organs clear toxins. Alcohol, damaged fats/oils, or zinc and iodine deficiencies damage the liver and genitals, which disrupt hormone production. Good circulation of mineral-rich blood is vital.
An imbalance in sex hormones is one of the main factors for hair thinning or loss. High levels of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate gland contribute to male pattern baldness by burning out the roots of the hair. DHT is synthesized irreversibly from testosterone by the enzymes
Pollutants that deplete hair building nutrients: refined sugar and carbs, such as white flour or white rice products; damaged fats/oils; environmental pollution; toxic agriculture chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides such as glyphosate; EMFs; acidic foods and drugs such as coffee and other caffeine products, alcohol, etc.; and medications.
To promote healthy hair on your head, consume a wholesome organic diet that is rich in quality protein; EFAs in balance; vitamins E and B and E; zinc, iodine, silica, sulfur, and other minerals; seaweeds; and sufficient sunshine without glasses or sunscreen.
SILICA
Silica is the beauty element that gives hair its silky, shiny, healthy look. It is abundant in youth but dissipates as we age unless replenished with a good diet that includes: leafy greens, onions, whole grain brown rice, vegetable skins, and oat straw tea. Silica is needed for calcium to perform its role and is thus essential for healthy hair, nails, bone repair, and teeth.
A silica deficiency causes the body to become
calcified and the hair to lose its luster and strength. Split ends broken bones, osteoporosis, coronary artery disease, stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure are symptoms of a silica deficiency. Silica also promotes proper mineral balance between calcium and magnesium.
This helps to balance the hormones, which play a vital role in maintaining healthy head hair. Silica helps balance the body’s pH, because of its role in calcium and magnesium bioavailability. Silica optimizes the transmission of nerve impulses and aids in removing aluminum.
Dull hair, bone loss, and sagging skin are also symptoms of silica deficiency. A major component of collagen is silica. Remember that fluoride destroys the body’s collagen and contributes to premature aging. AVOID fluoridated water and all fluoride products.
Silica also energizes the immune system and contributes to the production of antibodies and antigens. Silica nourishes every cell and gland in the body and helps to repair free radical damage.
Silica bonds with many minerals in the body and takes them to the peripherals, such as head hair, skin, and nails. This ensures that the hair follicles are fed vital minerals necessary for hair growth and vitality.
Relating the inner and outer connections: Silica is a bio-essential element and the second most abundant mineral in the Earth’s crust. The primary source of the terrestrial biosphere is
Food sources of silica mentioned above are best because silica supplements are not easily absorbed. If you take a supplement, be selective in the brand you take. An aqueous extraction method is more bioavailable.
