Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Mona, Your hair loss might be due to endocrine system imbalances, brought on by the metals on your glands. I've had hair loss for years now. Take a good look at your endocrine system--hormonal imbalance is the typical cause of hair loss.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi, I would agree with what others have said, that one strong possibility is thyroid. I too had major hair loss after I took ALA (not realising it chelated). I subsequently developed a worsening of all my thyroid and adrenal problems. I'm also low in iron and on no endocrine support. The hair loss stopped dead when I started on thyroid and adrenal glandulars (even though I was still low in iron) and even before I started taking Armour thyroid. I think it's more of a thyroid problem. Depending on your situation, you could consider taking iodine, or glandulars, herbs or steroids.
