RED DATES RECIPE NEEDED FOR ALOPECIA
06/16/2008: Kristie writes: "Ted, Can you tell me the recipe for the red dates, honey and apple cider vinegar? Do you use fresh dates, dried, or are they in a pill form? I would like to try this, but would like to know the exact dosages of each and how often it is done, etc. Thank you, so much."

ZINC AND B VITAMIN RECOMMENDATIONS?
01/05/2008: SKB writes: "yes, I believe it might be a difficiency...protien...I was not eating meat for a while and frequent fasts. do you recommend a certain zinc and strength? and b complex?"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "I did start drinking soy as well as a tonic of brewers yeast, lectithin, wheat germ. I take ACV as well. is the lemon with baking soda more beneficial in my case? also would lime work?

If a protein deficiency is indicated, this can also prevent hair growth. An amino acid supplements plus eating steamed whole chicken (liver most important too) twice a week would help a lot. The whole steamed chicken can divided over the course of a day. The whole steamed chicken should not be overcooked but once the meats are no longer tough, that's enough. If the meat is overcooked and dried, it doesn't have sufficient nutrition. Protein and amino acid helps tougher skin. This is why vegetarians sometimes have skin problems and glucose intolerance. There's not enough protein from the vegetables.

ACV and baking soda helps more with the energy levels and inflammation, while baking soda and lemon helps more with circulation as it reduces calcium buildup which sometimes clog a little in the capillaries, but mostly it's the circulation restriction and hence, lemon and baking soda is more effective on this area."

STREAMLINING VITAMINS
01/04/2008: SKB writes: "Ted, thank you. may I ask another...I have just lost hair due to alopecia areata. the 7th time. what are the very important suggestions to streamline vitamins? not the easiest time here. skb"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Usually people with alopecia either had a fungus problem or a deficiency problem. Although people where I live are not very cooperative making it impossible to give a clear remedies, but generally speaking a lemon and baking soda 2 tablespoon lemon plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda taken twice a day, preferably three times a day will help the capillary circulation.

The other is vitamin B complex, zinc, and soy milk (contains manganese). If it relates to a deficiency.

If it itches and a fungus problem a borax mixed with 1% H2O2 (be careful about the concentration not to exceed the figure) are applied to the head for 30 minutes at least before rinse or used as a shampoo. A borax can be used alone with water too, but it requires several months of use. Both the zinc and the borax seems to prevent DHT, but vitamin E is also helpful taken twice weekly.

Most of the problem I encounter is the regrowing of bald heads which is not possible. Doctors actually used hormones to create hair growth, but this also causes facial hair growth and in some cases I have seen is excess body hair growth, everywhere except the head!

Hair loss, for me is a difficult one for me, even if i do have success, if compared to a more fatal heart disease, kidney problems or chronic fatigue. Apparently the fatal kinds required simple answers (electrolytes and pH!) while skin problems and hair problems is due to subtle nutritional problems.

Most general hair problem usually most frequent problems is the zinc the vitamin B complex, and the sodium ascobate vitamin C. If hair loss, is still there it's usually the manganese. Hair thinning, the baking soda and lemon will deal with that problem."

ALOPECIA LEAVES ME WITH SCARS
06/22/2007: Anonymous writes: "Hi Ted, I am suffering from alopecia that leaves me with scars, a condition I have had since I was a teenager, more than a decade ago. Doctors have done their best, but nothing has helped. There are scars all over my head, red and smooth. Hair transplants won't work to cover them, and I have no follicles in the hairless areas to produce new hairs. I have given up on medicines, can you offer another solution?"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "This appears to be a staphylococcus type of infection, which are unresponsive to antifungal medications based on attached information. In my experience, scar formation can also be iodine deficiency, as it causes excess fibroids. The best remedy I can come up with is some epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) 10% with a couple of drops of iodine applied to the scalp, or use this as a cleanser. Finally I would apply thinly with petroleum jelly, to the area to keep the scalp from dryness.

Also I would probably be taking 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water 2 times a day, some vitamin B5 500 mg, B8 500 mg, and sodium ascorbate 250 mg, should be sufficient. Taking kelp supplements once a day I think should raise up sufficient iodine along with at least 250 mg of magnesium citrate taken only 4 days out of 7 days should help.

Also to help healing some aloe vera oil with lavender oil help. To regenerate hair follicles, I would probably get colloidal silver and apply them topically everyday, and take 1 tablespoon of colloidal silver, for at least 6 months, as those in my opinion increase the body's stem cells.

I don't know how hard the doctors tried the antifungals, but the ones I used that worked well for me is the lavender+tea tree oil combination applied to the scalp, 3-4 times a day. Frequency of application seems to be a factor."

