[YEA] 11/17/2007: Saima from Edinburgh, uk writes: "I am a 70 year old grand and great grand mother with absolutely not a single grey hair ! My secret... Coconut oil which I had applied daily in my youth on my hair (though I haven't used it for sometime now ). My son's head is almost entirely grey . He doesn't listen... Try it .It's cheap because I never used the expensive organic or extra virgin variety . It beats the expensive supplements! I've recommended to many very happy friends."
03/06/2008: Ann from Brisbane, Australia replies: "Hello, I am interested in the coconut oil treatment for grey hair that Saima recommends. Would you have to apply it every day and wouldn't this be very greasy and inconvenient?"

[YEA] 05/19/2007: Riki (abzee@email.com) from DaLian, China writes: "oh yes! 3%...I heard a hairdresser say that 30% is OK but I dillute it so that 100ml goes into 500/600ml. If my calculations are correct then it will work out about 0.3% in the shampoo. When I just brush it into my hair then I use 3% and I only keep it 5 minutes or so......I don't think I will keep it in for 30 minutes!"

[YEA] 05/14/2007: Riki (abzee@email.com) from DaLian, China writes: "I am sorry I was not clear. You can try two methods.
First I take a bottle of shampoo (i work in ml...hahaha 500ml or 600ml and use some until I can fit about 100ml H2O2 in the bottle, about a 1/4 cup of H2O2). I pour it in and shake the bottle. You have to shake the bottle everytime you use it otherwise the H2O2 comes out first (it is floating on the top). Wash you hair as normal and rinse it. If you can keep it on the hair a few minutes do so. If you keep it on very long like 30 minutes every time your hair will start to become lighter so be careful if you don't want the colour to change.
The second method is more direct and I use it when I feel my scalp needs rejuvenation. (I live in China and I think the water here is not clean and sometime my scalp ich from irritation or dryness). I then just wet my hair and comb in some H2O2 and leave it on to dry. It smells a little but when you then wash and rinse your hair it becomes very soft and shiny.
I have been doing this since the '70s and my hair is really in good condition. I am also happy to report that I have no grey hair! a nice side effect. Regards"

[YEA] 05/13/2007: Riki (abzee@email.com) from DaLian, China writes: "I have used H2O2 as a mouth wash and cleaning open wounds for nearly 40 years and it always work. I read about all the other remedies on this site! One idea I haven't seen is: I use shampoo out of a bottle until I can pour 100ml H2O2 into it. I have to shake the bottle when I want to use it. I have stayed blond and have no grey hairs and it keeps my scalp healthy."
04/05/2008: John (jgcg@rogers.com) from Kitchener, Ontario Canada replies: "I was wondering,the remedy for the h2o2 mix with the shampoo.Is this remedy good for just light hair, or is it good for dark hair also. thanks"

[YEA] 08/27/2006: Martin from Alameda, CA writes: "I used Bill Munro's inhalation remedy a while back. First thing I noticed was my hair was turning back to brown, from being silver/brown. Also noticed after taking it for the first couple times, when I breathed in, it felt like for the first time I was using ALL of my lungs. This is a VERY WEIRD FEELING ! It's as if your whole life you're only using half your lungs. One thing I want to add. Walgreens may not use stabilizers in their 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. If you look on their label, its not listed on there. All the other brands list stabilizers. I'm hoping that means they don't add stabilizers. Maybe other people can comment on this. Anyway, I stopped using the remedy, but only because I got lazy. But now looking at the sliver creeping back into my hair, my ego and vanity will take over and put me back on the regime. Sigh.........Oh well at least I'll beat all my competition on the tennis courts. Via condias Amigos. ----------- Ps. Another amazing cure for everything from Fibromyalgia to cancer is Glyconutrients. Look it up on the net."

