It appears the risks are not worth the purported benefits of Accutane

 which was originally only intended for the most severe nodular acne.... 

and has been improperly prescribed by doctors, improperly used...

 

Teens, you don't have to take medicine for every ailment.

You could end up with worse problems than you started with ...

while we're waiting for Accutane to be banned,  

you don't have to take it!

You can do a lot to help yourself by good habits of living... 

Eat right:  Fresh vegetables and fruits!

Eat nothing fried!

(Skip the pop... especially diet pop, too) 

Drink your 8 glasses of water a day ... All things in moderation is a good motto! 

Be sure your bowels are open & properly eliminating toxins 

Avoid all stress.  *

Find a good church.  "God will supply all our needs in Christ Jesus," says the Bible.  

That covers wellness of life, too!  

Have the nerve... the Guts... 

to say no to prescription drugs with the side effects of something like Accutane.

Pray Accutane will be banned.  Don't give the drug companies power over you!

Says one mom:  "None of us have had severe acne, 

but I have always thought that hormones cause it.
I know girls that went on birth control pill and their acne cleared up."  Dolores

"My son had an excellent dermatologist.  He changed his eating habits; 

reduced stress, as I recall, and his acne cleared up." Helen

I am struck with the parallels of the 2-butoxyethanol  *  

in Inipol EAP 22 & in Corexit now

and

Accutane... as far as proposed damage warnings

 

Ingredients in Accutane active, Isotretinoin, inactive:  butylated hydroxyanisole, edetate disodium, hydrogenated soybean oil flakes, hydrogenated vegatable oil, soybean oil and some minor others in gelatin capsules: glycerin and parabens (methyl and propyl), with the following dye systems: 10mg-iron oxide and titanium dioxide; 20mg - FD&C Red No. 3, FD&C Blue No. 1, and titanium dioxide; 40mg - FD&C Yellow No. 6, D&C Yellow No 10, and titanium dioxide.

It is striking, that the damage warnings to people is so similar.

 

If the bioremediation workers of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup... or those who chose a career of spray painting cars had it to do all over again.... they never would have taken such employment.  They may have shortened their life span by 30 years +/- and been ill instead of healthy in the years intervening.  Are there also similarities with the Gulf War Syndrome Symptoms?

 

 If you have a choice of NOT taking medications such as Accutane, 

you might be very wise to do so.    

Be involved in the decisions of your own health care.

 

Unless God intervenes, workers don't have much hope of living a full life in health.  

Pray.  Ask others to pray for you.   *

 

Do you think these possible long term affects are understood?  

 

Do users think these are only warnings about temporary health issues

... that will pass when they're done taking the medication?

...that it is not understood that 

these could have long term health consequences?  *

 

To find out what has really happened, long term health studies need to be undertaken.  Have they been?  Gather as large a pool of workers/users as you can.  Even count the suicides. (Maybe the government can requisition the list of all who have purchased Accutane from any source?) The cluster evidence of the health damage was most likely already known to the company early on... but even the workers/users won't believe that what happened to them wasn't some oddity.  Help them document their health concerns.  Most likely the blood will show an abnormality almost right away.  It will not be so hard to prove as you think.  Now for the families who never saw their children raised to productive, independent lives... or who suffered, with their loss of productivity, should they live... or who never have grandchildren from this child.... 

 

For them & others who could be warned NOT to work with Inipol EAP 22 o r Corexit or NOT to take Accutane.... gather up the medical facts...

 

& whether or not there were any benefits worth the exposure.  (How could even one life be sacrificed?) 

What you have here is a group of people who are being chemically poisoned.  One hope is to get to some of the consultants in such work, and test for chemical residue still in one's system.  Flush it out....  & get the body's system working properly again.  It could save a person's life, from what I am hearing... hoping...  *

 

Have you ever used Accutane?  It appears the risks are not worth the purported benefits!

God bless those who are asking questions and looking into this.

Accutane is a teratogen

...meaning that it can cause abnormalities in a developing organism, 

resulting in either fetal death or congenital abnormality. 

(So are all the main compounds in crude oil *)

Information about isotretinoin

 from Roche Pharmaceuticals

 

It appears that as long as a product is approved by FDA it can be purchased over the internet with or without a doctor's prescription.  I noticed a list of a dozen drugs (Accutane topped the list) which the FDA warned against purchasing that way.  Also the concern over doctors prescribing for mild acne, which is an abuse.  Even if successfully used ... could the patients have health damage?  The symptoms of suicidal tendencies, clinical depression...etc come from Central Nervous System damage which I've learned is permanent.  Couldn't each State do a health study of everyone who has ever taken the drug for 30 days & see what side effects there have really been?  Couldn't it be removed from the FDA approval in the interim?  ... due to the misuse by doctors and users alike...

It appears that women who become pregnant will be counseled to have an abortion... 

the birth defects or so horrific.

Why not require dispensing each day at a clinic by the clinic... or in a special treatment facility... not to the general public?  Limit it only to men; not to women who can use hormonal therapy.

an opinion only...not medical advice...
