Hair Loss (Tim - brief)

[Guest guest]

Tim, I'm planning on writing more about this " real soon now " , but for now,

you are comparing yourself after a few weeks or months with another man

after he lived a certain way for decades. Does this seem a reasonable

comparison to you? Do you have any idea what Paul Bragg experienced to get

to the point at which you observe him?

 

Best,

Elchanan

Re: [Raw Food] Hair Loss

 

 

My point Caron, is that I have noticed that when I move toward vegan eating

(or begin a fast) my hair loss accelerates significantly.

 

The reason I mentioned Paul Bragg not losing hair is that it may be that

only those men who are prone to losing their hair simply have this process

speeded up by eating vegan/raw etc.

And those who aren't prone to this will not. For instance if Ronald Reagan

had ever chosen to eat 8/1/1 (now that's a thought) he probably would not

have lost any hair.

Elchanan,

 

Though I have not always " walked the walk " in recent times...I have had an

interest in various dietary aspects of natural health since the early 70's.

 

I developed an interest in raw living and at one point spent a month at the

Hippocrates Health Institute in '77 (while it was still in Boston) and then

continued " raw " for a few years.

 

For years following this I ate according to Macrobiotics.

 

The issue of hair loss was of interest to us guys back then as it was very

apparent that it increased among those who were eating raw but did not increase

among those who were eating according to Macrobiotics. In fact, in Macrobiotics

they discourage the eating of raw foods because they consider them to be

excessively " yin. " And they even commented, back then, on the increased hair

loss that this could lead to. Soy products were considered to be in the same

category.

 

As I previously mentioned, it is clear that much can be simply attributed to

genetics. I have pictures of Paul Bragg going back to his youth and it is

evident he never lost a significant amount of hair.
