Sun Exposure after Hair Transplant

[35YrsAfter]

Here is a thought for those that make their bread and butter in the ht industry as it would be easier to understand. Have you ever read or listened to something about hair transplantation in the mass media. You sat there and what did you say to yourself. More than likely you said where are they coming up with this crap, the information is filled with inaccuracies. But you see you know the subject very well but the masses do not so they take it all in as gospel. They have no reason to research and this just becomes their truth.

There is a female hair transplant doctor who has a video on You Tube that is full of inaccuracies and concepts that simply aren't true.

A great deal of what some people believe is the result of media and cultural conditioning. Our family has a collection of DVDs and Blu-rays and we pick and choose from Internet programming. In other words, we avoid network programming and the commercials.

We stayed in a lodge over the weekend that had cable TV and the commercials always stand out to me as a "malware for the mind" type of manipulation. Take all the pharmaceutical commercials for instance. Dependance upon pharmaceuticals is good for those making the money off their sale, but what are the long-term effects on human beings after several generations? Is a generation of humans being inadvertently engineered to become addicted to medications? If you mention Fluoride in our water supply, most people are conditioned to believe it's a good thing and those who oppose fluoridation are conspiracy nuts and hypochondriacs. A new study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association confirms fluoride to be a toxic substance that actually destroys teeth, particularly those of developing young children and babies. Other studies conclude that Fluoride can actually lower an individual's IQ. Skeletal Fluorosis is another reason to avoid Fluoridated water.

People more and more are doing their own research and hopefully making more educated decisions.

It now becomes very difficult to convince the herd that the information is incorrect. Sometimes it becomes so difficult you might even say to yourself why even try. I mean really are you suppose to educate each person one by one………….it becomes a monumental task. So you tell a few here and there and if they listen good for them and if not……………oh well just watch them go over the cliff and many will be going over the ht cliff as they can be seen on the forums very often.

Now when it comes to health and nutrition it works exactly the same way only it’s 10 times worse. Of course gluten and grain should not make up part of one’s diet. No animal in nature eats a concentrated diet of grains regardless of if it’s an carnivore, herbivore or omnivore. But it’s cheap and you can feed a lot of people with it and make money sometimes so hey why not. But really it’s not a good source of nutrition just as the pink slime in the fast food burgers is not nor the flame retardant that was recently removed from Gatorade. I mean really trying the cut out the renderer by treating that animal scrap with ammonia and telling me it’s food because you formed it into a burger is pretty low…………do they really need the money that bad………..I guess so.

So getting to my point maybe the Sun is good for you. Maybe what you are reading as a source of information is completely inaccurate and maybe you just don’t know it. Maybe that herd of pasty looking obese people with cell phones glued to their ear at O’hare airport I was recently confronted with are heading towards the cliff.

No matter how uncomfortable it can be sometimes not being part of the herd, personally I don’t care to go over the cliff……………I’ll just watch.

Let me ask you a question would you ever go to a GP to get really accurate information on hair loss or hair transplantation. Probably not yet look at all these people that go to doctors for health advice……..makes just as much sense.

Topcat and Chuck,

Really appreciate the info and well wishes.

Thanks guys!

35 years I don’t use too much sweetener except in my black coffee and that would be stevia as its natural, water processed from a plant and does not raise insulin levels which would be key, you want to keep insulin levels low and not constantly have them spiking up and down.

The problem with the Blue Agave is that it is fructose and too much fructose is not good. Here is what most people don’t understand about fructose regardless of if its high fructose corn syrup or too much fruit. Fructose can only be stored in the liver unlike glucose which can be stored in the muscle tissue and liver. The liver is very limited in how much fructose it can convert into glycogen and store so the rest needs to convert to triglycerides which is stored as body fat. The more fructose one consumes the fatter they get over time and having high triglycerides in the way of blood fat is not a good thing. Then we get into the whole issue of inflammation which would be the real reason behind heart disease and not cholesterol as that is just there because of all the inflammation. Big drug companies know this and that is why they are all working on anti-inflammatory drugs for heart issues. For instance MABS that will suppress IL6, big drug companies know exactly what they are doing. Until something is approved specifically for heart disease they will keep hawking the statin crap that is bringing in billions. The reality is that one does not need a drug to reduce arterial inflammation it’s mostly diet related.


