Aluminum and Hair Loss

what do you think of this one doc, aluminum (as found in deodorants, etc) as the cause of toxicity hair loss?

important distinction, will bacterial infections and other things that cause hair loss cause miniaturization, or is that only hormones that will cause miniaturization?!?!

There are know elements that can cause hair loss when one is exposed to them in high concentrations. These include:

• lead
• cadmium
• mercury
• iron
• aluminum
• copper
• manganese
• chromium
• arsenic
• titanium

From a practical point of view, I have never seen/recognized these in my practice, so all I can reference is what I read. When there is hair loss in a male, think of a genetic cause first as it is most probable. Anything that causes stress in such men (infections, for example) can precipitate the hair loss process. The presence of any of these substances (like aluminum) will most probably not be absorbed in any concentration to produce hair loss.
