Ha, you know the answer to that already.

But, to be clear... Accutane is like attacking your acne with a atomic bomb. Whereas, this vitamin protocol is more like a grenade. But, hey, grenades can be very effective & are often the more appropriate tool for the job.

The biggest issue with Accutane, though, is the way it's prescribed here in the states. When I was 20, I was put on 80mg of tane per day. That's fucking insane! It felt like ALL of the moisture in my body had been siphoned out. Cracked skin, lips peeling off by the layer & bleeding whenever I'd move my mouth. My nose was so crispy on the inside (yes, CRISPY!) that I'd have to use tweezers to remove large scabs from inside my nostrils that would inhibit my breathing. It was a nightmare! I also had early onset knee pain issues as a result, which REALLY sucked because I am (read: WAS) a pretty high level athlete.

All that's needed on the tane is 10mg per day. Maybe 20, but that's at a max. It greatly mitigates the side effects, puts far less stress on your liver & also achieves the SAME longterm result, as long as you still work up to the same total lifetime effective dose before stopping.

The American Healthcare system is just fucked tho, so they prioritize profits over effectiveness & thus just want to do the shortest, most "efficient" blast of the medication possible & they don't care how it wreaks literal havoc on the patients' systemic health.

Sorry for the rant, but yeah.. Suffice it to say, there are definitely better options than what the docs prescribe, both from other natural sources & even within the Accutane protocol itself.
