There have been several different acne medications over the years and one that has caused serious concern lately is Accutane. Accutane is made up mostly of vitamin A. This drug has a long list of negative side effects and was consequently pulled off the market. It can cause severe depression, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, hair thinning, nose bleeds, peeling skin, headaches, and even reduced bone growth. While all of these side effects are serious, the gastrointestinal problems that Accutane causes are by far the worst. Several people that have taken this drug have had to have surgeries to remove their colons or their large intestines. Once these surgeries are performed the patient can no longer have any sold foods and in the case of the colon removal, the patient would no longer be able to absorb essential nutrients. These people would have to be on a continuous supply of artificial nutrients from the duration of their lives. How long is this going to last? How many more drugs will cause devastating side effects that completely ruin or end peoples’ lives? Here at Chiropractic Wellness we offer many natural skin care alternatives. Just a few of the supplements that can help with acne and other skin conditions are Dermaco, Chaste Tree, Andrographis Complex, Cataplex F, and Thymex. Try the 100% chemical free route before subjecting your body to these drugs that could have horrid side effects. We do not diagnose or treat skin diseases. We offer nutritional support to help your body heal itself.
