Alopecia World
Where acceptance is all there is!
Maybe it's the food we eat!
On my way to natural eating and removing the gluten from my diet. Today is my first day. I don't have much money until Friday, so I have to eat what is in the house. It's 2:00 pm and I only ate an apple and some cucumbers with olive oil and vinegar. I have a natural doctor, I just started last month with her. She gave supplements and some food items I should eat and not eat. I've been taken the supplements ,but eating what ever I wanted. I have notice an improvement in my hair. One of our brothers on Alophica World said something about removing gluten from his diet and his hair grew back. If any one have information, including websites please give your input. If you have something to add good or bad let me know. When my daughter return, I will be talking pictures, so we can track my progress together. Oh ya, I'm getting ready to eat a sweet potato when it's finish baking. I will be using "healthy blance" it's a buttery spread.
Our brother Vin from Alophica World saw improvements. so if you want contact him.

I have had problems with chocolate, too. I've figured out that it is the soy in the chocolate that is the real culprit. My major things to avoid are: soy, wheat, corn, and peanuts. These four things are bad news for me and get my scalp, neck, and upper back all inflamed.

I do know that one of my triggers is chocolate, when I eat it, later on I have a reaction in my scalp that's unbelievable. It starts out with itching first, then a sore, then no hair in that area that was itching. So far, that's the only food that I can identify with a reaction. I'm still trying to make a determination with other foods. Maybe we can start a Alopecia Drive, to get funding for more research.....Amen

I'm not doing so well on this gluten free diet. Wait! I want to change that. What gluten free diet. I'm going to the doctor on 2/7 to find out what is causing my allergies. The doctor gave me some medication for my eyes, but the real test will be on 2/7. I will keep you guys posted.

Good to see you Phyllis! Please keep me updated, I need something I can take me. Sometimes when I’m burning I have to handle it, because I'm going out or already out. So the aloe and the oil I blend together is not convenience, so I have to go burning. You want to hear something funny? I’m making a salad for my dinner, I just finish peeling and slicing the cucumbers; BAM! I get a sharp burning pain in one of my spots; I didn’t know what to do! So I slapped a cucumber on the spot, BAM! Phyllis no lie! It cooled it down and it’s been well over an hour, it still feels good. Wow. May I found something! LOL Maybe cucumbers are not just for eating and puffy eyes.

Hi Angie. I've had pretty good success with aloe cream and aloe gel but, the burning hasn't gone away completely. In the last 10 months, the longest I've gone without burning symptoms is 1 or 2 days. I just picked up a small bottle of emu oil yesterday. A clerk at the healthfood store told me it is supposed to be really good for burns and other inflammatory conditions. Today I went back and picked up gel tabs that contain the emu oil. We'll see what happens.

TY Phillis for the in the information. girl burning is not the word. When I feel that burning I put Aloe in that area and it works. I use the aloe plant and jojoba oil in a blender. I save it the refrig and when that burning start, I run like a fire women on the job. check out this website about aloe and inflammation.

I've been trying today to watch what I eat, Im not doing well, because I don't know what I should or should not eat. I called my Doctor who is a licensed naturopathic physician. In the morning I'm going to call an allergist/immunologist for an appointment. Sometimes we can do more harm to our bodies by not taking matters into our own hands. So I'll keep you guys posted.

Vin! Good to hear from you. Thank you for the information. I think I might just go to an allergic instead of guessing. My eyes were so red, last month, I thought it was pink eye, the dr said I had allergy. I said" What" he gave me so eye drops and that was it. During the summer of 2009 my calcium level was high, not good and never normal. I took every cancer test there was. I was stressed; test after test, but then my calcium returned to normal. I was so tried, I slept day and night. well I'll keep you posted. Hey Vin? Take the pledge, we need you here. Ty
