THE ROOT OF GRAY HAIR

[Rinse & rePeat]

I pretty much followed Ray's advice. It was a long time ago though to remember exactly. I didn't do anything specifically for hair color.

I was a very low sugar person and by that I mean that I minimized fruit and veggies that were higher sugar. But a lot of the stuff I found Ray saying, I was already doing. I wasn't looking for help from him. But found out I did need better info (more help) than I thought I did.

I tended to go along with the zeitgeist of taking specific homeopathic, vitamins and herbs for specific conditions. I do still use D-mannose to ward off urinary infections. But Ray got me to read the labels on supplements. Note the excipients. And the problems with modern production methods possibly producing un safe supps.

I was using a lot of omega 3. So, I stopped those. And I started using Progest-E instead of the cream progesterone. And stopped the "bio-identical hormone" type estrogen. Started orange juice. I put baking soda in that.

***Sounds like I substituted Ray's anti-inflammatory and pro-metabolic stuff for the inflammatory and estrogenic mode I was in.

I was already on Armour thyroid and a fan of Broda Barnes. But I did watch my temps and adjust for a while. And milk. Yes, I was already having milk in a couple of lattes a day, but began to drink those all day and added sugar.

Made oj jello. I went back to eating liver. I was already gluten free. I don't have all my health stuff solved. The hair was a surprise to me and I certainly did NOT get the "facelift effect" from any Ray ideas.

Ha! Ha! Hey not having gray hair is just as good! Do you eat seafood? What about meat and eggs?

Yes.

 

[Rinse & rePeat]

Yes.

I think getting grains out of the diet and PUFA's are big for better hair.

"These findings were further supported by a study conducted by researchers at the Department of Dermatology at the University of Alabama, where scientists discovered that patients who suffered from vitiligo often displayed diminished blood levels of folic acid. By increasing folic acid consumption through oral administration, researchers noted that patients experienced re-pigmentation without side effects."

Folic Acid and Gray Hair

Folic acid is also important, which is easily lost when estrogen is high, retinoids, UV, alcohol, maybe even coffee ... Oxidative stress by decreasing melanin production contributes to depigmentation. As a tyrosine derivative, melanin is responsible for pigmentation. Vitamins B2, B3, B6, B12...

Oral vitamin D3 may treat steroid-driven hair loss

A very interesting study, which demonstrates that a relatively low (5,000 IU) oral daily dose of vitamin D3 for 6 months, may be able to treat gender-specific (driven by steroids) hair loss. Now, the study participants were all female, with female-pattern hair loss (FPHL), however the findings...

I have read, on this forum, people talking about losing their hair after getting Covid or the vaccine and I finally heard, first hand, from a friend that it is true. I hadn't seen her since April of 2021, and being a nurse she had brought it up how bad the vaccines are and how ever since she got vaccinated, to keep her job, her hair has been falling out, and I could see that her hair look noticeable thinner and brittle. I don't mean this to "fear monger" anybody, but it certainly might help people in that they don't have to wonder what they are eating that is causing it, or that it is suppliments.

I have never dyed or bleached my hair, but have relied on the summer sun and pools to lighten my hair instead. Lemon has served me well, but honey is my new favorite hair lightener now! I thought of it remembering my manuka honey face mask routine had lightened my eyebrows before. Unhappy that my hair had gotten darker this last year, I applied honey and water to my hair last night, left it on for two hours then washed it out and it really brightened my hair! I only did the top and front as a test, but now I am gonna do the rest.
