It's just about eliminating every non physiological food that cause harm, and yes a single cookie time to time is harmful and can completely restrain detoxification process (i experienced it), dairy & especially grains are something to absolutely avoid. Corn cookie should cause less damage but still a grain.

But you right, thinking we are not allowed something is bad, it's just not true, you can eat everything you want but you'll have to deal with the damage they can cause, it's a choice not an obligation. Gluten & dairy are "as addictive as heroin" so it's hard to stop yes.

I'd say sugar is probably the hardest thing to give up. Though grains, like bread are so easy to use for lunch, so giving it up causes more inconvenience than anything else.
So easy to reach for something sweet when you're feeling down.

I'm finding that writing things down when I eat them makes me more conscious of what I'm having and where I can make improvements:

Yesterday: Breakfast - Nothing. Lunch - Apple and 2 slices of Tiger bread with butter. Afternoon snack - Some fudge (Grandparents when on a little holiday and always buy me shit like this), a fudge yogurt and a pack on nik-naks. Dinner - Cheese and Tomato Ravaoli and vegetables. I then went to the cinema and had a large box of popcorn and pepsi max with my girlfriend (oops). I had a 30 minute bike ride yesterday, on a side note.

Today (so far): Breakfast - Porridge with flaxseed mix. Mid-morning snack: Apple and pack of skips. Lunch: Chicken pasta/salad. Dinner: Thai Chicken Curry and rice, with naan bread.

Some improvements to make, for sure.

hello guys,

i would like to share my success story with you.I was suffering from chronic low libido which i am sure was caused by accutane.I experienced complete absence of sexual sensation on my genitals and as a result erectile dysfunction and difficulty having an orgasm.After i stopped taking accutane my symptoms strangely got worse as the time passed instead of improving.I tried various things to reverse my libido loss such as healthy diet,some drugs that were supposed to help improve libido, but nothing worked.I then found a report in the internet about dr. Pezzi who has written the book ''the science of sex'' and claimed that he reversed his libido loss caused by accutane by taking the drug finasteride.I was determined to find a solution to my problem so i decided to try it.I began taking 1mg/day and then slowly increased to 5mg/day.I took it for a total of 5 months.During that time i started experiencing a return of my acne which was accompanied by a small increase in libido and a slight return of sexual sensation.I continued taking it as long as i noticed some positive effects.The big surprise happened when i decided to stop taking the drug.I experienced a huge increase in libido,sexual sensation and acne.My spontaneous and morning erections which were gone since i had taken accutane came back and i no longer had problems reaching an orgasm.I don't know what exactly this drug did to my system but it worked.6 months have passed since i stopped taking finasteride and i still experience all the positive effects,so i believe the effects are permanent.I now feel like a normal man of my age(i am 28 years old).The only side effect i had was the return of acne but i believe that has to do with the return of my libido but i prefer having acne and a healthy libido than having no acne and no libido.

Hi, I'e reading the whole thread and for the moment I am still in page 21. However I would like to say something regarding weight lifting. I am suffering the long term side effects of isotretinoine specially with joint pain, tendonitis and lower back pain. It looks like my joints are made of glass and they get injured because of strong exercise. I must say that strong exercise doesn't mean that I have been practising extreme sports, I mean normal lifting exercises that people do in the gym. I am telling this because if you are experiencing joint pain, be very careful with lifting. Our tendons are dry and they don't have any kind of elasticity, so our tissues can't be injured easily.

@Dimmer- Thanks for sharing this. I have always wondered if any Accutane victim had tried taking finasteride as recommended by Kevin Pezzi. Very very strange that a drug well-known to cause persistent sexual dysfunction could reverse persistent sexual dysfunction caused by Accutane.

I am too horrified of finasteride to ever consider taking it, but am glad you dropped-in to share your experience.

I want to share one Info about myself. I took propecia 13-14 years ago. I can not remember exactly but just for a few months. Now this year after two months of accutane I suffer many symthomps. I have had no change after propecia, I was also not aware of post-finasteride sendroms till this year. Can it be connected to propecia?

It seems that finasteride upregulates igf-1:

The expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 in follicular dermal papillae correlates with therapeutic efficacy of finasteride in androgenetic alopecia.

''IGF-1 was up-regulated by finasteride treatment in 4 of 9 patients''

Hey guys.

Really think taking finasteride could be disastrous, but if you want to risk it because of the success story above, go for it.

[Edited link out]

Above is a link to a video I've made regarding the potential problems with porn.

In the past, towards the end of last year, I tried giving up porn and masturbation to see if anything improved.

During that time, I had some amazing sex... I actually laughed afterwards because my penis worked and it felt good.

It wasn't like that every day, and I believe I got to around 20-25 days without viewing porn.

In the end, I convinced myself it couldn't really do any harm and I'd never be well because 'Accutane has done this to me'.

