I have been going though this too. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution. I have tried many different things too. This has continued for almost 3 months now. Maybe, it will stop soon. My skin looks great-- but my hair is thinning. In fact I haven't even had to wear makeup in the past month, so it is difficult to say. Everyone says greens are key and that has helped a bit, but not enough yet.

your house has been built on bad bricks

just an analogy, of course,,,,

consider that as a cooked foodie your body did the best it can with undernourished, cooked cells that the diet provided...your body cells are constantly dying, regenerating....it is a constant daily thing....the body gets rid of the bad cells to make way for new 'good' cells

hair and weight are 2 of the most noticeable things that the body destroys so that it can rebuild stronger....many people on raw diets become painfully thin at first..this is the body clearing away the bad...if those same folk manage to stick it out (even in the face of others worries/concern), they usually find that after a while their bodyweight increases and normalises

break down, clean and then rebuild using good , raw food, cells

i think it's the same with your hair....your body wants to rid itself of its bad stock....if you stick with it, i bet that your hair will become a lot more lush

stress is also a factor....my mum went through a period in her life where she lost pretty much all the hair on the back of her head...this was most definately stress-related

stick with it and don't add to the loss by stressing...your body knows what it's doing

hope this helps :o)

Some medications and conditions can cause this, but I have heard that most hairloss is all linked to stress.
I know I didn't start this discussion. But I hope you are correct el-bo. I was getting way too thin. But may weight is starting to normalize maybe hair is next. Thanks for the encouragement.

my weight is about where it should be, but over the last 2 weeks i have felt a real decrease in my appetite, so i haven't been eating as much,. i don't even want to drink my whole smoothie, which is CRAZY! so i am trying to eat, but my caloric intake is probably too low.

thanks elliot
not too stressed, really, but just want to be sure i am eating as well as i can. i do know i have had iron-deficient anemia in the past, and this "tingling" feeling I constantly have in my scalp is just waaaay bizarre...kinda freaking me out!

Wierd. I have the exact same thing. My iron and minerals have all been checked too. One doctor said according to my blood I am alkaline inside, but probably not outside. Someone mentioned it could be heavy metals. I might do a heavy metal detox.

I took that vitamin for a while, but I haven't seen great results from it. Isn't that just another form of a B-complex vitamin-- or some mix of B vitamins.

no biotin is a specific nutrient. look it up at whfoods.com--there's lots of good stuff there. it's not a complex or mix.
