Magnetic hair loss products Magnet therapy (or magnetic therapy) has been widely used to treat a whole range of conditions and diseases including hair loss. Several magnetic hair loss products are available. These include: A magnetic hair brush. A magnetic helmet. A plastic roller (with plastic teeth on the outside and magnets on the inside). First of all, let me state the obvious: magnet therapy does not involve "pulling" the iron in your blood around your scalp follicles - you do not have tiny pieces of metallic iron floating around your body, and your blood is not magnetic! The iron in your body is attached to a protein called haemoglobin. Oxygen bonds with this organic form of iron and is then circulated by your red blood cells. There is no product that can create an increase in circulation through any magnetic force of attraction. So, how does magnet therapy work? And can it really help your hair? A magnetic field can move (or spin) electrons and also ionize (charge) oxygen atoms within water (and therefore blood). This is called ionisation by magnetic induction (IMI). Apparently, the oxygen ions that magnetic fields create through IMI can restore normal blood pH. Most people have slightly acidic blood (i.e., low pH) usually due to excessive protein consumption. Cell walls and capillaries are pH sensitive. And, if the blood pH is acidic, blood flow and therefore oxygen delivery will be restricted. So, by restoring normal pH, a magnetic field may improve circulation. In fact, it has been recorded that, in some cases of extremely poor circulation, a 300% increase in blood flow has occurred within minutes of applying a magnetic field. Obviously this suggests that magnet therapy may help improve the blood supply to your scalp and therein help your hair grow. Blood treated in one part the body will circulate to all other parts. This means that you only need one magnetic product, and can apply it anywhere to gain the benefits it produces. In other words, you can wear a magnet on your wrist - you don't need to strap one (or roll one) around your head! Also, you can wear a wrist strap magnet 24 hours per day, but it's unlikely that you would use a magnetic roller or brush for any more than maybe 10 minutes per day. I myself wear a very powerful magnetic wrist strap. However I should stress that this is not how I managed to stop my hair loss and start growing healthy hair again - I only started wearing it several years after I found success with my own hands-on techniques. I wear it because, as a nutritionist, I know that maintaining a balanced blood pH is healthy. And, whether it helps or not, wearing it is completely effortless. Whilst any beneficial effect magnetic products could have on your hair growth might be unclear, the magnetic roller should help increase scalp circulation through rolling the hard teeth over your scalp. But, this raises the question: why pay $50 for a device when you can simply use a hard toothed comb for free? Try it! Grab a firm, fine-toothed comb and press it into the scalp. How hard you press and for how long is up to you. But there's no doubt that it will increase blood flow locally for a short time. You can test this by pressing the teeth of the comb into say the soft tissue on your hand. Very quickly it will turn red (which, of course, indicates that there's an increase in blood flow to the surface of your skin). You'll be surprised how long it remains red. Note: you have to be careful with this idea - the blood flow represents a reaction to the trauma you're putting your skin under - if you press too hard and for too long you may make the skin raw and could even cause bleeding. Also, if you lie face down on a bed with your head over the end while doing this exercise, you'll be using gravity to assist you. This will further encourage blood to flow to your hair roots, making this idea even more effective. So, there you go, I've just saved you $50! Whether or not you want to spent $50 for a magnetic roller is your choice of course: you can research the Magro roller product here: http://www.top-hair-loss-remedy.com/magnet-therapy.html I myself did not use the magnetic roller.

