CLA may play a role with recovery. Will keep the board posted.

Because vitamin A regulates the brains dopamine system. Lack of vitamin A and your brains ability to regulate dopamine is gone. Sweet potato or pumpkin capsules helps replenish vitamin A and helps improve the dopaminergic system in the brain.
Thiamine I believe has an action very similar to gamma oryzanol on the sebaceous glands. I'm going with gamma o, but theoretically one could instead use thiamine to accomplish the same thing that gamma o does.
Aged garlic pills helps to feed good gut bugs and kill bad gut bugs.
Sweet Potato is high in vitamins. Drink fresh carrot juice for natural vitamin A replenishment.

This is for alcohol induced liver injury. Accutane provides Vitamin A toxicity injury to the liver which is different as it impacts other areas of the body such as the digestive system aswell.

Im assuming it needs to be treated separately?
Usually, hormones are not to blame for acne. Acne is caused by toxins in the body and gut dysbiosis. Fix these issues with a strict healthy diet (no sugar, wholemeal grains, no processed foods, no dairy, no eggs, no gluten). Eliminate these and incorporate celery juice aswell as lemon water with LOTS of green veggies.

nah, not really wanting to know about acne, I left that behind 20 yrs ago
appreciate the info, sounds like it would be good for helping gut so thx for that, Ill try the celery juice
still need to know how those who have testosterone issues go about resolving things??Do these people also have gut problems to work on too?

Arginine is yet a third substance capable of opening up the sebaceous glands. Aged garlic is likely the best product for rebalancing the gut microbiome.
Carbs, vitamin b12 and D gets my sebum going no problem whatsoever.
Shelly's right about organic carrot juice being beneficial. I've used it for years, but without the other components below it can't do me much good.
Daily supplements
Pumpkin
Fish eggs
Aged garlic
Black currant
Brown seaweed
Broccoli sprouts
Diet
Omnivore
Organic when possible
Staple beverage
Organic carrot juice
Just a lot of extreme anger and rage mixed with insomnia right now. I suspect the sulfurophane rich broccoli sprouts are pulling accutane off the rxr and rar nuclear receptors via nrf2, out of the cell and into circulation, which is causing the extreme rage. Will just keep scanning brain liver and gut with the medicomat device and supplement accordingly.

I met a 22 year old boy who had erectile diffusion post accutane, but he's fine now. Basically he told me that prayer and good nutrition were key to his healing.
He told me that he almost took his own life and taking accutane was a lesson in his life, he said that God helped him and helped him improve.

this guy says accutane is stored in the skin, and I think he's right. Accutane's presence in the skin drastically lowers vitamin A presence in the liver, resulting in liver dysfunction. Remove accutane from the skin, replenish true vitamin A systemically, and liver function resolves. The reason accutane remains trapped in the skin for years is because it has shut down the sebaceous glands. Gamma oryzanol opens up the sebaceous glands allowing for accutane to be released from the skin.
my sebum is like before accutane, actually my skin is extremely oily. I don't have effects like you, but what do you think of my case? my whole body is actually fatty.I'm all fucking day shedding fat from my face that I feel sticky, I can't complain I've always had it like a fucking viscous fish, touching my face with a window is really incredible since all this is greasy and the papers are transparent . I am a shit better I dedicate myself to sell homemade oil.
I will try carrot juice, I deny that avoiding vitamin A is the best solution

All good with the precursors too yeah?
DHEA in particular
I was all good for last 20 years with blood tests,now all of a sudden Im low for Free Testosterone, DHEA. SHGB although low is within range.
Maybe others will see this happen too in their 40s.Could be coincidental, as usual who would know???
What a journey. Maybe I didnt pray hard enough.

Might sound strange, but the only time I had really good testosterone levels was when I tried intermittentfasting, crazy I know, almost like food ruins me, or some sort of bad reaction to it.
When I went back to eating 3 meals a day testosterone started to drop slowly over the next few months.
I will also point out I lost 20 kilos with this diet over about 3 months, Ireduced my calorieswhile intermittent fasting.

I think it all depends how long you were taking accutane,I do not say pray, I said the experience of the person with these problems, anyway each person reacts differently.
If he told me that prayer helped him, I believe him. Each one takes the decisions and beliefs.
Genes play a big role. There are stories of people taking 1 tablet and being adversely affected, others as we know can be on it for 6 months and walk away fine
If that guy got off by praying, good luck to him!!
Cant say I havent asked God for help plenty of times - no such luck unfortunately.
I'm sorry brother, many times I ask myself the same thing.
in my case I have only known that the people who were healed were those who took for a month or less,The last person I heard was the one who took it for a month and was greatly affected, after 8 months off the antibiotic he said that it is 80% improved or so he meant.
I also think that genes play that roleand there is a specific point where improvement can be promoted.
the body is resistant, this can be seen in people who are poisoned and recover, but after years and therapies. I know it sounds crazy, but it is to show that our body has the ability to improve if we adapt it.

I keep thinking accutane caused insulin resistance. Not real diabetes, but our body's don't respond well to growth factors and it seems the pro-apoptotic (programmed cell death) genes stay on. Chronic inflammation probably caused insulin resistance. That's why people feel better when fasting post-accutane. I don't know how this effects hormones like testosterone, but i think the real problem is insulin resistance.

I also think this. The TZD's i mentioned greatly increase sebum production and it blocks the enzyme (aldh1a3) needed to create all transretinoic acid. It also reduces fatty liver, effects gut microbiomeand depletes copper (accutane caused copper overload).In theory, this would be a potential solution, but i question how safe it is and how long we would have to take it. And i think it's hard to get a prescription because most of us don't have real diabetes.
Now 2 years after accutane, my skin is "normal". Not asdry like during and a long time after my course, but not at all like it was in the past (very oily but i kinda miss the oiliness). I was afraid fin would make my skin dry, but that didn't happen. My lips are even more hydrated since starting fin (really don't know why but i'm reallygladto have normal lips again).
I also think our body lacks real vitamin A. This may cause hypothyroidism (and very low SHBG). I tested my thyroid once and it was fine, but i don't know. I believe insulin resistance (because of chronic inflammation) is the root cause and once that's fixed, i think everything else will follow. The TZD's seem like a solution on paper, but i don't know how well it would work in reality.

Your link says accutane reduces Copper which makes sense since it increases ceruloplasmin in studies.
So do we have high or low copper now?
8 hours ago, Calcified said:Your link says accutane reduces Copper which makes sense since it increases ceruloplasmin in studies.
So do we have high or low copper now?
The article says accutane makes copper non-bioavailable and causes iron overload. It has to do with energy expenditure. Without copper orretinol, you can't make energy. So i don't know if we have high or low copper, but the problem seems to be that it's nonbioavailable.
I'm not really educated on this stuff, so i don't really understand what it exactly means, but maybe someone else understands it better.

This says that people with acne often have lower copper levels
22 hours ago, TrueJustice said:Yes true but how do you fix it???
I had copper overload identified 10 yrs ago
Multiple doctors havent been able to fix
to be clear, my test definitely indicated too much copper. It was a hair mineral analysis
was put on molyzinc to bring back down.
Never got re tested and didnt feel any better on the moly.
A copper blood test might tell a different story, Im pretty sure many of us did a blood test or urine test from memory on this
Ill do a simple vile test with kinesiologist on next visit
Hey guys, what have been your experiences with the covid vaccines? Did you have any adverse side effects or the normal side effects that went away? Im worried about taking it after continuing to sufferfrom the long-term side effects ofAccutane.

Pfizer, just a sore arm for two days. Zero side effects for me, maybe a bit tired.
