Hair Loss

[Guest guest]

I appreciate hearing about people's experience with Synthroid.   My husband had his thyroid removed and though he is within normal range he's  off enough that the doctor wants to tweak the numbers from 150mcg to 175mcg.  I'm urging him to ask his doctor about Armour (sounds like a ad!).  He definitely related to the word "brittle" has helped nudge him in the right direction.  Now I'm wondering if he should be on Iodoral and how much he should take.  Thanks that was really helpful.  Robin  On Nov 6, 2008, at 9:40 PM, vanderlady00 wrote:My hair has has grown in much fuller since being on Iodoral and Armour.

My husband faxed his endo asking about Armour.  His doctor said he did not think changing from Synthroid to Armour would have any effect on his thinning hair and it would be more difficult to regulate.  So he is going to check his levels one more time and adjust accordingly.  My husband doesn't seem inclined to push the issue.  I looked at naturalthyroid choices and I guess I'll have to read up on why Armour is better than Synthroid.      On Nov 7, 2008, at 10:09 AM, Robin wrote:I appreciate hearing about people's experience with Synthroid.   My husband had his thyroid removed and though he is within normal range he's  off enough that the doctor wants to tweak the numbers from 150mcg to 175mcg.  I'm urging him to ask his doctor about Armour (sounds like a ad!).  He definitely related to the word "brittle" has helped nudge him in the right direction.  Now I'm wondering if he should be on Iodoral and how much he should take.  Thanks that was really helpful.  Robin  On Nov 6, 2008, at 9:40 PM, vanderlady00 wrote:My hair has has grown in much fuller since being on Iodoral and Armour.

Another poster claimed that iodine helped with hair growth. This is

quite believable because the lack of iodine can lead to

hypothyroidism, which is associated with hair loss.

Since my wife started taking 48mg/day of potassium iodide (and I

take 14mg/day of it), we have noticed some new hairs starting to

come in. They are most noticeable in the upper forehead area. We are

also putting baking soda in our hair. This is remarkable because

although my wife had hypothyroidism, I never had it, yet I am also

getting my hair back. My wife loves it because her hair is naturally

becoming a lighter shade of blonde. My mostly gray hair is also

lighter, and I suspect it is the baking soda doing it. My wife's

hair is also shiny - something I don't even recall seeing before,

ever. She is 54 and I am 58.

That's interesting!  How are you putting the baking soda in your hair?  Dry or diluted and how much?  Where can I learn more about the uses for baking soda?On Nov 8, 2008, at 9:18 AM, yburkett wrote:Another poster claimed that iodine helped with hair growth.

HI Robin,

Firstly, I spray my scalp with a 10ppm solution of colloidal silver,

and then I put about 1/2 teaspoon on the top of my head and work it

around the scalp. I do not wash it out. My wife does the same, but

does not use the silver solution. There is an avid researcher of

iodine, magnesium, and now baking soda on the site www.imva.org.

Here is a sample of his newsletter:

NOTE: Iodine is also mentioned below!

Dear IMVA,

I am very happy to announce the publication of the Sodium

Bicarbonate - Rich Man's Poor Man's Cancer Treatment book. Below is

the first chapter and you can go to the www.winningcancer.com site

to download and purchase this very important book of 275 pages. It

is the first medical review of the subject and goes deeply into

bicarbonate physiology and reviews its use for many health

conditions. The information in this book is absolutely essential for

all of us. It also, as you will see below, is a bomb that is going

to explode with force in the halls of modern oncology. I would not

want to be an oncologist knowing what is exposed below.

Tomorrow morning at 9 eastern standard time I will be on the

Radio talking about magnesium and the launch of this book. Check

http://www.thepowerhour.com/schedule.htm for information on how to

tune in.

I am asking my entire loyal readership to help me get this

information out into the world. Please feel free to post the below

on your sites with links back to the Winning Cancer site, send to

friends and get in touch with me if you would like a site license so

you can give it out or sell to your patients etc. This book and it's

information is a clear strike against pharmaceutical madness and

just about everyone of us who is living through this age of

increasing toxicity can and will benefit from the use of one of the

lowest cost medicines in existence.