Once again very hard to convince most but they should be allowed to at least read or hear a different point of view as maybe they will research it more and make better decisions, it’s the right thing to do and we all deserve this regardless of the situation. Most of course can’t be helped as they become ruled by fear and herd mentality. Very hard to get away from what the herd is doing as there is always safety in numbers and its part of our DNA to be part of the group as we have evolved to understand it is often necessary for survival. Regardless of if a high percentage of the herd is suffering from obesity and inflammatory diseases being part of the group is more important so they follow. One could even say the same for hair as it being something for some to be accepted into the group and sub consciously needed to survive of course I understand that better now but didn’t when I was a younger man.

And fear, forget about it as it’s one of the most motivating forces. I laugh at the expression on people’s faces when I tell them I eat a dozen eggs a day on a fairly regular basis and have done so for must be going on close to 15- 20 years now, starting to lose track as I get older. Sometimes I will in fact have 20 eggs in a day for no particular reason except maybe out of convenience. Do I think I have clogged arteries or a high level of obesity…………no……………do I think I can perform better than the vast majority of twenty somethings…………yes…………but regardless most people that would even give something like this a try would only last a few days as the fear always gets them which is exactly how it is suppose to work. It creeps into the back of their head and they start saying to themselves this can’t possibly be right and so it’s back to what the herd is doing. Marketers know this especially in the area of food………..they know how to keep the herd together and moving in the right direction. It becomes extremely difficult for most to wrap their minds around the fact that much of what they are being told is not true and even if it endangers their health most that are profiting simply do not care.

Sweet Leaf uses the water extraction method so I would look for that brand. Much of what else is available is chemically extracted and comes from China which is not always a safe source. Sorry for the long answer………………..I like to blab.

We have a female friend who died of lung cancer at 39. I don't even want to imagine what it must have been like to be given the equivalent of a death sentence by a doctor. I visited my neighbor last night who has been given 3 years to live due to prostate cancer. I have heard repeatedly that keeping your body alkaline as opposed to acidic creates a hostile environment for cancer to grow.

Great to have you with us Gillenator.

BTW did you know that Black Cherries drastically reduce uric acid thus drastically reducing gout. I have an interest in uric acid for other reasons so I have studied it a bit. Sometimes it's just a matter of having information, you can never have too much in my opinion.

It could very well be that if your dad had known this fact about black cherries maybe he could have eliminated his gout by adding this and changing his diet but of course we will never know. The problem with so called modern medicine is it becomes a slippery slope as they prescribe medications that in turn cause bigger problems down the line which could have also been the reason behind the AK.

Anyway this is just my opinion and I know most simply will only seek advice from a "medical professional" good luck to them.

What is your opinion of sugar alternatives like organic blue Agave? I remember several years ago when I was in Hawaii, we took a quick tour of a sugar cane factory. The guide was Hawaiian and said if any of us were feeling ill effects from white refined sugar, it's because of the chemicals they use to make the sugar white. Our family has been avoiding high fructose corn syrup because of GMO and white sugar. Are there safe sweeteners in your opinion? If so what are the best?

Gilenator kudos to your doctor as that is very rare most will say it doesn’t matter what you eat. Food is medicine and it does matter. I use to laugh when my grandmother would tell me to put some butter on a cut or scrape but she was right. Raw butter is very high in lauric acid which has anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-protzoal properties. If you do enough reading and depending on what you want to believe many cancers are fungal or viral in nature so even something as simple as butter could very well be the defining factor. Most would believe that raw butter which is made from raw milk is unsafe but that is the fear that has been instilled in them so that others may profit. That to me is real medicine, hundreds or years of observation handed down from generation to generation but slowly being lost as it makes no one any money from it. In fact most would be infinitely better off applying raw honey to prevent infection to a wound but doctors simply cannot offer that advice as the system keeps them in check. This is what makes systems sometimes not so good as they become corrupted and that is bad for everyone especially when it’s a matter of life and death.

I was recently in Macedonia and visited a monastery and before I left they gave me bags of dried herbs and some tinctures all picked from the nearby woods. They were surprised I knew what green walnut hull tincture was good for but doesn’t everyone…………lol…………….I guess not.

And Gillenator it is good to hear you are healthy, it’s the most important thing in life.

