There’s this drug Wegovy used for weight lost. It’s an injection. It works. Yesterday daughter, who pays out of pocket for it, was in with her Doctor for a follow up appt discussing her progress with this drug and conversation turned to how expensive it was, and how it’s hard to get insurance coverage for it. (Only certain insurance will pay for it and only when a person is substantially overweight.) The doctor told her drug was expensive because the medical industry doesn’t want people being able to afford it and losing weight as there is more profit in over weight, unhealthy people.

To Big Pharma and our government, we are mere cash cows and lab rats.
My solution...be your own doctor...
Yeah, to a large degree I am my own doctor....except for when I need a prescription that I can get only through a licensed doctor. I recently had a severe sinus infection, and had to ask my GP doctor for antibiotics and steroids to fight it off. I don't have either of those things in my preparations room or my go-bag.
You don't need a prescription to buy fish antibiotics. They work just as well as stuff sold at your local pharmacy. You can buy them online without prescription at veterinary medicine suppliers like Allivet and Aquanest. For everything else, look for Indian pharmacies online and get it shipped overseas.
