I can't say about the other causes, but hair loss is one of those

things that comes about with gluten intolerance, even in women.

Alopecia. In that case, the hair does come back when the person

goes on a GF diet. I suspect other food intolerances could cause

the same problem ... in the case of gluten intolerance you have

malabsorption (so there are vitamins and minerals lacking) and you

have autoimminue issues (the body is attacking itself -- whcih causes

low thyroid and other hormones, which also tends to cause

hair loss).

There's a lot of genetics involved too though ... Northern European

males are pretty much the only male humans to have really big

bushy beards, and they seem to have thinner head hair. May be an

adaption to living on glaciers ...

According to Dr. Mercola, male hair loss may come from insulin

resistance:

This is interesting. Maybe I have some insulin resistance.

I remember I was sent to a diabetic clinic once after having oats and honey

for breakfast.

They thought I was diabetic with initial tests but it turns out I wasn't.

But I still had irregularities.

Mercola's research also makes me wonder. With all his knowledge.

Has he reversed any of his imbalances/resistances ect to emit hair regrowth

on himself?

Not to my knowledge. From what I remember he regrets not knowing this

earlier, so he could have prevented it.

But, that's not to say it couldn't happen. Do a search on his site for

hair regrowth or hair growth and see what pops up. Seems to me he

talked about that at one point.
