Ive had alopecia universalis for 7 years now. I’ve tried injections and topical creams with no luck. After finding out that alopecia is caused by and autoimmune response I knew that the majority of treatment options that most of us are offered won’t work because even if we grow all our hair back our immune system will just attack it again. These past 7 years have allowed me to come to understand not just Alopecia but orther autoimmune diseases in general. After having done so many google searches, pouring through books and a doctors verification I’ve finally found the source of not just alopecia but autoimmunity in general and how to treat it naturally and side effect free. All autoimmune disease starts out first with a condition known as leaky gut syndrome. At first I was skeptical and dismissed it thinking that your digestive system has nothing to do with your scalp and immune system and boy was I wrong. Your intestines make up the majority of your immune system and I got curious and decided to go to a gastroenterologist to see if I had leaky gut syndrome. To my surprise I did. The doctor recommended a change in diet and to consume probiotic supplements to allow for more healthy gut bacteria. Pretty much what happens with leaky gut syndrome and why it is the origin of all autoimmune disease is that at some point our digestive system, primarily the small intestine, becomes sensitive to foods found in the average diet such as dairy, gluten, red meat, eggs. When we consume these foods our small intestine becomes inflamed. Once it is inflamed our immune system kicks in and tries to reduce the inflammation at the source i.e the foods that caused the inflammation. We are unaware of these sentivities because ours bodies don’t react to the foods in an immediate or drastic way like it would in the event of a food allergy. Being unaware of these sensitivities we continue to consume these foods and our immune system is in a constant state of overdrive. Eventually the inflammation causes small microscopic tears in our gut lining thus the term “leaky gut”. At this point when we consume the foods that we’re sensitive to certain proteins and other materials that our gut would have filtered out as waste make their way through the tears in our gut lining and into your blood stream. Now this is where the autoimmune response occurs. Because our immune system spent so much time fighting the proteins in the foods that we’re sensitive to, if those proteins appear in other parts of the body it can cause the immune system to get confused and attack parts of your body thinking it’s attacking the food proteins that caused inflammation. The reason why this happens is because some proteins found in foods can be the same or extremely identical to the proteins that make up certain parts of our body. One protein that has been discovered to mimic a part of our body is a protein known as A-1 casein which is actually what our pancreas is made up of entirely. So for example if you have leaky gut syndrome and you consume dairy your immune system will grow accustomed to fighting off A-1 casein but eventually it will get confused from having fought it so much and it will register your pancreas as just a wad of A-1 casein and try to eradicate it thinking it’s an intruder which would then cause a pancreatic autoimmune disease. Scientists still haven’t found all the food proteins that are similar to parts of our body so it is not yet known what food protein causes our immune system to fight our hair. What is evident is that this is how leaky gut syndrome is the origin of all autoimmune disease. Topical treatments only treat symptom which is why dermatologist have not had any luck with any treatment let alone a cure. Changing your diet to avoid inflammatory foods and foods that cause sentivity will allow for your digestive system to heal and patch up the tears in the gut lining and allow for your immune system to calm down due to a lack of food protein getting past your gut lining and waste invasion. I read a leaky gut diet book and have been following the diet for two months now. Ive had alopecia universalis since I was 15 and now I’m starting to get my eyebrows back and even beard and mustache hairs which I’ve never had prior to Alopecia. This is our cure and it has no side effects and by proxy will heal other conditions such as asthma and eczema which have been greatly alleviated after this diet. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask.

Wow!  Learn to use a paragraph break.  Your solid post is too hard to read as it is, so I didn't.  And, I was interested in what you have to say.

Treatment of hair loss by oil control
People always have such an erroneous idea that if you shampoo less, you will lose less hair. In fact, hair loss is not directly proportional to the number of shampoos. If the hair has a large amount of oil, shampooing on the head may result in blockage of grease on the head. Hair follicle pores, cause hair loss, so friends who are easy to get out of the oil is to wash your hair to open up the pores of the hair follicles, the correct treatment of hair loss through oil control.

Hair loss treated by diet
Diet is also very important for the correct treatment of hair loss. On the one hand, excessive oil intake can lead to large amounts of oil on the skin. If the shampoo is not timely, it will cause pore blockage and indirect hair loss. On the other hand, kidney deficiency is also the cause of hair loss. , So diet to pay attention to eat kidney foods such as leeks, sesame seeds, red beans, dog meat, etc., is also an effective way to correctly treat hair loss.

ok,sorry, I was wrong.

I have found a way to help you: Keep Chemical Services to a Minimum

Color, highlights, and perms make being a hair stylist great (and profitable), but changing your hair regularly with chemicals can slow your hair's growth significantly. If you must color your hair, try demi-permanent color instead of permanent, and opt for partial highlights rather than a full head of them. Give your hair as much time between services as possible. Chemical treatments, especially highlights and perms, can cause hair breakage, and if your hair is breaking off, it's not getting longer. By giving your hair a rest, your hair will appear to grow faster because it will endure less breakage.

Interesting

I went from a mass of thick hair to AU within 6 months in 2015.

I cover mine and wear fake lashes, tattooed brows etc and although I hate it, I've accepted it.

I recently (4 weeks) started taking probiotic supplements for IBS and not only is my IBS soooo much better but I've grown back a fine covering of hair on my head and a few body hairs - none on my eyebrows or lashes yet but a smattering elsewhere. This is the first time I've had ANY regrowth which got me interested in the leaky gut link. 

Anyway, it may be co-incidence but following on from this small success I am going to start the GUT diet tomorrow and keep taking the live bacteria supplements and see how it goes.

I'm expecting to lose some weight, hoping to heal my IBS and just wondering if I will get any hair regrowth - I shall keep you updated.
