hair loss

[Guest guest]

Here are five things to avoid if you are losing your hair :

Alcohol

Caffeine

Sugar

Nicotine

A Diet high in Fat

Losing hair can be due to very subtle and complex things

like Hormonal balance, high levels of DHT in your system,

thyroid trouble, etc., but a good place to start is removing toxins in your

diet like in the above list. I would put sugar near the top

of the list. Sugar includes anything sweet, like soda pop,

desserts, candy, even overly sweet fruits like watermelon,

fruit juice with added fructose or corn syrup, etc. Anything

that tastes sweet. White flour products are not all that good

for you either, like white bread. Alcohol is just another form

of sugar. Sugar addiction can cause gastro-intestinal problems.

Does your strict anti-candida diet include inulin and inulin-containing

vegetables? Undenatured whey and selenium? If not, you should know that a lot

more can be accomplished and faster with them than without them, and since hair

loss results from toxin load and reactive oxygen species, which can be reduced

with these supplements, you should add them to your regime and keep using

selenium-based shampoo as well.

Further, a lot of anti-candida diets allow whole grain rice and such. Bad news

Some drugs yield hair loss as a main side effect; statin drugs to reduce

cholesterol for example.

Duncan - I limit dairy in my diet due to the estrogen content (fibroids are very

estrogen sensitive and I had them taken out. Don't want them growing back). I

would like to start taking whey protein isolate but am not sure if it contains

estrogen. Could you shine your light? Thanks.

I'm going to make a wild guess that you either work out a lot or tend to avoid

sugar naturally so had sorbitol in your diet? Maybe not but that is what

happened to me when I developed the intestinal part of this problem. I'm 34.

I was working out a great deal and I thought it would be healthy to avoid sugar

so I used sugar-free products that contained sorbitol. I've had your same

symptoms and I went from very healthy to very, very ill and I lost 2/3 of my

hair. But I'm getting better and I think I figured this out - at least

partially.

I'm not exactly sure how but here is what happens - your intestine has a thin

lining of L-Glutamine, that gets eroded possibly even 'digested' by yeast. You

start to react to a couple of foods then more and more and more until eating is

problematic because that lining is going away. With the lining goes your

ability to absorb what you need to get by.

The scary part is the white matter of your intestine is the same white matter in

your brain. I started having a lot of trouble with memory myself and brain fog.

So here is what is getting me well:

First - no sorbitol - crap should be illegal. They have a warning on the side

of products that contain it that it may cause some digestive side effects..well

that's what you're experiencing - a bit more then expected hu?

Second - if you want digestive relief for your intestinal tract - you won't

believe this. I didn't when I tried it but it actually works.

supplements: L-Glutamine, Acetyl Glucosamine, calcium, vitamin D. I take these

before I eat. Aloe is good to add to that too. I'm working at trying to figure

out when best to take them and amount. What I do know is if I don't take them

before I eat I go back to being sick again, although I'm SLOWLY getting healed.

Third - I take two very good multivitamins, half a dose of each per day (don't

want to over do it on vitamins or any supplements, I hate pills...) I take

Vitalert in the morning - which was a lot of good minerals including an

important one - Selenium. It also helps my energy.

Fourth - I take Futurebiotics Hair, Skin, Nails vitamin twice a day. Let me

tell you this really works. My hair has started growing back in and I even have

long full eyelashes.

Finally while my hair was getting scarily thinner and thinner - I went on

Amazon.com and bought hair extensions. They're real human hair and have a small

clip. They are VERY easy to clip in, look and feel real and there is no shame

in using them.

My final word --- If it doesn't work don't do it. If you're on a " special "

candida diet for three days and see no results it's probably rubbish. I went on

all kinds of diets and no results at all, but as soon as I took dose one of the

L-Glutamine I felt better and have been getting better since.

If you have yeast in your um' private areas here is a good soothing remedy.

1 ounce Aloe Vera Juice

1 drop peppermint oil

3 ounces of very cold water

Put into squirt bottle - use in the shower to clean inside and out with. It

soothes, eliminates the itch and kills yeast. I use refrigerated Miconazol a

couple of times a week and the rinse daily. Difulcan has never worked for me.

If you try the L-Glutamine treatment and it works or doesn't work for you or

anyone here - I would be interested in hearing about your experience.

Just wondering how much Biotin you were taking? I had much the same problems as

yourself & still have digestive/malabsorption issues (taking zillions of

supplements to keep my immune stystem 'up') but the one thing I have solved is

the extreme hair loss!

Try upping your dose consistently to say, 1200 - 1500 mcg 3 times a day with

food & see what happens in a few weeks. Maybe restart now with a lower dose &

build up to dose I suggest within one week. Good luck, I also earn my living in

the public eye so know how important 'hair' is!

Whey has been used to reduce cancer.

