Natural Hair Loss Treatment – Herbs

Paton Jackson



Hair loss treatments are usually divided into two groups: natural hair loss treatments and all the other hair loss remedies. Unfortunately, many people that experience hair loss are not aware of the natural hair loss remedies. They usually get frustrated after having side effects of the hair loss remedies or spend too much money on ineffective hair loss remedies.



Herbal hair loss treatments have been proven effective for decades and in some cases even centuries. They cause no side effects, cost less than any other hair loss treatment and bring good results in preventing hair loss, stopping hair loss and regrowing hair.



Here are some of the most common herbs for hair loss:



1. Rosmary (Rosmarinus in Latin) – known for stimulating hair growth and for enhancing dark hair.



2. Dong Quai – A Traditional Chinese herb that contains phytoestrogens that reduces the formation of DHT. Hence, Dong Quai is beleieved to stop hair loss and even regrow hair.



3. Saw Palmetto – A small creeping palm - Also known as Serenoa repens. It contains free fatty acids and phytosterols, which block the formation of DHT and by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that contributes to androgenetic alopecia. and has shown to be more effective than Finasteride in some cases.



4. Aloe Vera - Taken from the inner leaves of plants, it is a substance in a gel formation that is known for its ability to calm irritated skin. It protects the scalp and hair and also known as a good remedy against Alopecia.



5. Capsicum – A type of hot peppers which stimulates hair growth by at least half and increases blood flow to the scalp. This herb is good for regrowing hair.



6. Lemongrass – A pale green stalk about 18 inches long. This herb stables oil product in the scalp. It also increases fullness and body to the hair.



If you suffer from hair loss or thinning hair or just want to keep your hair healthy and strong, it is recommended to use herbal hair loss treatments.

Natural Hair Loss Remedy Discovered in Apples

David L. Kern



The news spread like lightning across the Internet...



In Japanese clinical trials, a safe, natural polyphenol compound from apples was proven to promote new hair growth in men with male pattern baldness.



In the first double-blind clinical study, 29 balding men were treated with the apple procyanidin solution. After 6 months, researchers reported that both vellus and terminal hair growth were "significantly greater" than placebo control group subjects.



(Vellus hairs are short hairs, only a centimeter or two long. The follicles that produce them never produce any other kind of hairs. Terminal hairs are the long hairs that grow on the head.)





Increased Number of Terminal Hairs



The next study involved 21 men in various stages of hereditary hair loss. After 12 months of topical treatment, researchers reported that "71% of subjects showed an increased number of hairs." They also noted "a clear trend towards increased number of non-vellus hairs."





A "Potential Cure" for Male Pattern Baldness



After 12 months of study, the scientists concluded that "procyanidin therapy shows promise as a potential cure for male pattern baldness."



In a third study of 29 balding men, this time for 4 months, 78.9% showed an increased mean value of hair diameter. Increased ratio of thicker hairs was "significantly higher" than placebo controls and the increase in the number of total hairs was "significantly greater."





200% Better Than Minoxidil



Seven different published studies now confirm the profound hair-growth promoting effects of apple procyanidins. In tests on human hair cells, apple chemicals proved twice as effective as minoxidil to promote hair growth. The apple extracts were also clearly superior to less potent grape and grape seed extracts.





Procyanidins Activate Hair Follicle Growth



The richest known source of procyanidin B-2 is the skins of immature (baby) green apples. Polyphenols from apples have an astonishing range of health effects, and may be nature's perfect antioxidant. Many people taking apple procyanidins in pill form notice faster hair growth, stronger fingernails, and softer, smoother skin.



In every study, apple procyanidins have proven completely safe for humans and animals. There is no toxicity, no irritation, and no side effects. This natural hair loss remedy may be nature's best option for millions of people who suffer from thinning hair, falling hair, and male pattern baldness.

Natural Hair Care

Brad Jones



Bromelain Enzyme and the natural hair care Bromelain is one of
several compounds known as proteolytic enzymes, all of which aid
in the digestion of protein. Bromelain supplements are now
included in some of the natural hair care products. The plant
enzyme bromelain has yet to get the hair care product
recommendations. But there is more to bromelain than hair care.



