Reading Time: <1 minutehttps://www.amwa.jp/ The Advanced Medical Science Wellness Academy, where I serve as vice-representative director, is also absolutely opposed to the GLP-1 diet, which is being promoted at beauty clinics with exaggerated claims of its weight loss effects. Some cosmetic surgery and beauty clinics promote it with bait-and-switch phrases that are far removed from medical care, such as "Easy weight loss!" "Safe and secure!" "No consultation required," and emphasize only the benefits of diet injections, which are a problem in that they are a business that prioritizes profit over the risks to patients. In fact, they are causing health damage, and we are sounding the alarm about the current situation in which a number of medical institutions are using online prescriptions as a selling point for diet sales. The Japan Medical Association was quick to issue a warning, calling it a violation of medical ethics. The Japan Diabetes Society also takes an opposing stance... https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASN6K6QPFN6KULBJ00L.html The National Consumer Affairs Center also issued a warning. http://www.kokusen.go.jp/news/data/n-20200903_1.html While many diabetes researchers and specialists are against it, doctors who have no experience or knowledge of treating diabetic patients are using the GLP-1 diet, which is for profit and only for the purpose of dieting, as an act that violates the risks and medical ethics. We will continue our awareness activities. https://www.jaam.or.jp/pdf/20200903_joint-statement.pdf Please note that some medical institutions do not comply with online medical treatment guidelines.
