Re: when my hair loss will stop?

June 14, 2011

,

I too battled acne all my life (I'm 44, perimenopausal) and believed it had to do with being estrogen-dominant. I added Vitex (chasteberry) to my supplements in March and my skin has cleared completely, (along with many other long-dreamed of benefits, which are off-topic, and will not be discussed here ;-). I did have a resurgence of skin trouble after 3 weeks on iodine, which was cleared by salt pushing. Feeling great now and enjoying clear skin.

Thanks ann...I have been taking vitex..not tons maybe not consistent enough?

Havent noticed any change. But I just got sex hormone test and waiting results.

the only result I got back so far was estrone...on the low end. My doc thinks

Progesterone can cause probs.I will up my vitex though as i wait these results!

I do the celtic sea salt...but Too much gives me stiff limbs

I didn't test my selenium levels before starting the protocole, beacause I've

been told the protocole include 200mcg of selenium...

How should I know how to dose my selenium in the future?

Do you test your selenium levels time to time?

my hair loss started too, even worse when I was hypo. My ferritin is pretty good

and my T3 too. I read that iodine cause hair loss and I wonder when my hair will

stop falling...how many months since starting it..

I'm not sure if this would help your skin/hair, but my doc put me on 5000 mcg of biotin a day to help with hair loss. However another side effect of the biotin was that my skin is literally glowing! I have suffered with rosacea for years, and right now I have no breakouts at all and it has only been a month. I have not been able to tell if my hair loss is better yet, but that takes a bit longer. FYI I am 45 yrs old. Good luck

BTW the doc said I could take up to 10000 mcg of biotin a day without harm, but I stuck with 5000 mcg (1 pill) and it has done the job. She also told me that some people get a fungal growth on the scalp which causes the hair to fall out. I am going to a dermatologist to see if that is the case with me. My doc has severe hair loss herself so she has done a lot of research on her own, beyond the typical physician.
