Stinging nettle: The parts of the plant that grow above ground can be applied topically to the scalp to improve several hair conditions, including the relief of dandruff, improving hair loss, and to help with oily, greasy hair. For oily hair, a decoction of the leaves and stems could serve as a scalp rinse or wash. A concentrated extract, available from health stores, could also be incorporated into a shampoo to wash and improve hair quality. | | Chemotherapy treatment for cancer can also cause severe hair loss. The best way to keep your hair healthy is to avoid or minimize the use of chemicals such as hair dye, and avoid the harsh heat generated by hair dryers and other styling tools.
Alopecia is the condition where a person suddenly loses his or her hair. This can be a small patch of hair or it can affect the entire scalp (alopecia totalis) and body hair (alopecia universalis). The reasons behind this condition are unknown, but there are indications that it can be triggered by a stressful event. | | Age and genetic 'r make up are the primary factors in the appearance of this type of hair loss. When it occurs in women along with an increase in hair growth on the face, a more complex medical cause involving the overproduction of male hormones is present. |

Bio-Identical Hormones
Bio-identical, also known as natural, progesterone can be used for both diagnosis and treatment of amenorrhea. Progesterone-induced menses indicates that there are adequate estrogen levels and that anatomical problems causing obstruction of the outflow of blood are not present. In these instances, the progesterone challenge is an effective means of diagnosis. | | Acne, Facial Hair, and hair loss. Many peri- and postmenopausal women have problems related to the change in the ratio of estrogen to testosterone. Even though both hormones have declined, there is a relative increase in testosterone because there is less estrogen to block its effects. In addition, women have individual sensitivities to androgens. Some women only react to very high levels, while others are especially sensitive to what are considered normal androgen levels. In addition, women have different kinds of receptor site and tissue sensitivity. |

ž Sleep apnea, a condition in which you stop breathing during sleep, inhibits the absorption of nitric oxide into your body. Makes sense, right? When you're overweight, you tend to breathe through your mouth instead of your nose. The theory goes that because of that, you're not sucking those rich sources of nitric oxide into your lungs, so the airways are less dilated, and oxygen levels can drop. |
Gabriel Cousens
See book keywords and concepts |  A high soy intake and potentially lower level of LH increases the probability of estrogen dominance in men, contributing to hair loss, swollen and cancerous prostates,34,35 and insulin resistance. Dorris Rapp, MD, a leading pediatric allergist, asserts that environmental and food estrogens are responsible for the worldwide reduction in male fertility.36
For women, female children fed the estrogens in soy formula and products hit puberty early, sometimes as young as age 6 to 8. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The symptoms varied by patient and included swelling, coughs, rashes, physical weakness, pneumonia, breathing difficulties, hardening of the skin, mouth ulcers, nausea, shortness of breath, muscle spasms, visual problems, hair loss, difficulty with concentration or memory, and paralysis. The one symptom shared by all was intense debilitating muscle pain (myalgia). The patients' levels of white blood cells, called eosinophils, also skyrocketed, suggesting a severely disrupted immune system. |

Nutrients depleted: This drug profoundly depletes folic acid, because it interferes with the process that activates this nutrient in the body.
Needed supplements:
?Folic acid: Usually, doctors prescribe a much higher than normal dose of 1,000-5,000 mg (1-5 grams) to overcome the depletion, in the form of leucovorin (a fast-acting and more potent form of folic acid). In addition, take 500-1,000 meg of B12> to prevent B12 deficiency? | | Since depression, fatigue, and hair loss can be due to low thyroid, I tested her and sure enough, she was hypothyroid, or low thyroid. I prescribed thyroid hormone and checked her other hormones, which showed that she was perimenopausal. To help her achieve balance, I prescribed bio-identical hormones, which are female hormones that have the same structure as those made by our bodies. She was also low in vitamins needed to maintain a positive mood—specifically, the B vitamins and vitamin D. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The list continues, and these problems are actually precursors to other problems, including unexplained weight gain or loss, chronic pain, irritability and mood instability, hair loss, fatigue, a loss of libido, and a general sense that something isn't right. You feel tired and weak, unable to participate in life to its fullest. In a nutshell: you feel gloomy and slightly depressed. |