The natural plant enzyme bromelain obtained from the pineapple
is known to provide a number of health benefits as discussed
below.



Bromelain Research By 1891, researchers identified the
proteolytic enzyme bromelain, which they found in the fleshy
part of the fruit. This enzyme was discovered to break down
protein, and as such, is still used to day as a natural meat
tenderizer and digestive aid. By 1957, bromelain was widely
recognized and research also began into such areas as muscle and
tissue inflammation, burn recovery, infection, and even sinus
problems.



The most recognized use for bromelain is as a digestive aid.
This enzyme is commonly used in cases in which an individual's
own digestive enzymes are deficient, frequently resulting from
pancreatic disorders. In such cases, bromelain supplements can
relieve gastrointestinal symptoms including bloating, gas, pain
and cramps from indigestion and diarrhea. Studies show that
proteolytic enzymes like bromelain may also indirectly relive
food allergies thought to occur from a condition called leaky
gut, in which whole protein molecules from foods leak into the
blood causing an allergic or immune response. Bromelain's
digestive properties are particularly enhanced when used along
side other enzymes such as amylase that digests starch and
lipase, necessary for fat digestion. Some laboratory studies
suggest that bromelain may also be useful for reducing bad
intestinal bacteria.



Bromelain is so effective at digesting protein that workers who
frequently cut the fruit often lose their fingerprints to the
active properties of the enzyme. As well as this fruit's amazing
digestive qualities, it is also an excellent source of vitamins
A and vitamin C, a benefit the Spaniards took advantage of on
their many extended trips out to sea.



The fibrous nature of pineapple however, is also known to
relieve constipation, as well ancient cultures frequently used
pineapples to cure jaundice and kill intestinal parasites. Ripe
pineapple juice is well known as a remedy to induce menstruation
and relieve painful periods. Bromelain's photolytic properties
also make this enzyme a natural blood thinner. The digestive
substance in the enzyme breaks down the blood clotting protein
called fibrin, which inhibits circulation and prevents tissues
from effectively draining.



European studies have consistently shown that bromelain is also
an excellent treatment for those recovering from sports injuries
and in tissue repair necessary after surgery.



Evidence suggests that some supplemental enzymes in particular
can be absorbed directly into the circulatory system in their
active form where they then exhibit anti-inflammatory and pain
relieving actions.



Bromelain has proven especially effective when applied directly
to the skin to remove dead tissue resulting from severe burns
that have reached all skin layers. These third-degree burns as
they are known, are extremely susceptible to infection and
swelling. The digestive properties of the bromelain cleanse the
areas and remove the excess dead tissue and as well, its
anti-inflammatory properties may help to reduce the pain caused
by swelling. Countries such as Japan and Taiwan and in the state
of Hawaii where pineapples are abundant, widely recognize
bromelain as a remedy to cleanse wounds. Another interesting use
for bromelain may be as a cough suppressant and nasal
decongestant



Commercial Bromelain: Dosage Commercial bromelain products for
treating number of human and animal disorders are now available
in the market.Health professionals suggest that while choosing a
commercial a bromelain product, choose the enzyme supplement
that uses a variety of other enzymes. It is best to blend
enzymes with activity units at various pH levels to assure
maximum effectiveness.



According to experts, in most cases, bromelain should only be
taken for between 8 and10 days. There are two recognized drug
reactions with bromelain. This enzyme is said to enhance
antibiotics. One study shows that amoxicillin blood levels are
increased when combined with bromelain. Additional studies show
that the antibiotic tetracycline is better absorbed when used in
conjunction with bromelain, however researchers say that further
investigation is still necessary since studies in this area are
conflicting.



If you are taking the herbs gingko, ginger, vitamin C or garlic
or medications such as aspirin or warfarin, a common blood
thinner, bromelain could potentially increase the risk of
bleeding. It is therefore best to avoid this enzyme. In any
case, if you are taking any type of prescription medication, it
is always best to speak with a health professional prior to
adding any herbs or supplements since interactions are often
common.