Fibroids have been reduced with fibrinolytic enzymes, especially as secretion of

the body's only fibrinolytic enzyme, plasmin, falls off with age. See my article

Wait... I have been taking 5mg once a day which is more than the 1500mcg three

The enzymes Serrapeptase and Nattokinase are effective at controlling fibroids

(see: http://www.biomediclabs.com/fibroids) along with many other conditions

(see http://www.serrapeptase.info/). Serrapeptase is one of the main

ingredients in Blockbuster AllClear.

No, I've never looked that whey up. The product listing is here:

<http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-16240716333798_2059_168594>

As you can see, the components and method I've detailed here at the bottom of my

whey page are present in the product, so it's a glutathione promoter, similar to

the two wheys I have listed:

http://tinyurl.com/whey-page

The listing does not however indicate beta-lactoglobulin content. This protein

is the most abundant glutathione precursor, so we can't tell from the label how

good the product is as a glutathione precursor. Seems OK though. Compare to this

data from the Now whey isolate I have on my page:

" Now Foods Whey Isolate supplies glutathione precursors without added

sweeteners, flavor or color, in a readily-assimilated form.

Ingredients:Serum Albumin: 1.3 - 1.8%; Alpha-lactalbumin: 6-11%;

Beta-lactoglobulin: 70-75%; GMP (Glyco-Macro peptides): 12-17%; Lactoferrin:

0.6%; immunoglobulin (IgG): 1.5-2.5% "

all good,

I was having hair loss for two years and recently started taking taurine--maybe

a month or so ago. The hair loss has nearly stopped and my hair is growing back.

Thanks to your comment I Googled taurine + hair loss and it is good for it, I

think that's why my hair loss is better. I take it twice a day, plus Travacor at

night and Excitaplus in the morning... I as put on all three of these to balance

my neurotransmitters.

You should see if maybe you have excess, or not enough, copper. Too much or too

little is another cause of hair loss. It rises to fight infections so you may be

too high in it. Then you have to take zinc... you should get them both tested

and mercury too as mercury can stop you from getting rid of candida.

can you tell me how much of these supplements you take

thanks

[Guest guest]

*Supplements Amount:*

(I'm not sure if this was directed at me -- but I think I forgot to list a

BIGGIE MUST have supplement I take - vitamin-D which for whatever reason

helps everything else work/absorb better.) I have spent loads of money

experimenting over two years and these are the winning supplements. Some

others worked and worked well but had side effects, many I couldn't tell

they did anything at all.

*Morning: (before eating)

*

2 Vitalert Multivitamin (The good part of these is the daily dose is 4

tablets - vitamins tend to make me um' constipated so I take only two of

these per day in the morning with whole wheat pancakes). These vitamins

really do enhance energy but not in a bad jittery or bad feeling way.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps & field-keywords=vital\

ert & x=0 & y=0

1 MSM (not sure about this one - trying it out) 500mg

1 L-Glutamine 500MG (this is the brand I take:

http://www.amazon.com/Source-Naturals-L-Glutamine-500mg-capsules/dp/B001G7R3UG/r\

ef=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8 & qid=1249436367 & sr=8-4

)

1 ounce aloe vera juice in acid free orange juice. (Citric Acid and me have

never gotten along). Also they have Aloe Vera Gel capsules you can take.

Stay away from the 'whole plant' sort of aloe pills.

1 humble vitamin-D pill from a generic variety I picked up at Wal-Mart,

widely available

1/2 of a calcium pill again generic variety from Wal-Mart

*Lunch prior to eating:*

1 L-Glutamine tablet

1 Futurebiotics Hair Skin Nails formula (love this one)

(I eat a very light lunch, otherwise 1 L-Glutamine isn't enough).

*

Supper/Dinner *

1 Futurebiotics Hair Skin Nails

1 L-Glutamine

1 NAGlucosamine

If I am feeling really bad or having a major upset, I sometimes take

L-Glutamine and even NAGlucosamine after eating a meal too. Along with Aloe

- this is a really good team. I ran out of my Aloe Vera Gel capsules but

they're a must have.

*Sometimes Pills...*

I have a 'B' combination that dissolves under my tongue - but I've never had

any benefit or could tell any difference from taking it. Different brands

do make a difference however I've found out.

I take BCAA Fuel from TwinLab on day I work out, right after working out.

Like L-Glutamine these are amino acids. I'm not entirely sure this helps.

It could be wishful thinking.

*Life Style *

I have lived a healthy life for awhile. It's really irritating to see

people smoking, eating french fries and being HEALTHY. Here i am thinking -

'can I have 4oz of Pepsi today?' -- while they are kicking back 16oz of

Mountain Dew. Grr' it's not fair!

I try and not have pop. I try to avoid extra sugar wherever possible. I

avoid trigger foods that from experience don't digest anymore (raspberry

jam, blackberries, tomatos, anything with lots of citric acid, anything with

whey...) and I'm slowly introducing foods I like again like apples

cautiously.