Though it's possible Accutane has had an affect on our brains (rather than penis' in my opinion), my sexual dyfunction first became noticeable a few years after stopping the drug... So, how could Accutane be the cause?

Regardless, porn can do no good for the reasons I mention in my video, and others.

There's a large amount of people that say they went from totally tired, emotionally numb, socially anxious, depressed and unmotivated to 'normal and happy' when giving up fapping it to porn. I thought it was bullshit at first, but it's not at all. I also thought I didn't have a problem with porn because I wasn't wanking off every night or anything.

However, if you watch porn reguarly (once a week or more), you likely have a problem.

For me, the main problems were/are: delayed ejaculation and reduced sensitivity.

I want to inspire you to give this a try because I really did notice a difference at times when I wasn't watching porn.

It can take a few months or more for your mind to adapt to normal again.

Fuck that mind-ruining porn.

It's another thing that saps your energy and overloads your brain with dopamine, the same way a drug would (This has been proven, scientifically).

Chronic toxicity evolve in time, i think everyone had their symptoms who got higher and higher with time. Libido = adrenals.

Porn just provoke a need for more and more sexual stimulation to get the same result, like a drug, but it has nothing to do with us and our afflicted adrenals & global toxicity.

I have a feeling that people around you successfully make you believe that it's all in your mind, sadly physiology won't agree with that.

Yo Nick,

 

It seems very peculiar that the green makes your inflammation worse considering so many people bang on about its anti-inflammatory properties.

Also yes, I don't know how good weed would be for those with anxiety disorders. I can imagine that could lead to some intense paranoia!

 

 

Just out of interest do you have any sexual sides? I'm still looking for my null hypothesis in regards to the sexual sides i.e. does it do nothing.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yo, Cranky. Can I call you Cranky?

The only sexual side effects I have I feel are the result of masturbating too much/anxiety/intestinal inflammation from eating poorly. I generally don't have a problem with sensitivity or getting it up, at least initially, but my erections can frequently come and go in one sitting. I feel like a lot of it for me is psychosomatic.

As far as THC/CBD... Some strains are higher in CBD, which might be why it's helpful to some and not others, and it is supposed to reduce inflammation; however, it does something negative to my insides. It feels like it turns my intestines inside out and there's this dry heat and acidic feeling that goes all the way up my esophegus. CBD alone also triggered my last big flare up that lasted for months and caused intense cramping.

Anonny, if you're going to yell at Stefan for preaching, at least stop being a hypocrite in saying your way is the only way.

Diet is the only thing that has ever worked for me, as well as the only thing that others have reported completely curing them (that I'm aware of). Whether it holds symptoms off or cures it over time is up for debate, but exactly what kind of diet should at least be left to the individual as everyone is different. Cutting processed/greasy/fatty foods is a start, and then empty carbs and stuff like that, but each person should find what works for them. I was able to eat a Freebird burrito for breakfast (with queso, cheese, and hotsauce) and about 12 hours later (going longer without eating really helps) just have salad and tilapia and I felt better than ever. I was also taking anti-inflammatory supplements at the time though, which I think everyone should- fish oil, turmeric, whatever works for you. Also means you don't have to work as hard on your diet. *shrug* I believe in balance and still enjoying yourself while treating it. But ultimately, it's up to you and your diet choices as to how symptom free you want to be vs the food you aren't willing to give up.

PS, not eating as much/eating better food/taking longer between meals and taking an aspirin/turmeric/fish oil every now and then showed me dramatic skin/stomach improvement in a matter of days, not weeks or months. I would seriously challenge any of you to make a diet change and tell me it doesn't help you.

The choice is yours

Cheers

Of course adrenals play a big part in overall sex drive.

However, if you happen to watch porn reguarly and can get a boner and jizz to that, but not in the bedroom... porn is a larger cause.

Not to mention, if (as is the case for many of us here, if not all) our adrenals are wacked out... ejaculation on a regular basis is going to use up a lot of our remaining energy.

I wouldn't dismiss this, especially if you watch hardcore porn.
And if you watch porn, I doubt you're watching 'real life sex'.

Nick makes a good point. We do have a bunch of different foods available, so unless you have killer willpower (Oh hey, again - try giving up porn and touching your winkle for a few weeks or more) you'll be beating yourself for giving in, or denying yourself of things you really want.

Sure, cavemen didn't eat chocolate or (Insert Other Food Item Here), but that's because they didn't have access to it.

Some fella pops over to him and says hey - Taste this - 'Mmmmmm.... that's real good'.

If something was so bad for us, our body would reject it.
So be realistic rather that righteous about it.

Don't have a cookie if you don't want one.

But, if you're at the office and someone's got birthday cakes... and you say 'No. I'm not allowed one. Unhappy face' - just having a cunting cake!!

