hair loss again

[Guest guest]

I am into my 13th day of raw and again I am

losing hair like crazy. I have taken

advice and upped the greens in my diet, but still seem to be losing TONS of

hair. Has anyone else experienced this

or know anything about preventing it.

 

I know I am not alone.

This is a quote from THE RAW LIFE by Paul Nison.

It is from an interview with Gil Jacobs

who has been raw for 18 years. When

asked about “Hair Loss and the Raw Food Diet”, he said, “ When people lose their hair, it means there is something

imperfect, but it does not mean they are toxic. The body knows hair is less important so it

feeds the hair last. Therefore, when a

guy starts losing his hair, yeah it means his cells are not 100% clean, but it

does not mean he is dying. It does not

mean he is toxic at all. Hair loss simply means that the body does not have

enough chi-energy to get to the hair.

When you get into raw food, what often happens is you lose all your hair

because the system is going to get rid of the old. It has too much protein and it is too

acidic. It is going to give you new

hair. Seven years ago, I had very little

hair. I was almost bald. Now I have a

full head of hair. What is going to

happen is you are going to lose it and then it is going to come back. It happens with women also. It is funny, they

scream “I’m losing my hair.” What the body is doing is getting rid of hair

that is too acidic and it is going to grow new hair. That is what hair loss is all about on a raw

food diet.”

 

So obviously I’m at the point he spoke of where I’m

LOSING MY HAIR….only that’s not OK with me!!! Does anyone have any insight, because

honestly I fell so discouraged and question the raw food’s ability to

meet my nutritional needs. (I know apes

have tons of hair and eat raw food!) But. I am losing

my hair AGAIN as I do each time I go 100% raw, and I take this as some

nutritional need not being met. I don’t

have much hair left to play with without loved ones becoming worried about the

soundness of my diet choices. I would

like to have some confidence in answering their concerns (as well as mine)

about hair loss and what I am doing about it.

 

 

Any help/insight/information will be greatly

appreciated. Thanks in advance. BEVERLY J

Beverly,

 

Congratulations on your continued raw eating. I understand your hair

loss concern. In addition to what's been recommended from various

members of the group, I have yet another bit of very good information

for you as my research continues. In the book " Fresh Vegetable and

Fruit Juices " written by Norman W. Walker D.Sc. you will find not

only an explanation as to why you are losing your hair but the best

remedy I've seen so far. The book will serve as a good source of

information and an addition to your raw library.

 

Let me know what you think.

 

Good Health to You

Cooked Food is Poison!
