Question about supplements (Garlic) + Shedding

Random question that prob no one might have the answer to, but I’m currently taking garlic supplements to lessen the degree the hair on my head sheds.

However, I got panicky and thought about whether this would affect the shedding process for my areas recently lasered?

Even an educated guess is worth a try!

There is no proof garlic is good for this or your heart either. A testimonial from a satisfied user is not proof. That is why they call them testimonials. My wife’s hair is a gorgeous snow white, sparse, and very fine. She went to a new primary care doc last month for the first time. Our last PC doc retired. This doc is a young female from India. We like her a lot. She noticed a single long black hair in the middle of all this white hair and ordered a thyroid test (TSH). My wife is hypothyroid and the doc said the fact that she had one long single hair on the crown where most people start going bald was a sign that she had a thyroid problem. She said her body was trying to make more hair but was hindered by the low thyroid. My wife loves the snow white hair but she also wants a fuller head of hair. It will be interesting to see if she will start growing black hair again. The thyroid is responsible for a lot of amazing things.

The garlic won’t be a problem.

What you do need to check out is your B vitamins, and your thyroid. Many things in our environment, and so-called food stuffs actually depleat our vitamins and minerals, while attacking our thyroids. Because of this, many women are obese when they don’t need to be, and many men are bald who don’t need to be. If your eyebrows have thinned, or you are missing the ends of your brows, you have a thyroid problem.

Just a list of the drugs that damage the liver, and thyroid alone would show that you have need to heal and increase the body’s supply of these things.

The garlic will aid your circulation, and help with cleansing toxicity, and those are good things.

Thanks for the help!

Btw, you should add laser name to your signature. Settings vary by machine, so they don’t mean anything without the machine name stated. Fitzpatrick skin type would probably also be helpful.

Hi James…

Why is it we go to docs when we are deathly ill to have our life saved ? The answer is We know they study disease and cures by going to school for years to learn all this stuff. Yet we believe a lot of JUNK by people who are only interested in making a quick buck by making claims with testimonials that can not be proven. What ever happened to St John’s Wort ?, Echinacia ? and a bunch of old Chinese remedies ? A lot of it was sold to morons who believe they are going to beat the doctor out of an office visit.

What is detoxifying the body anyways ? That is the job for the kidneys, intestines, sweat glands, skin, lungs (exhaling) etc… Why are enemas more effective than all the other systems we have to rid us of toxic stuff ? The answer to that is… the quacks can not prescribe any tested drugs or procedures so they use “treatments” that do not require a medical degree.

Garlique is as effective as the drug invented by a school teacher to prevent from getting colds and flu from students. Do you really believe that? They lost that in court in a class action suit but they RETAINED THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE ADVERTISING THIS SCAM. Isn’t that a great victory for our legal system. They pay a fraction of what they made and are allowed to continue to advertise it and screw us. What a country, what a country.

We bust our butts trying to tell them the truth and they rather get screwed and pay a lot of money for it. They love getting screwed… without the benefit of sexual intercourse. I just do not understand it. How come there are so many absolutely stupid people out there ? There are more horses asses than there are horses.

You summed up how I feel about uninformed citizens who believe a bigger, bloated government will make their lives better. Oh, and that horse comment describes the United States Congress to perfection.

Harvey my friend:

Read the book Murder By Injection by Eustace Mullins and get back to me.

Allopathic medical theory was the quackery of its time, until they took over the very structure of medical education, delivery and payment in the US.

Have you ever looked at the MD training course and compared it to brainwashing or prisoner of war protocals. Doctors are taught how to prescribe the products of the Big Pharma Machine, which happens to own the schools they attend, and the availalbe drugs are on a constantly changing wheel of availability, and unavailability based on when the exclusive patents run out.

What no one is looking at is the fact that the active ingredients of all these drugs are synthesized from naturally occuring foodstuffs and minerals. What is patentable is the complete encapsulated format of the extracts being used.

As such, you can make millions selling a new pill form of an ascorbic acid dirivative, but the doctors are not told that simply eating enough fruits would be a better option. Of course, that is because the school is owned by the people who sell the drugs. Changing the availalbe drugs constantly, keeps the doctors from grumbling about paying for CEU classes to keep them up to date on what they should and should not be prescribing. Vioxx is the new wonder drug, Vioxx will kill you and is banned, Vioxx ban is lifted and may be prescribed again.

I love you James, but you know me well enough that I would comment on this one.

