Hair Loss

[Guest guest]

It's awful losing hair. I have a bald spot on the top of my head that makes me feel like an old lady. I was hoping that the addition of Bhrt might help but not so far...although it's only been about 6 weeks. I also stopped taking DHEA which some believe is linked to hair loss. But have seen no improvement yet.

Yikes..I'll be in a wig soon!

NAC is a precursor to glutathione and is considered an excellent way to

increase it.

Sherry, are you only taking 30mg of iodine a day? If so, you really might

do better taking more.

But here is the issue I have with this. Cutler is the only one who promotes this thought. I have not read it anywhere else. He is not the end all and be all in the mercury field. As I told you I did not use his chelation protocol and did just fine. According to him I should be a neurological mess.

I'm losing a TON of hair too. Very disturbing. I'm on progesterone so I don't

think it's that for me. I think the higher doses of iodine, for me, are causing

heightened hypoT symptoms.

I haven't been taking iodine and it is still happening. I am working my way through my supplements - not taking any of them and slowly adding back. So for me it isn't the iodine.

Interesting. I'm planning on doing the same thing. I'm doing 3 things that cause

detox; iodine, fulvic acid and diatomaceous earth (besides the companion

nutrients and ALA) so I'll stop everything and then slowly add things back in

once my hair stops falling out, in the event that the weight ganin/hair loss is

due to detoxing.

I think in your case the stress maybe causing your hair loss. Have you ever thought about that? Single, unemployed, health issues, no insurance and whatever else maybe going on in your private life and if you have had any good kind of support system near home. I was seeing a shrink for about 8 years but because nobody would go to counseling with me nor did I have a support system. So I have moved into an enviromemt with other disabled people. I have a very nice place now that is easier for me to live at. No stairs, spacious rooms because all of the town houses are set up for wheel chair access.I've lived here now for 2 months. I'm still trying to settle in and but can't seem to kick the lonely feeling. I have 4 grown children that spread themselves out all over the US and living with them

for 20 years and then all of a sudden I'm by myself again. I was married for 25 years and married at 19. Now I'm 47 and I really don't like being by myself but hanging in there.I truly believe that stress does not help our health at all. Plus when we are stressed or even depressed it effects our diets also and how we eat.Just a few thoughts for you to mull over. from IllinoisFrom: spacejunkie2001us <scastor@...>iodine Sent: Tue,

Hi ,

Though you have a valid point, emotional stress has a direct effect on the body's ballance, there can be many other causes for Sherry's symptoms as well. It really couldn't hurt for her to try to find out more about supplementation for legitimate medical issues like adrenal fatigue and hypothyroid.

What's more, I am happilly married with a fantastic 2 year old daughter, employed, have a great support system of both friends and family and still have issues with my hair falling out and the inability to lose weight. I have hypothyroid and a prolactinoma.

I hope you're able to settle in to your new home soon. With new places come new opportunities to meet people, make good friends and have a new support system. At 47 you're a spring chicken. This is your time.

All the best,

Regina

When your hair falls out in circular patches like coins –

say the size of a quarter – it is definitely a stress related problem. I

read about it years ago in my FIL’s medical magazines, then watched my

brother go through it. Then one day about 10 years ago I was getting my

hair cut, and my stylist, who has been cutting my hair for 26 years, asked, “So

what are you so stressed about?” I had a bald patch on the top of my head

that I had not noticed because it was hidden. He knew that that was definitely stress.

It seems that all over loss is more hormone, thyroid, related, while specific

bald patches is stress.

I still take 60-90 mg Armour, but discontinued hydrocortisone/HC for adreanal

fatigue after I started iodine earlier this year because felt more relief with

it than I ever did with HC. Given it's negative side effects and the good

reaction I felt with iodine initially, I felt it was better to wean off of HC and

did so a few months ago.

I believe that cutlers way is the best way, but not the only way. ALA is a very powerful chelater, probably the most powerful, if you have mercury in your mouth it only makes sense not to do it.

okay, I have only been tested for ferritin levels once (near as I can tell), and

that was Feb 10. My result was 34.0 and the ref range on the report was

5.0-148.00, so my doc put a check mark by the 34 indicating I was in range.

Are you saying I should still be betwen 70-90 on that same range? (in other

words, closer to the 148?)

How do you get your ferritin levels up?

IMO you are taking very low doses of everything and I wonder why? why

not take iodine every day 50-100mg? most ppl take 3-5 grains of Armour

(180==300mg). then you can add enough HC back in and you will feel 100%

better.

I'd definitely look at some kind of liver support like the Livatone then, the weight gain could be related to not being able to keep up with detoxing everything.LinnOn Jul 6, 2010, at 1:11 AM, lookonthebriteside wrote:

Thanks, Michele.

I could increase Armour as I have a bunch stockpiled. But I'm not sure it's the right thing to do. My thyroid was never terribly low functioning. I was last tested a little over a year ago, and my values were pretty good at 90 mg. I never had a weight problem prior to starting thyroid medication, even though I'm sure my hypothyroidism was undiagnosed for many years. One thing I know is that the weight gain is directly related to when I started on iodine. It happened very quickly after I started iodine and was otherwise unwarranted.

I've even considered the possibility that I'm getting too much thyroid hormone/s and should try weaning off of Armour. I have a history of adrenal fatigue, and I'm not treating my adrenals right now (other than with sea salt). From what I understand, Armour can stress the adrenals, so I certainly wouldn't want to get too much.

It's called alopecia areata, it's an autoimmune condition. I had problems with it about 20 years ago, took cortisone shots directly into the scalp to stop it, it worked, I had 3 spots that just spontaneously fell out. It can occur anywhere on the body.

I think in your case the

stress maybe causing your hair loss. Have you ever thought about that? Single,

unemployed, health issues, no insurance and whatever else maybe going on in

your private life and if you have had any good kind of support system near

home. I was seeing a shrink for about 8 years but because nobody would go to

counseling with me nor did I have a support system.

So I have moved into an enviromemt with other disabled people. I have a very

nice place now that is easier for me to live at. No stairs, spacious rooms

because all of the town houses are set up for wheel chair access.

I've lived here now for 2 months. I'm still trying to settle in and but can't

seem to kick the lonely feeling. I have 4 grown children that spread themselves

out all over the US and living with them for 20 years and then all of a sudden

I'm by myself again. I was married for 25 years and married at 19. Now I'm 47

and I really don't like being by myself but hanging in there.

I truly believe that stress does not help our health at all. Plus when we are

stressed or even depressed it effects our diets also and how we eat.

Just a few thoughts for you to mull over.

How do you define "best". There isn't a way to do this. Everyone's body is different. He says no DMPS challenge yet I did one 2 times. He says no ALA w/ amalgam fillings. Yet I took it for 6 mos before removing them. He says take DMSA every 3 hours - I took it all at once at night. This is how my doctor's practice and many many others are doing it with their patients. Their patients are having success - or I know my doctor wouldn't use the protocol he uses. My other DO does IV chelation. I think as with all protocols we need to be careful in stating it is the best way to do something. Even with high dose iodine it isn't the best way to do things in all cases. I think stating that many have had good results with his protocol is a good way to state it. Just my humble opinion but I shy away from promoting anything as the best.
