You know what? Forget the bamboo, and forget food. I went all day today with nothing but spring water and Seagate seaweed capsules, and I have absolutely zero desire for food. My brain is as calm as it's ever been. Completely stress free. I'll continue with this daily as long as I have excess fat to burn up front.
The machines always indicated laminaria as the top food recommendation, but I could never find a low iodine brand until i found the Seagate brand. And it's working. Will keep the board updated.
I wonder if I can heal my penis damage / the soft glans disorder with the vitamin A diet, bone-broth fast, or any other diet, or if it is irreparable.
Can't imagine how nutrition should fix such damage.
Off-topic:
I read something interesting in the Accutane Facebook group. Apparently Accutane shortens the telomeres, there is a nootropic that lengthens the telomeres. It's called Epitalon.
The question is whether the healing/lengthens of the telomeres also implies healing/ improvement of the long term side-effects?
Anyone fancy playing the guinea pig?

Why low iodine? Its good for the thyroid right? Seeing my current weight i could use some extra burning.
Lio, whole herb astragalus is a fairly cheap herb that does wonders for the telomeres. I've used it before and it has a nice effect at first, but eventually it seems to not work as well. I'm a big believer in bioenergetics, which is what quantum biofeedback machines tap into and utilize. My biofeedback machine doesn't recommend astragalus, but it highly recommends laminaria, which is what I'm currently using, without any issues. Seagate seaweed is the brand. Not sure if itll heal me completely but will see.
Although I've disagreed with undertow before about whole food beta Carotene intake, I'm in complete agreement with him about the drug being trapped in the body. Why? Because of a very strong correlation between some of his research and my machines feedback. Undertow has mentioned there being an issue with vitamins b1, b2, b12, and molybdenum. When I scan my pituitary and hypothalamus, those exact vitamins and minerals continuously show up as there being an issue with my body. My machine doesn't recommend supplementing with them, but it definitely recognizes there is an issue with those four nutrients.
Columbus, Low iodine because you want to maintain proper mineral balance. 95% of the seaweed supplements on the market have extreme amounts of iodine, and then low amounts of everything else, which creates an imbalance. Seagate seaweed is different. It maintains a fairly even balance of minerals. Copper is the biggest mineral in this brand, followed by iodine, then a bunch of other minerals. But the copper and iodine don't dominate all the other minerals, which is a good thing. Mineral balance is very important.

Almond milk is loaded with polyunsaturated fat, which is anti androgenic and inflammatory for me. Walnut, linseed, chia, all loaded with polyunsaturated fat, which again is anti androgenic. Nori is good, but giant kelp is better due to it's alginate content. Alginate binds to radioactive toxins such as 13 cis retinoic acid and removes it from the body.
Salmon is good. Much better than toxic fish oil. Albacore tuna and shrimp taste tons better than salmon. Roasted Pumpkin seeds are excellent for killing intestinal parasites, but too many pumpkin seeds can lower dht. Roasting the seeds makes them much more digestible than raw. Bone broth stimulates a massive dopamine loss due to the glycine content, if you don't have enough dha in your brain when drinking it. If your brain dha is good, then bone broth can be helpful.
Crucifers such as kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are all high fodmap foods. fodmap foods do me and many others more harm than good.
Carrots, corn, and potatoes are all low in sugar. Corn and potatoes are high in non sugar carbs. Non sugar carbs are less problematic than sugar. Beetroot juice contains significant sugar. Non GMO Corn is better than potatoes due to corns insoluble fiber, which is pro butyrate. Potatoes can be problematic due to the starch.
I've been doing 3-6 capsules daily of Seagate seaweed, which is alginate rich giant kelp, and it definitely improves my brain health. Does a better job for the brain than what gotu kola was doing for me. And unlike gotu kola, I won't have to worry about liver issues with the seaweed, since seaweed is beneficial for the liver. The seaweed is also reducing the appetite significantly.
Bamboo capsules arrive tomorrow. Giant kelp is the fastest growing plant in the ocean. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on land. Accutane promotes cell death. We need the exact opposite of that, which is cell growth, and these two plants are all about growth, moreso than any other plants on the planet.
I am MORE confused after this. How would you know if DHT is low? (In regards to the effect of bone broth). If you do low A, low 5H and low fomap you are eating rice? beef and about 10 veggies/starch?

I asked him exactly what he did and he told me thathe did a 7 day bone broth fast and then followed that with a low carb diet. He also took glutamine,vitamin C, MSM and vitamin D.
These are his words below:
At the very beginning when i started on my "protocol", for one week i was only on bone broth. Bone broth for breakfast, bone broth for lunch, for dinner etc. Only bone broth for a week.
After one week i went on low carb diet but still with bone broth. I didn't any white fluor, no pasta at all, no sweets, no sugar, no milk, no cream, no cheese, even no fruits (except lemon), no yeast, no tea no coffee, no peanuts, no potato, no white Rice, no carrot, no corn.
Everything Iate was organic.
Iwas taking a lot of vitamin C, MSM sulphur, L-gluthamine, Omega-3 oil.
Vitamin D, and very important thing - probiotics.I dont know when this forum is going to wake up and figure out that the food you eat is very important in recovery from Accutane. This isnt the first time this has been said on this forum and Simplemutton just voiced the same thing in a post early aboutagluten free and anti-inflammatory diet.
While diet MAY play a role, it is not a guarantee. What works for some, may not work for all. Even these things are contradicting. Just cause HE said does not mean we need your "when is this forum going to wake up". Have you read the 700 pages over 10 years and seen others also eat healthy. A brain damaging drug cured in days with broth..come one now.

