Has anybody thought of doing a water fast? IF accutane somehow messes with our genetics, or how our genes are controlled, then some people think that a water fast for a long period of time can cause somewhat of a "reset" effect on our genes, meaning, they believe our genes will go back to the way they used to be.

At this point, I'm just looking for anything that may help. I don't even know if there is any scientific evidence to back this up. I've just heard other people mention it before.

1. Do you guys think this can help?

2. Has anybody tried it (I think I saw somebody on this forum that tried it)?

You're talking about doing something potentially quite dangerous and a "reset" effect on genes? How and why would that happen?

I haven't heard of Accutane affecting genetics.

Have you really exhausted every other treatment option?

It doesn't seem like a great idea. If you do it, let a (real) doctor know!

Did you get the PM i sent you yesterday? I found another forum about accutane sufferers, and they seem very educated about things.
