I'm curious about this too... we had an appointment with one a week ago and are doing some food allergy testing and vitamin/mineral absorption testing as well. I hope something good comes out of this. I'm wondering if others had success with seeing a naturopathic doctor as well!

Good luck with the naturopath Kathy. Seeing them might be beneficial to your health, scratch that... will be beneficial to your health, but as Aimee said treatment for alopecia its sooooo hit and miss that its hard to be sure what works and what doesnt. I have a family friend with alopecia whos seen one for a while and there has been little to no improvement. Remember this disorder is part you and you will ever cure it.... you may treat it, you may go into remission (i hope that it does for you). The best treatment i have ever had was the cortizone injections. its great for small patches of loss and it did bring some hair back for me.... its not pain free, but from what i have tried its the best option for us right now. If u have lost more that 50% and you are still wanting to treat it i suggest you look into light therapy.... i havent tried it but i have heard positive things.

Good luck.
