Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi, I'm sorry to say that Accutaine as well as Larium, are versions of the generic drug, Mefloquine. Lariam is the anti-malarial drug which has caused a number of very serious and often difficult if impossible to reverse problems, including brain stem damage. Our friend, Sue Rose, an attorney with aMasters in Public Health -- sorry to say the late Sue Rose, who is the friend who turned me on to SCD, was also a key person doing work on this issue. She made a fabulous film/dvd on this issue. I do not think it ever got to the point of being released. It is a heart breaker-- as were the eulogies of folks she helped who had taken one or another form of this drug. Here is a website that, while labeled Lariam, may be helpful to anyone considering any version of Mefloquine: www.lariaminfo.org/ Ruth 6.Accutane & Crohn's Disease law suitPosted by: " sunheals " sun_heals@... sunhealsTue Sep 14, 2010 6:39 am (PDT) The following was sent by a friend. I am posting it here for anyone to whom it may be of interest. There are a bunch of advertisements being run by personal injury attorneys about the acne drug called Accutane. They claim that it causes Crohn's Disease. http://www.erichweinberg.com/accutane/ http://www.accutanesideeffectslawsuit.com/ http://www.ennislaw.com/accutane.html Suneeti (Crohns, SCD 2000) Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I took anti-malaria pills in 1992 when I went to India, don't remember the name.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hmm, Accutane is Isotretinoin, C20H2802 a retinoid, and Mefloquine is C17H16F6N02. In other words, they have totally different chemical structures. That said, I'm glad I never took Accutane. The antibiotics for acne were bad enough.-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thank you for posting this julie and others before hand... i was on Roaccutane for 9 months when in year 11/12 (high school- australia!) and I firmly believe that it set me up for a weakened liver, thus glandular fever (mono), then contributed to chronic fatigue, and I got IBS somewhere along the way too.... all related for sure! I understand now the bioenergetics of the body a lot more, and wholistic health and healing, but still feel that Roaccutane is a nasty nasty drug, and that if the side effects had really been pointed out to me, and the significance of damaged liver function etc I would NOT have taken it! Having said that, it was a saving grace and my skin became IMMACULATE! Self love and inner peace all the way though..... xo > > Hmm, Accutane is Isotretinoin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotretinoin>, > C20H2802 a retinoid, and > Mefloquine<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mefloquine>is C17H16F6N02.