Contemporary oncology is incapable of giving us the answers and

the necessary therapy for cancer patients. Thus it is our moral and

ethical obligation to try to find the best solutions for the gravest

and most painful disease of our time without them. This book is

going to come as a shock to many doctors and people. Without a doubt

the ideas inside will be resisted, but in the end resistance is

useless. When it comes to sodium bicarbonate in medicine it is an

open and shut case. It is already in wide use and has been for

decades.

In relation to bicarbonate, millions of people in the world

either consume bicarbonate ions in drinking water or have been

treated clinically with bicarbonate in hospitals, medical centers,

or emergency units for the prevention and treatment of clinical

acidosis as well as numerous other conditions. Sodium bicarbonate

helps to save countless lives every day. It is also found in the

corridors of orthodox oncology where it is used to keep the toxic

chemotherapy agents from killing people too quickly.

Sodium bicarbonate is the time honored method to 'speed up' the

return of the body's bicarbonate levels to normal. Bicarbonate is

inorganic, very alkaline and like other mineral type substances

supports an extensive list of biological functions. Sodium

bicarbonate happens to be one of our most useful medicines because

bicarbonate physiology is fundamental to life and health. So helpful

and elementary it's even instrumental in helping sperm swim up and

enter the cervical canal. Like magnesium chloride administration

possibilities are versatile: intravenous, oral, transdermal, via

catheter; it can be vaporized directly into the lungs and be used in

enemas and douches.

This book is about the application of the least expensive,

safest and perhaps most effective cancer medicine there is. In this

very first chapter enough information is presented to convince

doctors and patients alike to take or prescribe water with dissolved

sodium bicarbonate. By the time one finishes this book it is my

belief that most cancer patients will need no more convincing. No

more than a thirsty person needs convincing to swallow down water

when coming out of the dry desert.

Sodium bicarbonate cancer treatment focuses on delivering

natural chemotherapy in a way that effectively kills cancer cells

while dramatically reducing the brutal side effects and costs

experienced with standard chemotherapy treatments. The costs, which

are a factor for the majority of people of this particular

treatment, are basically zilch. That's the only problem with this

treatment - it is too cheap. No one is going to make money from it

so no one will promote it. Those that do will be persecuted for it.

The trouble with doing new studies on bicarbonate is that they are

expensive and no drug company is going to fund a study when they

can't profit from the treatment.

For one pound of sodium bicarbonate from one of the best

sources (guaranteed aluminum free) is $2.61 plus shipping. At the

supermarket you can get it even cheaper. For $2.61 or less one has a

nothing-to-lose-everything-to-gain-cancer-treatment. None of us

dreamed that sodium bicarbonate is already part of orthodox oncology

and is included in many chemotherapy protocols to protect the

patient's kidneys, hearts and nervous systems. Now we find out on

top of everything else that bicarbonate is also a world class anti-

fungicide and could be responsible for the few cures allopathic

oncology manages to come up with.

You will also be given lots of fluids (as a drip) and a drug called

mesna with your cyclophosphamide to help prevent bladder irritation.

Sodium bicarbonate will be given to you – usually as a drip – before

and during your methotrexate treatment, to help protect your kidneys.

[ii]

This book puts oncologists in a very compromising situation.

They are using extremely dangerous poisons and bicarbonate at the

same time claiming it is the poisons that are helping when this book

is more than suggesting it is the bicarbonate that is doing the

heavy work. Worse for them, there are no studies separating the

effects of bicarbonate from the toxic chemotherapy agents nor will

there ever be. Administration of some forms of chemotherapy without

bicarbonate would probably kill patients on the spot.

Most thought it was pretty strange when Dr. Tullio Simoncini

showed up on our medical radars. He is the oncologist from Rome who

pointed to using bicarbonate as a main line cancer treatment and he

was persecuted for it. Yet he has stood firm and continues to travel

the world teaching doctors about the anti-cancer properties of

sodium bicarbonate.

Sodium bicarbonate is one of the oldest workhorse medicines. So

solid is bicarbonate's position in orthodox oncology it would

probably be considered malpractice to apply most forms of

chemotherapy without it. It is commonly used prior to, during, and

after application of chemotherapy.[iii] Some studies actually have

already shown how manipulation of tumor pH with sodium bicarbonate

enhances chemotherapy[iv] again pointing to the possibility that

bicarbonate is the main chemo agent saving people from their

cancers.

