The best diet for brain injury is ketogenic, with plenty of dha rich seafood. But still getting in some raw organic fruits, and non GMO whole grains here and there is important. I believe ginkgo is probably the best supplement for treating tbi (traumatic brain injury). Nutricost seems to be an excellent brand.

Your cbd earth tincture probably isn't far behind the ginkgo for brain repair. Mistletoe is an interesting herb for brain repair. Ginkgo, CBD and mistletoe are all excellent brain herbs. I leave gotu kola out of that list due to the liver issues it can cause.

Earth tincturetarget organs are spleen, pancreas & stomach. Youre right,helping this would ultimately help the brain in the long run

In trying to clear as he puts it the dirty dishwater surrounding my brain he also has me on Water meridian and Wood meridian tinctures to support liver & kidneys as they ultimately will help me eliminate that dirty dishwater from the head and out of the body

Its important to support these organs thru the whole process - I cant disagree with his approach here ( In theory anyway.... )

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. 

Then again there are athletes who say that going vegan was a gamechanger. Having much better performance and way better recovery. It´s all down to what do they eat on the vegan diet. Do they eat the right stuff. Do they eat enough. Do they like eating it. There are so many factors. But animal products are definitely not needed to thrive based on my research. Also killing animals is a ethical and environmental question but I don´t wanna start a discussion on this forum. Let´s keep focused on healing from tane :P

Question to men with erectile dysfunction:
Has anyone ever had the investigation: Penile Doppler ultrasonography with injection ?

Or have you ever read about someone who did it?

It is still pending with me.

Guys! Listen me up! This is me, my account on another forum propeciahelp. I have diagnosed with prostate inflammation, if you suffer from only Sexual sides, our problem could be only about this. [removed]

My hypothesis: Isotretinoin damaged the hormones and affacted prostate, after quitting the drug, hormones balanced themselves but somehow an inflammation triggered on prostate due to abrupt change on hormones and it left untreated. Thats all. Many prostatits symptoms can be symptomless, so it is hard to know whats going on.

 

Please get your prostate checked. Doctor has to do a massage to your prostate through your rectumto feel if it is inflamed and he collects fluid from your prostate for bacteria. Prostatitis could cause all of sexual symptoms we struggle with. Stop wasting time with hundreds of nonsense in depth medical discussions here. Getting knowledge is good but it won't cure you. You need to act.

 

Get your prostate checked and start a hormonal theraphy if you have suspicious hormone levels. Nothing besides will ever cure you. Blessings.

I have read every testimony of men who have taken HRT after Finn & Accutane on that site. Overall, it seems that it does not help much. (Depressing As Fuck). It might even fry the rest of the receptors and you may end up with less T after all that. I would expect that it is not so simple as Prostate Inflammation, although I do think many of sufferers have inflammation in many parts of their bodies.

Chris you can post those stories all you want. It does none of us any good. I absolutely agree that diet is important. It's why I advocate 100% organic for all dairy, produce and grains. But it's not the only thing. If the drug is still trapped in the body, then you need things like ginkgo biloba to help restore autonomic balance and reactivate sebaceous glands and micro vessels. You need things like alginate rich seaweed to grab onto accutane and pull it out. You need something like green tea to burn the fat stores in the body where accutane is trapped. Stop with the nonsense that diet alone can help 100% of all accutane victims.

Accutane is likely trapped in the cell nucleus, knocking down bco1. Synthetic Trans beta Carotene supplements increase bco1. Alginate rich seaweed attaches to accutane for removal. Ginko improves microcirculation.

I know quite a bit about health, but not yet recovered. Never said I was. Warning you about the dangers of antibiotics was not a bad thing. It was a good thing, and it's wrong of you to be angry with me for it.

Currently doing nutricost ginkgo 240 mg daily as the sole supplement, with allicin max arriving tomorrow.

Then dont dawg on the success stories that I send. How does it do none of us any good? Maybe it does you no good but there are others that it will help.

You told me specifically that all I needed was diet. And I told you it's more than diet. It's very irritating when you tell me it's all diet and no supplements, when my kitchen is loaded with healthy organic foods.

For me, accutane induced brain damage is the central issue. Ketogenic diet isn't strong enough to heal it. Ginkgo helps, but even 720 mg daily may not be enough. Allicin hopefully will do more.

Umm I never told you that all you needed was diet. I made a comment that it is a common theme in all the success stories...

Im happy for anyone to get out of this mess. If all it takes for you is to fast for a bit, good luck to you. If you do it through diet alone, fantastic, if its just supplements you need, unreal, if its a Vit A free diet, go for it!!