The topics discussed during the conversation included families and children, professional activities, work, and projects as well as various events going on in the world. There was one particular subject that was somewhat unpleasant that was not mentioned until near the end of the visit. This subject had to do with money and a very large sum indeed that had been loaned to this person many years ago and was never repaid, not even one dollar. For many years, I was angry, disappointed and carried a grudge because of being taken advantage of in this financial situation.  There was a time when this conversation would have been dominated by questions of why I didn't get my money back or when are you going to pay me, or ........ But during this conversation, I didn't feel any of these emotions and when he brought it up and said that he still hoped to pay me one day if he could and if he didn't he would like for me to forgive him.  When I thought about it, I realized that I had all ready done so, and all of my negative emotions were long gone. So, why do I mention this here in this newsletter?  Well, I think that unresolved anger and hostility can work in the subconscious mind and have a detrimental effect on any one of us without our being aware of it.  Last week, while checking to see if the blood pressure cuff worked in the office, my blood pressure was 104/68 and I realized that in spite of all of the external factors that could cause it to be higher including the unpaid debt, I have been fortunate to maintain it at this level since medical school when my reading was usually 98/64. So, part of the quest for lifelong health and beauty should include not carrying a grudge and letting go of anger and hostility so that your body does not suffer the consequences.  Readers, Do you have something that you need to let go of? Are there any grudges that have been around far too long? Is now a good time to let go? Today's health tip is about a 7 Step Blueprint to Wellness.  Please use it for your personal benefit.   Health Tip of the Week Blueprint For Wellness- 7 Step Guide To Maintain Your Health Are you curious about things that you can do to build yourself a blueprint for wellness?  A blueprint for wellness can be done on a few different levels.  Perhaps you'd like to lose ten pounds, or just develop more stamina or better cardiac health.  This leads us into the first step of building your new plan. Determine what you want to accomplish - Your job is to figure out, in detail, what it is you'd like to achieve.  Goal setting is a key factor in being successful at anything and this is no different.  Gain Knowledge - Once you have your goals figured out go online and find others who have accomplished what you're trying to do.  If you're not able to do as much as them, that's fine, start at your own pace.  There are plenty of websites out there that will help you. Put Yourself On A Schedule - Organization is a wonderful thing and that includes your time as well.  If you need to get up in the morning to get some exercise done to get it out of the way, give yourself an extra hour in the morning before you have to go to work. Diet Will Make Or Break You - You're going to have to get to it sooner or later, so why not now.  Start replacing at least one thing that you like to eat with something healthy.  Something I did was to eat vegetables with ranch dressing.  No the ranch isn't good and you should replace it eventually, at least you'll be eating vegetables instead of junk food. Start A Journal - Documentation will serve several purposes.  It will make your goals seem more real to you, allow you track your progress, show you where you can do better and keep your eye on the prize.  A blueprint for wellness is exactly that, a visual representation of what you want to accomplish. Take Your Lunch To Work - I know all too well how easy it is to fall into running through the drive through at lunch at work when you're rushed.  Making your own lunch will be more healthy for you, save you money, and you'll also find that you have more time to just slow down during the day and truly take a break.  Making your lunch does not mean a TV dinner or preservative filled box of stuff.  Tell Others About Your Plan - Telling your friends or relatives will give you some accountability.  Find at least one person that you can hold yourself accountable to.  Sticking with a program like this is almost the hardest part.  We can all do things for a few days, a week, or even a month.  If you want it to last, you've got to stick with it. Building a blueprint for wellness isn't a tough thing to do.  You've got to have a little creativity and the willpower to get those first steps done.  Steven Covey, author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" said it takes about 30 days to make something into a habit.  If you can stick with things that long, then you'll be well on your way to a healthier, happier life.

