PYY3-36 appetite control nasal spray may be effective, yet still misused by consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The first thing to realize about this nastech product is that it's not really a prescription drug at all, in my view. It's a synthesized version of the naturally-occurring hormone produced by the endocrine system to regulate your appetite. It's almost misclassified as a drug, although the way in which it will be used is certainly drug-like in that it is designed to alter the biochemistry of the human body.

This may have seemed like a great choice years ago when this agreement was reached between nastech and Merck, but that was before the Vioxx scandal, and that was before we saw many critics questioning the ethics and credibility of Merck, myself included. Now, this is my personal opinion, but I believe that through its actions, Merck has proven itself to be an untrustworthy, unethical company. In fact, I think it belongs on the list of the top five most evil corporations in America, right along with EXXONMOBIL, McDonalds Restaurants and Monsanto.

And that makes a reasonable person question the credibility of any positive drug studies associated with Merck In other words, if this nastech PYY Nasal Spray turns out to have nothing but positive, glowing studies showing tremendous weight loss, a thoughtful, rational person would obviously wonder, "Did Merck suppress the negative studies on this product as well?" That's certainly the question I would have. So this association with Merck damages the credibility of what could potentially be a very good product.

And if nastech were able to market this through some other company other than Merck, it could actually be to their benefit because now Merck has bad baggage. Distributing your drug through Merck, in my opinion, is like tying an anchor around your ankles and jumping into the river. You now have to swim even harder just to stay afloat because your credibility has been questioned. Then again, that's only my own opinion of Merck, and not everyone agrees with that.

But let's say that nastech manages to overcome this and Merck manages to reclaim its credibility by reforming internal processes and making a commitment to put safety above profits. So, even if this magical transformation somehow occurs in Merck, what then? What about the PYY3-36 Nasal Spray? Is it a good drug? Well, that depends on how you use it. And unfortunately, the way it is likely to be used by most Americans is as a replacement for making healthy lifestyle changes. And again, this is unfortunate, and it's no fault of the drug itself.

I can just continue with my unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle of junk foods and convenience foods, and still manage to lose weight with this nastech product." I'm sure the product won't be marketed that way. It will be marketed as an aid to help people who are making healthy lifestyle changes. But nevertheless, this is not the way most people will ultimately think about it, either consciously or unconsciously. People want the easiest pathway to solving their weight problem, and they're going to seek the path of least resistance.

Hoodia gordonii helps for weight loss, but isn't a miracle solution Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I suspect that the much-hyped PYY3-36 nasal spray, produced by a company called nastech, might offer another realistic appetite suppressant solution. But that product is only in trials right now, and it won't even be available on the market for several years. It's also a drug, meaning you'd need a prescription, which makes it a lot more difficult to get than hoodia gordonii. So don't put any short-term hopes on the PYY nasal spray. Right now, hoodia gordonii is probably the best thing going.