My way is not "my" way, its simply physiology that i learnd and experienced. "99.8%" of people doesn't know a thing about it, but that doesn't make it wrong.

If something was so bad for us, our body would reject it.

Absolutely wrong. He will reject it with time or directly via the emunctories but when the thing get absorbed, too late, especially if you continiously take it. The body can learn to tolerate a poison, even if it's not a good thing for him and still does damage.

And again it's not about being allowed or not, it's about knowing physiology and the consequences of taking poison. If you are too weak to not to take a poison, you'll never get better ofc. And being under the influence of some opioid isn't exactly a "true" choice.

Sorry Indigo, but this is not true. Porn is not damaging brains nor erections. Masturbation is good, very good for our body and mind. Organs that are not used loose their ability to work, that's how nature works.

In your case, the thing is that you have a low libido, much lower than a normal guy. That means that you need more time to recover after an orgasm. A healthy man normally requieres some hours to get totally recovered after having sex (and masturbation). Your case is diferent because your libido is low and you probably require some days. If you masturbate every day you won't be recovered. But that doesn't mean that masturbation and porn are bad.

For most of people, porn is a OJ. It is a great thing to masturbate with your couple watching porn. A different thing is to be addicted or obsessed, like any other addiction.

If you have a bit of a read into the site indigo posted it clearly states multiple, if not hundreds of times that casual porn use isn't really anything to be worried about. Im talking maybe like once or twice a week with some pretty g rated shit, as opposed to the stuff you normally find on the internet.

What this site describes is the more adverse side effects of high speed porn, multiple times a day, for years sometimes decades on end.

We have grown up being able to witness some pretty graphic stuff and any guy who has a computer would agree he has stumbled across the triple penetration girls eating turds, japanese chicks being fucked by squids etc etc more than once.

This are the main points this website is trying to raise.

Indigos video was a good summary of that, props to him. do some more research man

Yeah.

Fact of the matter is there are thousands of young people with sexual dysfunction because of porn.

Download K9 and stop watching that brain-rotting stuff, unless you want to continue to have problems and a distorted mind.

It makes a massive difference, regardless if Accutane is in part responsible or not.

In response to the argument that masturbation is normal and healthy... that comes up often.

The problem is all these videos available (most of which are filth)... so people masturbate not because they're horny, but because they're bored or have developed a habit.

A bad one.

Dude, my problems started before I even had access to high-speed internet porn. Think underwear ad pages and playboys.

My rate of pleasuring myself actually dropped big time before my libido died and it began with starting Accutane.

Why watch porn or masturbate when it's no longer enjoyable?

If you think this over-masturbating nonsense applies to yourself and your problems after Accutane, then please keep it to yourself and quit trying to drag the rest of us down.

Puritans have been thousands of years trying to convince people that masturbation is bad. However all studies says that it is very healthy (don't confuse with sex addiction). They never have found a real reason to stop it. Now they are concentrating in porn but they are wasting their time. Porn doesn't create sexual dysfunction, that's absolutely false, filth porn either. Sexual dysfunction is much more complex and most of times is because of psychological problems like fear or stress.

That page says so stupid things such as "Evolution has not prepared your brain for today's Internet porn", and that porn modifies the brain. Of course it modifies the brain, everything that you experience modifies the brain. Is your brain prepared for internet? is it prepared for so much information? What about mobile telephones? And movies? Brain is not prepared for nothing, but fortunately it is elastic because of its adaptability.

It is a fact, internet is making us stupid. Do must stop using it?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/7967894/How-the-Internet-is-making-us-stupid.html

Sorry for this porn apology but I am 37 years old and me and my friends have been consuming porn since we were kids, and anyone of us has experienced sexual problems. I am telling this because I see that there are lot of young people here and I don't want them to be confused with this. Enjoy sex, enjoy porn, enjoy erotism, enjoy life.

 

 

GOOD NEWS,

 

 

Now I woud like to share some information regarding isotretinoine long term side effects. I am from Barcelona and I have been looking for information in Spanish but I haven't found so much than english. However I found a guy who was totally devastated because of this drug. He had severeeye dryness, skin, joint pain and some other side effects. He was depressed and considered seriously to commit suicide. In 2012 he wrote to different spanish newspapers warning about isotretinoine side effects, and he even made a blog and a website in order to share information. The website doesn't exist anymore and the guy totally disappeared from internet. I though that he killed himself and I decided to find him or his family.

Thanks to archive.org and Linkedin I've found him and talked with him. he told me that he deleted the website because the spanish pharmaceutical that distribute isotretinoine sued him. He had to stop his campaign after compiling 2.000 support signatures. You see that pharmaceuticals doesn't care about us, they are serial killers.

Anyway, we are repair the damage from isotretinoine and this is the important thing. This guy has repaired most of his side effects after 6 years in hell. He says that he doesn't know exaclty how, but he believes has been Vitamin E, 2 3 times per day during months. He also thinks that Omega3 has helped him.

