Has any one tried the paleo autoimmune protocol?
For those who don't know, the paleo autoimmune protocol is a special diet that helps with autoimmune diseases. I was wondering has anyone here with AT or AU tried this and had any success? Was it hard?

I was on AIP for 2 months. I have AU, with some regrowth that occurred beginning of this year. Aip was pretty hard especially first month, second was easier. However, i didn't see much difference with regrowth:( . After 2 months, I have added eggs and nuts and I am still following that type of diet( almost 4 months total) and it is still about the same. The little hair I have on my head is not falling off but there is no new growth... Nothing on eyelashes or eyebrows....

I have had AA for almost 2 years now. It started as a few patches then went to about 25% hair loss. It completely grew back to 100%, this all with no change in diet or lifestyle. A few months later it completely fell out. I noticed it was really bad after a night of heavy drinking. That was about 18 months ago and I switched to a full paleo approach 6 months ago. I have had full regrowth but was just mostly peach fuzz and in the last month since adding omega 3 eggs to my diet i have noticed alot of pigment returning to my hair. I was not strictly 100% paleo for the whole 6 months. I had a few nights out of drinking and probably 10 days worth of cheat meals or I would more than likely be experiencing better results. In the end, I am happy with the regrowth. I FEEL WAY better, played some of the best sports of my life. I am still self conscious about not having hair. I know it will get better and its a tough hard battle. Keep your head up :)

I have always wanted to try the Paleo diet for AU. I have lost all my hair all and if I have to change my lifestyle of eating I will be more than happy to learn more.or if.you would.like.to join with me together and sharing meal ideas. I have read a lot about this leaky gut. Read Eat Dirt it will tell you all about the auto immune and eating I would love.to hear more about lifestyle changes to promote hairgrowth.

It was abit tricky at first. I keep my meals VERY simple. I just cook meat (chicken,beef,fish, or pork) add only salt to that. Then alot of fruit and vegetables. Recently just added eggs in. I followed The Paleo Approach: Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal Your Body
Book by Sarah BallantyneI would probabaly have 100% regrowth if i didnt fall off the wagon a few times. But now i am committed to following it through and getting it done.

Has anyone experimented with marijuana? My AA started during a stressful time in my life. After 5 years it's now AU. The stress in my life diminished some, but still exists. I'm thinking pot may help.

Hello all. I was diagnosed with AA in 1996. Over a yr ago I decided no more modern medicine & old ways of thinking, I was exhausted & felt like a guinea pig with no clear answers. I read Epi-paleo rx, the prescription for disease reversal & optimal health writen by Jack Kruse which was recommended by my pyschologist. The book inspired me to look into a more holistic approach for healing. I went paleo, organic, non-gmo, limited my oil intake replaced with ghee. Changed my lifestyle. Took up yoga & meditation. Started respecting my body's circadian rythems, I wake up to natural light & not man made blue light. I take lots of vitamins daily, with coconut water mixed with organic apple cider vinegar & pink Himalayan salt. I have not had any bald spots in probably over a yr. I estimate around April of 2016. Since before 1996 I haven't not had a bald spot some where on my scalp until now. Prior to 2016 I had already switched my shampoo, conditioner, body soap, laundry soap to a cleaner chemical free or natural based cleaners. I now have set a goal for myself with natural sun blockers as well. After 2016 I switched up my tooth paste & deodorant as well. I also am mindful of my water intake & it's ph level. I am more aware & in tune with my body & it's needs with the help of a chiropractor & some acupuncture.
I do get off track occasionally & could always discipline myself harder, but these changes seem to balance my endocrine system well & if my spots return I will discipline myself more. So far, I'm pretty confident I've found what works for me. Good luck to you, I hope you find what you are searching for. ♡
