalid and Chlorantraniliprole both increased up to 4,000 times.

     “The good news? According to PRiF testing, organic produce almost never has pesticide residues present….

Food is one of the four elements that support and strengthen our immune system - the system we all have that keeps as healthy (the other three are exercise, low stress levels, and avoiding pharmaceutical drugs).

This is why there is a “The Is Medicine (FIM) movement which seeks to transform how we think about nutrition. I recently received an email from the Organic Consumers Association, which provided this information, quoted from Dariush Mozaffrarian, cardiologist and director of the Food is Medicine Institute in the USA.

“About 90% of Americans agree eating more healthy foods is important to prevent the onset of many health conditions, and 86% agree that eating healthy foods should be a priority for treating major health conditions …… but at the same time, they’re confused about how to eat healthy, because it’s complicated.’

The same applies outside the USA, certainly here in Britain. So do consider buying more organic food in future. It is just one element in the healthy food chain. Above all we should remember that Big Food, like Big Pharma, is not averse to selling us products that contains poison, regardless of the harm it does to their customers!

Just as there is no need for anyone to take pharmaceutical drugs/vaccines for their health, there is no reason for any of us to eat food that is known to contains even the smallest amounts of agricultural poison. Big Food, like Big Pharma, are keen to tell us that what they offer is “safe”. No-one should believe them!

Iatrogenic (or Doctor Induced) Disease

As more people are realising that ongoing epidemics of chronic disease are caused, in large part, by pharmaceutical drugs, is this causal link even more complex than we have realised? Some 15 years ago I started to construct my “Iatrogenic Disease” ebook. My objective was to produce evidence that is usually ignored - that taking pharmaceutical drugs can lead to side effects, serious adverse reactions, and to serious illness and disease. The evidence I found, and published, all comes from conventional medical literature (click on this link). However, the link between prescribed drugs and chronic illness is still too often ignored when disease causation is discussed.

Iatrogenic Disease. The Disease Inducing Effects (DIE’s) of Pharmaceutical Drugs and Vaccines

Take a look, it is entirely free to browse. It is largely the result of my years practicing as a homeopathy - consulting with so many people who were taking pharmaceutical drugs, who had developed illnesses that we clearly identified as ‘side effects’ of the drugs they were taking. Many patients, just by stopping taking the drug(s), were able to start the process of recovery from ill-health.

Yet the situation is probably more complicated than the simple sequence outlined, that is, (i) taking a drug »» (ii) side effect »» (iii) serious illness and disease. Consider, for instance, the headline on this Medscape article (dated 23 October 2025).

“Is diabetes linked to dementia. Latest evidence revealed”.

“At the 61st European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Vienna, Austria, researchers highlighted emerging evidence linking both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) with dementia and cognitive decline”.

The implication of this ‘emerging evidence’ is that the pharmaceutical drugs that are known to cause diabetes (and there are many, see this link) can also cause, or lead to dementia - so they too might need to be added to the list of drugs that cause dementia (there are also many of these, see this link). The Medscape article looks at the emerging evidence in some detail, and it is credible, if not compelling.

Suspecting the link is one thing. Proving it would be another. But the risk of taking any of the ‘implicated’ drugs, should surely be unthinkable.

Then on 7th November 2025 Medscape published another article.

“Common OTC Sleep Aid linked to Heart Failure Risk”.

Again, there are many pharmaceutical drugs known to cause sleeplessness (there are plenty of them, see this link). Once the patient suffers from sleeplessness they are often prescribed Melatonin, and this drug now be added to the list of drugs known to cause Heart Failure. One drug leads to another drug, all to deal with the ‘side effects’ of another drug.

Heart failure is not given as a ‘side effect’ of melatonin in conventional medical literature (see this NICE link). Why? Melatonin, as a hormone, has been around since 1958, and has been considered sufficiently safe to be sold over-the-counter (OTC). Yet only now has it been associated with heart failure? It is not unusual for pharmaceutical drugs to be considered safe, only to be found unsafe many decades later. But it is worrying because it begs the question - how many more drugs are causing how much more health issues that we know little or nothing about?

Yet perhaps the most concerning development during the last few years has been been numerous studies that have linked a variety of diseases with a compromised stomach microbiome. We are what we eat. Perhaps, but first we have to be able to digest what we eat in a way that successfully utilises the food’s potential value. And we should all be aware that one of the main culprits for compromising to stomach in antibiotic drugs. Over the last 70 years we have taken antibiotics as if they were sweeties (and, of course, sweeties that are entirely safe and effective)!

Antibiotic drugs kill microbes. Most antibiotics are taken by mouth so pass directly to the stomach. The stomach microbiome is made up of a complex mixture of microbes. So is it any wonder that it has been compromised? And that as a result of this we have developed a multiplicity of chronic diseases?

My conclusion? The full extent of the harm caused by pharmaceutical drugs to human ill-health is almost completely unknown. Patients know, and we are told, about only a tiny proportion of what doctors know. And doctors know only a minute proportion of the total picture of the harm their drugs cause.

However, the outcome of the pharmaceutical drug-taking bonanza of the last 70+ years is plain to see.

• Epidemics of almost any chronic disease you might wish to mention, each one continuing to grow annually.

• Health service provision everywhere near breaking point.

• Governments around the world bankrupting themselves by pouring ever-increasing amounts of money into yet more spending on pharmaceutical medicine.

• Drug companies getting richer, and spending their profits on keeping politicians, government, the mainstream media, et al., on board.

• Populations getting progressively sicker; without any understanding that the drugs they are taking are a large part of why they are sick.

This circularity can be broken only at one point. We have to stop pouring money and resources into drugs. We have to begin saying “no” to popping pills. We have to start accepting that pharmaceutical medicine has failed, miserably. And begin moving in other more positive directions - towards how we, as individuals, can live better to stay well, to take responsibility for our own health, and to look towards natural medical therapies to support us.
