Re: thinning hair in women

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy,

You might consider checking into Emotional Freedom Technique. I have

a friend who has tried it with very positive results. Dr. Mercola

recommends it highly and uses it a lot in his practice to help peope

with emotional issues involving food. There is a web site which would

tell you where the closest practioner is located. It can also be

learned and used by anyone on their own. My friend found having some

help in the early stages of using EFT was more beneficial to her.

I'm sure there are nutritional issues at work here too. Others may be

able to help with those.

All my best,

Sheila

Amy, I suffered from this off and on for over a year. After getting

your thyroid levels checked, you might try increasing your protein

intake. Also, look into a progresterone cream and finally, change

shampoos. I went from an expensive all natural brand to a cheap store

brand and my hair stopped falling out. I tried the old shampoo for a

few days and was surprised at the amount of hair I lost. Maybe an

allergy to an ingredient. I have since given up the progesterone

cream and my dh and grocery bills will attest the the high amounts of

protein I ingest.

I would probably try *virgin* coconut oil - 3 TBS a day - for your

thyroid. Many people experience raised body temperature and a better

thyroid panel with coconut oil.

Same thing with my first pregnancy, and it continued worse after my second,

until I found I was sensitive to wheat and cut it from my diet. Went back to

normal levels of hair loss. I was wheat-free for several years to allow my

gallbladder to heal up, but now I will allow small amounts on occasion. I

can always tell when I'm overdoing it, because my hair starts falling out

again!