BTW, I quit smoking on a dime.

I didn't know you had lung cancer. How many years ago? Are you cancer free?

Chuck

Chuck,

Yes, I was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in August of 2009. The doctors said it was going to kill me and that I would not survive it because it was already terminal and then gave me a 10 percent chance of survival.

They said my chances of surviving the chemo regimen that I would be undergoing would be remote. Still, my wife pleaded with me to go through with it. So I did.

I never felt the cancer, never was coughing up blood, but the chemo nearly did me in. Still feel it to this day.

Anyways, my entire right lung was filled with tumors and it was removed completely just before the chemo. While in SICU, my other lung got infected, got pneumonia, and collapsed. I actually died for about 2 minutes before they got me on a lung machine.

I have been in remission since then. My doctors are very perplexed. Just had a CT scan last Monday and all is well.

Thanks for asking my friend...

[gillenator]

topcat,

Thanks for the info and yes cancer cells thrive on sugar. One of the first things that my oncologist told me was to stay away from processed foods and especially "sugar". He said sugar with cancer is like throwing gasoline on a fire!

I also researched that much needed iodine is missing from our processed foods and henceforth diets. Proper iodine levels help the cancer cells from becoming active as we all have cancer cells in our body. I believe this is why our grandfathers generation who mostly consumed food grown off the land have lived longer lives.

My father smoked like a chimney for over 65 years and he is still alive and no lung cancer. Yet he grew up on a rural ranch and ate off the land like his parents did until he went off to the Korean War.

35 years I guess we don’t really know what happened to your dad but I would be more apt to think the high uric acid levels that were causing the gout were also behind the AK and I would also say that high uric acid levels are due more to sugar in the diet and less to fat in fact fats would be beneficial most especially saturated fat.

Both my grandfathers smoked and they both started very young around 14 or so. They both lived well into their 90’s and they both had one thing in common plenty of time in the Sun. They grew up in the Balkans on farms. If you look at the stats those that smoke and are exposed to Sun have drastically lower rates of lung cancer.

Both my parents smoked for years and neither died of lung cancer. My dad spent a lot of time in the sun and ended up with Actinic Keratosis. Actinic Keratosis is considered a pre-cancerous skin condition. The doctor gave him a topical lotion and like 5fluorasil, it makes your skin red and nasty while its doing its thing. Our family didn't eat well and I think the fatty diet contributed or acted as a catalyst related to his AK formation. My dad just stopped using the topical AK treatment and lived out the rest of his life with AK. He died at 74 because he had painful gout and a doctor prescribed an outdated medication that had a kidney-damaging side effect. The medication masked his symptoms of prostate cancer. The surgery would have been successful but the medication weakened his kidneys to the point he didn't survive the anesthesia. He died while on a kidney dialysis machine.

I smoked for 40 years and I spent endless hours in the sun and still got lung cancer.

I didn't know you had lung cancer. How many years ago? Are you cancer free?

Yes Gillenator I remembering you mentioning the lung cancer. Of course stats are only stats many will not fall into the category that they would prefer for many reasons of which we only know a handful.

Both my grandfathers ate sparsely and were thin. Each having a low BMI and they fasted more than occasionally as there was not much food available which greatly increases one's chance of not getting cancer. They both drank plenty of homemade wines which were very high in resveratrol and no sulfur dioxide another likely key factor of which they were unaware. Probably the best thing they did though it was not by choice was to not eat highly sugared, highly processed foods. Cancer needs sugar the more the better, they ate real food. They also used zero prescription or OTC medications.

I’m sure most are not going to agree with my comments which is okay with me I just feel the need to post them sometimes as another point of view. I feel staying out of the sun or applying sunscreen is extremely poor advice.

Gillenator I watched a really good movie on a cancer doctor that is available on the internet. Just Google Burzynski movie. I have followed this doctor off and on for 30 years now mostly due to my interest in health and nutrition. They tried to squash this guy over that same number of years. Tried to discredit him, jail him, even tried to steal his idea an amazing story of a man that was just doing good trying to help others. Well he managed to keep going through it all and persevered. One can only imagine how many lost their lives or suffered greatly with current treatments only because they weren’t given the option of having the information.

The testimonials given throughout the movie come from deep within the heart. Many researching HT would benefit from watching it as the correlations are numerous.
