New to Group/Question

[Guest guest]

I am new to the group and have been very interested in alternative medicine for

quite some time and am excited about the number of professionals that are in

the group.

 

I am a 68 yo grandmother and have a question about hair loss. My husband has

lost most of his eye brows and eye lashes and hair is going fast. Hair seemed

to start thinning and then all of a sudden bare patches started appearing. He

has been on thyroid medication for a couple or three years and doctors have

upped his medication from l00mcg to 112 mcg. He was not as enthusiastic about

alternatives when doctors prescribed his medication so did not try alternative

treatment at that time. He is much more open now.

 

The doctor has told him that his scalp is shiny so that means the hair will grow

back. That's amusing to me as I have never seen a bald headed man whose scalp

did not look like he spent hours shining it. <g>

 

At any rate, I would appreciate any comments or help that any of you might have.

Hi Eloise,

 

I think you are right... I have never seen a bald head that was not

shiny...

 

For right now, I recommend at least starting the research into

fasting, sprouting, and increasing water intake that I mentioned to

the lady with cholesterol. These are just good things to do for all

sorts of chronic as well as acute conditions...

 

But can you also tell us more about your husband's symptoms? Just

like the lady with the high cholesterol, we all experience our

symptoms uniquely. What is his sleep like, his appetite, is he a

warm or chilly person, a thirsty or thirstless person, what other

conditions does he have and what are they like?

 

What makes him unique from the rest of suffering humanity?

 

Using that information I will try to help you learn how to help him

homeopathically...

 

Let me also take a day or so and see if I can find out more useful

information for you... Meanwhile there are many practitioners here

who might have insight that is helpful...

 

Be Wishes,

Misty

Misty, thank you so very much for your insight. I have a very healthy 74 yo

husband. We do no sprouting but do try to drink a lot of water....at least

64 oz. daily. He's become very cooperative over the last yr or so with

alternative methods. As far as we can tell, he has no other symtoms. He

does not have a weight problem....cholesterol is wonderful.....blood sugar

is really good....trigllycerides fine....even though he considers himself

right handed, he has more grip in his left hand....and can use the left hand

better than me. My left hand is strictly a helper hand. He has no sleep

problems. He has always been able to sit down and take a short nap any time

he desires. Wakes up refreshed and ready to go. I'm more of a type A

person and if I nap and dont get enough, I have a hard time not being

grouchy. Not him. He eats well. No change there. We try to eat a healthy

diet with greens, low carb and a few sweets. He is more of a warm person.

We have not noticed any change in his thirst. He has some arthritis in his

thumb.

He says that he feels fine and has a very active life. Gardens some, does

our yard work, active in church work, and does do it yourself projects

around the house. We're on the road a good bit with grand children and

their activities. He just had cataract surgery last year. Has had a hernia

repair several years ago. Has some problem with memory but have gone

through tests for that and iridologist found some circulation problems.

Neurologists and psychologist gave him a clean bill of health as far as

Alzheimers and dementia. He has some macular degeneration but it has

progressed none in the last three years when it was first diagnosed. He

feels fine and this has baffled the family doctor. Other than synthroid

(which I wish he was not on) he takes nothing except supplements. He does

take a prescription FoltX which is a mega B12, B6 and Folic Acid.

 

He is very easy going although he does have a stubborn streak. <g> Only

those very close to him realizes that because he is so agreeable in

disagreeing. Sometimes you do not realize he is disagreeing which causes me

some problems. <g again>

 

This is about all I can think of, but will keep meditating and see if

anything else surfaces.

 

Thank you for your time.

Dear Eloise, You gave some good symptoms that we need to look further into...

For example, is he predominately left handed? Do most of his symptoms seem to

happen to his left side? What is his sleep like? When does he go to bed, when

does he wake? Does he wake in the middle of the night for anything? If so,

when does he tend to wake and for how long is he awake? If all food were

equally good, say salad is as good as chocolate, what would he have every single

day? What food does he not like, and which foods do not like him? Is his

thirst normally strong or weak? Does he drink 64 oz a day because his body

wants to, or because he knows he should? Is there arthritis anywhere else?

What makes the arthritis better, what makes it worse? Is it worse on the left

side? Are there any other bone complaints- such as his teeth? What is his

vision like? Does he see floaters, double vision, etc.? Tell me more about the

memory problems... Is it names, or faces, or places, is it stuff from long ago,

or more short term? When is the memory better, when is it worse? When he is

stubborn, does he have to be right? What makes him stubborn? Does he disagree

in a nice way because he does not want to hurt anyone's feelings or because he

does not like to fight, etc.? Be Well,Mistyhttp://www..com

For example, is he predominately left handed?

No, but can use his left hand better than most right handed people.

 

Do most of his symptoms seem to happen to his left side? No.

 

What is his sleep like?

Has no sleep problems that we know of. Sleeps well.

 

When does he go to bed, when does he wake?