Since the very beginning sodium bicarbonate has been used with

the premier chemotherapy agent made from mustard gas.

Mechlorethamine also known as chlormethine, mustine, nitrogen

mustard and HN2 and sold under the brand name Mustargen was the

prototype anticancer chemotherapeutic drug. Use of mechlorethamine

gave birth to the field of anticancer chemotherapy. Without baking

soda orthodox oncology would never have been able to establish

itself for all their patients would probably have died.

These chemo drugs are an analogue of mustard gas and were

derived from chemical warfare research. Instructions for its use

include: Dilute well with rapidly running IVF flush solution. After

infusion is complete, give brisk bolus approx. 200 cc IVF to flush

veins. The basic substances used in IVF flushes are sodium

thiosulfate[v] and sodium bicarbonate. Without the bicarbonate and

thiosulfate buffers patients would quickly succumb to the chemo

poisons. It's a picture right out of hell using mustard gas instead

of something vastly safer.

Sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, and calcium

chloride are used to maintain pH and electrolytes

within normal values in intensive care units.

We are talking about serious medicine when we talk about sodium

bicarbonate. Earlier and more frequent use of sodium bicarbonate is

associated with higher early resuscitability rates and with better

long-term neurological outcomes in emergency units. Sodium

bicarbonate is beneficial during CPR.[vi] We are also talking about

an exceptionally safe medicine when we talk about bicarbonate.

Chemotherapy drugs and corticoids reduce the bone marrow production

of cells. In addition, these drugs damage the integrity of the skin

tegument, and of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts,

facilitating the penetration of microorganisms into the host.

Bicarbonate does none of this.

Sodium bicarbonate lessens the development of polycystic kidney

disease in rats. Chronic administration of 200 mM sodium bicarbonate

to rats inhibited cystic enlargement and prevented the subsequent

development of interstitial inflammation, chronic fibrosis, and

uremia.[vii]

On the other hand cancer treatments, including the most

commonly used chemotherapy agents as well as the newest biologic and

targeted therapy drugs, can harm a patient's heart - sometimes

fatally. Cardiologists at The University of Texas found in their

review of 29 anticancer agents that there is no class of cancer drug

that is free of potential damage to the heart. It is the organ that

seems to be most sensitive to toxic effects of anticancer agents.

Even the newest targeted therapies, designed to attack only cancer

cells, can cause cardiotoxicity.[viii]

Bicarbonate ions and water are two of

the most natural compounds on Earth.

We do not have to fear bicarbonate intake. And in fact, people

who live in areas of the world with high amounts of bicarbonate in

their drinking waters have a striking decreased mortality rate and a

decreased prevalence of disease. Sodium bicarbonate, though often

used as a medicine, is unlike pharmaceutical compounds. It is a

natural non-toxic substance that does not require clinical trials

for an assessment of toxicity. Spring waters contain bicarbonate

ions which are coupled mainly with sodium, potassium, calcium or

magnesium ions. A deficiency of bicarbonate ions in the body

contributes to a range of diseases and medical conditions.

Sodium bicarbonate acts as a powerful, natural and safe

antifungal agent,[ix] which when combined with iodine, would

probably cover the entire spectrum of microbial organisms. The

efficacy of sodium bicarbonate against certain bacteria and fungi[x]

has been documented. Its role as a disinfectant against viruses,

however, is not generally known. Sodium bicarbonate at

concentrations of 5% and above was found to be effective with 99.99%

reduction viral titers on food contact surfaces within a contact

time of 1 min.[xi] Throughout this book we will see reports of

doctors using bicarbonate to defeat fungal infections.[xii] But it

was not until Dr. Simoncini came along though that the concept arose

that what these doctors where unknowingly doing was cutting down the

fungal fields of cancer.

Not only is it good for diaper rash it can also kick the teeth

out of just about any cancer given a chance.

This logo of the Arm & Hammer baking soda is not a joke. Sodium

Bicarbonate is just as advertised, it comes into any job you use it

for just like a muscleman wielding a hardened mallet. It's good that

it is strong! This book is telling you to take him into your own

home and use him to kick butt on your cancer.