Hi Readers Here's Your Hair Loss Newsletter

How Skull Expansion Explains Successful Hair transplants Some people ask me: If skull expansion causes hair loss, how do you explain the success of hair transplant operations? It's a good question. Follicles from the back of the head (occipital region) transplanted to the balding (MPB) region can successfully grow hair. But, follicles from the MPB region transplanted to some other part of the body do not. Why? I believe there are a number of reasons: First of all, at the time of a transplant, a patient will already be experiencing severe hair loss. This indicates that, in the area which will receive the transplant, skull expansion has probably already fully developed * and so no more (or very little) bone growth will occur following the procedure. * Obviously the skull doesn't keep growing indefinitely, this process does eventually stop: the extent to which it grows depends upon skull shape. This also explains why some people will lose nearly all their hair whilst others lose hair in just one area (e.g., receding temples) or to a lesser extent (e.g., thinning hair). So, if either existing MPB region follicles can be rejuvenated or healthy donor follicles/follicular units are transplanted to this area, normal healthy hair will be produced. However, hair transplantation is a complicated process, so there's a lot more to it than that. Transplanted follicles are avascular (i.e., without blood vessels) and must successfully stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel generation) if they are to survive. Follicles transplanted from the occipital region can successfully stimulate angiogenesis because: 1. They are healthy and active, vigorously producing hair. 2. They are normal sized, not miniaturized. This means that, when inserted, they should be slightly closer to the microcirculation (blood supply) beneath the follicle than are the remaining (miniaturized) follicles in the MPB region. 3. They have a small protective layer of brown adipose tissue (brown adipose tissue). Brown adipose tissue is a type of fat (the other type being white adipose tissue) and has already been explained in a previous newsletter. If you missed it you can find out more from the following page: http://www.top-hair-loss-remedy.com/brown-fat.html Brown adipose tissue (or brown fat) accumulates around the follicles of healthy actively growing hair (such as in the occipital region), but not around dormant follicles such as in the MPB region. And it's been observed that the transplant technique known as follicular unit extraction (FUE) often lacks the protective layer of fat that other transplant techniques manage to extract from the donor site. In consequence of this, poor hair growth may result. Also, studies have been made that link brown fat to angiogenesis. So, for all these reasons, it is likely that brown fat assists in hair growth. The picture below shows hair follicles penetrating deep into the fat layer, and the blood supply beneath it, in a healthy region of the scalp. Follicles transplanted from the MPB region to some other part of the body cannot adequately grow hair because: 1. They are weaker and less active than follicles from the occipital region. 2. They are miniaturized and so will be further away from the microcirculation when inserted. 3. They do not carry any supportive adipose tissue. Angiogenesis and healthy hair growth are, therefore, much less likely to succeed. So, I would suggest that these are the reasons why transplanted follicles can grow hair in one region but not in another. Rather than suffer the trauma of surgery, I believe the most effective way to beat hair loss is to treat the underlying cause: skull expansion. Many men and women are now using the techniques I developed to successfully stop their hair loss and restore normal hair growth again.

Heathy 365 News - Tips For Skin Rejuvenation and Looking Younger

Laser Hair Removal- 5 Mistakes to Avoid     Healthy 365 Newsletter Issue # 9 - August 2, 2011 Update From Dr. Weaver If you're having trouble sticking with your personal plans to maintain your weight and stay healthy and fit, you are not alone. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) revealed that more than 34% of US adults, almost 73 million people are obese.  A person is considered obese if she or he is more than 30 pounds over what would be considered a healthy weight. Extra weight raises the risk for diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other problems. I will continue to address topics in this newsletter that will help you with addressing obesity and other health concerns to promote your being healthier and happier.  You do not want to be a CDC statistic. Today, we will revisit the field of dermatology with an overview of skin rejuvenation concepts which are devoted to helping you look your best which can also provide motivation at times to becoming healthier as well.                    