Diet is the only thing that has worked for people on this forum so Im not sure why someonewouldnt try it.Im not saying to follow this guys diet as Ive seen many different types work.Im justshowing once again that diet is the way to go. Yourenot going to find some drug to reverse theproblems.
Not to be mean but Ive been at this a lot longer thanyou and I wish someone would have been telling me this years ago when I couldnt figure out what to do.
Im here to share positive success stories so people have hope that they can heal. You havent been around the forum long enough to see how people will make a post about diet working for them and then get bashed by everyone. Im here to make sure people know that diet is huge to healing.
Very interesting session today with kinesiologist. Were getting deeper into the issue of this persistent brain fog.
1. Wanted him to flat out investigate if there is brain damage. Answer was no, its brain fog. No frontal lobe damage that we can tell of
2. The persistent heavy head and temporal dullness is to do the cerebral spinal fluid sitting there in head...all I can say ishalle fucking lugah!!! Ive been to neurologists for years trying to determine this, so thankful for this find today!!
3. Tied in to this cerebrospinal fluid, think of it as dirty dishwater surrounding the brain just sitting there is a heavy metal toxicity he said,in my case the predominant metal is Cadmium that I need to eliminate
4. We will now clear this using Selenium, Earth anda combo of Water/Wood homeopathic drops that help support both liver & kidneys. The selenium will work on the spinal fluid but obviously from there it goes to other organs to be eliminated from body.
5. I will note, Ive done a shit load of work over last 18 months to get to this point. Not just taking some drops and hoping for the best but adjustments and eliminating bacteria, fungus & virus lurking in the body. Weve had to get rid of that crap first I guess to get to this point.
6. Also, tied in to a lot of my issues has been the bodys ability to use Zinc correctly. He alluded to this today and believes this is why I have this heavy metal detox issue to deal with. Many accutane victims know about issues with zinc and slow wound healing etc
Glad to be putting more pieces of this puzzle together finally!! Hope this info can help others
P.s were not sure why specifically I have a cadmium overload. I dont smoke for example. I have had low Iron though in the past,perhaps that had something to do with it....
Anna, the most accurate way to measure dht is with a saliva test. Ed, low libido, low energy, and high body fat are all indicators of low dht. Bone broth raises dht due to the glycine content. Whole beef liver raises dht due to the retinol content. Saturated fat raises dht, except for coconut oil. Coconut oil lowers dht due to the lauric acid content.
Soy and saw palmetto lower dht. Isolated b2, b5, biotin, zinc, selenium, polyunsaturated fat, and beta sitosterol all lower dht. A low vitamin A diet lowers dht.
Some fodmap foods are more problematic than others. It's all about experimenting for each individual. For me, the crucifers are a big no no. Eggs and soy are some other problem foods for me.
Whole brown rice is good, white rice is bad. Beef is good. Veggies are ok, but I believe fruits are better due to higher orac scores and more energy (carbs).
The best nuts for accutane ppl are organic roasted cashews or peanuts, because they are higher in saturated fat, and lower in the polyunsaturated fat.
Diet is only 50% of the solution. Anyone who says that diet alone is all that's necessary is LYING to you. I believe that by supplementing with whole beef liver pills and Seagate seaweed pills every day, the liver can heal, which I believe is key for us.
Tj, do you wear a wristwatch? If so, remove it immediately and never put it on again. You're being poisoned by the nicad battery energy permeating your skin. Stagnant brain fluid is due to stagnant lymph. Seagate seaweed is good for lymphatic flow.
I'm afraid the selenium will exacerbate your accutane induced hormonal issues. Pay sharp attention to the pitch of your voice and your libido when you take selenium. Can almost guarantee you'll notice a higher pitched voice and reduced libido from the selenium.
I have issues with isolated zinc, and it's likely because I'm chronically low in copper and iron due to an accutane damaged liver. Beef liver is an excellent source of copper and iron.

Hey Aaron, show me one post from a person on here or somewhere else saying that whole beef liver pills and seaweed pills cured their Accutane side effects. I™ll wait...
And while we wait ill just share another success story from over the years.

