Six Major Causes of Hair Loss in Men and Women

1. Hair loss cause: Your dental fillings
No dermatologist or trichologist will ever ask you about this, and yet it is one of the most common causes for hair loss in men and women: your dental fillings. And even if you have had most of your toxic fillings taken out, you will still have the heavy metals in your body. Your hair will not be able to regrow unless you do a very specific detox for these metals.

2. Hair loss cause: Toxicity, not heredity
You may have been told that your hair loss problems are hereditary because other people in your family have this problem. However, there are only very few cases where this is true, and chances are you are not one of them. You do not have inherited faulty genes; you have inherited toxicity from your parents. If a woman has toxic dental fillings in her teeth while she is pregnant, she detoxes via the fetus. So even if you don't have any fillings, you still may have toxins in your body from your mother.

3. Hair loss cause: Drugs and vaccinations
If you 'do drugs' even on a casual basis and even if they are not hard drugs, you are giving yourself a small dose of chemotherapy every time, and you know what happens when someone gets chemotherapy treatment in hospital - they lose their hair. But even vaccinations and medically prescribed drugs can upset the immune system so much that hair falls out.

4. Hair loss cause: Foods
Is your diet causing your hair to fall out? There are certain foods that have been found to be detrimental to hair growth because they cause an underfunctioning of the thyroid. Then there is one specific food group that you must cut down on if you are a man with hair loss problems. Another type of food can lead to you losing the hair on your head and your entire body if you are sensitive to this food but keep on eating it.

5. Hair loss cause: Parasites
Parasites are not confined to third world countries; they are all around us. You can easily get them from your pets, from the grass in your garden or from eating food which someone prepared without washing their hands. Parasites live in your body and eat your food so that your hair does not get the necessary nutrients to thrive.

6. Hair loss cause: Stress
If you are having problems with your hair, you may notice that more hair is shed when you get stressed. Stress changes your blood chemistry and can make hair loss worse. If you want your hair back, you will have to do something about your stress. Self-hypnosis is a proven tool and an excellent way to help you become calmer again.
