Thousands Sue Weight Loss Drug Manufacturers With Serious Harm AllegationsBy Anthony Yates Thousands of people have come forward alleging serious harm caused by GLP-1 weight loss drugs. Those products include Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. According to a report by USA Today, at least 4,400 people have filed lawsuits since the first was filed in 2023. Those suits are now part of a consolidated federal and state litigation and target two drugmakers: Novo Nordisk, which manufactures Ozempic, and Eli Lilly, which makes Trulicity, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. The companies reportedly said they refute the allegations and will defend the safety of their products. The USA Today report focuses on three troubling cases in the growing lawsuit. 63-year-old Todd Engel was using Ozempic to manage his diabetes. However, he told the outlet that he lost vision in one eye after using the drug for four months. His medication reportedly never came up as a potential cause of his sight loss, and he lost vision in his other eye months later. 72-year-old JoHelen McClain reportedly used Wegovy in November 2023, aiming to shed a few pounds. In March 2024, she heard a noise like a "balloon popping," which she later discovered was the sound of her colon rupturing. USA Today also interviewed Mark Smith. He told the outlet that his wife, 62-year-old Robin Smith, was taking Mounjaro for weight loss. She reportedly visited the hospital twice for vomiting. Her doctor suggested she stop using the drug, but her problems persisted. Days later, doctors diagnosed her with Wernicke's encephalopathy, which the outlet explains is a neurological condition caused by a lack of thiamine or Vitamin B1. It's often linked to malnutrition. The outlet points out that an estimated 12% of Americans use GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and that the plaintiff's account for a small percentage of users. USA Today also cites a 2024 court filing by the two drug companies. They explain that the known risks are reflected in FDA-approved labeling, which the FDA has reviewed more than 40 times. USA Today details a Gallup Study, which claims that the usage of GLP-1 drugs doubled between 2024 and 2025.Chief of Research and Development at the St. Louis Veterans Affairs Health Care System, Ziyad Al-Aly, reportedly stated that no medicine is risk-free. However, he believes the benefits outweigh the risks for most patients. Legal challenges are expected to take several years.

Carnivore.
Carnivore is not about eating meat. Carnivore is a mindset. It’s a mindset that we adapt to our physiology and our psyche that we will only put into our bodies that which provides the utmost nutrition for us.
We make up our minds that while a particular food, whether it be a vegetable, grain or something sweet, may taste good to us, it just doesn’t provide any benefit.
We have one food that provides all of the nutrients needed for human survival and that is meat. Why eat anything else? The only reason would be for pleasure. You have a desire to put aside nutrition for a moment of pleasure and nutrition is not your top priority.
So for those that struggle or get off track, you might want to examine your mindset, your priorities, what you want for your life.
Do you want to Do Carnivore or do you want to Be Carnivore?
It is a mindset.
If you consider plants, sugar or alcohol as a toxic substances to your body, the question becomes: do you moderate the poison dosage or avoid putting it in the body? That is my mindset. I know these are not good for me, so unless it's unintentional, I am abstaining from all sources of it
