hair loss

program? I'm losing quite a bit of hair and I'm getting concerned as I

have very thin hair to begin with. Maybe it's my thyroid problem as

that can cause hair loss as well.

Hi Maddy. There are many health problems that can cause hair loss, and

one that is major, is candida. Candida toxins make all of the body's

cell rigid/stiff so this will affect hair growth and loss of hair.

During the beginning stages of the program more candida toxins are

being released, so it is understandable hair loss could be the result.

Of course candida toxins affect all of the organs in the body, making

them malfunction, because the toxins making the cells rigid.

This too shall pass. I lost tons of hair on the candida program, but

it eventually stopped sometime during my 2 1/2 year cure.

Luv, Bee

everything ....

Like I said in an earlier post I cheated all summer (I teach school)

while I was gone and really bad the last month. I am having die off

right now and I have been losing a lot of hair. It is amazing I have

any and what is left is noticeably thinner. I have been through this

before and it will slow down and start to grow back.

I don't know the exact reason but what I thought was that your body has

resources to fix things and maintaining hair is not as high a priority.

Back when I was REALLY sick and didn't know what was wrong with me I

had hair loss and my hair was going gray. I was only 36 and I had big

thick streaks of gray. I was putting the food in but it was not getting

to my hair. Because of the candida there were not enough nutrients for

the hair. My hair only has a few gray hairs now at the temple. Normal

for a 38 year old.

I too am a teacher, and I have hair loss.....are we pulling our hair

That is funny. Teachers have a hard job. All my hair turned back to

it's original color except a few at the temple. I think that is normal

and there is nothing I can do about that besides a little hair dye.

That's excellent Shelby from NC!!! I think you have a good

understanding of what the body is doing and why. When we trust the

wonderful mechanisms of our body, and follow Nature's Laws regarding

health we can look forward to long happy healthy lives. AND without

fear of dying like the medical industry wants us to feel! That is

trully FREEDOM!!

+++Hi . Your body is going through a lot of changes, and there

are more toxins created by candida being killed off, which can cause

hair loss. Hair loss is mainly caused by low adrenal and thyroid

function, which most candida sufferers have. To understand more about

how candida toxins affect all organ functions, and the utilization of

hormones, nutrients, etc. see " Candida Causes Cell Membrane Defects " ;

I was diagnosed with Lyme approximately a year ago and but most likely I've had

since I was a teenager - 25 years ago. My symptoms became unbearable so I

started medication

(Tetracycline and Plaquinal (sp)) last December. Anyhow, I'm feeling much better

but I've noticed my hair is very dry and has be thinning quite a bit lately. Is

this condition due to the disease or could it be a side effect of the

medication?

My hair falls out when I'm herxing. It does grow back though.

Have you had your thyroid checked?

Not the standard panel (nothing we need is standard, unfortunately);

you need a full workup that includes free T3. An LLMD should be able

to order the right thing. For more good info on silent thyroid

disorders, check out <www.stopthethyroidmadness.com>.

Lyme gets into the hypothalamus, which regulates endocrine function.

From there, it can easily take out thyroid, adrenals, and so on. If

you've had Lyme for a while (and especially if you've been under heavy

stress at any point since), you're at high risk.

There are other symptoms listed at the site. Belly fat, loss of

eyebrow hair, dry skin, brittle nails -- take a look, and see if it

fits.

As Sara pointing out... there can be issues with the thyroid that can act up.

 

If you are of Celtic ancestry, you should also look into issues relating to the

'Celtic Curse' that can also cause havoc. Here is a link that explains this:

I think that your hair loss is probably related more to the Lyme than

to medication side effects. At one point I was almost bald! The

identified cause for my hair loss was a hormonal imbalance. My entire

hypothalmic-pituitary axis (the system in your body that is primarily

responsible for hormone regulation among other things) was completely

haywire. I would suggest you check into getting a full hormone

screening panel. The most likely culprit for me was that my

testosterone levels were high, my estrogen levels were almost non-

existent, and my Vitamin D levels were very low. Once I got my

hormones balanced out, my hair started growing back. I have also read

that an overgrowth of yeast or fungus can cause follicular

inflammation that can cause your hair to fall out. Tetracycline does

have hair loss as a rare side effect. Plaquenil is also known to have

hair loss as a side effect, but it is also known to help with hair

loss as well. How is your diet? Is it well-balanced? Do you take

vitamins? Are you taking a good probiotic to cut down on yeast? The

causes for hair loss can be complex, so I would suggest that you

consult with your doctor to get a thorough blood panel work up.

Hello Amy. Don't forget that spring is the season for hair shedding - which is

normal. So there is a chance that your hair loss is totally normal and seasonal.

Me too I have severe hair loss, ,but this happens to me every spring.

+++Hi Amy. There are no special things you need to do, whether the cause is

thyroid, adrenals or other malfunctions, since they are all caused by a low

immune system. Just do the diet and take the supplements.

Bee

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy,

I just wanted to let you know that when I started on Bee's program I was losing

a lot of hair. I have thick hair, too, so it wasn't noticeable to others. It

stopped falling out around the 8 month mark. I'm sure yours will slow down in

time as well.

That should stop when you get your dosage to the proper level. At what

stage of the titration are you? If you were just diagnosed, it is likely

that you will have at least one more increase before you truly feel well.

[Guest guest]

I have only been taking levothyrorxin 25mcg for about 4 weeks now, I have

noticed that my energy has increased for awhile. But I did start exercising

again 3-4 days a week and I found myself getting really tired again. Not to

mention because of the hypothyroidism, I am having female issues as well and I

am also on Provera, which I hope this is my last month of. My Hair loss as

gotten alot worse and it is so hard right now. I have increased my biotin levels

but, I know it is a waiting game. I am just ready to feel better and have my

hair grow back.

 Thank you for your response.

That is an unusually small first dose. Most doctors are only this

cautious if you have a heart condition. Is that the case?

For example, I started at 75 mcg, and six weeks later increased to 125 mcg.

Please share the test results that prompted this dose (with reference

ranges). You might have a good argument for an immediate increase

instead of waiting for the normal titration interval of six weeks.

Since you are newly diagnosed, your doctor is starting you on a really low dose

to see how it affects your thyroid. I was started at 50mcg...then gradually up

to 100-125mcg. At around 100-125 mcg my hairloss had finally stopped.   I tried

biotin as well, it did absolutely nothing for the hairloss.  Once your thyroid

levels are within a normal range for your body, it will stop. It took at least

2-3 months to stop my hairloss.

IMHO 25 mcg is a VERY LOW starting dose. Unless your doctor doubts you

even have hypothyroidism I don't really know why he would start so low.

You need to be on Naturethroid.

Please join the naturalthyroid group

& the iodine group, where people are getting well

and not taking synthetic drugs that only have t3 & t4.

Your body needs all the thyroid hormones,

t1, t2, t3 t4 & one more, I forget.

Read the

stopthethyroidmadness.com

site and the book.

It will change your life

Also read the

naturalthyroidchoices.com

site.

A wealth of information.

Read, read, read.

You doctor won't get you well.

Only you will.

I have been dealing with lots of hair loss too. On this T3 only, will that get

better? and if

so how long would that take for it to at least stop coming out?