Health Tip of the Week                   Skin Rejuvenation-            What Should You Do First? When it comes to deciding which skin rejuvenation treatment you should do first there is no "one size fits all" answer. You treatment plan should be discussed with an experienced dermatologist who specializes in anti-aging procedures. The treatment will vary based on an individual's skin type, age, ethnicity, sun exposure, and overall health. Your budget and your ability to schedule time off work is also another factor that will determine what treatments are right for you. Skin rejuvenation treatments started at the age of 30 would be very different from a patient starting them at 50. Your dermatologist should be skilled at matching the growing number of technologies and treatments with your specific needs and concerns. There are many effective non-ablative technologies available but their effectiveness will differ from patient to patient and be dependent upon the condition of the skin and the patient's overall health. When planning your skin rejuvenation treatments the doctor must also consider the length of the treatment and how often the treatments should be performed to give the optimal results. As with any condition, there are quick ways to get results as well as slower, more progressive procedures and you should discuss them both with your doctor. What skin rejuvenation step should you do first? Based on the information above, your first course of action is to book an appointment with an experienced, Board Certified dermatologist. Getting a skin evaluation is the first step of the process. The information gathered in this consultation/evaluation is the only way to determine what the best course of treatment is for your specific needs. During this consultation, your doctor will examine your skin and he or she will ask you what results you would like to achieve.  You will also discuss the costs and recovery times for each procedure as this will play a very big factor in the types of treatments available to you. You should also be honest about your current state of health. There are some procedures that are unsafe for people who have underlying health concerns. The doctor will also inform you of any risks involved. Only after this consultation can it be determined what skin rejuvenation treatments you should do first. You should also understand that most skin rejuvenation treatments may include a maintenance plan. Once the initial skin rejuvenation series of treatments are completed you will need to schedule further treatments, generally spaced at longer intervals apart, to maintain your more youthful look. Before beginning your skin rejuvenation you should take measures to prevent the effects of aging on your skin The first line of defence against the effects of aging is to eliminate things that are known to prematurely age your skin. Those include tanning and smoking, lack of sleep and poor diet and exercise habits. The skin generally reflects your overall health. You should use a wide spectrum sunscreen daily. This will include UVA and UVB protection. Get 7-10 hours of sleep every night Reduce alcohol consumption to the occasional glass of wine Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes and fish Take supplements to improve your nutrition Exercise daily If you smoke, now is as good a time as any to quit.  Smoking ages the skin the most and will block or reverse any improvement that you receive from skin rejuvenation procedures With this foundation, your skin rejuvenation program will be centered on the following main areas. Brown spots or areas of hyperpigmentation Red spots and enlargement of blood vessels Volume changes with increased prominence of skin laxity and crease lines on  the face Frown lines and wrinkles that show up with expression and movement Roughness and skin texture changes with increased prominence of pores The appearance of moles and other growths on the face that were not there when you were younger Unwanted facial hair that may or may not be associated with bumps and discoloration So, once your areas of concern are identified during your consultation, then a treatment program can be developed and an action plan started to help you get the results you are looking for. The treatment plan can consist of treatments including one or more of the following: Botox Cosmetic, Hyaluronic Acid or other fillers, Laser Collagen Stimulation, Laser Resurfacing, Laser Peels, Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion, Cosmeceutical Skin Care Products, Mole Removals, and Laser Hair Removal. As mentioned above, if you smoke, this should be stopped first before considering any of the other treatments. Nicotine in cigarette smoke is a vasoconstrictor and decreases the blood supply to the skin surface inhibiting wound healing and decreasing the delivery of nutrients to the skin.             To learn more, download the free report "Consumer's Guide to Cosmetic Dermatology and Anti-Aging Skin Treatments"

Hi Readers Here's Your Hair Loss Newsletter

How Finasteride Treats the Secondary Effects of DHT It is well known that DHT is linked to androgenetic alopecia. It's also quite well known that the drug finasteride can help reduce the rate at which this type of hair loss develops (and may even encourage new hair growth for some people). However, it is not so well known that the purpose of DHT in the body is for hair growth, not hair loss. This steroid hormone is used by the body to promote the growth of bone, muscle and hair. I believe the primary effect of DHT in the hair loss process is that it contributes to skull expansion by stimulating certain skull bones to grow. But DHT also has a secondary effect. This newsletter explains what this secondary effect is, and how finasteride provides some resistance to it. Hair loss develops because skull expansion