Treat Alopecia with Zero Carb Keto Diet

I do like Twitter for the dedication on the part of many people, doctors, scientists, and other professionals to help with their insights.  It's something, and you can't beat something with nothing.  And of course, we're all limited to 280 characters to get our point across.  The result is that we're all forced to talk in shorthand, which is why if anybody wants any traffic to their message or views, you really need a blog or website to organize your thoughts and arguments, then simply place a link to your site in your tweet.  Wouldn't hurt to avail yourself of bitly.com either. 

All this to say that you can often get more claims about some food, vitamin, mineral, or herb to fix this or that than you are to get any concrete proof.  The best we can do with claims is to simply try the products being recommended.  The worst that can happen is that you'd be out the time you devoted to the product as well as the financial commitment to see some results.  So that's where we're at.  Otherwise, you can spend hours combing through the scientific articles and inscrutable conclusions over at NCBI.  That can be fun.

The human chorionic gonadotropin diet, hypocaloric diet, and increased fish, buckwheat, and millet groats consumption were possible triggers of alopecias such as AGA, AA, telogen effluvium, or frontal fibrosing alopecia.

Zero-Carbo Keto diet makes sense to restore hormones.

A strict keto / zero carb diet can also induce telogen effluvium.

Here we have red laser hats.

The red laser hats work for many. They are a bit pricey though.

And then pea protein in for the rescue.

Pea protein can greatly assist with regrowth . A weekly scalp treatment consisting of pea protein, castor oil and rosemary essential oil can work wonders.

But I think the hair restoration involves a handful of ingredients, biotin being a key one.

My SIL is a hair stylist who had the same thing happen after her covid. She swears by daily biotin, collagen and fish oil.

1,600 + Reports of Hair Loss Following COVID-19 Shots

The prescient Bill Sardi noted this hair loss last August 2020, from COVID alone, long before the vaccine rollout.  He writes,

Researchers theorize the same male hormones that provoke hair loss may be linked to the propensity of COVID-19 patients experiencing hair loss.  In fact, men with baldness may be more prone to COVID-19 infection itself. 

So it looks like severely intense experiences, like a serious illness, can cause hair loss.  This then becomes quite a statement about the vaccines are: a toxin. 

As many as 70% of the scalp hairs are then shed in large numbers about 2-3 months after a “shock“.  This sudden increase in hair loss (hair falling out in handfuls) is called acute telogen effluvium.  High fevers, childbirth, severe infections, severe psychological stress, major surgery or illnesses, over or under-active thyroid hormone, crash diets with inadequate protein, and a variety of medications– retinoids, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antidepressants and anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) — are causal. 

I'd read a few years back that pumpkin seed oil is important for hair health and hair restoration.  Looks like Sardi underscores this fact.  He writes that all you need is 400 mg of a daily dose.  

Pumpkin seed oil is a natural 5-alpha reductase enzyme inhibitor.  A 400-milligram daily dose of pumpkin seed oil has been found to restore hair (40% increase in hair count, for men –and women in this author’s experience).  (Pumpkin seed oil completely eradicated this author’s bald spot and at age 75 I have a full head of hair!). This is photo-documentation of the positive effect of pumpkin seed oil on hair loss:
