Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I am one of the people who asked the same question on the group not to long ago. In my case I had other symptoms that along with hair loss indicated a thyroid issue. I am on my second month of taking Thyrocare from www.wtsmed.com I asked alot of people including my aunt who is a long time vegan. She said that when she first went vegan she started loosing alot of hair, and when she increase her protein intake it stopped. I am with you, I have yet to see a definite answer.

I often see other posters with this question and have yet to see in any book or website, a clear answer. Is it a sign that new fresh healthy hair is growing and taking the place of the old or is my diet deficient in some way? It doesn't seem to happen to all raw fooders but there seems to be a significant number that have this problem. For those who have been on a raw food diet for a longer period, has there been a stage of hair loss and then regrowth? Has anyone modified their diet and seen a change in hair loss? Could it be a lack of fat or protein? Is it just another sign that the body operates in a delicate balance and when you make radical changes there are side effects until everything stabalizes? By the way, I am a 54yo female, 5' 10 " / 130lbs. I was 15 lbs heavier and in good health when I started the raw diet. I was already dairy free and ate very little processed food. I ate meat about three times a week, either fish or chicken. I would appreciate any thoughts on the matter. Thanks Talk is cheap. Use Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I had lots of hair loss too in the beginning! I don't know why this happened to me either! I also lost hair but only in the beginning, it seemed like for quite a while, maybe 6 months or so! Then it stopped and I actually had forgotten all about it until you posted this! So for me it went away, I don't remember reading about this anywhere in any of my raw food books though! Interesting! Anyone else lose a bunch of hair when they went raw?

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 The body discards trash and rebuilds new, healthier tissue. Hair is a low priority item from the body's perspective. So it's a simple matter for the body simply to eject the old, then rebuild anew as resources permit. In all likelihood, the follicles are being overhauled from the inside out, and the of course all the skin is being replaced regularly. Your body is healing itself at its own pace, just keep being good to yourself and let your body take care of itself.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I wouldn't touch soy milk with an 80 foot pole! And besides, this is a raw food list and soy milk is not raw. Stay away from soy, unless of course you'd like a compromised thyroid. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yes, the soy milk is sufficiently toxic to the body to slow down the cleansing process. Therefore the release of the old, damaged hair slows considerably, as do other, higher priority cleansing activities. You can create health, you can treat symptoms, but you cannot do both at the same time.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 You can make raw soymilk (http://www.soymilkquick.com/soymilkmaker.html). I'm curious why you are linking thyroid dysfunction to soy products. Can you provide a source for that? I know that there a bunch of phytate scares out there, but those have been debunked for the most part, I believe. rawfood , " SV " <shavig wrote: > > I wouldn't touch soy milk with an 80 foot pole!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I've got information on another group about the bad news on soy, but there's a problem with viewing the messages right now. I think it's a thing. Soy is NOT raw anyway, that's the main reason I don't eat it and cooked it's very hard on the kidneys because of the high protein concentration.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I wrote a lengthly post about my hair falling out since going raw and thyroid disfuction... if anyone is interested in reading that experience my blog is www.stampyleah.blogspot.com I think the title of that post was hair falling out in clumps. And by the way, my hair isn't falling out any more! It is actually growing new short, healthly little hair! Leah Everyone is raving about the all-new Mail beta.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Thanks Sharran. I was brain dead when I read the first message. The message I had responded to was quite dated (I think) and my head was on to something else! Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