Bicarbonate is a truly strong universal concentrated

nutritional medicine that works effectively in many clinical

situations that we would not normally think of. For instance: The

treatment of Interstitial Cystitis and Painful Bladder Syndrome

depends on " rescue " instillations (or cocktails) of customized

solutions that can be placed in the bladder and immediately help

reduce pain and discomfort. If the anesthetic is alkalinized with a

precise amount of sodium bicarbonate, it dramatically improves its

ability to pass through the mucous to reach and soothe the irritated

nerves and tissues beneath.[xiii]

In reality we need a more descriptive image for bicarbonate.

Its pharmacological characteristics, even though widely used, are

not well understood. What does bicarbonate really do? Well, instead

of a muscleman with a mallet, an even better image would be a strong

janitor mopping up the messes and carrying the poisons away. This

strong janitor protects tissues and leaves an alkaline film or trail

behind to make sure everything stays safe. In medicine, sodium

bicarbonate is the cleaning and security man proven loyal through

decades of faithful service.

Sodium bicarbonate is the last medicine

in the world one needs to be afraid of.

Understand that this is perfectly legal. Just don't tell your

doctor about it until after your cancer is gone. Better yet, tell

him you have carefully studied chemo pharmacology and have decided

that the most effective element in most protocols for cancer is the

bicarbonate. Tell him that you have been doing it at home without

his permission or authority while exercising your legal right to eat

anything and everything sold in the supermarket for oral

consumption. That's right! You can just go to the supermarket and

follow, in part, the instructions that are right on the box for

maximum oral doses. Sodium bicarbonate is only classified as a

medicine if it is in injectable form. Otherwise it is a legal food

item found in every supermarket useful for literally hundreds of

applications. It is so useful, effective and safe that it will even

help rid us of our cancers.

We can all be thankful that oncologists have been using

bicarbonate. They have established it as a consistent part of their

cancer treatment protocol. The embarrassment to them is that they

did not know nor want to know about the real significance of

bicarbonate. They do not understand their dependency on it and what

it is really doing to their cancer patients. It is like they had a

chemical genius chained and enslaved in the basement. Meanwhile

upstairs, while sitting at their desks, they pretend bicarbonate is

nothing more interesting than a saline solution or water. They end

up giving all the credit to their poisonous treatments while hiding

as much as possible the terrible toxicity and life threatening side

effects.

The National Cancer Institute recommends that sodium bicarbonate for

treatment of Oral mucositis, which is an inflammation of oral

mucosa resulting from chemotherapeutic agents or ionizing radiation.

[xiv]

There are no promises or guarantees about being cured just as

there are no guarantees you will be alive tomorrow. There are other

factors beside biochemical ones that have a great deal of leverage

over our health and our fate. One needs a will to live plus an

openness that includes the ability to listen for ways to find the

most appropriate form of cancer treatment. Sodium bicarbonate is as

safe as chicken soup and probably more effective than any other

single element in any cancer protocol and it can be taken simply

through oral administration making it a treatment for the masses as

well as the elite who only want the best.

There are other basic substances like iodine, magnesium

chloride and even THC (medical marijuana in oral form) which run

neck and neck with bicarbonate's ability to confront cancerous

tissues. And there are other substances that should be used also to

heighten effectiveness of treatment. There are many natural

medicinals that are of proven help to cancer patients. THC, if

legal, would cost little more than bicarbonate because it's a weed

you can grow in your own backyard. A month of heavy duty magnesium

chloride treatments would not reach much above fifty dollars.

One also has to pay attention to the causes of cancer. One

major cause is the high levels of mercury that come from dental

amalgam and other sources like yearly flu vaccination shots, which

mostly have mercury in them. God forbid you live anywhere downwind

of a coal fired power station, a crematorium or even a municipal

incinerator all of which put massive amounts of mercury into the air

and nearby environments. Chelation of mercury is an absolute

necessity and it is best to find the most natural ways of doing

that. But when all is said and done nothing is easier then to pull

down a box of Arm and Hammer off the shelves and start taking it

orally to defeat your cancer. Nothing could be simpler.

Taking bicarbonate does not prevent one from

entertaining a full and complete cancer protocol.