Between 10-ll p.m. and up between 5:30-6:30.

 

Does he wake in the middle of the night for anyything?

Only for bathroom and then right back to sleep.

 

If all food were equally good, say salad as good as chocolate,

what would he have every single day?

Breads and Peanut Butter.

 

What food does he not like, and which foods do not like him?

He's a meat and potatoes man. Loves desserts. Salads would

be

least favorite altho he enjoys a green salad.

 

Is his thirst normally strong or weak?

Average.

 

Does he drink 64 oz a day because his body wants to, or because

he knows he should?

Knows he should.

 

Is there arthritis anywhere else?

Maybe in the knees but not too noticable.

 

What makes the arthritis better, what makes it worse?

It just comes and goes.

 

Is it worse on the left side?

No.

 

Are there any other bone complaints- such as his teeth?

No.

 

What is his vision like? Does he see floaters, double vision,

etc.?

He had cataract surgery last year. No problems. He

just told

if he really relaxed sometimes he could see double.

No real

problem, though.

 

Tell me more about the memory problems...

Is it names, or faces, or places, is it stuff from long ago or

short term?

He has never been really good with remembering

names. And

we have not been able to determine a pattern of

long term

and short term. It seems he had problems with his

low

thyroid without the usual symtoms. He had no

weight

problem and no fatigue. But it seems his memory

must have

really been affected because there are periods that

has no

memory of. For instance, we went to Israel in 2000

and

he cannot remember a lot about it. He felt fine

and enjoyed

it immensely while we were there. He was diagnosed

in 200l

with the hypothyroid. Some things are clear as can

be but

others are just not there that we feel would be

things he

would have remembered. But there are other things

that are

not as memorable that he remembers.

 

When is the memory better, when is it worse?

No pattern.

 

When he is stubborn, does he have to be right?

I have never been able to determine this.

After all of these

you'd think I'd have a handle on it, but I

dont.think he

necessarily thinks he is right. Maybe he just

doesnt want

to do it or thinks he should

What makes him stubborn?

I think its his temperament. He is a

phlegmatic for sure, if

you are familiar with that.

 

Does he disagree in a nice way because he does not want to

hurt anyone's feelings or because he does not like to

fight, etc.?

He definitely does not like confrontation.

He very seldom

verbally disagrees but when he does it is

very evident.

Mostly will just go ahead and do what he's

gonna do.

 

In studying the temperaments he is definitely phlegmatic

with a

blend of choleric. Married to a melancholy with a blend of

choleric. Definitely not a laid back bone in my

body...LOL....

 

He has mellowed a lot in the last few years. For

instance, I

cooked only what he liked and he did not like to try new

things.

I brought this up in one of my " confrontations " (I'm not

bashful

when it comes to confrontations. Get it out in theopen

and get

it over with is my motto) in the manner of why couldnt he

eat

something that I liked for a change since I had cooked and

eaten

only what he liked. The look on his face was sheer

astonishment.

It had never occurred to him. He began to try new things

with me

and our diet has been much better since that

time......Course this

was after our children were grown and gone.....but

better that

than not at all. He eats much healthier now. Guess you

could say

I spoiled him, huh??

 

If you need further info please dont hesitate to ask. I

do

appreciate your interest and effort.

We love your comment " growing older " . We refuse to grow old. <g>

 

Even losing his hair, he's a trooper......we've had some good years

together..

will celebrate our 50th next year.

 

Medically, he's been very blessed. Until we had the testing done in 200l,

he didnt know what the inside of a doctors office looked like unless he was

with me. Had gone for only a very few physicals during his life, so we know

we are blessed. Even now, he doesn't feel bad but we know something is not

functioning correctly and he does get checked yearly now. He just never saw

a reason to take care of himself before because he had NO complaints.

Thta's what I called blessed.

 

Thank you for your comments and have a wonderful day.

Hi Eloise...

 

I did some researching for you as well...

 

There are two main remedies for hair loss- carbo veg and

phosphorous. Carbo veg covers the memory and is indicated for those

who are living long, full lives... So, I think the carbo veg is

most indicated.

 

Again, if it were me, myself and I, I would take carbo. veg. 30c and

cell salts (they are a homeopathic preparation of all 12 cell salts

put into one remedy) and I would alternate these, making sure I took

each one at least three times during the day... Again do this for a

month and if he chooses to do this, please report back how he feels..

 

Be Well,

Misty

Hi Eloise,

 

The full name of the remedy is carbo vegetabilis. Do you have a

Wild Oats or some other health food store that carries homeopathic

remedies? And you will want the 30c potency.

 

Ps- this remedy also covers eye issues, I did not know exactly what

his symptoms were to see if it was a match, so I would be interested

in knowing how those symptoms go as well.

 

Would you mind keeping a short log or diary, so you can keep track

of how he progresses? Sometimes the shift can be so gradual,

likewise once the symtpom is gone, it is hard to recall.

 

Be Well,

Misty
