Are Your Searching In Vain For The Causes of Hair Loss?




CrispAds Blog Ads

Trying to find out what causes hair to fall out is often very hard to do. This is because there are so many different causes of hair loss, there is no one common denominator that one can look to. Causes of hair loss range from heredity, an anti-immune condition, stress, hormonal changes, diet, rest and hair care. In order to find out what is causing your hair loss, you should first visit your doctor. He/She will do a series of test to try to find the cause and discuss the possible treatments for your particular hairloss.
If the causes of hair loss have to do with medication, such as chemotherapy or certain antibiotics, then your hair will start to grow back once you complete the regimen of treatment. There is no need to consider any hair regrowth systems because the hair loss situation is only temporary. What many people do not realize is that diet plays a big part in healthy hair. Research has shown that a diet low in certain B vitamins is one of the causes of hair loss. You can watch your diet and increase the foods that contain these essential elements or you can take a vitamin supplement. While this is a healthy practice in itself, taking too many vitamins for hair regrowth could have the opposite effect and also cause hair loss.
If you have a condition known as alopecia, then there are no hair regrowth systems that will help you regrow your natural hair. There is no cure for this condition, although many advertised products would have you believe there is. Many of the commercial products that claim to be able to regrow hair, and while they do work for some customers there is no guarantee that they will work for you. If the doctor determines that the cause of hair loss in your case is not medical, then you can try some of the hair regrowth systems on the market.
One of the surgical hair regrowth systems that men and women commonly use is the hair transplant. Older methods of this system meant taking patches of skin containing hair, dissecting it into hair grafts and then grafting it back on to the scalp so that it would grow together as a normal head of hair. There are also more modern methods of this system, such as gluing synthetic hair onto the scalp – almost like wearing a permanent wig. This method is also one of the causes of hairloss because when you pull if off, you also take hairs off your head.
Another of the hair regrowth systems is the hair weave. With this system, as with all others, the surgeon has to make sure you have had a regular check up to make sure there are no underlying medical causes of hairloss. With the hair weave, the foundation fabric of a hair piece is actually woven underneath your existing hair. This does tend to come loose and will have to be retightened every few months, which will cost you money. However, having this done at regular intervals is no more expensive than going to the hairdresser every week.
There are many causes of hair loss, if you are worried about your hair loss the first step is to find out what is causing yours.

Are Your Pants Dry?




CrispAds Blog Ads

Are your pants dry, or did you wet them because somebody scared the you-know-what out of you? 
A lot of times when we get scared, it's because we see pictures in our mind of past experiences that scared us half to death.  So, the moment we see them, we feel fear, and we have a bad reaction.  Do you see those kind of pictures in YOUR mind?
We don't necessarily wet our pants, but we get so scared sometimes that we can't function properly.  We freeze.
If someone says *accident,* we all have our own memories or thoughts about accidents, and those memories or thoughts produce pictures.  If the picture in our mind is really bad, we freeze.  If we've never had an accident, or had a personal experience of seeing one, then we usually don't. 
If someone says *rape,* they are going to get different reactions from women then from men, no doubt.  And each woman's reaction is different, depending upon the knowledge or experience in the memory bank.  If we've had a really bad experience, we freeze. 
On the other hand, if we haven't had a really bad experience with that word, and we've just finished watching the "Charlie's Angels" movie, we know that women can turn the tables and feel the power.  Even if it was a far-out stunt that no one believes can actually be accomplished in real life, it still leaves room for the thought, *Maybe I can do it!  Maybe I *can* overcome!* 
In a broad sense, it was a fantastic movie about the powers of a woman.  *Just when I think she's down, she's back up again!  Hey, maybe I can do that in real life for some of the things that happen to me!* 
Parents, wouldn't you want to instill some of that in your daughters? 
Now, going back to the picture we have in our minds that scares us, if you have a picture that pops up whenever anyone mentions a certain word, your body reacts to the picture as though that dreadful experience could happen any minute now, doesn't it?
But you know what?  It's not happening right now, so why keep the picture around to make us feel like it?  Let's get rid of the picture -- along with the bad memories -- and feel the power THAT gives you!
Here's how you do it:
Look at the picture in your mind and feel the fear.  Visualize putting that picture on a piece of clear glass.
***  We've talked about this technique before -- it's called Shattering, so you are probably good at it by now if you've practiced.  And if you haven't, *why* haven't you?  It makes life a little easier, and that's always good. ***
Remember to put everything in that picture that terrifies you.
Now, in order to release the power that picture has over you, you need to use all of your senses -- hear, feel, smell, taste, see everything in that picture that says you ALWAYS get scared when you see it, or someone says something that reminds you of it. 
If you're using all your senses, your brain will be drawn to the picture, and that's important, so double-check to make sure you've done it.   We want your brain drawn to it before we shatter it.
OK, are you ready?  Look at the picture you are visualizing on the piece of glass until it evokes all those feelings and you are REALLY feeling the fear -- then . . . SHATTER it!
Now, bring the picture back up, and SHATTER it!  Bring it back up again, and SHATTER it 6 more times.
Now, look at the ceiling -- just to divert your attention for a moment.
Now, back to the project at hand, when you try to bring the picture back up, CAN YOU?
Most people can't. Or if they do, it shatters automatically!  Either way is perfectly acceptable.
***  When your brain is drawn to a picture, a picture you shatter again and again, it will have the same effect as a fingernail scratching a chalkboard. Your brain will not like it, and will not want to bring that picture back up again. If you can't bring the picture up, you won't have it to feed your fear, and isn't that great? ***
Believe me, this works. Pay attention, and if the scared feelings come back the next day, just SHATTER the picture 6 or more times. You are, after all, in control, aren't you?  Pretty soon your brain will get the idea for good.
Remember, if you take the time and effort to change your view of reality, your brain will put in the time and effort to make your reality become your view.  Take yourself out of the *victim* mentality and take control of your life.  Good luck!
