Hi Everyone,

Has anyone tried Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs with any success with helping hair loss?

We have a Community Acupuncture Practice here in South FL. Basically you sit in a group, in these gravity chairs and the doctor places needles in particular points on the body to open up the energy meridians. You sit there quietly for about 45min to 1hr. The herbs are to help balance out what area according to Chinese medicine that is weak. In addition to alopecia, I have other…

I am in the process of writing my book. It is like a hair autobiography (with pictures).  It is not a book about treatment.  Although I had to chuckle while writing to keep from crying, I can feel the healing in the process. Has anyone else already did this or have a journal they have keep over the years?

I am a self-publish author of 4  "how to" books and a BlogTalk Radio host of 2 shows. But this is the first one that is personal. I feel some apprehension for actually putting it on…

I have been wearing the bald head for about 1 month. It still takes a lot of courage to face the looks every day. 7 out of 10 comments from people are they like the way I look or the way my hair is cut. The other times I have received comments said is jokingly fashion "You need to change your shampoo", or"Who scalped you?". I am trying to become not so "thinned skinned" about the comments. It is hard. I normally reply quickly with "you must be jealous" or "you have jokes today". I can imagine… Continue

Family Reunion Picnic is tomorrow. This is the first time the extended family will see me without the weaves or wigs. I have already gotten questions about my bald head from one Uncle, I said it is a medical problem. I will see how many more questions I will receive on tomorrow. Level of anxiety-level 6.