Natural Cures for Sinus and Ear Infections

Scott Woutersz



During my years of research for Earache prevention, I found that
repeated allergies, sinus, and ear infections are the result of
a "weakened immune system" mainly due to "antibiotic
overuse."
Antibiotics kill good and bad bacteria in the
colon resulting in poor digestion and impaired absorption of
nutrients. So even when I gave my son a healthy diet and vitamin
supplements, he was still having chronic earaches and sinusitis,
because he was not absorbing needed nutrients to keep immune
system healthy and strong.



In addition to impaired absorption, antibiotics damage the
mucosa
(the inner lining of the small intestines) so toxins
that should normally exit the body, get absorbed into the blood
stream instead. Toxins in the blood stream can cause various
allergic reactions such as hives, body aches, sneezing, itching,
and a runny nose. Runny noses and fluid buildup provide the
breeding ground for bacterial ear infections.



A simple remedy is to supplement with Lactobacillus Acidophilus
(friendly flora), which is a good bacteria that will repair the
mucosa by replenishing the natural balance of friendly flora in
the colon that the antibiotics has destroyed. For proper dosage
see my link below.



Other factors that wear down the immune system are:



Stress
Poor diet
Lack of sleep
Food
allergies
Food additives
Food preservatives

Environmental toxins
Toxins from protein digestion








There are thousands of man-made chemicals today that did not
exist a hundred years ago. Today our children's immune systems
are overloaded with toxics and have to work harder to remove
them. Working overtime causes the immune system to run out of
essential elements (necessary oils and enzymes), which are the
fuel it needs to carry on. When your tank is out of gas you fill
it up, right? And likewise, our immune system is no different.
To fuel up we need "basic building blocks" called "amino acids"
(protein) and "essential oils" (omega 3) in order to strengthen
the immune system heal chronic diseases. Toxic overload without
regular refueling will cause the immune system and the liver to
burnout out. The end result is low "immune system function."



Cutting back on processed foods that have toxic food additives
and preservatives can make a huge difference in the health of
your child. Replace processed foods with whole fruits, grains,
and vegetables. You will be surprised how much better your child
will feel. In addition, their attention span will improve and
hyperactivity will be diminished.



One of the most common processed foods to eliminate is white
sugar. Excess dietary sugar is toxic to the body and promotes
fungal infections in the gut, ear, nose and throat. Many chronic
earaches and sinus problems are actually fungal infections.
Instead use an All-Natural Sugar substitute that is safe for
kids called Xylitol. In fact, Xylitol actually prevents
infections.



The goal to long-term healing is to get the immune system
strong again.








First, by improving digestion using natural digestive
enzymes thus improving absorption of nutrients.

Second, is to identify and remove allergens. Research
shows that the vast majority of kids with chronic earaches &
sinus infections are allergic to wheat, diary, and beef. So
eliminating or reducing these foods will bring help bring
healing. Alternative food choices are yogurt, soymilk, lactaid
milk, rice, oats, and etc.
Third, limiting or
eliminating proteins from cow products and replacing them with
easily digestible proteins such as yogurt, and beans. Also,
protein powder drinks chock full of essential and nonessential
amino acids that do not need to be digested only absorbed, are
very important.







1. This is because allergic kids usually have problems
digesting proteins and lack "protease", which is an enzyme
needed for protein digestion.
2. In addition, allergic kids
have trouble removing the metabolic waste from protein digestion
due to enzyme deficiency.
3. Milk and diary products
produce excess flem and mucous in throat and sinuses.







Short-term healing can be achieved by:







Adding all-natural antibiotics in addition to your doctor's
care. Natural antibiotics (colloidal silver) can be administered
both topically (ear drops & sinus sprays) and orally. My
experience when using natural antibiotic eardrops is that ear
pain is gone usually within an hour.
Making a fresh juice
cocktail of carrots, apples, beets, and spinach. This gives
"superior nutrition" and tons of antioxidants very quickly.



Giving lactobacillus acidophilus to restore floral balance in
the colon.







Other helpful strategies include:



Drink more water and eat more fresh unprocessed foods.



Get thirty minutes of exercise and sunshine each day.




