Reversing Grays Naturally

I’d like to know more about this too. As mentioned above, I have a noticeable reduction in my gray facial (beard) hairs, but there is only a tiny tiny difference in my baldness on top. My good hair does grow fairly fast now. Lyall

Well, I just noticed this unopened e-newsletter from Al Sears, Florida, titled “She Had the Hair of An Elderly Man”. I’ll copy and paste it. It should be a starting place for further research/’googling’.

My patient S.W. wanted me to look at her cholesterol results. Her doctor told her they were concerning.
But I ended up finding something that was much more concerning to me, and to her.
In examining her, I parted her hair to look at her scalp. I saw a problem I see much more often than I used to. She had very thin, sparse hair with a bald scalp that would remind you of an elder male.
She was embarrassed to admit it, but she had been using hair spray and products that are designed to disguise balding in men – like that paint stuff – for years. And she never thought there was anything she could do about it, so she never mentioned it to me.
I used to see this kind of thing rarely, but now I’m seeing it all the time. In the last fifteen years I’ve been practicing, this problem has at least quadrupled.
Fortunately, you can stop this from happening to you.
Today, I’m going to show you how to do two simple things so you can keep a full head of thick shiny hair.
First, let me explain a little about why this is happening…
It starts with a modern epidemic that’s going on – an epidemic of too much estrogen. You’re getting it in your food, and from chemicals in the environment which act like estrogen when they get into your body.
What this does is cause a “feedback inhibition” in your hormone system. It causes you to produce less follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). They normally stimulate the ovaries to produce both estrogen and progesterone.
Your estrogen is going to be fine, but that decreased production of FSH and LH cause a decrease in progesterone. It has no dietary source, so it then becomes very low.
Here’s where the problems for your hair begin.
Progesterone’s normal role is to give you your sexual features like an hourglass figure, but it also binds to the same receptors as testosterone. It normally blocks the effect of testosterone so it won’t cause masculinization.
When you don’t have progesterone, the testosterone can take its place. So what we have today is a whole generation of women who are getting unwanted facial hair, and they’re getting hair loss in a male pattern from the effect of testosterone, which turns into the hair-blocking hormone DHT.
Normally a woman doesn’t have much DHT because it’s blocked by the progesterone. But with all the estrogen women are getting, progesterone plummets and you have hair loss.
The solution is to stimulate your scalp for healthy blood flow, and block the bad guy that may keep your hair from growing.
The bad guy is DHT (dihydrotestosterone). As DHT forms in your body when you have too much estrogen, it collects in the sebum gland in the scalp and starts to attack your hair follicles. Your strands can shrink and eventually fall out.
So stopping DHT is one effective way to help your hair. But it’s only the first part of hair health. There are also a few other little-known but direct and dynamic ways to get shiny hair that has luster and thickness. You can use them to:
Stimulate your scalp – There’s an herb not many people know about that can stimulate blood flow especially to the small capillaries like the ones that feed the hair root. It’s called fenugreek, and it’s also one of the best herbs to use if you have toxins or other scalp buildup.
Enhance thickness – You might think of ginseng as just a feel-good herb, and it is. But when you use it in your hair, it also increases scalp stimulation in a way that gives you healthy hair depth and keeps each strand thick and strong.
Keep a full mane – To help stop the hair-blocking hormone DHT, you can use arctium majus root. It helps condition your skin while it keeps DHT from attacking your hair.
Rescue your hair – Amino acids are the building blocks of hair structure, so it’s essential to feed your hair with the ones that help the most. Like acetyl tyrosine, citrulline, and ornithine HCL. They promote healing and repair in your scalp, and help bring out your fullest, healthiest hair.
Deliver the nutrients – B-vitamins are essential to grow healthy hair and nails, but it’s not easy to get enough from food. Two in particular, biotin and niacinimide, get used up growing and building healthy hair, so it’s important to replace them each day.
Improve hair growth – B-vitamins perform a dual function for your hair if you use zinc gluconate… they team up to give hair follicles and your scalp with energy and strengthening. Without enough zinc, your hair shafts get weakened, causing hair breakage and very slow re-growth. They work together to decelerate hair loss and improve hair growth.
Promote that shine – I don’t recommend eating soy, but it turns out to have great benefit for your hair. Hydrolyzed soy protein can give you shinier, thicker hair that stays moisturized.
Unfortunately, pattern hair loss is very severe in the women I see. To where if I part the hair, I see bare scalp.
Then they tend to use a lot of cosmetic things to try to hide it…
That can make the problem worse. That’s why I created a formula for the patients in my clinic who come to me asking if they can do something about thinning hair.
And I’ve had a lot of success with it. Many of my patients are so thrilled they write to me and tell me that their hair looks twice as thick. That they’ve stopped seeing hair in the shower drain, and that their hair is as shiny as a teenager’s.
S.W. told me she hasn’t had to cover up her hair with a hat in over a year.
I’m so happy for all of them. Because I know having a full head of thick shiny hair is every woman’s dream. And I know it makes you feel young and desirable, too.
That’s why I’ve decided to offer this formula to you. I call it Infuse.
Just two convenient spray applications each day and Infuse gets deep into your scalp, down where the roots are. Infuse replenishes those roots and stimulates normal hair growth.

Thanks so much for your kind feedback Beth. I love seaweed and add it to my diet as often as possible. Perhaps that’s helping too! Shannon
