Re: Vitamin A = Lethargy, Joint Pain, and more...

probably f'd up your own vitamin A metabolic function with the accutane.

What happens when you get vitamin A from a healthy animal source?

There are **no** vegetable sources of the active forms of vitamin A... only forms that need to be converted... and you can only convert if you have the enzymes necessary to do so.

I know another who took accutane that is having the same problems as yourself... raw vegetables make him worse just like you... sick to his stomach even... they have to be cooked and loaded with healthy, pastured butter - rich in active form vitamin A - or taken along with active form, vitamin A rich animal foods, and then he is okay.

I suspect that accutane fubars the metabolic ability to convert carotinoids - and makes people sensitive to them - this is a VERY bad side effect that is not seen in some cases for years after the individual has taken the drug.

And probably one of the reasons behind many lawsuits against the drug.
