Hair loss & blood pressure.

Hi James,

Over the past couple of my weeks, my great grandmother (age 87) has been losing significant amounts of hair while showering. However, she's been taking the Adrenal Tonic and Cardio-Vascular for about 4 weeks now, which I expected would strengthen her hair, overall. Can you guess why this would be occurring and how it might be reversed? She is not taking any drugs, so that possible cause is out, but hormone, adrenal, or thyroid imbalances are certainly possible with her.

Also, upon getting nervous about something a week ago, she's had on/off blood pressure spikes and dizziness. Hopefully, this goes away, and I've added magnesium to her supplement regimen to help there. Do you know of any other thing she could take to maintain her blood pressure? Bonito peptides, perhaps? She already has the herbs in the Cardio-Vascular and Adrenal Tonic, which have regulated her, but I mean especially during the course of an attack, and to prevent any attacks in the future.

Can any of the above be caused by a Vitamin D deficiency? I've suspected a vitamin deficiency, in general, due to her diet: some whole grain bread, various whole-milk dairy products, and a tiny bit of vegetables such as potatoes, and little else. I've been telling her to consume more Vit C sources and have supplemented some D.

Thank you,
Alex.