I am not aware of any drug companies that own one medical school in the United States??? Am I not searching hard enough? Maybe you can help me out here. Where did you get this information? Now, if you are really saying that drug companies give money to research centers where there happen to be medical schools, so that drug therapies can be discovered for all types of cancers, heart disease and diabetes, then that truly does happen and why shouldn’t it? I mean, James, my dear friend, would you rather have professors of medicine doing the research and collecting the data or that back alley guy on South Main Street whipping up apricot seeds and herbs in the garage?

Fact is, health professionals, schools, media continually talk about the fruits and vegetable stuff and have been for decades. People have the freedom to do what they want when it comes to opening the pie hole and shoving food inside. When they get sick because they eat all the wrong stuff, the health consumer demands the best pill or treatment to make them all better again. If the doctor doesn’t deliver, then they find a reason to sue the doctor!

One of my best loved friends died of colon cancer. She ignored what the cancer team advised for her stage of cancer, instead, she went to a pupil reader in Indiana and then to Lourdes, France to seek the Virgin Mary’s help. Who knows? she might have been saved by those drugs that the big drug companies helped to develop through the research engines they give money to, to scientist doctors connected to medical schools who also teach medical students. How else can this be accomplished?

Childhood leukemia is a great example how the big, bad drug company money has brought such evil to us all. Did you know that childhood leukemia is highly curable today, whereas, decades ago it was not and shattered many parents when they lost their little four year old’s to cancer?

Not all disease can be cured with eating properly because not all disease is related to food intake. I think drug companies need a pat on the back and positive acknowledgment for all the good products they have brought to the market that have extended life or have made ones quality of life better.

You’ll be pleased to know that the Inspector Generals office is earnestly working toward getting the little perks that in the past incentivized some doctors and institutions to prescribe their products. No pens, stationary, free lunches for the staff, calendars, or other tokens that have a drug 's name written on it can be near any office and they are getting stricter yet at the medical research and cancer center near where I live.

The free clinic where three of my family members volunteer are ever so grateful by the supreme generosity of the major drug companies. These big, bad drug companies are responsible for donating large quantities of their common blood pressure, heart and diabetic medicines and supplies to the under served population in Columbus.

I would love to see people eat better or not smoke themselves toward health problems, but the fact is there will always be people that routinely eat mashed potatoes and buttery noodles with gravy for dinner every night and finish off with a cigarette. Someday, they will find them self at the doctors office with related disease from their self-inflicted life style. Do you really think that a doctor telling them to eat more fruits and vegetables is going to be heeded? So, we’re back to the magic pill idea to prolong and protect life.

That’s my take on this, my friend.

My example was of a very narrow item.

Certain things really ARE a case of eat this, or take that. There is a medical topical solution that costs $20 to $40 a tube, when one could get the benefit of its active ingredient by rubbing onion juice on the skin. The high priced topical sure smells better than walking around smelling like onions, but for pennies a day, a person could just use onions.

As for the rest, I have offered you book titles to read, including the book I suggested to Harvey. We can talk more on the subject when you have read them love.

Big Hugs.

I have to agree with Dee. I find it disheartening when people assume that medicine is 100% a money-making scheme, and especially when they discount doctors who study for years to get to where they are (the ones I know all went or still go to top med schools and are some of the smartest people I know). Have you ever tried to take an advanced chemistry course? Looked at MCAT to see what’s necessary to know and what level of intelligence once has to have? Looked at how competitive top med schools and residency programs are?

Pharmaceudical companies have their place and they do take advantage. It’s a business and the bottom line is what’s important in a business - after all, they’re publicly traded companies that need to show a profit to investors every year. However, they would not be making money without causing lots of good, just like you wouldn’t be making money without being a GOOD electrologist.

Look at how many cures for diseases have been discovered in the last century. That’s in part due to financial support from pharmaceudical companies. Believe it or not, but the taxes you pay every year don’t come close to providing the funds necessary to do all that research.

And there are scientists and doctors dedicating their entire lives to studying just one disease and figuring out a cure. Don’t take that lightly. Electrology is important, but cures for diseases that make a difference between life and death are a bit more important. People don’t care that they’re hairy when they’re dead.

VIP All electrical gadgets sooner or later will FAIL. They last long but in actual time (if you add up the total time of all flashes during a year) it is not long. Bulbs BURN OUT . Lasers use light emitting diodes. Lasers deteriorate just like all bulbs. The number of flashes, the specific model used (changes are made during the model year), how often the device was used at higher temps, how often was the device recalibrated are just as important. A service person uses gadgets to measure the light output to see if it is running at the factory settings or has it deteriorated due to use (not just age ).

RESULTS: NO TWO LASERS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME JUST LIKE NO 2 PEOPLE ARE EXACTLY THE SAME (EVEN IDENTICAL TWINS).
