Any Post-Accutane sufferers experimenting with protocols?

[Flynn]

Are there any post accutane sufferers currently experimenting with any of the protocols on this forum such as Gbols protocols? Have they noticed any improvement or found any protocols to be ineffective (not worth trying)?

Would be useful to know, I'm looking to jump on a protocol or get some feedback on whether these protocols have been effective in any accutane sufferers, particularly with sexual side effects.

Anyone tried reservatrol? I know gbol says its only a temporary fix for PFS but right now, I'd be amazed if any supplement can give me a libido, even if it disappears without the supplement. Would really bring my hopes up of finding a way to treat this.

I am a 2 round post accutane user. Never had libido or mental sides, basic issues where progressively worsen acne and skin issues.

I have done short 3 and 14 day water fasts with high dose Progesterone, and just completed a 54 day Breuss fast. Also doing the zinc finger triad experiment right now to further improve digestion.

Fasting has absolutely fix all digestion issues I had, and cleared libido sides that I didnt realize I had. Those sides are fuller erections, more blood flow and better senstivity down below.

Still working on sleep, I can get 6hrs deep sleep, trying to push that out to 8hrs.

I will be 2 weeks post 54 day fast this Saturday.

Ok so its possible fasting could help the libido sides? When you say water fast, are you literally eating nothing except water? What source of progesterone were you using?

 

[Orion]

Just water for water fasts, having some NaCl and KCl can help as well.

Used healthnatura progesterone.

Could you do a water fast with coconut water then? And so even though you never had sexual side effects you still think you gained some sexual benefit from protocol??

 

[Orion]

Coconut water could be used I think, it is low cal and would provide sodium and potassium.

I never had blatant sexual sides, but after the 3 short and long fasts I have down it has revealed that I did have minor issues present. Fuller erections, hanging lower, better blood flow, more sensitivity...

Any psych problems? Any fatigue?

Just curious

During fasting? No mental issues, except quick to anger/grumpy, but yes the longer you get into fasts, the fatigue creeps up, by week 8 things were in slow motion, but I was still going to the gym (daily walking cardio for 45mins), going to work, and taking care of my pre-teen, sleeping decent and daydreaming of grandiose meal plans...

Isnt this extremely taxing to your adrenal glands?

I've heard of people over training and under eating for extended periods of time who induced some kind of metabolism disorder.

 

[Flynn]

Are no other post accutane people trying any of Gbols protocols then?

 

[B_D_Acc]

I'm going to give it a go.

I've ordered some L-Cysteine HCl and L-Histidine HCl from the states (I'm in Aus) so just waiting for it to arrive.

I've been trialling a high dose magnesium supplement in light of GBols theory of high cortisol depleting magnesium and I've noticed increased energy and mood from it.

If you have oily skin, you might have high histamine. And histidine might increase it further. Try magnesium b2 for skin

 

[Helen]

I 'm still thinkin about accutane. Orion will try couple of protocols I suggested. Dont jump into histidine thing. zinc finger could be high or low. so histidine can be high or low.

Accutane worked on my skin. It reduced the oiliness massively so now it's dry and I hardly have any acne. My strongest symptoms are sexual sides (ED, no sensation, libido or orgasm) and maybe mood/energy but harder to tell.

I figured I would give cysteine/histidine a go to see if it increases histamine at all and brings back any sensation or orgasm feeling, but if you think that's a bad idea I'm happy to wait.

Also a accutane sufferer here, dry skin but no acne like you.

Cysteine makes me nothing short of completely awful. I also have Mercury problems (I think) which makes sense because cysteine had a thiol group which weakly binds to Mercury.

Have you had your mercury levels tested? I'm sure if you thought you had a problem any Doc would be happy to order a test.

Yes. Unfortunately Mercury is terribly tough to test.

As much as we like to think it just stays in the serum, it doesn't.
Mercury has an affinity for tissue and organs, especially brain tissue.

Hair analysis is an option, but it won't directly reflect tissue levels.
