Immortal hair physiology using HTMA theory

[Aleksandr]

It seems like if the Ca: to Mg balance is tilted slightly to higher Mg (ratio-wise, not absolute values) then there isn't calcification
and if the Na to K is tilted slightly to higher K (ratio wise again) then there isn't inflammation


Calcium is also linked to testosterone and Mg seems to be generally higher in women and kids - who don't bald!

Obviously balance is the best, but i think people with these ratios (or rather, biochemistries that produce them.. or supplements / drugs .. i.e. fin seems to increase K) perhaps have the highest chances of immortal hair ?

@Helen @Boris

It seems most men in western societies end up with higher Ca and higher Na which is calcification and inflammation = balding. Maybe the ones with 'good genes' just end up with metabolic balances that retain mg and K, or they have certain organ size differentials that help maintain these ratios etc. I think Helen talked about this in a post ages ago

Have both of these. Still losing hair... though my scalp doesn’t seem to have calcification or inflammation. Probably has to do with cortisol.

Do you have diffuse hair loss or receding hairline?

The question is wheter people with the same mineral values/ratios can have different regulated androgen recepots, e.g. one has upregulated receptors and the other has downregulated receptors. Meaning the one is more prone to hair loss and androgenic effects, than the other, yet they have the same mineral values/ratios.

How many hair tests have you done, and have you had this physiology all throughout?

I thought the minerals control everything, and stuff like receptors occurs down stream?

2. Both the same over a year apart

Both. No loss in the crown though. I’ve been losing for almost 10 years now.

They might alter the receptors but how do we know if the values are the same for everyone? Perhaps we have damaged our organs with drugs, alcohol, stress and other bad habbits, thus someone's metabolism might work better with different mineral values/ratios. I'm mostly speculating, but it's still such a grey area. Also the founders of ARL and TEI are pretty bald.

I read Paul Eck did not do mineral balancing himself and even ate shit food. Dr. Watts not sure.

L. Wilson was a raw vegan/vegetarian before NB. Which is prolly the worst you can do for health (skin and hair).

A lot of guys who get into this stuff probably fucked themselves over before NB. So they might already be bald, etc.

I have no hairloss. Had some times with shedding but no hairloss even now in SLOW 4. I think PFS is saving me. But I might be lucky.

I feel terrible on NB though. The supps really hit me hard every cycle. Sometimes it is overwhelming. Then I read online some people have not that bad at all. They take the supps and do fine. I think my body is fighting hard to not accept the supplements or something.

Anyways remember the athlete freeflow posted - he was a slow oxidizer but also eating a lot of dairy. Guy had pretty good hair. So it is not always clear. He did have higher magnesium but maybe this is because he slows himself down so much. He had lower libido and low aggression but good muscles.

I also think there is a lifestyle factor: keep your lifestyle balanced. A lot of people are stressed, living in the city, using drugs to keep going, bad food, bad sleep, etcetera. This way the body never heals. So you start walking around with more and more crap like infections, mineral deficiencies/imbalances, etc.

I agree that there are so many factors, and Helen has explained a lot in detail about the possible mechanisms of hair loss. I think it's really hard to achieve the perfect balance, just hoping TEI will halt my hair loss and hopefully some temple regrowth.

I think its important to differentiate.
„Hair loss“ can be quite different symptoms.
And I feel like some people are exaggerating a lot while some are not.

Shedding can be caused by anything and you might feel you are losing hair but it actually does not change your appearance, maybe even in years.
Remember women do have periods of heavy hair loss as well.

I noticed those two ratios you mentioned by checking multiple hairtest too.
And both high ca/mg and na/k often go hand in hand.
But I don’t think it’s only that.0

+From my pov optimal iron levels are probably be a bit high for optimal hair health.

 

[RebelWithACause]

Well from what I read iron raises aldosterone. Iron increases na/k ratio. People with very high iron probably have a high Na/K ratio except when they are unhealthy with infections and disease OR other imbalances. I AM taking iron right now on TEI
