Here is one of my posts from the past. All you need to do is a Curezone Search under Accutane and you can find tons of negative information. This drug is bad, bad bad....

I'll give you my 2 cents worth in capital letters after each of your questions. I"m not yell'n-- just using CAPS, so you can see my responses better...lol :-)





ACCUTANE
i am on Accutane if i want to live a healthy life should i deal with my Acne or treat it with accutane? i have already completed 3 months but now am affraid i am poisoning myself should i stop and clean my body of all toxins? will that hurt my 3 months of accutane? is accutane generally safe and ok?

I WOULDNT USE ACCUTANE OR ANYTHING ELSE SYNTHETIC BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS A PRICE YOU WILL PAY LATER IN YOUR HEALTH THAT THE FDA COULD CARE LESS IF YOU KNOW ABOUT. THIS ALSO INCLUDES STEROID CREAMS AS WELL.

I SCROOGLED ACCUTANE AND FOUND A DRUG WEBSITE REGARDING IT'S SIDE EFFECTS: HERE'S WHAT THEY SAY- (THIS SITE PROMOTES ACCUTANE BY THE WAY- BUT THEY ARE A DRUG COMANY SPONSORED SITE )

Side effects may include:
Back pain, blood disorders, decreased HDL (good) cholesterol, dizziness, dry skin and mucous membranes, hearing problems, high blood sugar, high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, joint pain, mental or mood disorders (such as Depression or mood swings), pinkeye, rash, sensitivity to sunlight, vision problems,

(NOTE THE QUICK MENTION ON Depression AND MOOD SWINGS!)

THEN THE SITE CONTINUES TO MENTION 'SPECIAL SIDE EFFECTS':

...."Special warnings about Accutane

Stop taking Accutane and notify your doctor immediately at the first sign of a skin rash or any other allergic reaction. Although they are rare, serious and even fatal allergic reactions have been known to occur.

When you first start taking Accutane, it is possible that your Acne will get worse before it starts to get better.

Accutane may cause Depression or other mental problems such as: mood swings, aggression, sadness, hopelessness, loss of pleasure, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, change in sleep patterns, restlessness, and irritability. In rare cases, it has prompted thoughts of suicide. If you begin to feel depressed or become troubled by suicidal thoughts, contact your doctor immediately..... "


BECAUSE OF ACTUAL SUICIDE CASES , ROCHE- WHO MAKES ACCUTANE, HAD TO ADD THESE WARNINGS, BUT THEY TRY TO DE-EMPHASIZE THEM. JUST REMEMBER THAT ANYTHING SYNTHETIC WE ADD INTO THE BODY-- EVEN IF IT IS THE SYNTHETIC VERSION OF VITAMIN E INSTEAD OF NATURAL VITAMIN E WILL BE TOXIC TO YOUR BODY IN SOME WAY- AND WILL LEAD TO A HOST OF PROBLEMS-- ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR LIVER. IN THIS POLLUTED INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY, ALL OF OUR LIVERS ARE TOXIC ENOUGH AS IT IS COMPARED TO PRE-INDUSTRIAL MAN THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO SO WE CAN'T AFFORD TO ADD MORE SYNTHETIC TOXIC JUNK TO THE BURDEN.



Tooth Filler
I have a tooth with a small filler i am not sure what it is though i had it filled ~5 years ago should i worry about it being dangerous to my health? do they still use murcury or any other harmfull metals in fillings still?

IF YOU HAVE A SMALL FILLING IN YOUR TOOTH- IS IT GREY OR SILVER METAL? IF IT IS WHITE COMPOSITE, IT'S ALOT BETTER THAN HAVING METAL FILLINGS. YOU CAN TELL IF IT IS SILVER OR GREY-- OR WHITE COMPOSITE IF YOU CAN GET A LITTLE MIRROR UP THERE AND CHECK IT OUT IN YOUR BATHROOM MIRROR. SILVER MERCURY Amalgams ARE DARK GREY OR SILVER.

ALSO- ITS TRUE-- MOST DENTISTS STILL USE SILVER MERCURY Amalgam UNLESS YOU SPECIFY--"I WANT PORCELAIN/COMPOSITE- AND NOT SILVER AMALGAM". IN FACT, MOST DENTAL INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL ONLY PAY 100% IF YOU GET MORE SILVER FILLINGS- BUT WILL NOT PAY ANYTHING TOWARDS COMPOSITE. MORE AND MORE DENTISTS ARE ACTUALLY WAKING UP AND NO LONGER USE AMALGAM, BUT THE MAJORITY STILL DO AND ARE BRAINWASHED BY THE ADA INTO THINKING IT'S HARMLESS. SURE IT WON'T PUT YOU IN A COFFIN ...IMMEDIATELY THAT IS.., BUT IT WILL SLOWLY ADD MERCURY TO THE REST OF YOUR BODY --ADDING TO YOUR TOXIC OVERLOAD -AND THIS IS WITH JUST ONE METAL FILLING.

