Good Post guys! The advise is 100% solid. I had a bad case of Acne too when I was drinking Whey. Swapped into a Vegan Protein Powder and never had it again.

I love your free stacks, but I STRONGLY disagree with some of the advice here. Accutane is a drug with HORRIBLE and IRREVERSIBLE side effects. Having been on it myself I cannot recommend that ANYONE take it. Even with severe disfiguring acne I would very strongly question taking it, and exhaust all other options first. I would rather get v$xxed 100x over before taking Accutane again. I am not exaggerating.

Side effects I experienced:

- Gut issues

- Dry eyes (very difficult to wear contacts)

- Dry itchy skin, very sensitive to changes in environment, air conditioning etc

- Eczema (for which I started using topical steroids)

- Dry sinuses, severely reducing my ability to produce mucous etc

It's been close to ten years since I took it and my health is mostly back to normal, but some of those issues are still lingering. What's worse is that when I went off Accutane my acne came back. Although in hindsight it wasn't really that bad to begin with, and could have been dealt to with lifestyle/diet changes.

Big Pharma and their sales representatives (doctors) are fully aware the side effects are severe and can be permanent, yet they still push it on patients even for very mild cases of acne.

It's a dangerous drug that should be banned.

What is an appropriate daily dose of vitamin A if one doesn’t want to go on accutane?
