Chemotherapy, the systemic use of anti-cancer drugs that travel throughout the body via the blood vessels, is used in combination with surgery or radiation or both, depending on the severity of a case. Many chemotherapeutic drugs are used in combination, and new chemotherapeutic agents are added to the arsenal all the time. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Finasteride: This drug can be used in men but not in women of reproductive age. It blocks a testosterone hormone that affects the hair follicle. Because of this, it has side effects such as breast tenderness, decreased libido, and testicular pain. Nevertheless, it has an 80% hair regrowth rate after three months. It should be taken indefinitely. Pregnant women should not handle finasteride as it is a hormone modifier and can affect the hormones of the developing fetus.
Minoxidil: This drug is not available over the counter. |

Dr. Bingham, in the Journal of Applied Nutrition (Vol.27, No.2 and No.3), reported that 60 percent of people who took the yucca supplements experienced diminished pain, swelling, and stiffness in their joints. Native Americans of the Southwest used yucca as shampoo, to treat wounds and sores, as well as symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism. Yucca root extract has no known unpleasant or harmful side effects. It is a rich source of vitamin A and B complex. |

See book keywords and concepts |  However, as a cautionary note, if your dry hair is accompanied by symptoms like fatigue, a cold feeling, weight gain, hair loss, dry skin, muscle aches, brittle nails, puffy eyes and vitiligo, you may have an underactive thyroid gland. Be sure to visit a naturopath and have your thyroid levels checked.
Edema / Bloating / Water retention / Fluid retention
We've all felt bloated at some point in our lives. Edema, which is the medical term for fluid retention, can make you feel overweight even if you are not. |
Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Other symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, depression, cold extremities, constipation, dry skin, and hair loss. Conventional doctors rely on blood tests to diagnose thyroid underactivity. However, many nutrition-oriented physicians have observed that these tests are unreliable (see chaptet 4). In the 1970s, Dr. Broda Barnes popularized the still-controversial idea that individuals with signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism can often benefit from treatment with thyroid hormone, even if their blood rests are normal. | | Diagnosing Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can cause any of a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, depression, difficulty concentrating, sensitivity to cold, hoarseness, dry skin, hair loss, constipation, fluid retention, menstrual abnormalities, infertility, reactive hypoglycemia, elevated serum cholesterol, and poor resistance to infection. On physical examination, people with hypothyroidism may have a sub-normal body temperature, dry skin, puffiness under the eyes or around the ankles, and yellowish palms. | | Early warning signs of vitamin A overdose include fatigue, headache, joint pain, muscle aches, bone pain, and hair loss. These side effects disappear if the vitamin is discontinued. However, it would take much longer than a few months to cause vitamin A toxicity with the dose recommended. The only important precaution would be any possibility of pregnancy, since high doses of vitamin A have been associated with an increased risk of some birth defects."
She laughed. "No chance of that anytime soon. Jan's not only eating right, but she's got enough children for both of us, for now. | | In addition to fatigue and poor immune function, patients with hypothyroidism often have one or more of the following symptoms: cold hands and feet, constipation, dry skin, difficulty concenttating, hair loss, fluid retention, and menstrual irregularities. Many doctors of natural medicine have observed (although most conventional doctors disagree) that a patient can be clinically hypothyroid and still have normal blood tests for thyroid function7 (see chapter 4 for more information). |

See book keywords and concepts |  For example, gassiness in the upper abdomen, hair loss and cracked nails are associated with stomach acid problems. Other findings include a reddened face with scattered medium-to-large acne-like bumps on the forehead and cheeks. Dilated capillaries in the cheeks and at the edges of the nose are also physical exam findings of low stomach acid. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Symptoms of Low Hydrochloric Acid
Individuals with hypochlorhydria may show signs of sub-optimal nutrition, such as broken fingernails or thinning hair (more commonly seen in women than in men, who have other major causes for hair loss). A wide range of other problems may also develop as a consequence of the nutritional deficiencies resulting from hypochlorhydria. Most (but not all) patients with hypochlorhydria experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as heartburn, bloating after meals, belching, or a feeling that food "just sits in the stomach" (particularly after eating meat). |

See book keywords and concepts |  In Ayurveda, hair loss is considered to be a pitta problem so useful herbs would be anti-pitta. These include amla and ohringaraj. B-complex and cal-cium may also help.
Hair loss can be a symptom of thyroid dysfunction; refer to Chapter 11: "Energizing Herbs," for thyroid tonics. (Saw palmetto is one, and may be the best choice since it has other benefits for men.)
Silicon is useful to stop hair loss. Two herbs high in soluble, digestible silicon are horsetail and oatstraw. These are synergistic with turmeric, so turmeric should be added to either or both to make a formula. |
Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH
See book keywords and concepts | | In the year prior to her consultation, she counted her lost hairs daily and was unable to find any consistent pattern, although sometimes there was no significant hair loss for up to 4 days. She noted that her hair seemed less "lively and healthy" than it used to be. Every time she dyed her hair, her cervical lymph nodes would swell up; however, she continued to use a hair dye.
She also noted the recent onset of occasional burning sensations in her scalp. | | On May 12, she reported that her hair loss began to reduce about 1 month earlier and was now no greater than normal. On August 25, she reported that her hair was "doing fine." [Reprinted by permission from Melvin R. Werbach, Case Studies In Natural Medicine, Tarzana, CA: Third Line Press, 2002: 24-25.