I'D GET IT OUT AND HAVE THE DENTIST REPLACE IT WITH PORCELAIN/COMPOSITE. I HAD 8 OF MY METAL FILLINGS REPLACED OVER A YEAR AGO AND I DONT REGRET IT.

NATURAL HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS
I take Solaray Sleep blend sp-17 it contains Iron Phosphate 3x, magnesium Phosphate 3x, and Potassium Phosphate 3x what does that mean and is it safe isnt iron as a filler dangerous?

ID BE CAREFUL WITH IRON BEING USED AS A FILLER- CHANCES ARE IT IS METAL IRON BITS THEY ADDED (WHICH IS TYPICAL WITH MOST OVER THE COUNTER SUPPLEMENTS)- AND THE BODY HAS A HARD TIME DEALING WITH IRON METAL -- ONLY IRON FROM PLANTS-- SUCH AS SPINACH.

BESIDES, IF YOUR A GUY, MEN DONT REQUIRE IRON SUPPLEMENTS TO BEGIN WITH UNLESS YOU HAVE BLOOD LOSS ISSUES AND YOU WERE ADVISED TO TAKE IRON BY A SPECIALIST.


I also take GNC herbal plus standardized products should i be conserned with them containing metals/fillers not listed on label

ON OCCASION, I'LL USE GNC OR VITAMIN WORLD HERBS IF I NEED A SPECIFIC TYPE-- BUT I ONLY BUY IT IF THE LABEL SAYS 'NON-IRRIDATED', AND STATES THAT THERE ARE NO FILLERS, ETC. AS WITH ANYTHING OVER THE COUNTER, CHANCES ARE THEY USE SOME TYPE OF SOLVENTS AND FILLERS IN MANUFACTURING. YOUR'E BEST BET IS TO GET YOUR SUPPLEMENTS FROM WHOLE FOOD SOURCES-- SOME VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS ARE PURE VEGETARIAN AND EXTRACT THE NUTRIENTS FROM VARIOUS VEGETABLES AND FRUITS. I'D GO FOR THOSE OVER SOMETHING FROM A DRUG STORE SHELF. BE CAREFUL WITH GNC OR OTHER MAJOR VITAMIN COMPANIES. MANY PHARMECUETICAL COMPANIES ALSO MANUFACTURE THESE VITAMINS, AND THEY ARE AS TOXIC AS THE DRUGS THESE COMPANIES ALSO MAKE.

THERE ARE SOME GOOD WHOLE FOOD SOURCE DERIVED MULTIPLE VITAMINS OUT THERE- -BUT THEY ARENT WIDELY SOLD IN THE STORES-- YOU HAVE TO CHECK ONLINE FOR THEM.

FOR VITAMIN D, I'D GET IT FROM MERCURY TESTED FISH OIL CAPSULES WHEN I COULDNT GET IT FROM THE OUTDOOR SUNSHINE FIRST. THE SUNSHINE IS THE BEST WAY TO GET IT. AND THEN I'D USE THE FISH OILS WHEN IT WAS SO CRAPPY OUTSIDE, THAT YOU DIDNT GET TO GO OUT IN THE SUN. I'D GET MY OMEGA 3 AND 6 FATTY ACIDS FROM FLAX SEED OIL (RAW UNREFINED)

FOR OTHER PHYTO-NUTRIENTS THAT YOU WILL NEED- YOU CAN TAKE SPIRULINA OR SUN CHLORELLA

WHEN I AM ILL, I WILL TAKE A BETA-CAROTENE GELCAP OVER TAKING A VITAMIN A CAPSULE, BECAUSE BETA-CAROTENE IS THE NATURAL VERSION--AND THE BODY MANUFACTURES JUST WHAT IT NEEDS OF EXTRA VITAMIN A FROM THE BETA-CAROTENE WITHOUT IT BECOMING TOXIC.

FOR YOUR B- VITAMINS, I'D TRY BREWERS YEAST AS A SUPPLEMENT, BECAUSE IT HAS THE FULL SPECTRUM OF BALANCED B COMPLEX VITAMINS. TAKE TOO MUCH OF ONE AND NOT THE OTHER, AND YOU WILL CAUSE AN IMBALANCE IN YOUR BODY.

MY POINT IS-- TRY TO GET YOUR EXTRA NUTRIENTS FROM WHOLE FOOD SOURCES. IF A MAJOR PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY IS MAKING THEM, I'D STEER CLEAR AND AVOID IT, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MAKING IT FOR YOUR HEALTH--BUT ONLY FOR PROFIT, AND TO CASH-IN ON THE CURRENT "HEALTH-KICK" BANDWAGON TREND. THEREFORE, THEY WILL BE AS TOXIC AND FULL OF SOLVENTS AND FILLERS AS ALL THEIR OTHER GARBAGE.

OOPS, FORGOT TO POST THIS LINK-- REGARDING A FATHER THAT IS HAVING THE ACCUTANE COMPANY INVESTIGATED AFTER THE SUICIDE OF HIS SON.

"Grieving father spends $1 million nest egg to investigate Accutane"
