Re:
Iodine Update..
You need zinc young man, around 50 mg daily in addition to Bs, particular B12, take it seperately from the magnesium. (same uptake mechanism)

"Severe zinc deficiency in humans has been shown to produce baldness and scalp problems that were reversed when zinc was returned to the diet."

I have treated quite a few children and teenagers but not many males around 20. I have a 10 year old girl now with alopecia but she is only 2 weeks in, so I cant tell much; other than that she is given iodine, borax, vit c and b, zinc and magnesium.
I have a hair do for you, cheap and effective;
mix one heaped tablespoon of Borax in half a liter of warm water, add 10 drops of
Iodine and 10 drops of essential oil
(rosemary, tea tree or lavender or a mix of these) dont worry the solution will turn transparent / borax fade the
Iodine color. I believe the inflammation have no chance toward this scalp mix.
Pour in a squeeze bottle and add some to your scalp, let it sit for half an hour or so. Then shampoo as usual.
You are avoiding fluoride, right ?
