The debate goes on between those that have tried it vs. those that have not. Mixed in with varying opinions is the question about how much the medical community really knows about flushes or a natural cure for your acne. Could there be a connection between food, liver health, and acne?

What does George say about Liver Flushes?

Careful with any type of flush. They are very forceful on our body. Remember the Fundamental Acne Law # 6: More is NOT better. There are safer and more effective approaches towards 'flushing.' Take a look at the coffee enema in the section Home Remedies for Acne.

"What does Accutane do to your body?"

It's a question that has more than one answer. Quick answers:

Accutane will help some peoples acne. Why?

So they thought, with money on their minds, if you stop the sebum production, you stop acne.

Please realize that sebum is necessary for maintaining healthy skin. People that are perfectly healthy with perfect skin produce sebum. Sebum is not the cause of acne. Sebum is not the cause of acne.

Don't let emotions sway your decision

Many sufferers, especially ones with severe types of acne look to this drug for answers to all their problems. Some sufferers feel so desperate that they will even look to this drug to treat their mild or moderate forms of acne.

We shouldn't be really surprised that so many people have taken the drug. Personally, I remember the feeling of being desperate and clasping my hands on any drug or topical that was said to work. I've read several reported cases of Accutane helping people put an end to their acne - and rashly thought that it would be right for me.

The Risk vs. Reward Factor

Bottom line, Accutane will work but it comes with so many risks that it really isn't worth it!

That's because there are natural ways to cure your acne that the only side effect is a healthier mind and body!

Knowledge is power. Keep on reading, and stay away from prescription drugs!