I am 200 pounds and am taking 8-10 drops of Lugol's daily. My dog, at about 100 pounds, gets 4-5 drops daily"

[YEA] 11/25/2007: Sarah from Sydney, Australia writes: "Hi I've been using Melancor for just over 6 months-I had about 50% grey hair - it started working within 3 months - yes I still have some grey hair but it is gradually turning black again and my hair line which was thick with a widows peak has grown back in. I guess it's an individual thing what works for some doesn't work for everyone. So I am sold on the Melancor which is only Vit Bs and Folic Acid.No more hair dying for me."

[NAY] 09/14/2006: D from Bloomingdale, IL writes: "I used Melancore for 1yr and it did nothing for my hair! I'm way too young for gray hair, and it only got worse throughout the year. It has a money back guarantee but when you contact them they will not email you back or tell you that you have to speak with another dept but they cant contact you with them or give you a number. Its a SCAM! DO NOT BUY MELANCORE!"

[YEA] Bertha from Phoenix writes: "I have had lots of gray hair since I was around 25. Last year, I bumped into "Melancor" and decided to give it a try. I had read Adelle Davis's books where this great woman explained how certain B vitamins and a good diet can restore natural hair color. When I read about Melancor and its formula I decided to buy it. I started taking it as prescribed and , in about a month, I could see about 30% or more of my hair recover its natural color. I stopped taking Melancor for about 8 months in order to see whether my hair color stayed the same and... IT HAS!. Now I am thinking of going back to Melancor in the hope that I will be able to get more hair restored to its original color."

[YEA] 11/17/2007: Janet from Leicester, UK writes: "I was astonished to find my 16 year old son had not 1 but over 23 grey hairs . On speaking to my Asian neighbour , she advised me to massage him daily before bed generously with mustard oil (available very cheaply from asian shops ).Then wash his hair in he morning . After two weeks not a single grey hair ! I tried the same on my self over 40 and over half of my head is grey .So far in one week there' is a marked decrease in the number of grey hairs."
07/04/2008: Brian from Surrey, British Columbia replies: "I am writing in response to Janet who says she uses Mustard Oil for grey hair. I am looking to find out what kind of mustard oil because everything that I have found is poisonous. Some companies won't sell it because of the hazard."
07/11/2008: Jane from Redlands, California replies: "You will be able to find mustard oil in any asian or indian grocery shop. It is very popularly used in India - esp north and east india. Hope this helps. I too am an Indian and have started having too manu grey hair suddenly and am only 27. I've started applying mustard oil and hoping it will help."

[YEA] 01/18/2008: Rosemary from Toledo Ohio, USA writes: "In my opinion the best remedy for Grey Hair, and this will restore it to its younger time in some people.
Plenty of whole grain Breads and Cereals which contain lots of wheat germ and bran for Brown Haired people, and some blondes who decend from Brown Haired Parents.
Some Blondes decend from Black Haired and Red Haired Parents and they need plenty of Thiamine and Folic acid in their foods.
People who have brown hair and decend from parents who have brown hair need lots of Niacin one of the B-Complex Vitamins.
I also make sure I'take a good multiple vitamin every day plus I get enough Vitamin C and Calcium and I also make sure I take a good B-Complex and at an advanced age I have found I can turn my hair back to Gray or color it naturally simply through diet, more rest and less stress.
This all comes to me from a Guide in the Spirit World much like Psychic Edgar Cayce got his information from."

[YEA] 01/18/2007: Kathy from West Salem, IL writes: "My mother always was into the pickle jar. She loved vinegar. She really never got grey hair because of this .so folks, eat the pickles if you want to keep grey away. Myself I began using soy protein and one day after washing my hair my daughter commented "Why are you dying your hair." I had just washed it ..so this was a surprise to me to find that soy powder had done this. I also was using B complex so maybe that combination had some benefits too."

[YEA] 12/24/2006: Charlane from San Antonio, TX writes: "Granny was spot on with the apple cider vinegar. She was pH balancing. You can get the same effect but eating an orange or drinking lemonade everyday. You can supplement with 500 - 1000 mg. of vitamin C but this will work to counteract all of that acidic coffee, chocolate, sausage, etc. that we eat regularly. Yes, citrus is acidic but it ALKALINIZES the blood. If you pH is at least 7, you will never get cancer or a fever or a cold either. It works. Just do a search on the internet for pH diet and check out the lists of foods. BTW, I use honey everyday. In addition to being a perfect food, local honey keeps you from getting allergies with bees being kind enough to collect pollen from all of the nearby plants. I never get sick anymore either."