1. Exercise creates enzymes in the mitochondria of cells to burn
fat, burning fat = getting rid of toxins from the body. For more
information on this topic follow link below to get a free
e-book.
2. Sunshine is needed for the body to make Vitamin
D3. Most kids & elderly folks can't convert Vitamin D2
supplements into D3, so they have weaker immunity. D3 helps the
immune system recognize & fight invaders.




The "Key" to "Sinus Infection Cure" and "Earache Prevention" is
to get the immune system healthy again by using natural
antibiotics, eliminating toxins, and by improving digestion thus
increasing absorption of nutrients. Once absorption is improved
healthy food and supplementation is necessary to replenish the
immune system. Achieving all this strengthens the immune system
so the body can heal itself.



IMPROVED DIGESTION = BETTER NUTRITION = HEALTHY IMMUNE
SYSTEM

Natural Cellular Defense: Your First Line of Defense Against "Body Burden"

Paula Rothstein



Copyright 2006 Paula Rothstein



The phrase "body burden" has been used by scientists to describe
the heavy load of chemicals that can be found in the average
person - the result of lifelong exposure to industrial
chemicals. Before we are even born, synthetic chemicals and
heavy metals of all kinds begin building up in our bodies as
passed on by the mother through the placenta.



In a study led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in
collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and
Commonwealth, researchers at two major laboratories conducted a
study on nine volunteers (a group consisting of individuals who
were neither exposed to chemicals in their work environment nor
lived near an industrial facility). The results were quite
remarkable. They discovered an average of 91 industrial
compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals in their blood and
urine and a total of 167 chemicals. Of the 167 chemicals found,
76 cause cancer in humans or animals, 94 are toxic to the brain
and nervous system, and 79 cause birth defects or abnormal
development.



While it is difficult to measure a precise picture of human
contamination because chemical companies are not required to
report to the EPA how their compounds are used nor are they
responsible for monitoring where their products end up in the
environment. The above sited study does give us much reason to
be concerned and certainly would explain why such a high
percentage of the public are suffering today from chronic
diseases. The chemicals we cannot process end up accumulating in
our bodies and this growing body burden works to poison our
tissues and exacerbate, as well as cause, disease.



What is different today, and only as recently as August of 2005,
is an easy to use alternative health supplement that is truly
within the reach of all who wish to rid themselves of the
numerous toxins accumulating in their body. Our new line of
defense against an environment we cannot control is a product
called Natural Cellular Defense (NCD), a non-prescription
substance made from natural ingredients. The active ingredient
in NCD is a volcanic ash called zeolite. This is not a new
substance. What is new is the process by which this particular
zeolite is manufactured. It is now available in a liquid form as
a detoxifier capable of removing toxins from the body in a
simple to use formula. It's honeycomb framework of cavities and
channels work at the cellular level trapping allergens, heavy
metals and harmful toxins. Because it is one of the few
negatively charged minerals in nature, zeolites act as magnets
drawing toxins to it, capturing them in its cage and removing
them from the body.



Originally this substance was being looked at by pharmaceutical
companies as a cancer treatment, however, it would take 8 to 10
years and $800,000,000. Because it is a natural substance on the
FDA's list of GRAS (generally regarded as safe) it was brought
to market as a powerful and unique detoxifier. Natural Cellular
Defense is based on extensive research being conducted by
reputable and innovative scientists generally associated with
pharmaceutical medicine and is backed by U.S. Patent. Waiora
acquired the exclusive worldwide distribution rights in August
of 2005.



Results of the research with zeolite are quite impressive. The
following are a few of the function claims made as a result of
this research:



1. One of the most important function claims is NCD's ability to
induce tumor suppressor cells in the body sending mutant or
diseased cells into a state of programmed cell death therefore
eradicating disease.



2. Natural Cellular Defense removes heavy metals, particularly
lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, all of which are associated
with neurological disorders such as autism, Alzheimer's disease
and dementia.



3. Research concludes that NCD blocks the mechanism of viral
replication and therefore promises to work well as a general
non-toxic anti-viral remedy. Research is also suggesting NCD
helps with the common cold and flu, rheumatoid arthritis,
multiple sclerosis and hepatitis C.



