On the advice of my Homeopath (who is also a qualified Dr) I am drinking 50ml Aloe Juice daily and rubbing 99.9% pure Aloe Gel on my bald patches, bit too early to say if it's working.

I have been using a scalp treatment called Nioxin from a walmart salon and taking hair, skin and nail vitamins made by pharmasure that I get at Rite Aid. I noticed similiar patches of hair when I started using this and I now have a full head of hair. I also have both of my eyebrows and all my lashes again. My hair has been growing strong for about a year and a half. I hope yours comes back strong too. Best wishes to you :)

Have you tried a gluten and/or dairy-free diet? That turned out to be the root of my alopecia areata problem. One thing you might also want to note - since AA is an autoimmune disorder, you might want to try avoiding anything that cranks up your immune system. For instance, I was taking a green tea supplement when my first outbreak started and it exacerbated things because it is a powerful immune booster. It was like throwing gas on a fire. I also have problems with zinc due to this.

I use Nioxin shampoo and scalp therapy. I've used it off and on for 25 years,it helps keep the scalp clean so you get stronger roots. I 've also just stated taking a multi vit. and iron,I do have more growth in the slick spots on either side above the ears. That area has been slick for about 14 yrs.

has red tea worked?

I think it's the medicine(herb) that works.....He told me that I shouldn't drink things like cola,red tea is almost the only beverage i should drink...

I've had AA for almost 15 years now. Nobody in my family has it and I've always felt it was something internal. A year ago I also lost the rest of my body hair except for some eyelashes and some hair on my upper legs. I started seeing a medical intuitive. I was a little skeptical although I grew up with lots of alternative medicine but this person came highly recommended. She cleared a lot of things out and told me to stop eating dairy and that my entire body was covered with mucus from the inside (gross!). I didn't listen right away but I just felt awful all the time. Lots of congestion, wheezing, itchy eyes and more hair falling out. I had been to an allergist but he said I might have food sensitivities but that they couldn't measure that since my reaction wasn't immediate. So finally a few months later I stopped eating dairy and also nuts. I felt a lot better. And about 9 months later some hair started to grow. And then one day I had to start shaving my legs. I NEVER thought I had any kind of food issues. But I strongly believe that it was an underlying issue all this time. I NEVER had any symptoms other then my hair falling out. I recently went to see an NAET (allergy elimination treatment) practitioner. I can now eat most of the foods that I was sensitive too and my hair is still growing. Only time will tell whether my hair will grow back or not. But I think I've finally gotten to the source. So I don't have any particular products that you can use but maybe my journey will help someone else here.

What I don't understand is that I also have MS and am on medication to dampen down my immune system, I can't therefore understand how I now also get AA if my immune system is medicated down???

Hi!

I'm doing bioresonance therapy at the moment. It's not just for the hair loss, but for lots of things. I did get my eyelashes back and lots of them :) (although I guess you can never be sure if it's because of therapy or something else) Anyway, my therapist looks at your body and mind as a whole and tries to figure out what is wrong. She tests for a lot of things with bioresonance, to see if I have any allergic reactions to food for example or if I'm hypersensitive for anything and if so she can correct it with bioresonance and herbal medication. What I like about it, besides the fact that she takes me serious, is that she looks at everything. I think the mind can play a big role in this, for instance if your stressed out your hair can fall out. And I think talking about it good, but sometimes talking only goes so far.... I was at that point, I wanted to do something about it and that's when I started this therapy.
I have no idea if you've ever heard of it, or if I even explained it right. (turns out it's not that easy to explain in English :p) But maybe you can find something about it on google :)
