IMPETIGO
DIAGNOSIS
Impetigo is a common skin disease caused by a bacterial infection. Bacteria infect broken skin by entering through cuts, grazes, and cold sores. It usually first occurs around the nose and mouth, appearing as an area of reddened skin that then develops into a crop of blisters. It sometimes spreads to the rest of the body. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A genetic predisposition toward developing baldness or any other skin disorder may play a role but is not a major causative factor, as is often assumed. Healthy skin functions are often completely restored and hair growth, particularly among women, is returned to normal once all gallstones are removed and the colon and kidneys/bladder are kept clean. (For details regarding colonic irrigation and kidney cleansing, refer to my book Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation.)
Conclusion
Gallstones are a major cause of illness in the body. |

All pharma's efforts, on the surface, would seem to have been in vain because, in October 2002, the European parliament voted to retain the ban on DTC. However, it was also a victory for industry because a specific clause in the bill allowed some dismantling of the rules. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Each subcategory has its share of unimpressive products, ranging from those that contain irritating essential oils to hair-loss products that are useless for treating baldness, and the anti-dandruff and oily-scalp lines are entirely problematic, plus several hair masks contain drying clay. Prices are needlessly high, while the benefits are either negligible, nonexistent, or deliver the same result you can achieve from countless less expensive hair-care lines.
© Astera Soothing Milk Shampoo ($20 for 5.07 ounces) isn't soothing in the least. | | Alterna does not explicitly claim this product stops hair loss or cures baldness, but instead uses the word "combats," which only means "fights"—it doesn't mean this product will win the fight against hair loss. However, most consumers will interpret Alterna's claim to mean that this product can stop hair loss, and it cannot.

Bald spot one day, waves of bushy hair a few weeks later. If any of this were possible, why would anyone be bald? | | Poor blood flow causes pattern baldness. This isn't true in the least. As any hair transplant doctor will tell you, the scalp's healthy blood flow, even in areas where balding has taken place, is one of the reasons hair transplants work so well—there is thriving blood flow to supply the newly implanted hair. Not to mention that when you cut the scaip it bleeds profusely—hardly something indicating constricted or depleted blood flow.
Stress causes hair loss. There is some truth to this. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Male pattern baldness or thinning hair is caused by hair mites. This theory is promoted mainly by the hair-care company Nioxin, which sells a product called Semodex designed specifically to kill the Demodexfolliculorum mite. The problem with this theory is that lots of people have the Demodex folliculorum mite present in the sebaceous glands that are attached to the hair follicles. Up to 75% of the United States population—men, women, and children—have it, and not all of them are balding (especially not kids), or have thin hair. |

See book keywords and concepts | | It is estimated that about 95% of all cases of hair loss, even for women, are the result of male-pattern baldness, technically referred to as androgenetic alopecia. "Andro-genetic" refers to male hormones such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, and "alopecia" is the medical term for hair loss. Many different types of hormones affect hair growth, but the hormones with the largest impact are the androgens, which are responsible for increasing the size of hair follicles early in life, and, ironically, for decreasing and shrinking the hair follicles later in life. |

Advances made by Western medicine on this front have been negligible. One substance, minoxidil, has been proven to bring back some hair growth on the thinning, bald crown of the head, but it must be continuously applied, and is not effective on the "receding forehead" areas most characteristic of male pattern baldness. Minoxidil is also not effective for all people. | | Full baldness seems to affect only men. But thinning hair can also be a concern for women.

See book keywords and concepts | | About 50 percent of children with a balding parent of either sex will inherit the dominant baldness gene.
Besides age and genetics, the main culprit in balding appears to be an overabundance or overactivity of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) within the hair follicle. DHT is a derivative of testosterone and is driven by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which is produced in the prostate, the adrenal glands, and the scalp. The activity of this enzyme tends to increase as people, especially men, age. It also causes the hair follicle to degrade, and it shortens the growth phase. |

This product is now available over the counter in drugstores. However, researchers at the University of Toronto, Canada, have reported that this drug may cause heart changes if used for long periods of time. Also, although using minoxidil does result in hair growth, the quality of the hair is usually poor and hair growth ceases when use is discontinued. |

In 1999, researchers in Japan reported that procyanidin B-2 was a safe topical hair-growing agent.1 From 2000 to 2002, they published three in vitro and in vivo (in balding men) studies showing that procyanidin B-2 promoted hair cell growth and increased the total number of hairs on a designated scalp area.2-4 Researchers have determined that mutamba bark is a rich source of this natural chemical compound. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Hair Loss
Hair loss is a progressive decrease in hair growth typically resulting in baldness in men. It usually occurs due to poor oxygenation, acidification of the body due to a poor diet, a dietary deficiency of zinc and/or copper and a lack of Sunlight. Genetic predispositions also play a factor.
Rubbing the oil of a slice of crushed hot pepper directly into the hair loss area with your fingers will help dissolve waxy deposits that may have sealed off hair follicles. This oil will also cause blood flow to that area of the scalp oxygenating and enlivening the dormant follicles. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Other possible signs of copper deficiency include anemia, baldness, diarrhea, general weakness, impaired respiratory function, and skin sores. A lack of copper can also lead to increased blood fat levels. (See COPPER DEFICIENCY in Part Two.)
Excessive intake of copper can lead to toxicity, which has been associated with depression, irritability, nausea and vomiting, nervousness, and joint and muscle pain. Ingesting a quantity as small as 10 milligrams usually causes nausea. Sixty milligrams generally results in vomiting, and just 3.5 grams (3,500 milligrams) can be fatal. |
