Calcium-Magnesium balance-Ringing in ears(tinnitis)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

The products I mentioned ,Calcium Lactate and Cataplex F from Standard

Process Laboratories, usually cannot be obtained in Health Food Stores and is

usually sold only through health care practitioners, but they are available

from

Willner Chemists as I mentioned. Although one is called Calcium Lactate it

also contains Magnesium in it, The ratio of Ca to Mg is 5:1 , which Dr.West

says works well.

He is very critical of other Calcium supplements, as he is of most " store

bought " vitamins.

He says Chronic Fatigue can be caused by prescription drugs and by

store-bought vitamins.

JVW: Many tinnitus sufferers get some relief from supplementing with 80 mg

of gingko biloba three times daily; 30 mg of zinc picolinate, offset with 2 mg

of copper, each twice daily (but taken separately); or 1,000 mg of vitamin

B12 injected once or twice weekly, followed by 5 mg of folic acid.

These have shown promise in lessening the severity of symptoms, but

unfortunately there is no definitive cure for tinnitus. Some people have gotten

relief from acupuncture, while others have tried white noise to drown out the

disturbing ringing. Stress management techniques can also help patients deal

more

effectively with the problem.

He addressed female hair loss here with Iron or MSM.

Hairloss in Women

Splitting Hairs

Jordan, Connery, Bruce Willis. The list of high-

profile bald men who are considered sexy and successful is pretty

long. But there is no corresponding list of attractive and revered

bald women, believe me.

So when I started to notice handfuls of hair going down the drain

in the shower a few months ago, I panicked. I knew I wasn't

pregnant. And I take a B-vitamin supplement every day. These

were the only possible reasons I could think of, and none of them

seemed to apply.

So when I got into work I consulted Dr. , and he reminded

me about iron deficiency. A three-year study of hair loss in women

in the late 90s identified iron deficiency as the cause of hair loss in

72 percent of pre-menopausal women. But you don't need to be

anemic to start losing your hair from lack of iron. So waiting for a

diagnosis of anemia might leave you with a very sparse head of

hair by the time you get to that point.

You can increase your iron intake through your diet. Dried fruits,

fish, meat, legumes, and dark leafy greens are way up there in iron

content. Or you might need to supplement -- although if you do so,

you should seek the assistance of your physician.

Another way to combat hair loss is to supplement with MSM

(methylsulfonyl methane), an important component of proteins

found throughout the body, like the ones in your hair, nails, skin,

and tendons. Since MSM is a sulfur-containing supplement, be

sure to take a small amount of another nutrient called molybdenum

along with it. Molybdenum helps your body metabolize sulfur.

If you're taking any medications, check with you doctor right away

to see if hair loss is one of the side effects. Many blood thinners

and medications to treat arthritis, depression, gout, heart problems,

and high blood pressure are known to cause hair loss.

Finally, you are much more likely to have healthy hair and skin

when you're getting enough omega-3 fatty acids. Eat salmon,

sardines, herring, or mackerel three times a week, or take fish oil

supplements. Or you can supplement your diet with GLA (gamma

linolenic acid) in the form of black currant oil or evening primrose

oil. Dr. recommends taking 500 mg of either twice a day

for six to eight weeks to see if it helps. (And don't forget to add the

400 IU of vitamin E when you add extra essential fatty acids to

your routine.)

Low iron did turn out to be the culprit behind my hair loss. It may

be something else for you. But don't put up with losing clumps of

hair every day for long. I doubt that baldness in women is going to

be " in " anytime soon.

Hi Arnold:

Thank you sooooo much!

I have not tried your any of the supplements that you mention. I

am postmenopausal. But my hair has been falling out for years.

I have had blood tests and no one has told me I need iron. But

it definitely is worth a try. My nails are getting ridges, I read somewhere

that

this could bean low iron. I have never taken msm /

I'll give it a try!

thanks,

e
