Acne Drugs Causing Birth Defects
Isotretinoin, marketed as Accutane in the USA and Roaccutane in the UK, was initially a chemotherapy drug now used for severe acne. Despite its effectiveness, it poses significant risks, including suicide, seizures, bone degradation, heart attacks, strokes, and gastrointestinal issues like Crohn’s disease. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Roche Pharmaceuticals due to these severe side effects.
A Sydney Morning Herald report highlights tragic cases of young women experiencing miscarriages and birth defects after becoming pregnant on isotretinoin. The promise of clear skin is not worth the severe health risks. Safer, natural treatments should be prioritised.

Ibuprofen (Nurofen) Can Inhibit Ovulation
Inflammation is part of the body’s innate intelligence, a method by which damage is repaired. Unfortunately when this gets painful, it can be difficult for some people to let the body heal itself unaided so they reach for the drugs. Can’t blame anyone for this – as you have been aggressively marketed to for generations now.
NSAID’s can do the job, they may dull the pain. However, this fast relief comes at a cost.
Raised liver enzymes, diarrhoea, headaches, dizziness, salt and fluid retention and high blood pressure are only a few of the numerous side effects that come with use of NSAID’s.
Is Dementia Type III Diabetes – Diabetes of the Brain?
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and is characterised by the death of nerve cells, memory loss and reduced cognitive function.
Insulin is responsible for the uptake of glucose into brain cells, so insulin resistance in the brain beaks down the nerve connections required for memory and learning.
Insulin resistance is also associated with damaging levels of inflammation and compounds that are toxic to the nerves within the brain.
Here is how it works.
Enjoy Avo’ Power – Ditch the Refined Carbs
If you want to stay warm during winter how would you get your Coonara (wood heater) going?
Well, you would probably use some kindling to get it started and then put logs on when you could.
You might use some small kindling initially.
But you know that bigger kindling helps get the logs going.
And it is the logs – like red gum – that keep you warm for hours.
