Take Care Of Your Hair

Our hair is an agricultural crop that has its roots in the blood-enriched lymphatic soil beneath the skin. The most important aspect of rehabilitating hair is to cleanse, purify, and nourish the body, blood, and lymphatic system. To maintain healthy hair, adequate nutrition and blood flow to the hair roots is necessary. The primary cause of hair loss and premature graying is a lack of nourishment for renewing the living hair follicle.
A deficiency of one trace mineral, tin, can contribute to male pattern baldness. For male pattern baldness, one food stands out strongly due to its extraordinary level of tin: the schizandra berry, the five-flavor fruit from Chinese medicine. This tiny fruit is extremely potent, so just thirty to forty of these berries a day is sufficient.

Just like our bones, organs, and muscles, our hair follicles must receive adequate nutrition. Malnourishment of the hair follicle is primarily caused by the clogging of the fine capillaries with mucus from mucus-forming foods (pasteurized dairy products, cooked grains [especially wheat], cooked animal fat, and cooked polyunsaturated oils). If we want a good hairline, the important thing for us to have is excellent circulation to allow nutrients to flow to the hair follicle. Toxicity and the sensitivity of a man’s hair follicles to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) are related; the greater the toxicity, the greater the DHT-related loss of hair follicles with age.

Eating a raw-food-based diet may not be enough to restore damaged hair follicles—our diets must be well-considered, raw, mineral-rich, and nutrient-dense to achieve the extraordinary result we are seeking. Healthy hair requires specific protein-building amino acids and sulfur in the diet because hair is almost entirely made up of protein (97%). These factors can be found in hemp seeds, spirulina, superfood blends such as the Pure Synergy superfood formula, and eating a wide variety of organic vegetables and their juices. Animal protein is abrasive, inflammatory, and clogging; therefore it is a poor choice as a hair nutrient.

MSM forms the sulfur bonds between proteins. It also increases the assimilation of protein. One of the first things you will discover after taking MSM is that your hair growth will be stronger and more vigorous.

— Hair Care—

There is a wide variety of state-of-the-art, organic, cruelty-free hair care products, shampoos, conditioners, and sprays. These products are typically made of minerals, essential oils, and herbs and are great for chemically sensitive individuals. Look for brands that are non-allergenic and contain no sodium lauryl sulfates. Excellent hair care should nourish the skin and follicles from the outside, complementing excellent internal nutrition.

—Facial Hair—

For men, facial hair is of importance too. When I became a raw-foodist, the hair on my face turned to its natural brown/red color whereas before, it had always been dark brown. Since I started including MSM in my morning water, my facial hair now grows with surprising vigor and strength.