There are many life saving cancer-busting substances like

bicarbonate that are easily obtainable. One has to be crazy not to

take more than several of them at the same time one is using the

bicarbonate. There is no reason to take chances or play Russian

Rolette with one's cancer or life. It is certain that sodium

bicarbonate is a cancer treatment because it is used by oncologists

and other personnel associated with the treatment of cancer victims.

But, as in anything, there are limits to the bicarbonate's power. It

will not, for instance, overcome ones' magnesium, iodine and

selenium deficiencies. A person still needs plenty of clean water

and sun (vitamin D3). (See my 900 page book Winning the War on

Cancer for a discussion of some of the issues including the Rising

Tide of Mercury story and natural chelation methods. This work will

also be presented in my upcoming book Natural Allopathic Medicine)

One of the most important things about magnesium

chloride, iodine and bicarbonate is that they

are not on Codex's list of controllable items.

Through all these years and multi-billion dollar cancer

research projects we find out that it was probably the bicarbonate

that has been saving cancer patients' lives. Certainly it saves some

of the patients from oncology's madness in choosing deadly poisons.

The choice of the word madness here is quite literally for several

studies have shown chemotherapy drugs to do damage to the brain. It

is going to come as a great embarrassment to oncologists to learn

that the most basic substance in their chemo protocol – sodium

bicarbonate – is not only the safest but the most effective item in

their hands. It certainly will not give the patient " chemo brain, "

which can include suffering impaired concentration, memory loss, and

even vision problems, dementia or seizures.

