Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 The people on the Oleander Soup newsgroup claim that oleander prevents most all chemo related side effects including hair loss. My Mom who has been following the Budwig Protocol is going to start taking the Sutherlandia OPC capsules and I believe she might be starting with chemo again after a three-four month break. We will see how she fairs. She had hair loss as well as severe side effects and stopped chemo after two treatments. Hugs, Rose From: chu_hui_ping Hi. Does any one know any remedy to minimize hair loss caused by chemo? Just that my mom has been losing so much hair with her most recent chemo and I am really hoping to do something to help her.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think oleander grows hair in general! I swear I have more hair than before I started taking it. Yep -- I used to have 2 hairs, and now I have 3. Amazing. Chemo is nasty nasty stuff. Or at least this was my experience. I think I'll start a separate thread on it. > > The people on the Oleander Soup newsgroup claim that oleander prevents most all chemo related side effects including hair loss.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Jim, So are you being sarcastic? Do you not think the Oleander could reduce the side effects of chemo or just not the hair loss part? Hugs, Rose From: jim.mcelroy10 I think oleander grows hair in general!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Oh, I don't know about reducing side effects. Chemo almost killed me -- twice -- so I'm not going near it again to find out! Regarding growing hair in general, I think that oleander can do that! I think I read something about that, perhaps on the oleander forum, and I swear I have maybe 20% more hair on my head than when I started taking it. Of course this might be a conspiracy to try to sell more oleander. > > Jim, > So are you being sarcastic?

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I am no expert at all about this but I have been told more then once that Nioxin is what some people use. You may want to look into it also. It's not cheap but this time of year you can find them in twin packs a little cheaper.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I forgot to mention Colloidal Silver. People have reported thicker hair growth and also natural color restoration from taking it internally AND applying it directly to the scalp.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Interesting. I run an organic soap and lotion company and just made up a lotion by request for someone for a certain hair loss diagnosis. It was a combination of I think 4 different essential oils in two carrier oils. Not sure if it will work but if anyone wants to try it themselves I can give out the recipe. I believe it takes months though to see.

Do you know what it is? When I was taking bio identical hormones my hair was very thick and since I stopped about 2 months ago I am thinning rapidly on the top.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Back in 2001 I took 600 mg Biotin 3x a day (GNC brand). Although my hair thinned, I never went bald, and what I did lose was growing in before I was even done with my 6 months of chemo. I have an aunt who has recurring non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and she had to have experimental drugs because she had had everything on the market at that time. I sent her some Biotin to take, same as I did, and she never lost her hair either. The onco ward where I had my chemo now recommends the Biotin at the same dose I took to their incoming patients. ________________________________ From: chu_hui_ping <chu_hui_ping@...> Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 8:29:40 AM Subject: [ ] Hair loss - any solution?
