Natural cure's
Before you go down the avenue of hair replacement you may wish to try a few different natural remedies to assist in restoring your thinning hair.
As with all holistic cures it's unto the individual to research and decide which is the best option for them.
We make no claims on how effective these alternative cures are in combatting hair loss as always when self medicating it's best to seek the advice of a carefully unbiased professional.

- Vitamin B12 - (Under the deepest state of hypnosis the higher self indicated that a deficiency in this vitamin was the cause)
- Folic acid
- Vitamin D-3 plus K2
- Black strap molasses (also restores hair colour)
- He Shou Wu
- Coconut oil
- Bicarbonate soda (destroys the yeast internally)
- MMS-Jim humble
- Colloidal silver solution
- Inversion table to increase blood flow to the scalp
- Gotu kola (used by monks to maintain strength & hair)
- Apple cider vinger tonic
- Positive thinking acting as a placebo has shown remarkable results
- Iodine (under active thyroid)
New's
A joint UK and US team was able to create new human hairs from tissue samples.
This approach has the potential to transform the medical treatment of hair loss.
Current hair-loss medications tend to slow the loss of hair follicles or potentially stimulate the growth of existing hairs, but they do not create new hair follicles.
This method, in contrast, has the potential to actually grow new follicles using a patient's own cells.

New Hope For People With Hair Loss

Is your hair thinning, looking like there’s less and less of it? With full vibrant hair a sign of good health and attractiveness, thin lackluster hair can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.
We don’t all have to have the Robert Redford or Brooke Shields locks of beauty, but something to really run our hands through would be nice.
Hair loss and a receding hairline is not just a concern for men. Both men and women experience hair loss and it can have a huge impact on self-esteem. The trouble is, hair loss can be really emotional and difficult to treat. Scientists now say that stem cells could be the answer.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine report that they have transformed adult human cells into stem cells to regenerate the cells found in hair follicles. Stem cells as a means to re-grow hair follicles are not an unknown concept; however, until now, scientists have not been able to produce enough of the cells to conquer baldness. This is the first time a research team has managed to achieve such a result, bringing new hope to those looking for hair help.

Stem Cells For New Hair GrowthThe research team started out with human skin cells known as “dermal fibroblasts.” They added three genes and converted the cells into what are commonly referred to as “induced pluripotent” (iPSCs) stem cells. The iPSCs are adult stem cells that have been genetically reprogrammed into an embryonic cell-like state.
The scientists bioengineered the cells into epithelial stem cells that are normally found at the bulge of hair follicles. By controlling the timing of the cells’ growth, the researchers were able to force the iPSCs to produce large numbers of epithelial cells.
Over an 18-day period, 25 percent of the “induced pluripotent” stem cells were converted into epithelial stem cells. When the scientists mixed the cells with mouse dermal cells and grafted them onto the skin of mice, they were able to produce functioning human layers of skin cells and follicles that were similar to human hair.

From Laboratory To Market Over 30 percent of men in America are affected by male pattern baldness. Women also experience hair loss at an alarming rate. While the University of Pennsylvania’s promising new cells are not ready to be used in humans, more research and development could see them used in hair regeneration. Researchers say the cells also could be used to heal certain types of wounds.
When humans experience hair loss, they actually lose two different kinds of cells, the epithelial part of the hair follicle and the dermal papillae cells. The study at the University of Pennsylvania solved one part of the problem, the epithelial, but now scientists say they must figure out a way to make new dermal papillae cells. Back to the laboratory!
