I would still detox, and don't be surprised if it takes a few months for

the hair to quit falling out and many more months to grow it back. But it

will grow back.

Marie! You're an inspiration for me...as the surgery date ticks

closer, I need to hear that the explant experience is easy. Please

keep posting, so I can be encouraged as well as others..Jackie

Marie, Lynda is right. You should still detox. The fact that your hair was falling out indicates that your immune system has taken a hit leaving you possibly susceptible to other problems. I am convinced that we all should make detoxing a part of our lives given all the toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis. Start slow and do what feels right. You won't be sorry. Love, Anita Re: free at last! I would still detox, and don't be surprised if it takes a few months for the hair to quit falling out and many more months to grow it back.