The efficacy of sodium bicarbonate against certain bacteria and fungi[x] has been documented. Its role as a disinfectant against viruses, however, is not generally known. Sodium bicarbonate at concentrations of 5% and above was found to be effective with 99.99% reduction viral titers on food contact surfaces within a contact time of 1 min.[xi] Throughout this book we will see reports of doctors using bicarbonate to defeat fungal infections.[xii] But it was not until Dr. Simoncini came along though that the concept arose that what these doctors where unknowingly doing was cutting down the fungal fields of cancer. Not only is it good for diaper rash it can also kick the teeth out of just about any cancer given a chance.This logo of the Arm & Hammer baking soda is not a joke. Sodium Bicarbonate is just as advertised, it comes into any job you use it for just like a muscleman wielding a hardened mallet. It's good that it is strong! This book is telling you to take him into your own home and use him to kick butt on your cancer. Bicarbonate is a truly strong universal concentrated nutritional medicine that works effectively in many clinical situations that we would not normally think of. For instance: The treatment of Interstitial Cystitis and Painful Bladder Syndrome depends on "rescue" instillations (or cocktails) of customized solutions that can be placed in the bladder and immediately help reduce pain and discomfort. If the anesthetic is alkalinized with a precise amount of sodium bicarbonate, it dramatically improves its ability to pass through the mucous to reach and soothe the irritated nerves and tissues beneath.[xiii]In reality we need a more descriptive image for bicarbonate. Its pharmacological characteristics, even though widely used, are not well understood. What does bicarbonate really do? Well, instead of a muscleman with a mallet, an even better image would be a strong janitor mopping up the messes and carrying the poisons away. This strong janitor protects tissues and leaves an alkaline film or trail behind to make sure everything stays safe. In medicine, sodium bicarbonate is the cleaning and security man proven loyal through decades of faithful service. Sodium bicarbonate is the last medicinein the world one needs to be afraid of.Understand that this is perfectly legal. Just don't tell your doctor about it until after your cancer is gone. Better yet, tell him you have carefully studied chemo pharmacology and have decided that the most effective element in most protocols for cancer is the bicarbonate. Tell him that you have been doing it at home without his permission or authority while exercising your legal right to eat anything and everything sold in the supermarket for oral consumption. That's right! You can just go to the supermarket and follow, in part, the instructions that are right on the box for maximum oral doses. Sodium bicarbonate is only classified as a medicine if it is in injectable form. Otherwise it is a legal food item found in every supermarket useful for literally hundreds of applications. It is so useful, effective and safe that it will even help rid us of our cancers.We can all be thankful that oncologists have been using bicarbonate. They have established it as a consistent part of their cancer treatment protocol. The embarrassment to them is that they did not know nor want to know about the real significance of bicarbonate. They do not understand their dependency on it and what it is really doing to their cancer patients. It is like they had a chemical genius chained and enslaved in the basement. Meanwhile upstairs, while sitting at their desks, they pretend bicarbonate is nothing more interesting than a saline solution or water. They end up giving all the credit to their poisonous treatments while hiding as much as possible the terrible toxicity and life threatening side effects. The National Cancer Institute recommends that sodium bicarbonate fortreatment of Oral mucositis, which is an inflammation of oralmucosa resulting from chemotherapeutic agents or ionizing radiation.[xiv]There are no promises or guarantees about being cured just as there are no guarantees you will be alive tomorrow. There are other factors beside biochemical ones that have a great deal of leverage over our health and our fate. One needs a will to live plus an openness that includes the ability to listen for ways to find the most appropriate form of cancer treatment. Sodium bicarbonate is as safe as chicken soup and probably more effective than any other single element in any cancer protocol and it can be taken simply through oral administration making it a treatment for the masses as well as the elite who only want the best. There are other basic substances like iodine, magnesium chloride and even THC (medical marijuana in oral form) which run neck and neck with bicarbonate's ability to confront cancerous tissues. And there are other substances that should be used also to heighten effectiveness of treatment. There are many natural medicinals that are of proven help to cancer patients. THC, if legal, would cost little more than bicarbonate because it's a weed you can grow in your own backyard. A month of heavy duty magnesium chloride treatments would not reach much above fifty dollars. One also has to pay attention to the causes of cancer. One major cause is the high levels of mercury that come from dental amalgam and other sources like yearly flu vaccination shots, which mostly have mercury in them. God forbid you live anywhere downwind of a coal fired power station, a crematorium or even a municipal incinerator all of which put massive amounts of mercury into the air and nearby environments. Chelation of mercury is an absolute necessity and it is best to find the most natural ways of doing that. But when all is said and done nothing is easier then to pull down a box of Arm and Hammer off the shelves and start taking it orally to defeat your cancer. Nothing could be simpler. Taking bicarbonate does not prevent one from entertaining a full and complete cancer protocol.There are many life saving cancer-busting substances like bicarbonate that are easily obtainable. One has to be crazy not to take more than several of them at the same time one is using the bicarbonate. There is no reason to take chances or play Russian Rolette with one's cancer or life. It is certain that sodium bicarbonate is a cancer treatment because it is used by oncologists and other personnel associated with the treatment of cancer victims. But, as in anything, there are limits to the bicarbonate's power. It will not, for instance, overcome ones' magnesium, iodine and selenium deficiencies. A person still needs plenty of clean water and sun (vitamin D3). (See my 900 page book Winning the War on Cancer for a discussion of some of the issues including the Rising Tide of Mercury story and natural chelation methods. This work will also be presented in my upcoming book Natural Allopathic Medicine) One of the most important things about magnesium chloride, iodine and bicarbonate is that theyare not on Codex's list of controllable items.Through all these years and multi-billion dollar cancer research projects we find out that it was probably the bicarbonate that has been saving cancer patients' lives. Certainly it saves some of the patients from oncology's madness in choosing deadly poisons. The choice of the word madness here is quite literally for several studies have shown chemotherapy drugs to do damage to the brain. It is going to come as a great embarrassment to oncologists to learn that the most basic substance in their chemo protocol – sodium bicarbonate – is not only the safest but the most effective item in their hands. It certainly will not give the patient "chemo brain," which can include suffering impaired concentration, memory loss, and even vision problems, dementia or seizures.Mark Sircus Ac., OMDDirector International Medical Veritas Association http://www.winningcancer.com/--- In iodine , Robin <rak54@...> wrote:>> That's interesting!

Hair loss can be hormonal - like after having a baby but it can also be

caused by vitamin deficiencies. If you are losing your hair, go to the

doctor and ask to have your vitamin levels checked. After losing about

45 lbs my hair started falling out. It turns out I was very low on

Vitamin D, B-12 and iron. I'm not sure which is related to hair loss

but after starting to take supplements, on top of my daily vitamin, my

hair is growing back.

It's worth having vitamin levels checked to give yourself a baseline as

well to make sure you are getting enough of what you need in the foods

you are eating.

