Some possible causes are early antibiotic use, being fed solid foods too early, mothers health during pregnancy, environmental factors (smoking, pollutants, chemicals in air/water/food) and nursing or not nursing.

What can you start doing to improve allergies today?  Immediately start to reduce dairy, sugar, milk products (chocolate).  Many individuals are highly sensitized to dyes, preservatives and gluten in wheat products.  Secondly, start to cleanse your body.  A liver cleanse 1-2 times a year along with detox footbaths serves to clean up our internal environment and free our body’s natural filters to regenerate.

Omega 3 fatty acids and green produce have naturally occurring anti-inflammatory properties.  I’ve used Alka Green, Trace Minerals and Green20 for years to calm down inflammation.  Digestive aids will also improve assimilation and breakdown of food which can, when properly digested, begin the inflammatory process.

Lastly and most importantly take a look at all the habits, belief systems and perceptions in your life where you get defensive, take things personally and make assumptions, rationalizations, excuses and justifications.  These are all by-products of the ego-false self, narcissistic tendencies that truly make it “all about me”.

As a female ages, estrogen levels fall and there can be a shift in the balance of estrogen and testosterone.  Estrogen creates cell growth, therefore proper estrogen levels will turn on retired (as we age) hair follicles.  Testosterone can have a hair thinning effect when it gets out of balance.  As I’ve said, as a woman ages, estrogen from the ovaries diminishes then ceases with menopause.  However the adrenal gland produces androgen’s, which when healthy, will create a balance of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.

Lets look at what you can do proactively to create the full head of hair you desire.  First, think green for silica, a mineral responsible for strong shiny hair.  Beets, leafy greens, vegetables and whole grains have naturally balanced minerals, including silica.  Copper, in hair makes it thicker, due to the stimulation of collagen.  Oysters, legumes, chocolate, bran cereals, black-strap molasses (Alka-Boost) and nuts (almonds & cashews) are high in copper. Zinc has an antioxidant effect, which prevents free radical damage of the hair.  Pumpkin seeds, chicken breast, eggs and wheat germ are high in Zinc.  Think Alka-Green, Trace Minerals, Green20 & Adrenal support.

When we are creating a chemical/hormonal imbalance due to the fight or flight response because of our Ego’s resistance to the lessons life gives us daily, our Sympathetic Nervous System shunts blood to muscles, heart and brain to “beat the tiger” – It’s an illusion, there really is no threat in general to my life.  The blood is shunted from the brain, depriving it of nutrition.  Also the body steals pregnenalone from the adrenals to make cortisol/adrenaline and not balance the estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and DHEA.  B.E.S.T. treatments re-time the nervous system and we coach you in health habits so you wont loose hair over issues that are not in your control.

A)  Everything physical is temporary and significant from a spiritual eternal perspective only: lessons in virtue

B)  All negative emotions will create interference in my energy field, which will translate to lack of ease in my body since negative emotions interfere with original design.

2)  All human beings at their essence are:

Pristine

Pure

Naive

Ignorant

A)  This means we are vulnerable to information threw the senses, programming our perceptions and beliefs long before we are conscious enough to discern truth from falsehood

B)  So the hardware of the computer is pure & pristine, naive & ignorant, while the software may contain erroneous data about:  Self, God, Others, Life – that can cause false interpretation of data and lead to desire and fear

3)  All suffering comes from the perspective that my safety, happiness, value, esteem and worth are from an external source of location, where in reality happiness is from an internal & eternal source.

A)  This leads to looking for happiness, esteem, value and safety external to self.

B)  Becoming alienated from our true self

C)  Developing a persona or mask for others to see, and to live by with it’s inherent cravings, desires and fears.

4)  The suffering that occurs is a result of negative thinking and emoting from false beliefs, which trigger autonomic imbalances, hormonal changes and immune dysfunction: interference with Original Design.

A)  This creates awareness and the opportunity to change – grow and evolve in growth of self, practice of virtue and love of all.

5)  B.E.S.T. treatment removes interference in the body, mind, memory and energy field, allowing update of the nervous system and appropriate need.  Homework in forgiveness, compassion, conflict resolution, giving thanks and learning the lesson of the moment all allow for positive changes in the mind and field which does not interfere with Original Design.

Practicing the 6 essentials allows for self honoring and health which is a spring board for service to humanity!

Unchecked inflammation can lead to suffering and dis-ease.

Dr. Peter Libby, chief of cardiovascular medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston states, “We evolved as a species because of our ability to fight off microbial invaders.”

Our body responds with inflammation when it comes in contact with a virus, bacteria, fungus, mold, parasite, physical/emotional stress, chemical toxins and even dietary indescressions, (ie. sugar/protein overload, not enough vegetables).

If our nervous and hormonal systems are constantly being triggered by various and multiple stressors that initiate the inflammatory immune body response over and over, chronic inflammatory reactions are inevitable. Multiple diseases can be traced to the body’s chronic (lasting more than a year) inflammation response.

*Heart attacks *cancer *Alzheimer’s *Type II diabetes *Obesity *Autoimmune diseases: multiple sclerosis, lupus, fibromyalgia *Sjogrens *High blood pressure

Any symptom with “itis” after it: colitis, nephritis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, gastritis, pancreatitis, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, bronchitis, otitis…

There are currently over 60 disease processes involving chronic inflammation.

What can be done?

Lifestyle modifications can be made to minimize chronic inflammatory syndrome.

· Reduce sugar and all refined hydrogenated food products (junk foods in general including drinks derived from sugar (high fructose corn syrup and maltodextrin are also refined sugar products)

· Filtering water

· Organic meats/dairy

· Organic vegetables/fruits (the greener the better!)

· Regular exercise

· Breathing exercises

· Catching oneself in the act of regurgitating the “old story” and letting go of that mindset (or set mind!)

· Relaxing daily: prayer/meditation

Health authorities agree if we can reduce the cause of inflammation and interrupt the inflammatory process our body will heal itself as it was designed to do.

Two very powerful anti-inflammatory agents are chlorophyll and chlorophylin. Chlorophylin is a semi-synthetic, water-soluble mixture of sodium and copper salts derived from chlorophyll.

Here is a short list of benefits from chlorophyll and chlorophylin .

· Tissue growth & repair

· Internal deodorant

· Topically for slow healing wounds

· Calcium assimilation (stabilizes cell membrane)

· Forms molecular complexes with chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer, therefore may block carcinogenic effects

· Delivers magnesium and helps blood carry oxygen

· Neutralizes several oxidants (free radicals) – Inflammation is produced from free radical damage

· Limited data from animal studies indicate that chlorophylin may increase enzymes responsible for detoxifying chemical carcinogens.

· Prevention of liver cancer

· Prevention of colon cancer

· Powerful antioxidant- neutralizing free radicals within the body that cause disease and membrane damage

· Protection against DNA mutation

· Promise as a chemo protective agent

· Useful in treating calcium oxalate stones (kidney/gallbladder)

Mother Nature has provided many other powerful anti-inflammatory agents in the form of Fulvic Minerals. Fulvic means created by the microbial activity of plants. Benefits include:

· Transport valuable anti-inflammatory nutrients into the cell (increases absorption (permeability) and bio-availability)

· Increases oxygen while decreasing acidity

· Improves enzyme development

· Powerful free radical scavenger and anti-oxidant

· Powerful detoxifier

· Anti-biotic

· Anti-viral

· Biphasic electrolyte: can accept or donate electrons depending upon need

· Weight loss