causes a reduction in the capillary blood supply to the hair follicles. Eventually, this causes follicle miniaturization which chokes hair growth. The body reacts to this by starting "upregulation" (hyperandrogenicity). This means that the body tries to restore normal healthy hair growth again by increasing DHT production* within the follicles that are affected by skull expansion. * Remember, that's what DHT does: it stimulates growth, not loss. Now, higher DHT levels will accelerate mitosis (cell division) and so should help struggling hair to grow. But, when the rate of mitosis is increased, the blood supply becomes insufficient to grow hair that fast (i.e., because skull expansion has reduced the capillary blood supply). As such, the (papillae) cells in the root of the hair fail to meet the growth demand placed upon them by DHT. Instead, the result of all this extra DHT is to make the body rush through the growth phase (anagen) and reach catagen (the shedding phase) and telogen (the resting phase) much sooner than it normally would. This obviously causes the amount of hair loss to increase. It also means that more hair follicles are in the resting phase. And, whilst the hair growth cycle will restart again, strong healthy hair growth is less likely due to the progressive effects of skull expansion and further accumulation of DHT. Also, since hair growth in the outer (dermal) layer of the scalp has been restricted, DHT will instead promote more rapid cell division at a deeper level of the scalp (called the stratum germinatum layer). This interference with normal cell division can result in skin cells rising up towards the surface of the skin faster than normal, causing increased shedding of the skin - dandruff. (This was explained in a previous newsletter). Finasteride treats this secondary effect of DHT by reducing levels of 5 alpha reductase (an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT). And so, by reducing DHT levels in this way, finasteride extends the shortened anagen phase which, of course, allows more hair to grow. However, finasteride does not reverse the miniaturization of the hair follicles. I believe this is because it does not effectively treat the skull expansion process (i.e., the underlying cause of hair follicle miniaturization). It only addresses the negative effects caused by the body when it increases DHT production (upregulation). Another problem with finasteride is that further upregulation can easily occur. Many people experience this when they start using this drug. Basically, the body can compensate for the reduction in 5 alpha reductase forced upon it by finasteride. Essentially, it tries even harder to increase the quantity of 5 alpha reductase and DHT production in the affected region of the scalp. This explains why there can be an initial increase in hair loss when people start using finasteride and again when they stop using it. Although finasteride and other drugs such as dutasteride and minoxidil are used by some people to treat hair loss, there's a risk of developing side effects. The method I used and recommend is completely drug free.

Five Ways It Improves Your Life Tattoo Removal ? The Proven Dermatological Techniques Keloid Treatment ? What Helps You the Most?     Healthy 365 Newsletter Issue # 8 - July 26, 2011 What's New with Dr. Weaver  Many years ago, I went on a vacation trip to Mexico and I started each day with an omelet. This vacation trip happened to be during the month of June when I would usually schedule my annual physical. So, when I returned to Houston, I had blood work done and went in for the medical exam as usual.  My physician informed me that my cholesterol was 286 which was way too high and I was first introduced to low fat diets.  I followed the plan and 3 weeks later, my cholesterol had dropped to 186.  It has stayed close to that level for over 25 years.  One of the reasons that it has done so is that I usually eat a turkey sandwich for lunch most days in addition to fish and chicken for most meals.  My staff is surprised to hear that I have not bought any food from their favorite fried chicken place in so many years that I don't remember when. No more Haagen Dazs, but no fat frozen yogurt still makes the taste buds happy! So, today I want to provide information on "How to Eat Healthy" as part of your wellness program and maybe it can get to be part of your daily routine.     Dr. Weaver's Health Tip of the Week How to Eat Healthy, But Still Enjoy Your Meals Does learning how to eat healthy mean you have to eat flavourless food? Lowering the saturated fat content from your diet and reducing added salt or refined sugars should be your goal. If you have been in the habit of eating packaged foods, your pallet has been trained to crave the very things you are aiming to cut out of your diet. Unless you find a way to make healthy foods taste great, you may be tempted to stray from your good intentions, but thankfully there are ways to make food delicious without those harmful additives. 