BIOTIN is the kinky little vitamin that stops Candida from proliferating and also helps healthy hair and nail growth. The only thing I know that blocks Biotin is raw egg white. Thinning hair can also result from Thyroid malfunction, and can be induced from eating legumes (beans like soy) and raw, not cooked, carrots. These are "goitrogens" which block Iodine uptake to the Thyroid.

Same problem here. In fact hair shedding was my first indication that something was terribly wrong within my body but still took two years to find out it was candida. Candida robs our body of nutrients and when the body is nutrient starved it will not feed the hair as it looks at hair as non essential, saving its resources for our organs and such.

My suggestion would be to do a really really good Bowel Cleanse so that you can clear out some of the candida and gunk so that you can start absorbing better. Liver Flushing is important also. I lost more hair during the cleansing stuff I've done I'm assuming from the toxin release but I'm feeling so much better with more energy so my guess is I am finally getting some nutrients so hopefully my hair will start to recover soon.

Good luck

Hi had a terrible hair lost last year.

I agree with the need for Bowel Cleanse and liver flushes.

Additionally, I took MSM. It is really good. I have now new hair, and it also helps with leaky gut.

Hello. I, too, am experiencing rapid hair thinning/loss at age 19. For me, this was the first indication that something is wrong. I started losing hair in October of 2004. I attribute the hair loss to Candida (though, recent research suggest low iron levels, and usage of Tazorac may also be the culprit). I took the anti-biotic Keflex for about a 10 months, and the anti-biotic Minocycline for about 12 months right before the Keflex (so, about 22 months straight of anti-biotic usage). I took these anti-biotics for my acne, and I believe long-term usage of the anti-biotics is cause for my Candida. I have purchased the Colonix Internal Cleasning Prog. and plan to start that in the beginning of May.

Deb, what did you use for your bowel cleanse? Also, you said that you noticed more hair loss during the cleansing period...has this subsided? You're currently finished with the cleanse, right? Has your hair loss stopped?

Zule, what is the dosage of MSM you take? Also, do you take capsules or crystals?

Thanks.

P.S. Sorry about the double post.
