Q: What can I do about dramatic hair loss?

A: If you're losing hair faster than Google does searches, it's likely caused by stress or a toxin in your environment. We advise people to wash their hair with just water and go to pure foods (ones they cook, nothing prepared or cooked by others) for several weeks to ensure it is not an allergy or some poison in your hair from your environment. Assuming there's no toxin, then we try to work on managing the stress they are under or change their environment to decrease their stress. If the hair loss is not in clumps, Rogaine seems to work in about 50 percent of patients who try it.