5 Tips for Reducing Fat in Your Diet Without Compromising Taste: Use water, wine or low fat, sodium free stock in place of oil or butter when sautéing. You will not miss the flavour since the oil or butter is usually only used to keep whatever you are cooking from sticking to the pan. If the liquid evaporates just keep adding a little more until the food is cooked. Instead of putting butter or margarine on your potatoes, top them with a dollop of fat free sour cream instead. Sprinkle with a little chives or your favourite herbs or spice blend and you will never miss the butter. Skip the butter when making sandwiches and go with fat free condiments like your favourite mustard or fat free mayo instead. Most of the time we reach for the butter by habit rather than necessity and you will never miss it. Replace cream or whole milk with skim milk in all of your favourite recipes. If the recipe calls for butter, substitute it with a healthier alternative such as olive oil. Buy only the leanest cuts of meat and trim away any fat and skin from chicken. Marinade the meat to tenderize it and replace the flavour of the fat. Whenever possible, bake instead of frying and if you do have to pan fry something, use non-stick cooking spray or brush the meat with lightly with olive oil rather than adding oil to the pan. Making sure you pre-heat the pan will keep the food from sticking. 5 Tips for Reducing Sodium in Your Diet Without Losing Flavour: Replace the salt shaker on your table with a sodium free spice blend. Most of the time we reach for the salt shaker out of habit rather than because our food needs it. A spice shaker on the table will satisfy that "shake" habit and add flavour to the food. There are tons of ready-made spice blends available or you can create your own custom blend using your favourites. Trick your pallet. Sour and salt are recognized by the same group of taste buds. Instead of adding salt to your foods while they are cooking, try adding a splash of lemon or lime juice or flavoured vinegars instead. Balsamic vinegar is particularly good to cook with as it adds a ton of flavour. Read the labels. If you must purchase any packaged or canned goods, get in the habit of comparing labels for sodium levels. Chances are pretty good that a different brand may be a healthier alternative to the brand you are used to buying. Add aromatics such as finely diced raw onion, scallions or shallots, roasted or raw garlic, fresh ginger or fresh herbs to foods as a hit of flavour instead of salt. Not only do these add flavour, they also bump up the nutritional value of your foods. Make your own salad dressings. These are super easy to make and they taste much better than store-bought dressings. Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Italian spices and minced garlic is a sodium free dressing that is packed with flavour. Experiment and find combinations you and your family will love. As you can see there are simple ways for you to learn how to eat healthy without sacrificing the taste of your food. You just need to make a few minor changes in your food preparation habits to make a big impact on your diet. As you can see, we have just focused on fat and sodium, not calories.  We know that too much fat can lead to deposits of plaque in arteries in the heart, carotids that provide blood flow to the brain, as well as the vessels of the legs.  So, by eating less fat your body will thank you. While debatable from some medical perspectives, sodium is still thought to play a key role in the development, progression, and worsening of high blood pressure.  So, keeping your blood pressure in check will cause your body to thank you as well. So, take the information above and prepare a healthy low fat and low sodium meal and see if you can adjust to it so that it becomes your regular routine.

Other Causes Of Dandruff And How To Treat It In the last newsletter, I explained seborrhoeic dermatitis - a skin disorder that can cause severe dandruff. But there are other types of dandruff too. So in this issue I'll explain what causes them and how to treat them. Dandruff can be caused by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include: Hormone imbalance Poor health and diet Allergies Stress Genetic predisposition External factors include: Poor hygiene (e.g., infrequent hair washing and poor rinsing of the scalp). Excessive use of hair sprays, gels, and products containing alcohol (which over dry the scalp). Excessive use of hair-coloring products. Overuse of hair curlers. Hair dryers can also over dry the scalp. Cold weather, indoor heating causing excessive dry scalp. Treatment for dandruff First of all, there's no cure for dandruff. But there are plenty of things you can do to control it. These are the top tips for eliminating and preventing dandruff: 1. Choose a mild dandruff shampoo - strong, detergent-based shampoos clean the scalp, but often cause excessive drying. So, if you shampoo every day, use organic (or baby) shampoo. 2. Brush your scalp before you wash your hair - this will loosen flakes of skin. 3. Use a shampoo with a low pH - as stated with seborrhoeic dermatitis, most anti-dandruff shampoos will normalize the pH of the scalp - i.e., to give a slightly lower (acidic) pH. So, how do you find the pH of shampoo? Good question. Some shampoos may state the pH on the packaging, or you could buy pH test strips or just email or Google the company before you buy. Shampoos have many ingredients - ideally you would use a shampoo which contains only organic ingredients. 4. Nutrition can also help control dandruff. If you eat lots of sugar and saturated fats, you will encourage DHT and sebum production. So, eating healthy and getting plenty of B vitamins is recommended. Garlic, onion and oil of oregano are also said to help.
