dummies guide to immortal hair

Hey,

I'm new to this forum... and glad I signed up

I wanted to know in brief and simple terms what your (this site) physiology to hairloss is?

How it is combated i.e. the regimen? are there any core supplements etc

What sort of results can we expect?... what results have users seen?

Thank you

Alan - This will explain for the most part: www.immortalhair.org

What exactly is the Big 6?

http://www.immortalhair.org/mycurrentregimen.htm (basically we're referring to the top 6 entries of the list, before the "Ancillary/Supplemental" section )

If you're young then it might be worth sticking some beta-sitosterol and SDG (flax lignan, you can get it on ebay it's called linumlife) to balance out your DHT, estrogen and testosterone a little bit! I would also recommend Nizoral shampoo and a good diet (rich in fibre and just basically healthy and natural unprocessed foods. I wouldn't recommend overdoing things that spike your insulin like sugar or simple carbs, and small meals is a good idea too. Fat should be kept controlled as it increases sebum. Meat and dairy... don't overdo it. I believe that meat has an effect on insulin and dairy increases IGF-1, but I'm a noob myself so I can't claim to know everything hehe )

Of course these are just my opinions, and I myself am still learning!

Hoppipolla - Vegetable oils can cause inflammation. They are loaded in polyunsaturated fatty acids which are too unstable when cooked and generate free-radicals. They are also loaded in omega-6 fatty acids, which when consumed in excess can promote inflammation when there isn't enough Omega-3.

Animal fats are good for hair. In fact saturated fat in most forms is very good for hair. The reason is that it lowers 5-alpha reductase expres​sion(vegetable oils increase 5-AR). Saturated fat also lowers lipoprotein(a), while vegetable oil increases it.

So-called "heart healthy" canola oil is something to avoid.

Of the best oils to cooked with (for hair) is coconut oil. Butter is good too.

I'm assuming you would only want butter from grass fed cows right? Traditional butter comes from soy and grain (corn) fed cows. I can't imagine it would have a healthy combination of anti-inflammatory fats.

Ah ok CS.. so I mean... which of my recommendations is inaccurate? Are they all ok apart from the degree of steering clear of meat? and dairy I guess, but I'd like to lower my IGF-1

I am confused with the top 6 also, the link below has more than 6 items before "Ancillary/Supplemental". Can someone write the 6 things down?

Is Ecklonia cava a substitute for Resveratrol? or can they be used together? and why not use other brands of Ecklonia? also, why aren't Tocotrienols in the top 6?

Are these supps enough to regrow lost hair? maintain current hair? or slow down hair loss?

grrrrr! why no edit button?

I'm glab i'm not the only one

lol yes I noticed 7 items...

also and why nutricology brand only?
it says 400mg capsules morning and evening on the current regimen when that brand offers 1200mg per serving...

where you using the dr's best brand before? as that comes in 400mg per capsule.

All really good questions, so will try to answer as best as I can.

While it would be ideal to consume butter and meat from grass-fed sources, it's not particularly easy. Personally I do not eat a perfect diet, and am a slave to many modern foods, and eating out a lot, which I do, isn't any help.

That said, that is where the supplements come in. Krill oil will help balance out the prostaglandin imbalances, so I can worry less about the inflammatory potential of grain-fed animal.

The "Top 6" is is really representative of everything except the biotin. Having biotin in there is a safeguard, and you may note that Stabilized R-Lipoic acid actually contains some D-biotin already in it.

If you count the resveratrol, it really counts to be seven. I suppose it should be called the IH top six +
But at any rate, this is sort of a name that's been mentioned a lot, it seemed to stick.

Each capsule of Nutricology Fibroboost is 400 mg. It can be taken twice per day (three if you have money to burn, but not necessary). Doctor's best isn't "the best" and this was determined by some anecdotal feedback. It's a bit of a long story--if you want more info, I can find the thread on it.

Regarding cheese, it's a bit tricky. Some cheeses are better than others, and while cheese does not affect the glycemic index, it does create an elevated insulin response. I'm not exactly sure why. However, it may not be much of a concern because of this study:

Is Ecklonia cava a substitute for Resveratrol? No, not at all.

or can they be used together? Yes

What about Tocotrienols? They are good, in fact, it's a good idea to insure there is adequate intake of minerals and certain vitamins. Of the most important are Vitamin C, Magnesium, Vitamin E family (tocotrienols/tocopherols in mixed, natural forms).

Personally, I get all of my dietary B-complex from Brewer's yeast along with several critical minerals their natural form.
I get the remaining from here: http://www.iherb.com/Source-Naturals-Renewal-Antioxidants-60-Tablets/4540?at=0

Are these supplements enough to regrow lost hair? maintain current hair? or slow down hair loss?

They probably are if: You have no existing root canals, bone or teeth implants. And if some reasonable watch over diet is taken, i.e, no excessive consumption of allergic grains or foods for one's ancestral diet. We can get away with eating some "sinful" food just not as well if it's is done everyday.

CS thanks for that

sorry I just noticed it was 3 capsules so is 400mg haha.. thanks for answering me questions.. will adopt some of the top 6 soon

So, root canals and things are bad but... are normal fillings ok? I mean I know they're still not great but...

(my knowledge of dentistry and metals like mercury isn't great yet!! )

Hoppipolla - Having mercury filling(s) of course isn't so great, however it will have no where near the negative impact that root canals and bone/teeth implants can.

The reason has to due with anaerobic bacteria. With a root canal, there is a constant out-pour of extremely dangerous bacteria that leaks into the blood stream emanating from a massive amount of gangrenous tissue which is infected by anaerobic microorganisms.

Autoimmune diseases are triggered initially from either bone implants or root canals. Conditions such as ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis are severely impacted. Of course studies conducted on the relative latitudinal prevalence of some of these diseases increases where Vitamin D "winters" last the longest (the Northern most latitudes). Most likely, due to an inability for glutathione production due to a shortage of vitamin D.

Upon placement of a bone implant there is absolute "autoimmune" infection. I placed quotations since the body isn't really attacking itself, it's attacking a foreign substance.

When those with these autoimmune conditions (probably includes hair loss) have a properly performed removed of said implants, they can tend to experience a profound leap ahead in their health, and often times a completely "remission."
However, please note that if root canals are not extracted in the proper order, problems can magnify, due to multiples having a battery effect. It is analogous to removing the positively charged leads from a car battery first, instead of the negative first.

Root canals act as a real battery in the mouth.
