Americans especially are severely depleted of copper. I read somewhere that corn syrup sucks the copper out of your body, and corn syrup is in MANY of our processed foods, so thats no surprise. Blackstrap molasses, as someone else said, is one of the best possible natural sources of copper, and is a good supplement for many other problems as well. I'm nearing 60 and have only a few grey hairs, that started appearing after I hadn't taken any blackstrap molasses for quite a few months. When I take the molasses, my hair color slowly comes back. I just add it as a sweetener to tea, or make a tea of ACV and BSM. Takes a little getting used to, but I definitely look and feel better when I take it regularly.

The benefits of B/S Molasses(BSM) purchased at a health food grocery store has been that my new hair growth is my natural color. I began taking BSM January of '09 and a "warbonnet" of 2" of natural black hair is quite visable as of July '09. I intend to keep faithfully using this habit. At first I experimented with coffee then switch to 3/4 cup of filtered water microwaved (hot enough to melt the molasses), 1 Tbl BSM, an allspice mixture (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg) measured to taste, and 1/4 cup Vanilla Soy Milk. [all measurements should be adjusted to drinking container size] I add the BSM & spices together in the hot water to dissolve then add the soy milk to cool down to drink, and to me this taste like pumpkin pie. As to the allspice measurements I premix together in a spice jar and add according to taste. In the beginning I sprinked to get the right flavoring and viola! found it. During the cold months I wanted more flavoring and as a warm drink, now that it's warm using less flavoring for an iced drink. This is a versatile receipe limited only to your imagination -- enjoy." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/hair_gray.html&name=BLACKSTRAPMOLASSES_28277 /CURES/hair_gray.rss3 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 10:12:22 EDT Rena from Mineral Bluff, Georgia writes: "Hi Rob From Manhatten, I've been experimenting with the herb Polygonum Multiflorum, and it does seem to be working but it is very slow. I was at about 35% gray, but recent pictures tells me I have decreased in gray, and natural hair color is coming back little by little. At first I thought I might be under 10% gray now, but the pictures tells me it's more like 20% still gray (wishful thanking I guess). I am making my own tincture, and it seems to be working better than the health food store pills. I still want to give it more time, and am not giving up. I started taking the health food store capsules back in Mid January, 2009, with little effect. Then started making my own Tincture about Mid March, whereas I started noticing some results. So in essence I have decreased gray hair by about 15% in the last 3 months. It is stated on herb pages that it takes approximately 6 months for desired results. I am hoping I can report even better progress within the next 3 months. My partner who is 62 has thinning hair along with gray hair, has only been taking my tincture for about 2 months. He told me his feels like it is getting thicker, and pictures are showing a slight difference. We are both hopeful, but again it is too early to be conclusive. I will report back in a few more months and let those who are interested know.

I mix a spoonful with my coffee in the morning. It's too soon to tell if it is working for my grey hair, but my skin seems to be getting darker. I took zinc supplements for years for my joints. I found out that zinc depletes copper from the body. That is probably why I started turning grey at age 28. Copper is responsible for coloring our hair! It turns out that blackstrap molasses is full of copper. So in theory, blackstrap molasses should work for grey hair. I have talked to one person who had a relative in her seventies with no grey hair. The relative said that her secret was that she too a spoonful of molasses every day. I will write back in a few months with an update on my grey hair." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/hair_gray.html&name=BLACKSTRAPMOLASSES_25269 /CURES/hair_gray.rss6 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT PAUL from DURHAM, ENGLAND writes: "MY QUERY IS ...CAN CAPSULES OF BLACK STRAP MOLASSES BE USED INSTEAD OF THE STICKY ALTERNATIVE?

"It is simply building up too much hydrogen peroxide." http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/29468796/?GT1=43001. Now, I haven't tried BSM yet but I will.

After six months of taking the two remedies daily I was able to stop colouring my hair!!! I couldn't believe it! Now I can actually see when I pull the odd grey out that they are gradually turning black at the folicle. It takes a long time, but the results are definitely worth the wait! I'm not sure whether it's the vitamins or the molasses or if they work together. Daily intake seems to be the key. Also I feel healthy and relaxed.

BSM is not a cure-all. BSM should be taken along with a very healthy diet for best results. If people take BSM and eat a poor diet, use tobacco, drink alcohol, and other things, BSM may not give the results you are looking for. I don't think BSM will help everyone. It might depend on what nutrients one is lacking in." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/hair_gray.html&name=FARMERS_12838 /CURES/hair_gray.rss16 Sun, 04 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT Nancy from San Anselmo, California writes: "Farmer's Almanac: I watched the show once and they said that some kind of butter applied directly to hair helps gray hair." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/hair_gray.html&name=BLACKSTRAPMOLASSESWHEAT_12453 /CURES/hair_gray.rss17 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT [NAY] Donald from Washington, DC writes: "Guys I have tried the 2 tbsp per day (molasses, wheat germ, brewer yeast) and it does NOT work.

People who have brown hair and decend from parents who have brown hair need lots of Niacin one of the B-Complex Vitamins.
