Guest guest Posted January 11, 2001 Report Share Posted January 11, 2001 When I was in high school, I went through a bout with dandruff. The shapoo's available over the counter didn't help. I tries " seabreeze " . It's a facial cleanser (liquid). I would put some on a cotton ball and dab the cotton ball on where the dandruff was the worst (usually my hairline above my forehead and the top of my head). Be careful not to get it in eyes. It tingles ALOT and feels wrms, kinda like metholatum does under your nose. It worked great for me. I hope this helps!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 Hi, My name is Terry--I am Louise's son. The best thing I know of is Selsun Blue Shampoo, the medicated with the red cap. Rub it in wet and then sit with a shower cap on for one half hour and then shower--I use the little plastic bags in the produce section of markets to pull over my head. Do this every other day for 3 days and then make sure you use it in the shower at least every 5 days. Should do the job for you. Dandruff > Hi Guys!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 You're probably right on - if the hair (scalp) is oily, it's more likely to cause dandruff. The best way to control it is frequent shampooing and making sure that she rinses really well. Also, found this on the web: DANDRUFF TREATMENT: Pour apple cider vinegar on the scalp, massage, let dry for a few minutes then wash as normal. Repeat this process every day until dandruff disappears (usually within a week).

My 11 year old daughter is hitting puberty hard, and her hair is becoming oily and her scalp is flakey. I don't know if it is actually dandruff, or just from her hormones. Thanks for all your help!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Actually either oily or a dry scalp can have dandruff but the dry scalp is what flakes off and what is noticed.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Hi Leanna, Tea Tree is a good one for dandruff. I don't know how much you would put in I have always bought the Tea Tree shampoo. Maybe someone else can help you on this one. Sharon Can anyone recommend an e.o. treatment for dandruff?

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 > Can anyone recommend an e.o. treatment for dandruff? I had my scalp burned by a perm about 13 years ago and I've had problems with it being flakey in the burned area. I've used the asprine recipe that's in the library. I added some tea tree oil and a touch of peppermint EO. Anytime I use it I have no flakes.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Thanks Dawn, Nan, Kay and Sharon, for the help with the dandruff problem. I checked the aspinin recipe out and would like to know what does the asperine actually do to help with the dandruff. Anyone know? Have a great day. Leanna in Alberta.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 After picking up 3 different amoeba's from third world travels and drinking raw milk,I found my dandruff production had grown to awesome proportions.Following the advice of a real N.P, I called " Great Smokies Diagnostic Lab " (google GSDL.com)and completed a " comprehensive parasite check " . Three 10 day treatments with Metronidazole(Flagyl) finally got rid of the parasites and the dandruff.Young people who foray for the coprophilic Psylocybe Mushrooms and consume them raw picked directly from the manure patties often find themselves infested with some pretty predacious internal parasites.These amoeba parasites are usually killed by the heat of pastuerization.In order to find a doctor in your area who works with GSDL one should call GSDL and get the names of doctors in their local area who use GSDL.My doctor indicated that you probably would not get an accurate reading if local labs were used. > >Lots of people have written to me that Kombucha has helped them with > everything from dandruff, > -- > This makes sense, Bev. .

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 > However, he has had a scalp problem for a long time - patches of what look like scabs all over his scalp under his hair. It causes very bad dandruff as it flakes off and I'm not sure how to help him. Hi Anita, You may want to consider dermatitis herpetiformis, caused by gluten intolerance. Very itchy blisters that form scabs, that weep when rubbed off - then the scabs form again, and again..... Jewel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Have you tried using coconut oil, topically? It's great for dry skin and hair and scalp, plus it's anti-fungal.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 From: http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/virgin_coconut_oil_for_hair_treatment.htm *Suggested Uses:* *For dry scalp*: Rub into hair and scalp at least 30 minutes before showering, or before bed at night. Wear a shower cap or towel to protect bedding. *As a hair conditioner*: Rub into the ends of your hair after washing, while the hair is still wet. Apply as needed, working towards the scalp. It can also be used as a pre-wash hair treatment applying just before showering. Excellent for ALL hair types!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks for the great link! I really appreciate it, and will read it after sending this message to you! I also read to rinse hair with ACV diluted half/half with water, and to leave on. I think I will try the coconut oil 30 minutes prior to his shower, then rinse with ACV diluted.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Also, just rub it on to the skin like lotion! It is excellent. So is Jojoba oil for moisture.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Barb, I actually tried adding in naturthroid the other day and it made me feel hypo. Do you know why this is and what I can do about it? I would like to get on a more balanced T4/T3 combo at some point.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 You felt hypo in one day? With 1/4 grain? I guess your body could sense the missing T3. When I converted over, I did have a VERY hypo period where my bones actually hurt, but after about 4 weeks of holding a dose, the extra T4 finally started converting to enough T3 that the pain finally started dissipating. So the transition is rough, but many things have improved for me. DH even says my mood is better. Maybe HAN will have some ideas. > > > > > > hey group, > > > > > > I recently started getting dandruff. Is this hypothyroid, low test, high > > > E2, etc?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 And you switched to erfa? Like I said, I would like to make the switch. I like the T3 only but I often feel like I'm on speed - I am alert but don't have that calm but alert feeling I had before going hypo. I even talked to Dr. Lowe, who is the biggest promoter of T3 only dosing, and he told me that he prefers to put people on NTH and only puts them on T3 if they don't do well on NTH. I'll give it a try and just tuff it out. Thanks Barb On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 9:27 AM, Barb <baba@...> wrote: > > > You felt hypo in one day? With 1/4 grain?
