Hello,
This message is by no means a way to put down fasting. My hair has been falling out now for 20 whole days since I broke my last dry fast of 105.5 hours.
I believe I was not watching as thoroughly as I should have been for dehydration as I think this is the issue now for the hair loss? I do not believe it has to do with an underlying illness.
As the day I decided to break it, I'd gone outside & noticed in sunlight that a patch of skin was drying, my eyes were also drier & they've still stayed quite a bit dry since than.
I have past experience with my hair falling out due to Water Fasting abuse 6 years ago. I lost 50% of my hair than. I ignored the signals to break the fast. I continued losing more hair for 1.5 years after.
I did not want to have to post on forums to ask for help, as I've been online a fair bit, & tend to be ridiculed for doing something incorrectly. I contacted the Fasting Doctor, only to be asked to post on a forum to have more of a "collection of info" & that he himself has actually grown more hair. So. by no means am I trying to put anyone's practice down. I just need help. I thought that by asking someone called The Fasting Doctor with over 35 years experience may have run into the odd person that went over board. I guess not.
Yes, I'm emotional. Sorry for that.

This is a reply to # 2,273,724Congratulations on making it 4 days with dry fasting, that is very good self-discipline. :)
loosing hair is a sign of needing mineral/nutritional balancing, building up your reserves more. I had hair falling out plenty (had 13 Amalgam fillings until 1 and 1/2 years ago) until I got just the right balance of selenium, e and b vitamins. I use Epsom Salt footbaths and do my best to eat raw and richly nutritious otherwise. Iodine too.
In the midst of dry fasting, there's a lot of cells that are going to get shut down if they're functioning improperly (aka, have genetic defects, infections, are aged) or if they are unnecessary for survival. I suspect the roots of your hair were getting switched off in preference for rebuilding something more vital, perhaps liver tissues?
Have you had any dandruff issues? There could have been immune system activity going on, but when we're talking about dry fasting, there is a lot that happens. :)

This is a reply to # 2,273,766I know you mean well. & thank you for your reply.
I do NOT feel my hair fall out is due to underlying health issue's.
I should NOT have dry fasted for as long as I had.
I was dehydrated. Hence why my hand had dry patches, dried eyes, & hair that won't stop falling out.
My hair has never grown back the way it was before, & I have fasting experience with food, juice, water, & now dry, over a 7 year period. I have eaten an all raw high fruit diet, & it was NOT rich in minerals/ fats/ protein.
I have even green juice fasted, & saw miraculous healings, but not in hair damage.
Does anyone out there know what I can do in terms of medical care?

This is a reply to # 2,273,854Solstitium,
Hair is made of protein. If you are on a raw vegan diet that is good, so you may have to include beans, seeds and legumes. I make my own sprouts. Try different sprouts everyday. Also raw nuts everyday should help.
It will take good 4-6 months before you see any results.
I do not think dry fast was bad for you. Our body chooses to get rid of unneccessary fat, tisssues and other junk that it does not need.
Dry fast is much harder than water only fast.
Keep faith, you will get your hair back.

This is a reply to # 2,273,858Hello,
I am NOT on a raw vegan diet, that is my past. A few years now.
I have gone back to omnivore, & for the past few months I have added back into my diet, chicken.
In the first 3 weeks, I noticed the hair fall out slow, when I ate 200-250grams of protein/ day. However, I was not able to keep that going $$ at the time, & the fall out increased.
I have now been eating at least 150 - 250 g of protein from chicken & fish back into my diet. It does not seem to be decreasing.
Beans,(legumes), most raw vegetables, grains & gluten are sources I cannot digest, & rarely to never eat.
I did read from a source that white beans may be helpful in times of hair fall out.
**** THE HAIR IS FALLING OUT DUE TO *** SEVERE DEHYDRATION**** from 4 months ago ******* the first Doc told me I could have had a heart attack with the signs I was showing. I am 31.
I am also massaging EO's onto my scalp every night. I'm taking Saw Palmetto, Horse Tail, Vit D, & Nettles, I will try some other things as well.
I have just received blood tests to check my thyroid, iron, copper, ect ect - & everything is fine - I had pelvic pain during the dry fast, & now have nausea for the past 2 menses - which I'd NEVER experienced before. The last Doc I saw, which was today, pretty much just dismissed my concerns. Which is why I held off going in for so long. But the hair is not stopping, & I'm sure I will just have to "ride it out" - but now I have 1/2 the hair I had 4 months ago!!
If it keeps falling out, I may not have any left quite soon.
I will keep people up to date, on this forum of WHAT NOT TO DO. I've had a lot of WHAT NOT TO DO'S WITH ALTERNATIVE HEALTH, & THIS is DEFINITELY ONE OF THEM.
I even had an EKG done, as I'd had chest & heart pain & blood taste in the back of my throat with heart palpitations on the second day, - which I ignored as I only felt them once. Up until a month ago, I had chest & heart pain every day as well. My eyes have been not as dry & feel they have moistened also just in the last month.
So finger's crossed, that I don't lose it all. As I have been monitoring my cooked veg in variety/ leafy green juices/ quite high protein ( it's a chore ) , & what I can afford.
The Doctor I saw today, recommended Rogan, & Pre Natal pills - which I am fairly against taking, BUT - if it doesn't decrease, I'm already considering it.
I will probably go for another opinion, as I felt my concerns were dismissed.
Even IF I were to go to a naturopathic Doctor, I wouldn't even know where to begin.
I will post this again on the dry fasting forum -
Thank You for all replies & concerns.- Re: Losing Hair After Dry Fasting - ... Solstitium

