1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Sitsy and with her with Kate Ritchie podcast.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Roxy Jasenko wasn't feeling comfortable. Did you read this story yesterday?

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 3: I saw the photos online, but I didn't click.

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 4: No, it's getting me across it made what happened to her?

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 5: Okay, she's talking a zempi right.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: And when she was going through her you know, she

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: had breast cancer and she was going through her treatment there,

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: she put on a lot of weight, fifteen kilograms.

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 5: She wanted to get rid of it quickly.

10
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: Everyone was saying to do it properly, to eat right

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: and go to the gym, but she said, I wanted

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: to lose it very quickly. So she tried all that

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: and it wasn't working. I didn't shed the weight. So

14
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: I thought, I am reading and hearing about a zempiic

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: all the time, so I'm going to try it. I

16
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: went to my doctor. I begged him. He said, Roxy,

17
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: can't have a look in the mirror. He made me

18
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: walk into his room and looking myself in the mirror.

19
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 2: I'm not giving you a prescription. You don't need it.

20
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: So I went somewhere else and I got it. God,

21
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: you would be blown away by the number of people

22
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: who will give you scripts for that stuff. The thing is, though,

23
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: the only place that she could get it was at

24
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: a chemist Denara, so she paid someone two and a

25
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: half thousand dollars to drive to Naur to go and

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: get some zempie.

27
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: Are you serious?

28
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: The only one I could get was a one milligram

29
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: pen of a zempick. So basically, you're supposed to start

30
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: on point two five milligrams and a number of weeks

31
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: or months later you transition onto a higher dose.

32
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 4: That's four times or three times the quantity.

33
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: So she said, I could only get the one the

34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: miller sorry, millerleter, I'm milligram.

35
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 5: Sorry, that's right, that's all I could get. I felt

36
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 5: like I was a junkie. I thought I needed this

37
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 5: for a quick fix. So she's just gone bang into

38
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 5: the system.

39
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: So what are they like, ePIE.

40
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 4: It's an induction, it's an injection.

41
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: Well you would do that into your stomach, yeah, if

42
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: you're a diabetic.

43
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 5: She thought, I was desperate. I need to lose this weight.

44
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: Supposed to start on point two five, she started on

45
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 2: one milligram.

46
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 4: What happened?

47
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: Why is she sharing this?

48
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: Because you don't need to lose weight, she said, What

49
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: followed was uncontrollable vomiting, NonStop epilepsy type shaking, three days

50
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: in a drug overdose clinic where she was told her

51
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: organs could have shut down.

52
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 4: Did she lose the fifteen I thought.

53
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: I was actually going to die. My God, For the

54
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: first twelve hours, I was okay. I vomited four times

55
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: that morning, once in a high car when I went

56
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: to work. That's when I made a video. I thought

57
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: it was funny at work. Then it progressively got worse.

58
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: I called an ambulance. The ambulance rocked up at Saint Vincent's,

59
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: though they didn't know how to treat it because it

60
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: was a relatively new drug at the time. The problem

61
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: was because it was such a new drug, they weren't

62
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: equipped so and there was an alert going around that

63
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: there was faker zimpic that had amphetamine in it.

64
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: You're not getting that from the now of pharmacy though on.

65
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: No, you're not.

66
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: Her message to those considering trying the pharmaceutical is simple,

67
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: don't what the other option would be. Don't go to

68
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: a doctor stocked, stick to the dosage limit. If they

69
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: don't administer it, don't go to another doctor. Then don't

70
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: pay someone two and a half thousand dollars to go

71
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: to nour don't buy one milligram pen and inject yourself

72
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: and overdose on a center.

73
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: Outside of that, it's a simple message.

74
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: It's absolute maddness.

75
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 6: The two people that I know that are on it

76
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 6: one still now, yeah, one of them in particular.

77
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: It's worked quite well for them.

78
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: Have they been sick, No, they haven't been sick.

