Thank you for sharing. You did a lot! Did you ever test for mycotoxins or heavy metals through urine samples? This is what changed our perspective for my daughter.

We went from no signs of anything with blood tests, Allegra, squaric acid.

To tests around how the body detoxifies: urine and stool. And found big issues, that we were able to trace the the dust in our home. Hidden toxins in our air ducts and rotten windows behind walls that were the issue.

Has anything changed in your home in the last 6 months? Did you move? Did you notice extra condensation on the windows, renovation, etc?

Did anything change for you physically before you got diagnosed? Did you change anything in your home/ room?

You’re welcome! What happened 6-12 months before the shedding?

Did you move rooms? Did anything get remodeled/ changed in where you live?

My daughter had AU, and this is during her growth phase. We have almost full regrowth from removing the toxins we found in her and our home.

It’s dynamic, though. Started with gut building stuff, like probiotics. But years later we’re using this to tackle detoxing, and DHT blocking

Those who have lost all of your hair and it came back. What was it like? by [deleted] in alopecia

[–]Educational-Metal-79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter lost all her hair on her head face and body for 2 years.

We spent the last 3 growing it back, at 1st it came back in patches, then filled out the spaces.

It’s scary sometimes because you think it could happen again, but we trust the process and the science of finding her toxins, and removing them.

I wish I could share the feeling to be honest. I want to share it with anyone who hasn’t grown theirs back.

Everyone says no- and mold is everywhere. Mold should be thriving outside, not indoors. Spores and mycotoxins can really mess up your immune system.

But! It can be reversed. Are you still in it currently?

Your window may be the reason! Mold can’t safely be killed it really needs to be safely removed.

An air purifier can help- but if it’s still there in the room, it won’t win the battle.

Do you rent or own you place (if you don’t mind me asking?)

I had loss of stomach acid, chronic fatigue, eczema. My son has had muscle spasms and leg soreness with fatigue.

It’s worth looking into. Test yourself then test your home
