Hi Storage-Girl,
First let me say, welcome to the forum, you've come to the right place for help!
Uny likes to have as much information as possible to fit all the puzzle pieces together and form a plan of action. She will want to know all the OTC supplements you're taking, all the pharmaceutical drugs you might be on. You said you haven't done a colon cleanse since the hair loss started, how long ago was that and did you do a 30 day cleanse? Have you done any other cleansing? What kind of diet do you have, % raw, % steamed, % meat/dairy? How much water do you drink a day and what kind, distilled, RO, tap, spring?
If you can think of anything else that I haven't asked please feel free to post it. There is no such thing as too much information!
As soon as you can get the answers posted Uny will answer as soon as she can.
Blessings,
Willow
As far as cleanses go, my last colon cleanse was about 1 3/4 years ago what kind of colon cleanse, for how long, what product?. I take Milk Thistle regularly, organic or not? whole ground seed or an isolated extract? so I haven't done a liver cleanse, but could probably use one. :v) I have tried fasting for a day here and there, but that's it. No other cleanses. Also, drink wheat grass periodically, but it sometimes makes me feel like I do with sugar.
Diet - I am doing my best to be gluten-free. I also am eating very little sugar - just here and there. I do eat dairy and meat (2 times a week - not a big meat eater), but don't seem to have problems with either. Also, used to drink A LOT of caffeine. I am drinking maybe one caffeine product a week - at the most. Hoping to get rid of that totally soon. I drink water, lemonade (lemon, water, stevia), and sometimes caffeine free diet soda (BAD!). What kind of water? how much daily?
Diet - percentage raw/steamed produce? percentage organic?
Do you have a juicer? if so, what kind (centrifugal or masticating? brand/model of what you have if you don't know what kind it is)
what are you allergic to? other food "reactions"? (if so, describe the 'reactions)
age? female/hormone issues? (menopause?)
Supplements - Here goes....Omega - 2000mg per day I assume you mean Omega 3's? What kind of "omega", what brand? , Milk Thistle - 2 capsules per day, Calcium - 600mg per day What kind/form of calcium? Magnesium - 800mg per day (my body seems to need more mag than calc), Vit. D - 2000iu per day, digestive enzymes (2 per day), type? iron (occasionally - when I look pale), probiotics (occasionally), Vit-B complex (due to stress - only been taking 6 months - they are helpful) synthetic or plant/food based? here's how you can tell: ,http://www.nutriteam.com/natural.htm#labels Biotin - 5000mg (hair), stopped L-Tyrosine in a Thyroid supplement, (because it made my hyper) and I take Ashwanganda (sp?) - 1 capsule per day. I have occasionally taken E and Maca here and there. (Heard that maca would help adrenal and balance hormones - This looks a little long! :::grin::: you're just not familiar with how much info I prefer to be able to offer healing advice :)
-- pretend you'd never had any kind of a 'test' to tell you what is wrong, then...describe what your main issues are and what YOU think is wrong...and what are you wanting to address? (do you want a recommendation for what will band-aid/squelch your symptoms, or do you want to thoroughly heal/restore your body?)
Okay, that should "do it" - I'll do my best to get you a response with in a day or two of getting your reply.
Blessings,
Uny
Exercise - Lift weights 3-4 times a week, aerobic of some kind daily (not running)
**Larry mentioned auto-immune disease. My mother had Lupus. I don't have Lupus, but have thought maybe I could have some sort of auto-immune issue, too (I can have bad allergies).
Thanks for everyone's help! Please let me know if I forgot something.