79
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 6: But I think basically you feel nauseous for the first

80
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 6: couple of days, maybe when you've injected yourself, and then

81
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 6: there might be a little bit of action out the

82
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 6: back passage. But that's for like forty eight hours.

83
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: That's two days out of the week. That's a huge

84
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: part of the week.

85
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: But for me, that's if your body is rejecting it

86
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: all you're but you are feeling nauseous like you said, Kate,

87
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: which a lot of people do, or it is coming

88
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: out of the backpack passage. That for me is warning signs.

89
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

90
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 7: Look, I do know that when you start any kind

91
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 7: of medication and you have to take small doses to

92
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 7: start with, your body can sometimes reject it. It can

93
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 7: kind of reject it and it doesn't really lie. It

94
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 7: can make you feel a bit sick, even if the

95
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 7: medication is meant to be working for you. But I

96
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 7: think if you're pushing through and your body still say

97
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 7: please stop doing yesterday.

98
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 5: I don't need any more.

99
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 6: The hardest part is what happens when you decide to stop.

100
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 6: You know, are you just doing it because you're going

101
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 6: on a on a summer break and you want to

102
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 6: look good in your bathers? What happens after that? You

103
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 6: just go back to normal and start stacking on the kegs.

104
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: You know.

105
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: The only winner out of this tell us the UNI

106
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: student on air tasker who got two and a half

107

Speaker 2: thousand dollars to drive to Nara he lost fifteen is

108
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,080

Speaker 4: Thanks Jo.

113
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

114
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 8: I use the compound chemist because I didn't want to

115
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 8: be taking ozmpex or femic glut hide away from anybody

116
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 8: else who actually needed it. Yeah, diabetics, exactly so. And

117
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 8: I was recommended by my doctor just to lose that

118
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 8: five kilos. Didn't need to lose a lot of weight

119
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 8: started at point two five. Yes, you do get side effects.

120
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 8: You do need to go to the bassroom quite a bit,

121
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 8: but that's also a part of losing the weight and

122
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 8: losing the toxins and stuff out of your system.

123
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 4: Do you just inject it in your stomach?

124
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 8: Yeah?

125
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 5: Right, okay?

126
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: And did you lose the five?

127
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 8: Yeah?

128
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 7: And what happened after that? Did you so you stopped

129
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 7: the ZMPIC or the medication. Have you kept your weight?

130
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 8: You do keep your You do keep your weight off

131
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 8: unless you're eating like a crazy person, which you end

132
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 8: up eating like a crazy person because you kind of

133
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 8: lose all your taste bloods, well not your taste bloods,

134
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 8: but you just don't get the crazy for food like

135
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 8: you right, like when you know your body tells you

136
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 8: that you're hungry, you're not, actually don't. You don't get

137
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 8: that hungry feeling anymore.

138
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: Okay, but then it comes back with a vengeance.

139
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 8: It's not not a vengeance, but you kind of get

140
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 8: I got a sugar craving.

141
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 5: Did you did you up the dose?

142
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 4: Gin?

143
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 5: Did you go from point two five up? Yes?

144
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 8: Point two five to point five and then it goes

145
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 8: two point seventy five, and then it goes to one.

146
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 5: See this is the.

147
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 8: Thing you get to go to that.

148
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: It's the same with any drug though, isn't It is

149
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: that the more that you take of it, the more

150
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: the immune community that your body takes, and you're going

151
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: to need more and more to get your desired results.

152
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 8: But I my recommendation and to anybody that's going to

153
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 8: use it, take it easy, like they say, to do

154
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 8: it for a month. If you're still feeling the side effects,

155
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 8: do it for longer than a month at point five yep,

156
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 8: if you're still losing the weight, because and yeah, because

157
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 8: it's just it can mess you around a little bit.

158
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 4: I think you look great with the five kilos.

159
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 3: On due to your metabolism.
