Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Posted October 21, 2006 Yes, not only can mold exposure cause hair to fall out but you also may have noticed it changes the texture of hair. Women may notice this more than men since they tend to blow dry and style hair more. The hair loss eventually lessons when out of the moldy environment but can take a while. As with all of this, any residual symptoms vary from individual to individual. I agree it is best to remain cautious when there is ongoing litigation. Feel free to e-mail me off list.

Has anyone else had this symptom? I am trying to figure out if this is one of my many mold related problems, or if it is unrelated. If it has been a problem for other people what advice do you have to fix it? How long does it take to get better? One day, when I am done with my lawsuit, I will identify myself and tell my story to the group (and if my brain function returns). I too have heard that defense lawyers prowl this site. Quote
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Toxins suppress production of your hormones and your hormones affect your hair, so in that way. I am sure I have heard of this symptoms before also. --- moldcankill <moldcankill@...> wrote: > I am having a horrible problem with my hair > falling out. Has anyone > else had this symptom?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Actually, thats not true. I THINK (not know) that its perhaps more like chemotherapy toxins (in fact, I am pretty sure that some mycotoxins have been used in chemotherapy to kill (rapidly-dividing) cancer cells..) in that some mold toxins prevent protein synthesis. (This would be most apparent in plaes where new cells growing is essential to your body's ongoing self-repair.. Joints, for example.. (experts, please fill in the blanks on this..if you read this) So heres what I get - This inhibition happens through 'apoptopsis' or programmed cell death.. or through oxidative stress.. (Its like accelerated aging...) Then they prevent the growth of new cells, like the cells that produce hair, that repair injuries, or that imprint new memories and new emotional knowledge.. (for example, there is a growing consensus that inhibition of nerve growth can cause depression) I think this is also how they cause cancer or birth defects - they damage DNA, which then can replicate the errors.. BTW, in men, at least, male pattern baldness is often caused by TOO MUCH testosterone.. BTW.. specifically a hormone called dyhydrotestosterone..

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Sounds reasonable but doesn't Dr Shoe say that toxins inhibit androgens in particular? I know my DHEA-S is almost none existent, so I was surmising that hormones may play a role in hair loss. Anyway, important thing is yes, it is a symptom... <http://www.moldwarriors.com/glossary.cfm> --- LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: > Actually, thats not true.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 If androgens were responsible for hair growth exclusively, only men would have hair..what I meant is that SOME mycotoxins kill fast growing cells, like hair, LIKE CHEMOTHERAPY DRUGS DO... for the same reasons..

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 -my hair fell out orein the firsthouse but in the second house it came out really heavy and my grandson got several bald circles. now, several years later it is getting thicker again and for some reason seems to be growing much faster.in the second house it was falling out by the hand fulls.it got really thin. so I'd have to say the worse the exposure the worse it will fall out. or the more it disrups your hormones.-- In , bbw <barb1283@...> wrote: > > Toxins suppress production of your hormones and > your hormones affect your hair, so in that way. > I am sure I have heard of this symptoms before > also. > > --- moldcankill <moldcankill@...> wrote: > > > I am having a horrible problem with my hair > > falling out.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Androgens are produced by the ovaries and the adrenal glands in women, as well as the testes in men.
