NEED HELP! Accutane, MGD, low VitA diet / detox
Quote from Ourania on December 1, 2022, 4:39 pm@act My problems started with my eyes burning terribly, chelazions, bad cataracts, losing eyebrows and eyelashes etc. I never took accutane, was very physical and all my tests were perfect. Then I started to crave vA foods and carotenes. And suddenly all went wrong, I couldn't heal, I was loosing my mind, suddenly thrown into old age. The eyes were just the beginning.
In retrospect I understand now that I had past a point of my capacity to manage vA and I was detoxing due to getting older so sought the vA foods to feel better (it worked fine at first).
Never having taken accutane did not protect me, I had a lot of cod livers all my childhood and after, then lots of chillies, lots of betacarotene foods. Was never a vegetarian and ate lots of eggs, especially when I started craving the vA foods.
On a side thought, I am sure that desire for eggs was strange and I do not think that they are a good idea when you want to detox vA. I have tried the lecithin and Phosphatidyl Choline and thought I was going to die after 4 days. Maybe you need choline to live, but I certainly do not need more. I eat all kinds of meats and parts full of glycine like pig trotters and that is great.
In answer to your question I firmly believe that this is all due to a vA poisoning that started when I was a child and went on all my life. My english is not the best either but I hope I made myself clear.

Quote from Andrew B on December 2, 2022, 2:06 am@act The theory is you have Vitamin A leaking into your blood. People have different points of weakness. Some it's the skin, some the joints. Your weakness might be the eye hence only one symptom of the intoxication. Most of my problems have resolved and skin is my problem. You need to fix the leakiness in bile ducts and liver. High zinc stimulates the detox for many. Hence why I'm saying to people to fix the leakiness as the priority with choline and phospholipids which the body might not be making so much with poor liver health. The high zinc increases the leakiness. An easy source of choline and phospholipids is eggs. Fish eggs, beef hearts, pork and goose fat being some other high sources but these might not be so easy or cheap for everyone to eat hence why I tend to suggest eggs. Again, some will have sulphur problems and egg intolerances so the other foods would be better.