[YEA] 08/03/2006: Dauri from Idaho writes: "Patti, please tell me how much of the apple cider vinegar and honey and apple juice were in the 1 cup of the total mix that your 96 yrs young cousin used.... I do want to try it, thanks."

[YEA] 06/28/2006: Patti from Marietta GA writes: "I have a cousin who is 96 years young. Since she was a young girl she has drank a mixture of apple juice, ACV and honey every day, once a day (about a cup). Her hair is a light brown - NO GRAY AT ALL!! It was always a medium brown until she turned 90! She told me years ago to drink this and I didn't - I wish I had listened!!"
08/04/2008: Allen from Valrico, FL replies: "What is the formula (how much of each) for your grandmothers's cup of Apple Juice, ACV and honey?"

[YEA] Lynne from Anchorage, Alaska writes: "I came upon my grey hair remedy purely by accident! Am 49 and have been gray since 17. For the past 30 years have dyed my hair but finally got tired of it. Let it go. Was shocked at how gray I had become!
About 2 months ago, my husband was told his red blood cells were of low count, so I went to Wally world and bought him some Spring Valley brand Natural Super B Complex. We both started taking it.
A few weeks later, he said the sides of my hair were turning brown. I hadn't noticed, as I only look in the mirror to comb my hair really quick. Sure enough, I saw brown hair at the roots!
So, I'm wondering if some people like myself have been living with a Vitamin B deficiency our whole lives. I remember being a kid and having to go to the doctor for B complex shots because I was so tired all the time (at the age of about 11).
Maybe this will help someone. In another couple of weeks, I'm going to have a haircut and will report back what appears after that!"

[YEA] 06/07/2007: David (JhnsnDavid@Yahoo.com) from Titusville, FL writes: "I just turned 60 and I still have my brown hair. I attribute this to taking B vitamins in a 50 mg. complex (50 mg. of each B vitamin in one capsule), and two or three 800 mcg. of folic acid tablets. The B vitamins are known to be a stress reliever. Remember the old saying how kids can give you gray hairs? It's true! Stress can make the gray come in! The B vitamins inositol and choline are important for the color of your hair. Did you know that some wool companies deliberately make their sheep deficient in these two B vitamins so that the wool will be much whiter?! Folic Acid also helps with hair growth and had been named after the word Folicule, meaning hair! Looking younger than your age and knowing that you didn't dye your hair to look younger makes people ask if you found the fountain of youth! Try the B vitamins and folic acid for at least 6 months and you make notice a great change!"
03/20/2008: Jim Nazium from Rutherford, NJ, USA replies: "I'm 39 years old and been suffering from gray hair since the age of 27. I would like to try Vitamin B complx and Folic Acid. Do I need to take Vitamin C and Folic Acid alone (each in a separate capsule) or would taking a multi-vitamin which includes Vitamin C and Folic Acid be just as effective? In other words, with all of the many other vitamins and minerals in a multi-vitamin, would the folic acid and vitamin C be as effective in a MV compared to just taking a Vitamin C capsule and a Folic Acid capsule?"

[YEA] Doug from Phoenix, Airheadzona writes: "It's an Edgar Cayce remedy and it truly works to cure grey hair. Peel the skins of 2 white potatoes and tie them up in patapar paper. Put them in a pan and let boil (just a slight boil) for 12 to 15 minutes. When done, let it cool for a few minutes and eat the skins. Also, drink the water. I, personally use 3 to 4 cups of water. Do this every other day, and in a few months you will see a tremendous difference. You will notice some difference in a few weeks, but be patient. Good luck."
EC: Patapar Paper is Vegetable Cooking Parchment. Easy to find on the internet, just do a google search.