So, from now on I am going to follow his advises and I'll share my experience with you.

A healthy man normally requieres some hours to get totally recovered after having sex (and masturbation). Your case is diferent because your libido is low and you probably require some days. If you masturbate every day you won't be recovered. But that doesn't mean that masturbation and porn are bad.

For most of people, porn is a OJ. It is a great thing to masturbate with your couple watching porn. A different thing is to be addicted or obsessed, like any other addiction.

If you have a bit of a read into the site indigo posted it clearly states multiple, if not hundreds of times that casual porn use isn't really anything to be worried about. Im talking maybe like once or twice a week with some pretty g rated shit, as opposed to the stuff you normally find on the internet.

What this site describes is the more adverse side effects of high speed porn, multiple times a day, for years sometimes decades on end.

We have grown up being able to witness some pretty graphic stuff and any guy who has a computer would agree he has stumbled across the triple penetration girls eating turds, japanese chicks being fucked by squids etc etc more than once.

This are the main points this website is trying to raise.

Indigos video was a good summary of that, props to him. do some more research man

That's what I say. Porn is not bad, excess is bad in every aspect of life.

Triple penetration is a bad thing? How many people have you killed playing to your Nintendo? Dude, porn is fiction.

If you feel bad watching triple anal don't watch it, but don't say it is bad because you think so.

Xavier, thanks. My sentiments exactly. Never has there been a reliably documented case of a healthy routine of self-pleasure causing persistent sexual dysfunction years later.

Some of us are fighting hard to recover from being emasculated (or de-feminized in the case of some of the women here) during or shortly after a course of Accutane, a drug documented to have a negative impact on sex hormones and reproductive function.

Pointing the finger at obsessive masturbation and porn addiction is a useless distraction.

Thanks to archive.org and Linkedin I've found him and talked with him. he told me that he deleted the website because the spanish pharmaceutical that distribute isotretinoine sued him. He had to stop his campaign after compiling 2.000 support signatures. You see that pharmaceuticals doesn't care about us, they are serial killers.

Disgusting! It would be nice to post some official documentation of the claims filed by the isotretinoin distributor on Spanish websites and discussions boards about Accutane. Glad to hear this guy is doing okay.

Before i took accutane i was watching porn every day and my libido had no problem recovering.So it was not a bad habit i had that made me watch porn,but it was how horny i felt constantly that made me watch it.I would watch a porn film and after 2 days of abstinence i could watch the same film again and i would get aroused again like it was the first time.While i was taking accutane my sexual sensation dropped dramatically causing a big drop in libido also.So i am sure that accutane caused my problems there is no doubt about it.For some the libido drop comes after stopping the treatment.For me it started while i was on treatment and got worse after it.

I also believe that our major drop in libido comes from the lack of sexual genital feeling we experience(which could mean that androgen signalling is impaired).The people that masturbate a lot might have a problem with sexual desire only but i don't believe they have a problem with the sexual feeling like we do,so our case is different.

I found this, it is about having metal braces or amalgams which occur metal poisoning.

I just wanted to share, cause I had my braces renewed during accutane period and have retainer now. Just checking every possibility..

Having braces fitted at age 14/15 was the beginning of my health nightmare. I was never the same, even though they were removed later. I improved to a point, but that was it. From then on life changed and has never been the same.

I gather though I must have already had problems and it just took one more health challenge to cause me to buckle. I just did not bounce back. I never noticed big health problems before that and was always a very energetic person (possibly too much perhaps, a little hyper). But happy, seemingly healthy and confident though a bit shy.

I can't quite believe the dramatic change and impact following the placement of braces. It started as soon as the metal studs were put on, even before the wire. The changes were dramatic and I'm surprised nobody made the connection. It was almost immediate too. Hair, skin, eyes, personality/mental outlook, everything changed. Blurred vision, horrible skin that wouldn't heal properly, hair faded in colour, weight loss, late menstruation, tearful, depressed, taut skin with blemishes, bizzare mental thoughts, obsessive behaviours, compulsive behaviours, withdrawn, gut problems/cramps. It was like a nightmare descended upon me.

@levianthan

Genital numbness is just one of the symptoms, not the problem.

I got rid of it one month after this whole shit started (thank God), but still suffer from ed and other stuff.

Blaming braces and porn really gets nobody anywhere. Not that its not good to search for explanations, but in my opinion this stuff should be too obvious, at least for the people that suffer.

And man, taking finasterid for postfinasterid similar or rather equal problems! Im wondering where this Dr Pezzi gets his ideas from. Maybe we should tell those damaged by finasterid they should take accutane to recover...

But still confusing that it seemed to help some people.

@monn

those people without benefits ,from taking finasterid after accutane, you are talking about. Has this been people with sexual problems?
