The condition of a dandruff problem in the scalp can usually be stopped through 25-50 mg of manganese sulfate, taken regularly for about 5 days out of a week. The evening primrose oil is taken for 1000 mg, and take that for about every other days. Vegetable oils in the diet and the use of cooking utensils high in metal may aggravate the condition. The oily scalp is sometimes (for me it is often) a sign of zinc deficiency. The zinc gluconate is often 50 mg. taken once every other day, and after two or three weeks, it is then taken once a week. In certain instances, borax dissolved in water, can be used as a hair wash, but not rinsed, left overnight to kill the fungus and mildew issue. The solution can be strengthened if added to a 1% H2O2 solution, and that is kept overnight and rinsed the next day. It's o.k.to towel dry it somewhat, but no rinsing. The borax and peroxide should kill the fungus.
The other issue of hair loss is the problem of collagen and copper and iron utilization which may reduce some free heavy metals, and the vitamin C sodium ascorbate or perhaps vitamin C rose hips 1000 mg x 2 times a day, for about 5 days out of a week should stop hair losses from getting to the extreme. At least it worked for me quite well. If I left anything else, it might be that I will have to increase my immunity and circulation of scalp by taking at least 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water twice a day.
However, I would much prefer to take a 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice, plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day. The citrate reaction, reduces the serum calcium, which tends to clog body tissues, resulting in poor circulation. One additional remedy that may also help is to reduce certain fatty foods (rich foods with vegetable oils) and sugar, while taking 1 tablespoon of granulated lecithin a day.
Hopefully this should solve some of the cause. The others that I have not covered but may be relevant are molybdenum (anti-fungal), lack of iodine, and the nasty habit of eating cassava derived foods, which causes iodine deficiency since it is rich in thiocyanate, and hence can result in other symptoms, of lowered immunity resulting in hair loss too.

Ted from Bangkok, I have seen native people in Mexico that at the age of 70 barely have gray hair the, I agree that our diets have something to do with our health, but I do not think that these people have a good diet. Could you send a photo of people before and after Regards