This is a reply to # 2,291,228To add to the above, I just noticed something again this morning. I have patches missing of underarm hair.
During this 4 month time, about 2 months ago, it was growing regularly even though I'd been losing A LOT of hair on my scalp. I know this because, I had it waxed off.
It's grown back, except on the left underarm their is a bald patch, directly in the middle, I'd say I have about 40% hair left on that underarm. The right underarm however, is patchy in the middle only.
A couple of weeks ago, before starting the high protein regime again as I have been able to afford it, my eyebrows started to become patchy at the start (near the eye duct) - they have since filled in.
I have been gearing up for a juice allocation, I'm not sure if it will just be a feast/fast, or adding a certain amount of particular substances to my diet. I have a TON of books on healing/natural medicine/homeopathy/herbalism - so I'm also going that route.
Such as herbal rinses & teas, nettle, sage, birch, rosemary, Arnica Flowers, & Southernwood Aerial, Mullein Leaves Tonic, Burdock & Dandelion root & leaf, ect ect
I'm already using two EO cocktail's, one every night to massage into my scalp, & one to massage into my scalp with shampoo.
Another plus I have noticed, IS when I get my leafy greens & veg, the natural wave/curl comes back & it starts to look better. This could just be a figment of my imagination though as it is something so small right now.

This is a reply to # 2,273,724I recommend taking a Vitamin C supplement, at least 1000mg a day.
I take 1000mg a day and some weeks I take 2000mg.
It won't do you any harm and you will probably be surprised by the results.
Do that for a few months and see what your hair is like then. I had really dead hair for years until I started taking vit-c and now it is so much healthier, I finally found the thing I was looking for to improve my hair condition.
Let me know if it helps.- Re: Losing Hair After Dry Fasting - ... Solstitium

This is a reply to # 2,274,091Hello hghbuzz,
I will try the vit C at 1000mg, why not...
The thing is, my hair was doing sooo much better these past 2 years, when I switched back to a higher variety of cooked foods from a raw vegan diet.
I over bleached my hair in 2010, losing it. Didn't cut it off, redyed it 8 months later, got extensions in to "hide the damage" causing MORE DAMAGE, water fasted that year, - got stuck in it - starving & binging - abusing it - losing MORE hair - burning sensation - it took me FIVE MONTHS to get out of that cycle. It took 1.5 years for my hair to finally stop falling out - I could see through the hair on the crown of my scalp - it never thickened & my diet never improved as I ate a high fruit raw diet for about 2- 3 years - which was low low low in a lot of things - so I got sick. My hair grew back... BUT NEVER THICKENED. & I can STILL see through the "forest" as I call it. I had THICK lustrous long locks that were healthy & I WAS healthy before coming to alternative health. I had some minor issue's that I am now very aware of, which is great. I've learned a TON about my own body, however - I've actually screwed myself over with alternative health extreme's. I've done so much damage.
Back - Scaring - Inflammation - Cellulite - Hair Loss - Low immunity - contracting viruses - unbalanced Hormonal health
I always healed quickly & NEVER got sick, my immunity has slowly increased with more minerals, fat, & protein in my diet.
I still STRONGLY believe in green/veg juice fasting but that is where it stops for me, & no fasting until my body gets back to normality.
I have faith that it is all diet induced & that I do not have underlying health issue's nor alopecia or hereditary. It is still worrisome. It was on the road to recovery, I could have sworn it was coming back this past Summer, & I went & messed around again.
I cannot find the balance in extreme's. I know you yourself have had tremendous results with dry fasting, but it is NOT for me.- Re: Losing Hair After Dry Fasting - ... hghbuzz