Case # 5: Bowel Changes
Kathy, a 25-year-old female, presented to my private naturopathic practice with worrisome bowel changes. The onset of her symptoms occurred after she undertook a "cleanse" sometime in March 2002. | | Some of the other indications for iron supplementation include impaired cognitive function, hair loss, recurrent herpes simplex infections, decreased endurance, and impaired immune function.
Optimum Dose
For individuals with diagnosed iron deficiency anemia, the required dose is 150 to 200 mg of elemental iron for 4 to 6 months. There is some data demonstrating that elemental iron in dosages as low as 60 mg once or twice weekly can be beneficial in selected populations (elderly patients and patients requiring long-term iron replacement therapy). |

See book keywords and concepts | | Early-warning signs of vitamin A excess include fatigue, headache, joint pain, muscle aches, bone pain, and hair loss. These side effects disappear if the vitamin is discontinued.
Iron Therapy
Although we know that heavy menstrual bleeding can result in iron-deficiency anemia, few doctors are aware that iron deficiency is itself a cause of menorrhagia. A vicious cycle can develop, in which heavy bleeding results in iron deficiency, which, in turn, makes the bleeding even worse. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Other signs of bulimia can include bad dreams, bad breath, constantly cold feet and hands, dizziness, excess facial and body hair, fainting, hair loss, mental fuzziness, muscle fatigue, dry skin, yellowish or grayish skin, extreme weakness, and premature wrinkles.
People with bulimia often feel extremely guilty about their behavior, which is why they may successfully hide the disorder for years, even from their spouses and children. |
David Wolfe
See book keywords and concepts |  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. Be cautious, pepper oil is very strong and can burn the skin - only 1 /4 of a small pepper is required. Apply stone-crushed, cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil or hempseed oil two to five minutes after the pepper oil as this will tone down the pepper heat and soothe the skin. | | Dietary choices to restore hair loss should include significantly more organic alkaline fruits (papayas, figs, oranges); for vitamin C, a wide variety of organic green-leafed vegetables to reverse any acid-condition in the body; poppy and pumpkin seeds for zinc and occasional dulse or nori seaweed for trace minerals.
For excellent scalp care, use only organic, plant-based shampoos on the hair. Sometimes I simply use a dilute solution of lemon or orange juice as shampoo; I also occasionally use jojoba or sweet almond oil to maintain scalp and hair moisture and to avoid hair knots. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Report such symptoms to your physician promptly, because continued overdosing may cause serious heart or nervous system complications
Symptoms of low thyroid activity, such as cold intolerance, fatigue, constipation, or hair loss are not side effects of levothyroxine but indications that the dose is not quite adequate, even if the numbers on the blood test look good. (We suggest you keep a record of your results, so you can watch for trends.) Be sure to let your doctor know how you are feeling. |
Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
See book keywords and concepts | | However, if a deficiency does occur, it can cause anemia, depression, hair loss, high blood sugar, inflammation or pallor of the skin and mucous membranes, insomnia, loss of appetite, muscular pain, nausea, and soreness of the tongue.
Sources
Biotin is found in brewer's yeast, cooked egg yolks, meat, milk, poultry, saltwater fish, soybeans, and whole grains.
Comments
Raw egg whites contain a protein called avidin, which combines with biotin in the intestinal tract and depletes the body of this needed nutrient. | | Deficiencies can result in anemia, bloodshot eyes, enzyme disorders, hair loss, an inability to concentrate, irritability, lack of energy, poor appetite, reproductive disorders, retarded growth, and weight loss. Food sources of lysine include cheese, eggs, fish, lima beans, milk, potatoes, red meat, soy products, and yeast.
Methionine
Methionine is an essential amino acid that assists in the breakdown of fats, thus helping to prevent a buildup of fat in the liver and arteries that might obstruct blood flow to the brain, heart, and kidneys. | | It has been used in the treatment of thyroid problems because of its iodine content, and is useful for other conditions as varied as hair loss, obesity, and ulcers. It protects against the effects of radiation and softens stools. Kelp is recommended as a daily dietary supplement, especially for people with mineral deficiencies.
Kombucha Tea
The kombucha, or Manchurian, "mushroom" has reputedly been used in Asian countries and in Russia for centuries. The kombucha itself is not eaten. |
Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Such drugs can cause weight gain,630 cholesterol elevation (not a good way to prevent heart disease), psychological depression (the "beta-blocker blues"), fatigue, stomach upset, insomnia, nightmares, confusion, memory problems, lethargy, cold hands and feet, shortness of breath, rash, hair loss, blurred vision, dizziness, joint pain, and sexual difficulties.
This seems a little reminiscent of the Vioxx scandal, except the media completely missed the significance of the research. |

Both hairiness and hairlessness often run in families and among certain ethnic groups. Native American men, for example, tend to have very little, if any, facial hair. And men from East Africa are apt to have a lot more facial hair than their neighbors in West Africa. |
