Hypnotism can cause former heroin users to experience the physical effects of being high on heroin, including vomiting, by reactivating drug-related memories.
"Charles Manson was able to hypnotize people into getting loaded. So, he was able to get them high on heroin through hypnotism... Danny and the other guy that had done heroin before threw up. Apparently when you take heroin sometimes you can vomit. The third guy who'd never done it before didn't because he didn't know to do that. So, they weren't able to reactivate his memories."

IGF-1 is used alongside GLP-1 receptor agonists to mitigate bone density and muscle mass loss.
"I know that they were using different things like they were using IGF-1 along with GLP-1s to mitigate the bone density and muscle tissue loss." (said at 1:53:48)
No published clinical trials or established medical guidelines evaluating the co-administration of exogenous IGF-1 alongside GLP-1 receptor agonists to mitigate bone density or muscle tissue loss were located; this does not prove the claim false. While published research investigates how GLP-1 receptor agonists interact with the endogenous growth hormone/IGF-1 signaling axis in bone and muscle metabolism, therapeutic use of IGF-1 alongside GLP-1 receptor agonists for body composition preservation remains clinically unverified in the published literature.