"Now if you get somebody with a constellation of symptoms like that, they're going to be sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. | | I had hair loss, skin problems, nail-biting problems and aches all over my body, especially in my legs.
Dr. Spreen got me on a vitamin regimen, which made me feel somewhat better. Then, last summer, he put me on very low doses of thyroid and immediately—within two to three weeks—all the problems were gone. I'd had thyroid checks three times while I was being treated for infertility, and the blood tests had always come up negative. But I knew that my family had thyroid problems. At least six members that I can think of have thyroid disorders, but mine just never showed up on tests. |

• Holy basil contains ursolic acid—one of the cosmetic industry's latest favorites because not only does it quickly heal the skin but it also improves elasticity and removes wrinkles. It also shows benefits for preventing skin cancer. A poultice made from the herb is used topically for its antifungal and antibacterial actions.
• Licorice is used topically for herpes, eczema, psoriasis, and allergic dermatitis. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Since thyroid hormones affect every cell of the body, a deficiency will usually result in a large number of signs and symptoms including low body temperature, intolerance to cold, weight gain or an inability to lose weight, depression, lack of concentration, hair loss, and fatigue. If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to check with your doctor to rule out an underactive thyroid.
Your doctor can conduct a blood test that measures thyroid hormone levels. |

Both types of lupus periodically flare up and then go into remission. Infections, childbirth, excessive stress, fatigue, certain chemicals, and drugs can precipitate attacks. Serious cases of lupus can adversely affect the kidneys, heart, nervous system, and brain, resulting in psychosis, depression, seizures, and amnesia. |
J. Douglas Bremner
See book keywords and concepts |  Side effects include rash, nausea, hair loss, hypertension, stomach upset, and, more rarely, liver dysfunction.
Auranofin (Ridaura), gold salts taken orally or injected, inhibit inflammation and thus delay the progression of RA by a poorly understood mechanism. Because gold salts have a number of noxious effects, including skin pigmentation and a rare but potentially fatal possibility of bone-marrow suppression, in which counts of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets decrease, they should be considered a last resort. |
Hyla Cass
See book keywords and concepts | | Side effects: These vary, depending on the drug; most commonly they include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, anemia, mouth sores, hair loss, changes in taste and smell, infertility, early menopause, fatigue, pain in hands and feet due to nerve damage, bone loss, excess tear production, and memory loss.
Nutrients depleted: Cancer chemotherapy can cause nausea, loss of appetite, and vomiting, all of which have dramatic impact on nutritional status. |
Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews
See book keywords and concepts |  Other side effects caused by chemotherapy can include hair loss, mouth sores, nausea, vomiting, abnormal blood profiles, suppression of the immune response, and difficulty swallowing. Slow growing cancers, such as bowel cancers, are especially hard to treat in part because they grow slower than most tumors.
A chemotherapy drug called adriamycin (ADR) is one of the most effective broad-spectrum chemotherapy agents, but the dosage in which it can be used is limited because it also causes heart damage. |

Tom Bohager
See book keywords and concepts | | People who are generally healthy tend to experience less hair loss than people with a variety of health problems. Therefore, using enzymes to support digestion, the absorption of nutrients, the functioning of the immune system, the elimination of free radicals, and balanced pH levels throughout the body can help with this problem. |
Hyla Cass
See book keywords and concepts | | When we think of chemo, we think of hair loss, vomiting, nausea, and an overall inability to keep up with the demands of life. While chemo is often a hard road, nutritional and dietary changes can reduce the side effects of this difficult medical treatment.
Action: Many drugs belong in this category. Most work to interfere with the replication of cancer cells, though they also destroy normal cells in the process. |
