ALOPECIA AREATA
ALOPECIA AREATA
Note: The following information is not from the book "The Miracle of MSM" but from published medical and biochemical articles and studies.
Alopecia areata, also known as alopecia, is a type of autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing the hair to decrease in size, slow down growing, or stop growing altogether.
Alopecia can often be associated with other autoimmune disorders, such as thyroid disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases.
Alopecia is a health condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing inflammation. It is not fully understood what causes the immune attack on hair follicles.
In some of the people affected at a higher degree, their nails also will show changes as ridges and pits. Recovery is unpredictable, with some people regrowing hair fully.
There is no cure for alopecia, and the available treatments are mostly ineffective or have an exceptionally low response rate. The goal of most treatments is either to block the immune response or stimulate hair growth. Even with the expensive treatments, the hair may fall out again when the treatment is stopped.
Hopefully, before coming to this page, you have read the first six pages of this website to educate yourself on sulfur “the forgotten essential element” and MSM the natural source of sulfur available to supplement the lack of sulfur in our diet.
And if you have, you must remember that MSM has:
1. an immune normalizing effect observed in autoimmune diseases including cancer,2. anti-inflammatory properties,3. and MSM has two observed side effects, it increases hair and nail growth.
People with certain autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, thyroid disease, or vitiligo, are more likely to get alopecia areata, as are those with allergic conditions such as hay fever.
Because of MSM’s clinical proven help with autoimmune diseases, if I knew someone with this health condition, I would recommend them to try the MSM sulfur nutritional supplement and use an MSM topical application to the site affected to see if it may help.
All indications are that MSM may help, at an incredibly low cost, but most importantly in a fully nontoxic natural process without medicines side effects and their excessive cost. It will even help in the overall health condition of the person.
It is suggested to take 2,000 to 6,000 mg of MSM daily in the form of crystals or capsules to see if it helps. Start with the lower dose and increase slowly as you go until you reach the level that brings a change.
Notice: Every time you use the MSM therapeutic topical gel, make sure your hands and the massaged area are clean because the MSM penetrates the skin, and one does not want to infect the skin with dirt. Also make sure that you rub the MSM gel in until your hands and the massaged area are completely dry to avoid the MSM gel carrying any foreign particle. The demineralized water-based gel contains 15% MSM, which is the maximum to avoid crystallization. So, to prevent the gel from crystallizing, do not forget to close the MSM gel bottle lid after use.