MANGE REMEDY OKAY FOR PEOPLE?
07/12/2006: Fleur writes: "Hi, I read about Ted's remedy (for mange). I am trying to find out if the solution he suggests is ok to use on humans. I have alopecia and am convinced mites have a role in it, just like dogs and cats."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Fleur: Yes, you can treat my remedies used for cats and dogs, concerning mange in similar ways you used for treatment of Alopecia, if the possible cause is due to nano-insects and fungus. It must be understood that I don't use the mineral oil, vaseline, and pine sol as recommended by other contributors. All my remedies I designed are done in such a way that it is safe for both humans, cats and dogs. The reason why tea tree + lavender is not given to animals is simple: it is rather expensive and does not stop re-infection. Humans are generally more sanitary than animals, with possible exception of cats, of course.

For humans the one tiny differences is that I would prefer you to use sodium perborate monohydrate (if you can find it), if not then saturated borax solution + H2O2 at 1% concentration after mixing, the apply to area in question, but do not rinse, and keep it overnight. Of course tea tree oil + lavender works in many cases too, however, you need to use it overnight also.

The same is true when you have Morgellons disease (insects under your skin), which worked also. Unless if autoimmune is at issue, my findings were that autoimmune just don't happen because your body is attacking itself, I found quite often it is mycoplasma which just invade the cells, which is why I always use tea tree oil and lavender. Taking plenty of selenium supplements and garlic oil usually as an addition helps too. If hormonal imbalance is at issue, usually a simple way is just taking DHEA (I prefer a conservative 12.5 mg) plus some licorice extract, taken no longer than 1 week period. It is important to always take vitamin b complex as sometimes associated hair loss are deficiency related also."

CICATRICIAL ALOPECIA REMEDIES?
02/03/2006: David writes: "I have been diagnosed with Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia and doctors gave me antibiotics, shampoo and a solution. They also said hair will not grow back. Scalp is smooth and looks like it was burned. Any hope or remedies for this? It still itches and burns sometimes, even after all the treatment I have received."

02/05/2006: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Yes there is a possibility of curing alopecia. Most autoimmune disorders, which in your case the white blood cells attacked the hair follicles. Actually your white blood cells know what they are are doing, but doctors presently don't or can't detect the mycoplasma which is about the size of a virus. However the treatment is a simple one. Apply tea tree oil and lavender oil all night before rinsing in the morning. Don't use shampoo, regardless of what brand you use it makes it worse. Use sodium perborate solution or borax solution to wash your hand. Borax and sodium perborate or even boric acid will kill the parasites in case you have any. Today the parasites are so small you can only see them in high powered microscopes. When using borax or sodium perborate, it is important NOT TO rinse out the borax or sodium perborate from you hair. Just leave it on, but you may dry your hair with a towel. They will continue to do the killing and when you add tea tree oil and lavender together it will kill most of the mycoplasma.

The other recommendation to possibly cure your autoimmune disorder and at the same time encourage hair growth is to eat one cup of oatmeal everyday as it is high in silicon and I now have seen my immune system being restored upon taking silicon supplements I make for myself, which is primarily sodium metasilicate and silicic acid. Sometimes I also use sodium silicate. The usual dose for me is about 100 milligram -200 milligram. For you I will be more conservative and just say 50 milligram should do. Your hair, skin and nail should improve within 3-4 days and possible hair regrowth. Please apply EVERY OTHER DAY, pure aloe vera oil mixed with lavender and tea tree oil to allow regeneration of the scalp over the burned areas."

TEA TREE OIL AND LAVENDER?
08/16/2005: A Reader writes: "I don't have a scalp infection but do have Hair Loss Problem. How often and for how long should I use the tea tree oil & Lavender oil on my scalp? Also, I have an 18 year old friend who (since a little girl) has been combing her long thick hair back into a bun or pony tail. Her front hair has been gradually fallen off. Would the tea tree oil & lavender oil application work for her? If so how often & for how long should she use it? Thank you so much."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Hair loss is usually due to vitamin C deficiency. You must take it everyday, between 250- 1000 mg. I would prefer sodium ascorbate. My own mother who is already 75 years old was suffering severe hair loss, and vitamin C simply solve the problems. However, a second cause of hair loss is fungus infection and you just use the tea tree/lavender for only once a week for a month and thats all. You don't need to do too much since the oils are quite strong anyway. These two remedies should solved most of the hair loss problem. In case it still don't work as well take some silcon supplements and/or vitamin D. They will improve the skin and the epidermis as well as hair growth."

Ted follows up: "First off, most fungus medications and shampoo do not work. The ones I used have been proven to work against fungus. It doesn't hurt to try and if it works fine. The second problem is whether it is a fungus problem. For one thing, hair growth problem is usually a sign of mineral imbalance usually the most common is mineral deficiency across the board. Get your hair mineral analysis done. The third factor, taking vitamin D and fulvic acid seems to really help with hair growth. You should see it within two weeks. The fourth factor is eating too much salted food seems to be a factor in preventing hair growth, this too and the drinking of softdrinks that contain aspartame seems destructive for hair growth due to relatively high formaldehyde from breakdown of aspartame which depresses the growth of hair follicles."