Hi Everyone,I find it amazing that Hair Loss has had so much attention. Honestly I have enjoyed everyone's opinions and knowledge. It seems that some people always feel the need to set the world right. I value Bipley's opinion and all of her support that she has given everyone including myself. On the other hand, I have also received a great deal of support from so many of you on this site--thanks so much for it when I needed it. Now Bipley said it didn't matter what you did, it wouldn't stop the hair loss. So does that mean I have to believe it? It means that with her knowledge that is what she feels is right, while Jen feels with her knowledge what she say's is also right. So as an educated person I will form my own opinion on what is right for ME. They always say get more than one opinion when seeing a doctor if you want. It seems like many people on this site are threatned by smart

educated people. Not me--I love what everyone has to say and I take it all in and form my own opinion and use it to better myself. I think we have all learned a great deal about our sleeve or band from this site Yeah! This has been a great site for education, support and very caring people. I see great success in many people here and that is very helpful too all of. We will continue to keep posting asking questions and dropping those pounds! Have a great day,Suzanne

Hi

There is an article in this weeks Hello, which I read whilst in the hair

dressers (ironic), about hair loss in women. There were five main reasons

listed.

Poor diet

Illness

Medication

Unknown

Alopicia

The drugs given as an example of causing hair loss by medication - thyroid

drugs.

My hair before diagnosis of hypothyroidism was v thick and v shinny. 6 weeks

after taking levo, hair was falling out and went the texture of straw.

Seems it is something that some of us just have to put up with and find a way of

coping.

Thanks

[Guest guest]

Hi Jill,

I repeat what I have read on forums about hair loss, other than the synthetic

thyroid meds causing it, is that once people get on armour they have found

that the older 'weaker' hair falls away, making room for stronger hair growing

in its place - you may be able to see little whisps of very short hair regrowing

?????

Also each time people went up in dose, hair fell out and after a while new

stronger hair grew to take its place. I dont know if this applies to you.

Many cut their hair very short so as not to put extra weight on their hair.

Because hair tends to grow slowly it seems like a very long time in between -

if you can see any short regrowth happening around your hair line, I do hope

that will be an encouragement that it is a temporary situation.

Yes,

I have noticed better texture to my hair and around the temples where the hair was noticably thinning and coarser in texture, has been coming back, and a little smoother. Still not as ful as before, but it is a gradual thing. I also take Thyrotrophin PMG by Standard Process for my thyroid. It takes like 6 + months but it is helpful as well.

Hi ,

I occasionally repeat some or all of this to maintain currency.

It goes back many years, when the advice was bizarre if not down right wrong

about mineral needs.

On one occasion I heard magnesium described as toxic and had to correct that

statement as being utterly wrong.

Keeping an eye on the minerals doesn't mean that the doctor will be looking at

the same numbers with the same professional eye that I use.

My light-bulb moment was seeing the magnesium sulphate spilled from a drip-bag

on the floor of the cardiac ICU ~ it crystallised with the wrong shape crystals

for it to be 'just' salt (sodium chloride), so I made enquiries.

Eye-opener, I'll say.

Treating for low potassium and then not giving magnesium is a potential killer.

As it was, they decided to give my DW a cardiac defibrillator, having induced

long Q-T gap from the low magnesium ( missed due to the consultant being on

holiday ~ autumn).

They (senior registrars) have to learn 'on-the-job' and some patients get the

worst treatment (belated or be-knighted).

As she 'just' needed cardiac defibrillation on the 12-hourly cycle associated

with the thyroid storm ~ it only lasted about a week.

Some might say she was lucky; the hospital staff got a real live patient to

observe ~ undergoing a thyroid storm ~ followed some year or so later by a paper

describing the same effect in rats.

From the sequence of events, I deduce that DW was the 'index case' that

triggered this investigation.

Keep/copy these notes safely.

Do you use low sodium salt?

best wishes

Hi Jill,

Alopecia areata (A.A.) may indeed be due to low zinc.....

funny that zinc and magnesium can be inter-changed in many enzymes that use

what's called a divalent metal ion (connects to two other non-metals or groups)

~ as the 'activator' of the enzymes. Likewise, if you are short of both of these

elements, a bigger problem arises, more enzymes will be

down-regulated/under-active due to shortage of the appropriate activator metal.

In A.A, whether autoimmune and/or zinc dependent may be related to the cause of

the autoimmunity (silver/mercury amalgam trigger or low zinc associated with the

mercury toxicity or both).

Until some specific work is done to untangle the myriad interactions caused by

this 'safe' silver/mercury amalgam, no-one will be safe from auto-immune

diseases.

Those with a pre-disposition to autoimmune disease seem to be ignored for some

'odd' reason, that may, or may not, be related to how much or how little doctors

and dentists have been 'instructed' to deny.

If you are using low-salt as well as sea salt do you get enough magnesium and

zinc in any combination to help support hair growth?

If you are deficient in either of these two (Zn/Mg) elements, it might account

for some of the ensuing hair (and thyroid ) problems, since the factors that

cause robust hair growth, also affect the thyroid gland for similar reasons ~

and mitochondrial action is important in controlling day-to-day (and

hour-to-hour) thyroid responses to thermal variations in the experienced

environement.

Far more people have mitochondrial problems than was thought until very

recently, so many more indeed, that the medical profession will not have been

able to comprehend in a collective or individual manner just how serious is this

new finding.

The implications for medical practice, diagnosis and treatment will take many

decades to filter through the system, even avoiding the built-in prejudice

arising from pharmaceutical education induced by sales/marketing people in their

clearly productive visits to doctor's offices.

hmmmm, rethink on zinc ?

Low salt will contain added potassium chloride so maybe the magnesium is a

little more important using either low salt or sea salt (that should also

contain some magnesium, but check how much).

Low potassium will certainly make you feel lethargic as will low sodium, each of

them contribute to the cellular energy status, but the way it works is that, if

the apparent plasma potassium shows high that can be due to the potassium

leaving the inside of the cells and ending up in the intra-cellular

fluid/plasma, reversing the usual situation where potassium needs to be high

inside the cells whilst sodium is low inside the cells ~ that's the way the

'cell membrane potential' is maintained that drives all the chemical/biological

processes that fire up the energy production inside the mitochondria.

Each cell is like a little battery !

[Guest guest]

Off the top of my head (excuse the pun), hair loss can be triggered by pregnancy or any stressful event such as the rapid weight reduction that occurs on this diet. It peaks about 4 months after the event and you can lose up to 20% of your hair. The good news is that it's not permanent. One thing that might stop it is to use Burdock Root tea as a hair rinse. Supplements such as Thymus gland, two 500mg; Biotin, two 5000 mcg; MSM, two 1500mg, and L-Cysteine, two 500mg daily might help.

Most hair loss is a diet high in carbs. Not enough protein. Pregnancy does not

cause hair loss. After the pregnancy the hair falls out because it didn't while

Hi Cheryl...I think one of iodine's many benefits is balancing hormone levels. So perhaps that's why it helped with the regrowth. I have recently gone from 50 mg. to 62 mg and noticed more hair loss, so I've decided to pulse dose the 62.5 mg. With a history of BC, I want to get saturated ASAP, but not without hair!

I found the same website in my frantic researching about hair. Its great. I

haven't read that page of it but I will.

I did a lot of reasearch and I have started on some supplements: MSM with

glucosamine, Biotin, Sublingal B12 and horsetail. My hair loss has slowed down

don't know if it is the supps or changing to Cynomel from the NHS T3 (Mo - if

you are reading this yes, it is so much better!).

I also got some Rene Furterer hair care products recommended by my hairdresser -

I figured it couldn't hurt. She raved about them.

Its just started to fall a little bit in the last two days but I hope its just a

blip.

Also, I recently started taking diatomaceous earth which also causes you to

detox so I'm wondering if the hair loss is tied to detox symptoms (since it

seems to have gotten worse lately).

seems to be getting pretty bad and I'm hoping it's temporary. I've been on 50mg

since about mid March and then sporatically jumping up and then dropping back,

from 75mg.

I found hair loss to be an issue while I was on synthroid but it stopped when I

switched to NDT and iodoral. Could that be the missing link

hair loss

did anyone see an increase in hair loss on the higher doses of iodine? mine

seems to be getting pretty bad and I'm hoping it's temporary. I've been on 50mg

since about mid March and then sporatically jumping up and then dropping back,

from 75mg.

Thanks for any help.