I work out again. I've finally gotten well enough to get back to the gym.

I am not sure what this is I have - I know yeast is involved - but I think

someday they will find out that it's caused by XYZ and give it a REAL name

and make it a REAL diagnosis (you know it's frustrating to hear, " oh you

JUST have yeast... " whenever this stuff can wreck your life...)

I'm 34, in decent shape and a career person but sometimes I feel a bit nuts

taking supplements all the time and watching everything I do and eat. I

would say, listen to your body. REST and give your body what it needs to

get better. Be cautious - try to work out what works for you. If a

supplement makes you sick - don't take it!

I'm getting better and I haven't had to swallow two cups of lard per day or

soak my private parts in vinegar - some of the bizzaro treatments that

promise results in as little as three months if you do horrible things to

yourself - don't.

I'm not sure that there is a 'super cure' out there for this. Maybe there

is - but whatever will kill yeast (and yeast can live in almost any

environment imaginable even on plastic and in toxic soup...they've even

brought it back to life after millions of years) well - if it kills all your

yeast, you probably won't survive -- but that's just my opinion.

Be well -- and lets keep exchanging information and doing grass roots

research!

Thanks for contacting me. I have been taking the Candida Cleanse (Candigone)

for one week. It consists of Uva Ursi, Garlic, Oregano, Pau D Arco, and more.

There are 2 parts: Pt1=capsules & Pt2=oil. I take 10 drops and 1 capsule in

the am and pm. My doctor gave me digestive support capsules to take which

consist of HCL, Pepsin, & Gentian Root. I am to take one after meals. I am

taking thyroid medication (Levothyroxine), Probiotics (24b-50b)/day, 5000 IU

vitamin D, a multi vitamin, adrenal formula capsules 2x/day, 4 DHA capsules/day,

digestive enzymes w/meals, 2T ground up flax seeds in am & pm. Have you ever

heard of such a bad case of Candida?

Thanks Vicky. I have read about Taurine and will try it. Aren't you seeing Dr.

Galland? So am I.... did he put you on Taurine? Are you supplementing things

beyond his suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm not sure if your question is directed at me or someone else, but if it's me,

I take one 500mg capsule of Taurine in the morning plus 1 capsule Excitaplus,

then at night, 2 hours before bed, I take another 500mg capsule of Taurine and 2

capsules of Travacor (Travacor has Taurine in it too and other ingredients).

Probably you could just take Taurine for the hair loss. 1000mg per day.

(Googling taurine + hair loss brings up info)

From research: " Inhibitory effect of sorbitol on sugar metabolism of

Streptococcus mutans in vitro and on acid production in dental plaque in vivo "

http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN & cpsidt=890669

" By the addition of sorbitol to sugar, however, the acid production [of

streptococci] was decreased with increasing levels of oxygen. ...Sorbitol also

inhibited the acid production in dental plaque in vivo. "

Maybe they followed this research to keep germs down in the mouth?

I too take 2,000 IU of D3 a day and have been for over a year. There again I was

taking it when I remembered, and if I think I haven't taken it now, I take it

just in case. I still have the bone pain knees down, but I am hoping it will get

better. I do think it helps sometimes. As far as the hair, mine was still

falling out on just the D3 and Saw P.. Randy

My OB/GYN just told me two days ago that many people have hair loss due to

vitamin D deficiency.. .and tht 95% of us are deficient in D. She recommends

taking D3 in 2000 IU per day! At least. Once I started the D, my long-bone

pain left also. My hair is finally getting thicker. I will also try the zinc

to ensure that helps...but I have heard too much zinc is not good.

" Does anyone have any tips for dealing with hair loss? I seem to have lost

about half my hair in the last six months. My doc said hair loss reflects

what your body was going through about three months prior and didn't seemed

hair even though my TSH is better now. Please advise, thank you! "

I don't know what you're taking, but a listed side effect of Levothyroxin is

hair loss. When I asked my doctor if there was something else I could take,

he said the only other medication he could prescribe is Synthoid, and it's

basically the same thing as Levothyroxin. I don't know if that's true or

not, but since my hair is still falling out eight months after diagnosis,

I'd like an answer too.

Thanks,

Levothyroxin is IIRC a generic of Synthroid, which is the name brand.

Both are T4. Some form of T4 is what is prescribed for the vast

majority of hypothyroid patients. Your thyroid gland makes T4 when it

is functioning properly; it also produces T3 but I suspect it breaks

some of the T4 down into T3. T4 is also broken down to T3 in other

parts of your body [liver?], as T3 is what your cells actually use.

Nearly everybody has either natural or artificial T4 in their bodies so

if it causes massive hair loss I don't see why we aren't all bald...

Luck,