4. NCD has been shown to act as an effective detoxification food
for women wishing to become pregnant so as to avoid passing on
toxins and heavy metals through the placenta.



5. NCD creates a natural buffer in the system maintaining a
blood pH level between 7.35 and 7.45 which is the optimal blood
pH and therefore activates brain function and the immune system.



6. Without making any additional dietary changes, NCD improves
nutrient absorption and therefore reduces the risk of
malnutrition. This becomes particularly important as we age and
the body becomes less adept at properly absorbing nutrients from
food.



7. NCD decreases free radical activity by absorbing the free
radical directly into the zeolite's pore thereby acting as an
antioxidant. Because it functions differently than an
antioxidant, NCD works in a complimentary fashion to any
antioxidant drink you may already be taking such as green tea.



8. Zeolites capture triggering antigens which cause allergies,
migraines and asthma.



9. NCD has the ability to trap and destroy nitrosamines in the
digestive tract. Nitrosamines can be found in meat and are
powerful cancer causing agents considered responsible for
various forms of cancer such as pancreatic, leukemia and brain
cancers.



Harvey Kaufman, PhD, the cancer researcher, scientist and
creator of the product, has just completed a study on End IV
cancer patients. These are basically patients who are beyond
further treatment. He is in the process of writing up the
results and is hoping to have them published in The American
Medical Journal. Although Waiora cannot make any claims, it can
provide coincidental anomolies. All 65 patients started NCD 15
months ago, their cancers varied, they were given less than 6
weeks to live. As of today 51 are alive and cancer free.



If you still feel your cabinet full of over the counter
medications and prescription drugs is preferable to a natural
detoxifier, consider this. Treatment using NCD is as simple as
the consumption of 10 drops of a tasteless liquid in water 3
times each day for one month. The maintenance dose is
substantially less, costing just a few dollars each week.



If all the preliminary research and consumer product
testimonials of NCD hold true, this product promises to be one
of the most important discoveries in nutritional therapies and
perhaps the biggest break-through in cancer prevention and
treatment, replacing or at the very least complimenting current
methods of treating cancer as well as a variety of other chronic
diseases prevalent in today's society.



Natural Cellular Defense is a simple answer to complex health
issues currently being addressed to a very large degree by
pharmaceutical drugs. No matter what supplement you may
currently be taking, this is an unique element capable of
detoxifying your body in a way never before possible. In just
one month you could relieve a great deal of your body burden and
have done much to regain your optimal health.

Natural Cure For Heartburn

S P McKenzie



Heartburn, GERD and Acid Reflux are increasingly common these days. A new report suggests that the remedy might be simpler than you think.

Can heartburn really be cured? 'Yes!' says William Lagadyn, author and researcher of the new report titled -Cure Your Heartburn. 'Most cases of Heartburn, GERD, Acid Reflux, Reflux or whatever else they are calling it now-a-days can be cured without drugs, exercise or some crazy diet for the rest of your life. My method is a truly natural cure for heartburn'. Learn more http://tinyurl.com/6s6uh


Approximately 40% of the population suffers from heartburn at least once a week. About 25 million of these suffer chronic heartburn daily. What exactly is heartburn? Heartburn is caused when the acid from the stomach comes in contact with the lower esophagus. If this condition is not corrected it can lead to lesions or scars in the lower esophagus. When stomach acid fumes come in contact with these lesions it can cause severe heartburn pain. This condition, if left untreated, can lead to a variety of serious complications.


According to Lagadyn, most drugs on the market, including antacids and a new class of drugs called PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors) only work at masking the symptoms of the condition without ever correcting the underlying problem. Lagadyn himself suffered from this painful condition and has been heartburn and G.E.R.D free for five years. 'Once I discovered exactly what was happening to my body I was able to clear up my problems once and for all. No more heartburn!', he says, 'Haven't had it in 5 years. I can eat or drink anything I want..feels great!'


Lagadyn's method is a 100% natural cure for heartburn and works with your body to heal the damage caused by the erosion of the esophagus. Most people experience relief in three to five days. 'I did the instructions, it took me 6 days and I feel great. I am back to eating like I used to. No more heartburn. It's gone!' says a grateful customer.
