    Congress introduce bill to restrict manufacture of GLP1s.

    Mostly? I have not heard of a single instance where government authorities have gone after a user of grey weight loss peptides.

    It's too late to edit my own post, but yes, I meant to refer to Dr. Jason Fung.

    10 years in Crypto here to help

    Surprisingly, I have never lost money when sending crypto. I always worry that I'll do it wrong but it hasn't happened yet.

    Suggestions for tightening lose skin.

    I'll pass on a suggestion that I haven't tried myself and about which I'm skeptical. There is a nephrologist, Dr. Jason Fund, who advocates for fasting, often multi-day fasts, to help lose weight. He said that people who do those fasts lose any loose skin. I suspect if that if that worked...

    Oral Wegovy approved by FDA

    Agreed, This isn't the best drug, although ten years ago it would have seemed like a miracle. However, the lower cost and ability to avoid using a syringe will result in many people taking it who wouldn't take the other medications.

    Blood Pressure/Hypertension not dropping

    My cardiologist thought that my blood pressure was not likely to go down much. However, it ended up dropping enough that I was able to stop taking one blood pressure medicine. Blood pressure is weird. Thin, fit people can have high blood pressure. Weight loss improved my lipids. It got...

    Congress introduce bill to restrict manufacture of GLP1s.

    When SRY and SSA disappeared, prices went up. I haven't checked prices in the last month or two, but it would be nice if they're heading down. I believe that peptides will continue to go down in price as the manufacturers get more experience making them. Semaglutide is dirt cheap and...

    Congress introduce bill to restrict manufacture of GLP1s.

    My quick read of the proposed bill mentioned in this thread is that it only applies to compounding pharmacies that are selling their stuff out of state. It may be mean that people who get compounded GLP-1 drugs will have to get them in-state.

    It's now Permanent: Possession of Syringes and Needles is Now Legal in California

    Sometimes you do. Sometimes I become a little upset. Sometimes I'm glad that you're posting the stuff that I would like to post but I am too wimpy to do so. Sometimes you make me think. I prefer, in general, that there be a wide variety of acceptable opinions. I'm not suggesting we talk...

    First Reta Phase III Results

    The reta weight loss results were about what I would have expected from the phase 2 trials. Yes, the weight loss was greater but the study lasted longer. The side effects similarly seemed to be about the same as in the phase 2 trials. Still this is very good news. The phase 2 results were...

    First Reta Phase III Results

    Perhaps However, they were medically supervised and got to hear the advice from medical professionals. It looks like we'll have to wait for the study results to be published before we'll know.

    It's now Permanent: Possession of Syringes and Needles is Now Legal in California

    @AndyPanda. I was working out. I actually worked out far more before starting weight loss medication. I started these drugs when I realized that I was unable to stop myself from eating as much as I was eating. Was it a lack of self-discpline? In a way: If I had perfect self-discipline, I'd...
