#RIPRobReiner Our careers and lives intersected often over the decades from Rob writing the pilot script for Happy Days and then as we each shifted from acting careers into directing and producing. He proved to be a superlative filmmaker, a supportive colleague and at all times a dedicated citizen. Rob will be missed on so many levels. My heart goes out to his family and his many close friends.

In 1968, Bobby Hutton, an original member of the Black Panther Party was shot dead by the Oakland police, unarmed. He was only 17 years.

After being bombed with tear gas and trapped in a burning basement, he came out shirtless to prove he was unarmed and the police immediately shot him 12 times and he died.

He was only 17 years.

-Robert James Hutton also known as "Lil' Bobby” born on April 21, 1950 and at 16-years old he became the first member and the first treasurer of the Black Panther Party. Hutton met Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale at the North Oakland Neighborhood Anti-Poverty Center, a "government-funded agency that employed local youth to work on community service projects.
On April 6, 1968, two days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and with riots raging across cities in the U.S., Hutton was traveling with Eldridge Cleaver and other BPP members in a car. The group were stopped by two Oakland Police officers and had a confrontation. The two police officers were shot. Hutton and Cleaver fled to an apartment building where they engaged in a 90-minute gun battle with the Oakland Police Department. Some incoming bullets had also caught fire. Ultimately, Cleaver was wounded, and Hutton voluntarily surrendered to avoid getting burnt alive. According to Cleaver, although Hutton had stripped down to his underwear and had his hands raised in the air to prove that he was unarmed, Oakland Police shot the 17 year old Hutton more than 12 times, leading to his death. The Police report claimed that Hutton was attempting to run and was wearing a trench coat and his hands were not visible.

NEW ARTICLE: OZEMPIC's Serious Side Effects have people looking for "Nature's Ozempic" - What's the science behind BERBERINE as a weight loss supplement? And is it much more than that?

OZEMPIC is the FDA approved Diabetes drug that everyone is using for WEIGHT LOSS!

But, it isn't without risks of very serious side effects.

Ozempic, known generically as semaglutide, was approved in 2017 by the US FDA for use in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Ozempic is a weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin.

Ozempic isn’t approved for weight loss but that's a famous side effect, so some doctors have been prescribing it off-label for that purpose and it has "gone viral" for weight loss since 2022.

First, it's expensive. List price for month’s supply is $900 for Ozempic and $1,300 for Wegovy (which contains semaglutide — the same active ingredient as Ozempic & is approved for weight loss).

Then, Ozempic's side effect profile isn't that great and doesn't just include the typical nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain or constipation (in 30% for 1mg, or up to 70% for the 2.4mg), but can also include severe side effects such as:

- gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying)
- ileus (intestinal paralysis)
- hair loss (in 3%)
- lean muscle loss
- gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, kidney injury
- malnutrition
- worsening eating disorders
- suicidal thoughts

How common are some of these "RARE" side effects? No one really knows.

One man has filed a lawsuit claiming Ozempic caused his necrotizing pancreatitis (his pancreas died)

Regulators in the European Union and United Kingdom have signaled that they are investigating reports that Ozempic and similar drugs are causing thoughts of suicide and self-harm.

For patients without Type 2 diabetes, Wegovy (semaglutide) and Saxenda (liraglutide) both carry warnings about suicidal behavior and ideation on their official FDA labels. But when either drug is sold for use as a diabetes medication, as Ozempic (semaglutide) or Victoza (liraglutide), there is no such warning.

FDA recommends that semaglutide should not be prescribed to "patients with a history of suicidal attempts or active suicidal ideation," and that users should be monitored for emerging or worsening depression.

So what is BERBERINE and why is it being called "Nature's Ozempic"?

I review the recent research on this plant alkaloid derived from a number of plants including barberry and goldenseal, that has been used for 3000 years to treat gastrointestinal disorders.

BERBERINE, taken daily at 1000mg to 1500mg has been shown to:

- significantly reduce body mass index (BMI)
- significantly reduce waist circumference (WC)
- reduce blood glucose
- reduce hemoglobin A1c
- reduce Triglycerides
- reduce Total cholesterol, LDL, increase HDL
- increase insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion
- inhibit gluconeogenesis, inhibit fat production
- reduce inflammation (including in the liver)
- treat diabetes, obesity, fatty liver, hypercholesterolemia, gout
- improve lipid dysregulation
- improve gut dysbiosis
- inhibit cholesterol absorption
- inhibit fat storage

The side effect profile of BERBERINE is excellent with only mild gastrointestinal symptoms in ~ 30%, which are transient and resolve.

THE COMPARISON:

Ozempic $900/month, Berberine $25/month

Ozempic with greater short term weight loss, Berberine with milder / modest weight loss

Ozempic with risk of severe side effects, Berberine with no risk of severe side effects

Berberine with a long list of impressive long term health benefits for those with Obesity, Diabetes, high cholesterol, high lipids, fatty liver and metabolic syndrome.

In conclusion, BERBERINE IS "Nature's Ozempic", but that doesn't do it justice and it's hardly a compliment, because BERBERINE is so much more than that.

I was very impressed with the research on BERBERINE when it came to obesity, diabetes and weight loss.

So it's either the Hollywood/Big pharma expensive quick "weight loss fix" with many risks (Ozempic) - or a long term genuine health solution (Berberine) with a more gradual weight loss.

Sadie Alexander, the first black woman economist. She became the first Black woman in the U.S. to earn a doctorate degree in economics in 1921.

Sadie came from a family with a rich history of academic achievement. Her father was the first black American to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. One uncle was the first black American to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and another became the Dean of Education at Howard University. She would follow the lineage, becoming the first black American to earn a Ph.D. in Economics and the first black American woman to earn a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania, among other notable academic achievements.

But while she would achieve many firsts in education, Sadie's lasting legacy stemmed from her impactful work as a lawyer and economist, where she fought for equal rights while taking an ardent, vocal stance on the importance of black Americans' achievements and contributions to the nation's progress. This latter effort came at a particularly important time in U.S. history, as the eugenics movement, which aimed in part to show the inferiority of black Americans, had gained popularity.

Though she wouldn't achieve the same fame, some described Sadie as one of the most important civil rights leaders in modern history, mentioning her amongst people such as Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr., and Sojourner Truth.
