Re: Another biotin question

[Guest guest]

My son is taking 30mg per day (yes mg) - and I have not noticed any

difference in the way his hair or nails are growing.

Subject: Another biotin question

We have already bought OLE and Candex to help with yeast die-off, but

biotin seems to be considered the best at taking care of this issue. I

also read that it promotes hair and nail growth. This is actually a

concern of mine. My 4 yr old son has a light mustache that has been

remarked upon by strangers. My 3 yr old has hair all over his body, not

thick, but enough so that it is almost like an early teen. I DO NOT

need more and faster growing facial hair. Is it possible that biotin

would cause us more issues in unseemly hair growth?

Actually biotin was recommended to me for my daughter as she was starting to

lose a lot of her hair. Since she's been on it, I've seen a great

improvement in very little falling out now. How much do you have your boys

on at this time? You might want to take a break from it and see what

happens. Hopefully someone else can give you a better answer than mine. (:

In my experience, biotin deficiency was one of the reasons my son had

a yeast problem in the first place. So yes, it was essential for

long-term healing.

It is required for " healthy " hair and nails. At my house, two of my

kids had very thin hair, and thin/brittle nails. Those issues are

resolved now, because of biotin and a few other things, but the biotin

did not cause " excessive " growth, it just corrected the problem area.

My other two kids had thick hair and nails, and the biotin did not

make things worse.

I would exercise caution wi the biotin - not because of biotin per se but

because it appears to have some influence on other systems in the body besides

hair growth. There is another group I'm on that someone had been told to use

biotin to halt precocious puberty in a girl - I never did hear more info on that

but I personally would not fool with that by myself - affects so many things in

our bodies.  You may want to consult an endocrinologist about hormonal balance -

the hormones testosterone and androgen may be out of balance. I'm pulling from

old college studies but -  Androgen is influenced by the pituitary gland at the

base of the head. The Pituitary directs some of the balance of testosterone,

estrogens, androgens in our bodies. Anybody w hirsutism ( excess hair ) and any

other indications of sexual precocity should probably be looked at.

 

My own experience - I had a bacterial GI tract infection and as part of

supplementation after I was finished w antibiotics my Dr had me take huge

amounts of biotin - 5 mg per day - my hair stopped falling out but I

also started growing hair on my face.

 

This is one area I would go to an MD about if it were I.

Dana (Moderator here) has been recommending Biotin and GSE for years

for yeast to many people including myself with NO problems whatsoever,

this is a bit of an alarmist reaction, This is the first I have ever

heard of this sort of thing, We have been using it for over a year with

no problems whatsoever,Biotin is one of the B vitamins. HTH. Blessings

I do moderate three lists, but I am not the moderator here.

I recently started a lysine protocol for myself, to eliminate herpes

virus [i have warts on my hands]. When I did this with my son [he had

warts, and also he had the virus in his brain], I had to give him 20mg

biotin 3x per day to control the yeast. For myself, I am taking at

least that much biotin, and it is causing some nice improvements in

several areas, not just yeast control.

It probably depends on the person and the specific issues.

No problem. Don't worry about it.
