Roaccutane – What the doctor ordered?

June 12th, 2008

Roaccutane – what is the verdict?

There is no doubt that in many cases Roaccutane helps acne sufferers. But what are the risks and side effects?

With a quick Google search on the word Roaccutane you will see many articles about Roaccutane.

Warning: If you are taking this drug, do not stop taking it without medical advice.
Read this article to get more of the debate about Roaccutane.

Case Study on media reports

Depression, Medication, Acne and Suicide: A case study in the reporting and portrayal of suicide in Australia’s metropolitan press.

I’ve read several but I thought is was worth analysing what they are saying. Here is an analysis of how one Skin Specialist presented the proposal to consider Roaccutane. What I did was use MS Word to count the number of words used to describe Roaccutane. I took the general headings and counted the words used under each sub heading.

Here’s what I found….

Heading Words Used Percentage
Common Complaint 87 2.7%
Description 89 2.8%
Side Effects 2259 70.8%
Treatment period 91 2.9%
Diet Information 590 18.5%
Life is the same? 75 2.4%
Total Words 3191

Here you can see that one doctor used a total of 2,259 words, 70% of the space to describe the side effects and risks associated with Roaccutane. And just 89 words, less than 3%, to describe what Roaccutane is.

What words were used in the warnings about side affects?

  • Birth defects
  • Prevent yourself from getting Pregnant
  • Depression (particularly young people)
  • Are cracked lips
  • Dryness of the skin
  • Skin infections
  • Nose bleeds
  • Dry eyes
  • Conjunctivitis
  • Tenderness or stiffness in the bones and muscles
  • Skin infections
  • Peeling of the palms and soles
  • Bleeding and inflammation of the gums
  • Headache
  • Weight loss
  • Diarrhoea
  • Abnormal menstrual cycle
  • Thinning of the hair
  • Absolutely must not get pregnant
  • Dry Lips
  • Dry Nose
  • Dry Vagina
  • Dry Eyes
  • Dry Skin
  • Sun Sensitivity.
  • Dry Scalp.
  • Dry Anus.
  • Muscle fatigue

An impressive list in any-ones language. Does this list not tell you to be careful. Why not consider a natural alternative to the cure of Acne.

Best Acne Treatment – Accutane is it the solution?

June 11th, 2008

Best Acne Treatment – Are you considering Accutane as a solution?

Do you know someone who suffers from Acne?

Particularly through the formative years Acne is truly one of the most socially debilitating ailments. Imagine feeling those micro glances as people pass by.

The frustration when Grandma says “When are you going to do something about your skin?”

The constant reminder when you look in the mirror!

Many, are still looking for the best acne treatment but in desperation, considering accepting medical advice to take Accutane. But is it safe?

Did you know that Correy Stephenson, a staff writer published an excerpt from 2007, Lawyers USA © reporting that the “First Accutane verdict yield US$2.6 million” but “Hundreds of inflammatory bowel disease cases remain.” Others have suffered from depression, chronic diarrhoea, vomiting, nocturnal incontinence… not to mention the warnings to pregnant women about possible birth defects.

Yes, it’s important to know that Accutane has many dangers associated with it.

So…. What’s the answer? Indeed, is there a solution? And it’s the best acne treatment that is safe, pure and beneficial.

Well, I can’t make any definitive statements or give any guarantees but there is a possible best acne treatment solution using botanically based pure and safe products.
