Excalia Weight Loss Drug to Use Nausea as Appetite Suppressant?

I saw an interesting segment on Foxnews about a diet drug that is currenlty in it’s beginning testing phases (which means it’s a LONG time til market), called Excalia.  While some are saying this diet drug could be the “miracle weight loss pill”, the methods by which this pill are hypothesized to work are not exactly desirable to say the least. 

The Excalia drug, who’se developing drug company is set to offer an IPO for their stock to get the word out about this revolutionary diet product, works on the premise that it tricks the brain into not eating since it makes the subject feel nauseous and full.  I don’t know about you, but would you want to feel nauseous and even possibly be throwing up, simply to lose weight?  They said the pill Excalia has only been tested on about 100 subjects so far with good weight loss results, but this is far from done being tested for safety.
