Comments on: Roche Wins Accutane Lawsuit On Court Reversal http://www.pharmalot.com/2009/10/roche-wins-accutane-lawsuit-on-court-reversal/ News, Comment and Conversation Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:34:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Gerald http://www.pharmalot.com/2009/10/roche-wins-accutane-lawsuit-on-court-reversal/#comment-651452 Gerald Fri, 28 Oct 2011 01:04:39 +0000 http://www.pharmalot.com/?p=19372#comment-651452 Understanding the scope of the meds we take is way beyond me. We seemed to be a hypnotized people. I think we put a chemical in our bodies that cause injury and turn around and do it again and again. Look at the advertisements of the drug company's "we can help you have longer prettier eye lashes with our chemical but you may die of cancer as a side effect", but not to worry it only happens to a small percentage of the people and that's surely not you. Right? The whole medical is founded on a false premis fostered by Louis Pasteur who on his death bed amitted he was wrong. We need to realize that our health is our own responsibility, and not the drug pushers. We get our english word pharmaceutical from a greek word pharmakia. (look up that word) Understanding the scope of the meds we take is way beyond me. We seemed to be a hypnotized people.

I strongly believe that the two could be related... acutane messes with the reproductive organs. Im going to look into this and find a lawyer to help me. Anyone else interested please let me know.

I think we put too much trust in the doctors and the medicines. I too have had some problems, but not with Accutane, I have had an almost fatal encounter with a blood pressure medication. It's time we stepped back into time and look at the old holistic forms of treatment, and keep in mind that big pharma is about money, their mandate by law is to make their investors a profit and they will even it kills you. Remember Vioxx killed about 60,000 people. Remember also that your health is your own responsibility In reading some of the comments and the story about the law suit, by Mr. Mason, I can only put my head down.

If previous posters Ian W, Barry, Chris R, and Joe S would contact me we could perhaps look into a link and do something about it. My email address is itsmeudummy04@yahoo.ca. No this is not a joke, just an old email address that I made up without thinking how it might be perceived when dealing with serious matters. PLEASE contact me, my name is Michele.

We should look into a connection. I, too, took accutane soon after it came on the market and developed testicular cancer years later. We should look into a connection.

It did help while I was on it, but once I went off the acne returned. Thus, was on it multiple times. About 3 or 4 courses. I have not experienced any bowel or colon problems, but I was recently diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. I am wondering if there is any connection to the Accutane here?

Not that they didn't fill thier coffers plenty throughout this time. I took Accutane back in 1983. About 2 months into treatment, I ended up in the hospital with Type 1 diabetes. I always knew it was the accutane as nobody else in my family has diabetes. I filed a lawsuit by myself at 19 years old and had them talk down to me stating that I was just a confused teenager looking for someone to blame. I was pressured into settling for pennies because there wasn't enough proof at that time. My dermatologist called me a year later to apologize for not truly believing me when it happened to another teenager in the same office. A lot of lives could have been saved if they just would have listened to the dumb teenager back in 1983. After 27 years…finally some payback for Hoffman La-Roche.
