I've had a lot of luck with mixing organic castor oil and virgin coconut oil 50/50 and applying it to my body and scalp every night. Plus, when I started taking Iodine and borax, the hair started growing back on my legs. At age 60, I thought I was done with hairy legs, but guess not! LOL

The VCO is to thin out the castor oil, plus the two together help kill off any skin parasites that may be causing your thinning. It may cause some sores in your head, if there are parasites. Make sure you wash it out every morning. I use Dawn dishwashing liquid to get it out, then rinse with either 1 tbsp. Apple cider vinegar to 1 ltr of water, or 1 tbsp. borax to 1 ltr. of water.

I can't believe how much of my hair has grown back.

I've always been fairly hairy (except for my scalp) and it seems like I get a lot more hairy when out in the heat and sun all the time. Over the winter spending a lot of time indoors my arm and leg hair thinned a noticeable amount. But this summer I work outdoors 20 hours a week and my arm and leg hair is as hairy as its ever been. I take Iodine supplements also and am balding. I have started some scalp painting and curious to see what the results may be.

"I know this is a hypothyroid symptom, yet rare in males, so I ask in the Iodine forum. Has anyone here suffer/ed loss of body hair and succesfully recovered from it?"

- yes, body hair loss in males are rare, but one of the typical symptoms of hypo T in females are thinning of the outer eyebrow. And scalp of course, as in males.
In females also an INCREASE in facial hairs are reported.

So we could have an interesting thread.

The topical effect of coconut oil / castor oil; could be a fungus or parasite situatin, possibly similar to alopecia.
I treated a 10 year old girl with alopecia; iodine, borax + vit B and the other co-factors. She was good within a year, even on a bad SAD diet.
A better option for fungus / parasites IMO than the oils, are a borax solution (water, borax 4,5 %)with some iodine, essential oils. Let it sit for half an hour or even over night, then rinse. Less mess.
I put the girl on this topical treatment, but I dont know what worked in her case.


Mostly I would think that in this particular thread case it is a hormonal imbalance, and even if your testosterone test is ok, it may be on the declining side, or that the test doesnt work, same as the thyroid tests frequently doesnt show the true picture. (shows fine on the tests, but you have all symptoms of a low thyroid)
I would consider other symptoms, than libido level, energy level etc.

Borax will boost the testosterone, also Iodine will balance hormones.

Androgenic symptoms include loss of body hair;
