Hi, was wondering if there are any cures for TE (telogen effluvium). I've had it for 4 1/2 years now and I'm healthy as a teenager according to my 4 years of blood work that I've had done. It all started after surgery in 2004.
Thanks for your help!

Telogen effluvium (TE) is just a fancy way to say that hair is falling out. It is a meaningless diagnosis. Most often the hair loss is hormonal and needs treatment directed at the cause to come under control. The fallacy of TE and the real causes are explained in detail in my recent book, It's Your Hormones.
