My Hair Loss Reversed After Becoming a Vegetarian and Eating Healthier
Hello Dr. Rassman. I would like to suggest to most people concerned with hair loss that the problem is a matter of life style. It has taken many years of bad habits and poor diet to create this problem.
I had signs of overall hair loss since I was 23. I am now 33 and have been able to reverse this problem in a few months.
About 6 years ago I became a vegetarian (meaning no animal fats or animal protein except for fish). I also stopped eating processed foods, caffeinated drinks, all processed sugars, white flour, dairy and fried foods. That seemed to stabilize my problem. I had no new hair loss. I also would take high doses of supplements such as vitamin C, Saw Palmetto and about 15 others. But I think the key component to repairing and restoring my hair is phyto nutrients. When I flooded my body with DNA repairing chlorophyll my hair began to get thicker again.
I would eat about a 60% raw or lightly cooked foods and mostly organic to minimize impurities.I would also juice alot of my vegetable (cause you can not eat the amount of vegetables you can drink), wheat grass and fruit smoothies using rice milk. I would drink six 8oz. glasses of vegetable including chlorophyll powder supplements and two 8oz. smoothies with chlorophyll supplement powder also.
This has worked for me. I realize it is alot of work. But like I said earlier this is a life style modification protocol. Plus the side benefits are great, like weight loss, clear skin and an over all sense of well being.
Thanks for reading.
My positive change was due to life style modification. I don’t think any one thing I did was the silver bullet
It may be that there is some real good treatment buried in all of the things that you are doing. Reduction of stress has a lot to do with it and lifestyle modification is always good when stress goes down. There is no real good response to your statements, but worthy to publish nevertheless.
I agree. I did something very similar. I also had a horrible diet, super fatty foods, sweets, I would just cut carbs to loose weight and I drank about 4-5 beers a night. My skin did not look good, but for some reason I didn’t see a connection between diet and hairloss. Probably because you never here about it. After exhausting every known hair loss treatment with little success. I ran across some hair loss diet scam I found online somewhere. But after I read it, it seemed to make sense. Your hair needs a good enviornment to grow. Dah, I guess that would make sense. So I quit eating red meat, cut my fat intake by about 75%, quit drinking beer, ate tons of leafy vegatables and trippled the amount of water I drank. I also quit overeating and eating when I was bored. Then I started an exersize program that helps blood flow to the head. My hair loss started to slow down with in days and my skin has never looked so good. My hair loss has made me look older, but my skin now makes me feel younger and more attractive. Also I have a 6 pack of abs now. I can guarantee that diet is the most overlooked thing with reguard to hair loss. Oh and I still have a couple glasses of red wine here and there.
Red wine? I thought you cut out alcohol?
Hmm. VERY skeptical here. If anything, alcohol increases natrual estrogen, not testosterone. Can we see proof?