For me after 20 years, its more complicated and something I cant do alone, hence I see a very well qualified kinesiologist to help me thru. I cant do this alone, not a chance!

We continue to work on detoxifying the brain, this needs to be aided by successful lymphatic drainage which in turn needs to be eliminated by a wellfunctioning liver. For me these systems cant just function correctly via diet or supplements alone, the kinesiologist helps open the pathways thru adjustments and meridian point holds.

After this detoxifying is done, he can thenlook at trying to repair the brain essentially. He likens it to a bad concussion that needs to be treated. I like whereIm headed with this approach, instinctively it feels like the right thing to do, cant wait to finally feel my brain working properly again

Aside from the physical work mentioned above, Im still on Selenium for all this and now Molybdenum - all to aid getting that dirty dishwater fluid surrounding the brain out via lymphatic. Not saying everyone else has this issue going on but whatever youre dealing with Id suggest working with a good practitioner to help you. If youre still on this forum searching for answers, its clear youre in the group that cant easily get out of this mess and you need someone to help you - nothing wrong coming to that realisation!!

Quote from RxISK: "Isotretinoin (Accutane) which is used as a treatment for acne [4, 27], and is also serotonin reuptake inhibiting."- Is that really the case?
Source: https://rxisk.org/post-ssri-sexual-dysfunction-pssd/
And is Accutane really a 5-reductase inhibitor, too?
I ask because I have a special form of erectile dysfunction (soft glans) which psychologically make me the worst. But it seems to be very rare with Accutane. A little more common with SRI and finasteride.
I thought maybe I could improve it with the vitamin A diet, but now I believe that more defects / damage in the brain is responsible for that.
Symptom SRIs (%) Isotretinoin (%) 5-RIs (%)
Erectile dysfunction 147 (86.0) 46 (93.9) 23 (92.0)
Loss of libido 135 (78.9) 35 (71.4) 23 (92.0)
(....)
Soft glans 4 (2.3) 1 (2.0) 0
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6004900/
So I'm thinking about what the right approach would be. With detoxification, liver / bile flushing and cleansing, I don't think it will do much for the long-term sexual side effects.
I am also considering whether myalgic encephalomyelitis + Accutane = SRI triggered long-term side effects of soft glans in my case, because this side effect is so rarely.
I am just so desperate and don't want to believe that it is irreparable damage because then I know I could never have normal sex with it again. Even if I have overcome the illness ME someday.
So my question is, what exactly in Accutane is similar to the SRI, so that you can find out what the damage may be. If it were "only" extreme vitamin A poisoning alone, then you would at least have a clear starting point, oh man.
I know for sure no one knows otherwise we wouldn't be here, but maybe someone has a guess, opinion, idea, always bring it on, thanks

mate, you need to stop posting every random thought you get. One day its this herb, next day its another, and so on.

put a time filter on your posts - maybe once a month update us on what has actually worked and not, and go from there.

this thread is great, but blowing out with too much random stuff.

Hey guys,

sometimes its also good to post some positive things.
I have been noticing that i get my tan alot better then before this summer. And it also stays longer on my arms.

whenever i get a good sun now my nails will grow faster and my mood is definitely better (like holiday memories randomly pop up)

it seems that my skin is accepting the sun again, and can deal with it again.

Hey guys I want to give you an update on my situation. I got bad news..
My recovery was 100% real and I was feeling absolutely awesome for the last couple of months but I have to say the last weeks and espaciallly the last couple of days I feel that I am loosing my sexdrive slowly. Not that bad so far and I'm still 10 times better than before the use of fin but honestly at the moment I can't say that I am still fully recovered. One interesting fact is that my situation was getting worse again when I took cocaine about 1 month ago and I couldnt have sex because my dick wasn't working.
So I it scarred me a little bit and since that moment it goes down the road.

Hi.I have post accutane syndrome for one year. i tried every diet and behavioralchangebut no improvement.

i am interested in your recovery story but i dont have dr. pezzi book and dont know what is the best dosage of finasteride and how long should i use it.

i think your slight relapse is because of using cocaine. dependof your cocaine dose it can modify your dopamine system, that could effect sex motivational threshold (i suppose you have no problem witherotic movies or porn). read this

[removed]

finally i should notice my temporary recovery when ismoke weed. i've read some patients relief from Rick Simpson Oil that produces from cannabis.

sorry for my english. i am not native.

Has anyone found a way to increase dihydrotestosterone? Got it checked last week and it's in the basement. So mean if someone has found something that has really increased its value, not just a guess what might help, I have tried a lot.

And nobody really knows if Accutaneis also serotonin reuptake inhibiting??
