Question
Dear Imran,
I think I am a healthy 24 year old but ever since puberty my hair has been thinning horribly.  My father is bald but my mother and sister have normal thickness hair. Before puberty my hair was thick and long, now it is thin all over and I have a receding hair line that is very noticeable.  I don't know what to do.

I had an expensive saliva hormone test done by Sabre Sciences.  The results came back and they said I was estrogen dominant.  However, I thought that too much testosterone caused hair loss in women not estrogen.  Anyway, a special hormone cream was made for me and I applied it as directed.  A few months passed and I saw no improvement in my acne or hair loss.  Recently I gave in and  am taking estrogen dominant birth control pills to combat my acne.  
But I learned from you in your response to Melissa on female hair thinning on 6/22/2004 that too much estrogen is very bad and can cause hair loss.  I would like to know where I can get the supplements you were advising her. Can you tell me where I can get the Natural Progesterone cream, Immuno-Molecule, and the Licorice Hormone balancing product?

I greatly look forward to hearing your response,
Thank you,
Stephanie  

Answer
Dear Stephanie,

Thank you for your letter.

When hair loss occurs after puberty, it is a sure sign of an estrogenic excess. Progesterone is lacking in your system in order to balance the dominant estrogen.

We do not however recommend natural progesterone creams, as they do not agree with all women, sometimes they worsen the condition.

We also no longer recommend the supplements you read about, as they are of no use to us anymore, as we now have more advanced supplements at our access, that work much better and provide an even broader range of benefits.

The protocol i have added here for you + dietary information will help your body reverse these conditions by its own means.

To begin with, you will only need one supplement, not several, to get rid of the acne and re-balance your hormonal state.

Below you will find information on a liquid super-food; take 2 ounces daily. 1 ounce twice per day. Shake the bottle well before each use, and store in the fridge.

Nightly just before bed; apply the same liquid to the areas affected by acne. Rub it in gently. Apply generously if needed.

Hair Loss: Take 5 milligrams of folic acid per day. 2mg in the morning and 3mg just before bed with some water. Although the superfood will stop the hair loss, the supplementation with folic acid will provide a boost to re-grow your hair.

This protocol will solve your problems.

Immune System; if you feel you need a boost/immune fortification, we use a specialized peptide product. There is currently nothing like it.

We are working to get info of the peptides on a website. For now, email us if you would like the info on word document. Add "peptide info needed" in the subject.

Dietary Advice:

Cut out all soy products except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and soy sauce are healthy. [fermented]

Soy contains goitrogens, which depress thyroid functions. It also contains phytic acid, which hinders the body's ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. In general, it is an enzyme inhibitor.

Do not drink milk. Pasteurized milk is quite harmful. Take only certified organic or raw milk.

Make sure you avoid all artificial sweeteners:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.

Splenda/sucralose has become very popular these days and is just as bad, if not worse than aspartame. These sweeteners are all very toxic and are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc.

Please read labels carefully and cut out all artificial sweeteners. This is very important.

Both soy and artificial sweeteners weaken the immune system. The immune system is one of the main keys to healing any illness. Therefore, the more we can support immune related health the better.

Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils.
These are very unhealthy. Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water. It must be filtered. Avoid drinking distilled water. It leads to mineral depletion and hair loss.

Vaccines:

This is a subject that most do not pay enough attention to. The truth is that despite popular belief,
vaccines are actually harmful. This has now been proven by medical doctors and physicians.

You can do some research on Google:
"dangers of vaccinations". You can search for vaccine information at this site also:  www.mercola.com

Best wishes,