Selenium may do those things mentioned but right now Ive tested favourably to use it. If it was toxic or my body didnt want it, Idof responded differently
Youre right about lymphatic drainage - that is most definitely part of this process too and something kinesiologist has been working on. The right side of my chest is actuallymore forward than left he picked up on - it has to do with lymphatic system and we can correct it - both thru realignment and supplements mostly
Chris, Dude, that's hardly a success story. That's a temporary high. I've had plenty of temporary highs in my life. I've never called them a cure. These guys post about a temporary high, they fall off it, and fail to report that fall they experience.
Your problem is you take a temporary success story and turn it into something that it's not....a COMPLETE CURE. Sorry, I'm not dumb enough to fall for that.
My liver has been in serious trouble for years post accutane. I'm not saying the beef liver and seaweed is a cure. I'm saying that's what I'm currently using, and I'm sticking with it. If it cures me I'll let the board know. If it doesn't, I'll let the board know.
A person could supplement with all the beef liver and seaweed they want, but if all they eat is pizza, soda, candy, cake, etc, they won't heal. I'm saying supplements are 50% of the cure, and diet is 50% of the cure. Nobody will ever do it with just one or the other.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume that this suggestion is ridiculous.
Are you familiar with the GAPS diet and Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride?
@Chris16thank you so much for sharing! Its pretty clear now that the first step should be healing the gut. And no supplement will prob ever do this @Aaron76. Its diet IN COMBINATION with supps if you need. But diet is the basis. So the best bet for healing is toCOMPLETELY avoided gluten and animal products (except for maybe bone broth, or whatever works) imo. Thats the first lifestyle change. Of course there are other ones too (mind being a big one).
At the end of the day, I really hope everyone on this forum will find peace and health again. I personally 100% believe it is possible, as I experience so much positive changes in my body currently, which a few months ago I dreamed of. Just getting back to nature really. Stay positive!
Btw., I am making a insta post about the dangers of accutane and want to mention the long-term side effects we all here are experiencing. Would be super helpful if you guys could just post a list of side effects that come to mind (& that you experienced).
@TrueJusticeGood news, glad you found this out! Really interesting to see that the lymphatic system rly plays a role here.
Because chatting over the forum is just not 2020 (its quite not real time xD). Here is a link to a discord server for live-chat and even voice chat.

Beef liver and seaweed might provide some short term benefits, but they just aren't feasible as long term daily supplements. Retinol levels are simply too hard to control, and the seaweed's soluble fiber content does more harm than good. Soluble fiber wipes out your cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a good thing, particularly for the brain, that most accutane victims need more of, not less.
I've always said proper diet is 50% of the solution, and I stand with it. When I say proper diet, that means listening to what your body is telling you, and ignoring what other people are telling you. It also means consuming foods from all 4 food groups. Vegans are some of the most unhealthy people on earth.
Ive abandoned the idea that the drug is trapped inside us, and I believe that it's mainly an issue of permanent brain damage. Chemo drugs are well known to induce permanent brain damage. Diet alone cannot reverse chemo induced brain damage.
Currently using Nutricost ginkgo capsules, 1 daily before work, and drinking gold peak green tea, 1 20 oz bottle daily. Will keep the board updated.

Don't play the "you haven't been here long enough" game. Assumptions about how much I have read. I think your diet ideas are sound, I am just STILLsaying the anger at us for not doing it your way is not right.
Caffeine isn't much of a friend to us, and unsweetened green tea is disgusting, and so I'm going with decaf green tea capsules instead, along with Nutricost ginkgo and Oregon's wild ginger. Organic and non GMO foods from all four food groups, as always. Will keep the board updated.

Agree on the "I eat chips, meat replacement and lots ot fat" vegans xD Otherwise, plant-based diet (i.e. vegan) is one if not the healthiest diet in the world for most people. Besides long-term plant-based people who look AMAZING for their age and almost never get sick, theres even more research coming out thats backing this up. So be careful with generalising that all vegans are extremely unhealthy, when most real-vegans are some of the most healthiest people on earth xD
Whenever I see a vegan guy, he's very skinny, and very feminine looking and acting. Has trouble growing facial hair. Low libido. Low strength. Low energy. Looks like he'd get his ass kicked in a fight.
Whenever I see a guy eating from all four food groups, I see more masculinity, more strength, more testosterone. The difference is clearly visible.
I prefer peace and non violence in my life. But if I was in a situation where I had to choose between fighting a vegan or fighting an omnivore, I would choose the weaker vegan every time.
There are things called essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, and b12. Vegan guys are almost always struggling to get these essentials in their diet, and it shows just by looking at them. Omnivores have no problem attaining these very essential nutrients.

A prime example of what veganism can do to your life is Colin Kaepernick. When he was omnivore, he was playing in Superbowls. When he went vegan, he lost the starting job, and ended up a backup taking a knee on the sidelines. The vegan diet destroyed his strength and ability, and his career.
The question to ask right now is which diet to go on is best for treating Chemo Brain?
Im of the belief diet alone definitely wont fix it. Having good gut health would be a good start so obviously one should be mindful of eating healthy but you can still eat healthy with meat
But diet aside, how do you fix chemo brain?
Im feeling better with usingselenium but not out of the woods yet by any stretch
