Update on hair loss prevention program

If you have been reading these posts for a while you may have seen my earlier post about the program I was using to prevent excessive hair loss. If you missed it, do a site search for "telogen" and it should come right up. Basically it had three parts: Getting in all your protein (60 grams or more) every day, increasing fluid intake to avoid ketosis (ketones are toxins) and adding zinc and selenium supplements. I am now 5 and 1/2 months out and am happy to report that this program has worked well for me! I had no hair loss at all until 4 months, after that I was combing out a bit more hair than usual for about 4 weeks but had no noticeable thinning. Now I am back to combing out the normal, minimal amounts of hair after each shampooing. I plan to continue the program at least through the first year but have stopped crushing the zinc and selenium tablets. I was a test group of one so can't promise that everyone will have such good results but there are good physiological reasons why it should help most if not all. If you have any additional experience using this program please let me know. Carolyn Moore DS 11/03/03 317/226
