Re: Re: ! Hair loss

[Guest guest]

,

I forgot to ask you about the silica tablets you are taking to stop the hair

loss.

Was wondering what brand of silica and how many mgs your taking? You said

15 pellets under the tongue, once a day? twice? morning or night?

Do they have to be homeopathic? Or can it be any form of silica?

Thanks for the info...it's the most encouraging info I've received in 9 Mo.

Thanks...Marie
