Calcification of the Follicles / Nano-encapsulated Magnesium Ascorbate…
  Editor Total Posts: 502 Member Since: |
January 13, 2010, 01:04 PM One thing about the struggle with hair loss that we can all agree on is that “we’ve missed something”. So, in racking my brain, I started thinking about how calcification of the follicles could be a factor -and perhaps why we can’t reliably bring back hairs past the 30 month window. Another thing about the struggle with hair loss is that as newbies, we all thought that surely companies somewhere would be doing all sorts of research about things like this -but that information just isn’t out there. Based on our past experiences of being “let down” by researchers lack of research on topics that could show promise -such as studies with real LLLT in conjunction with DHT blockers without minox- I’m just going to assume that people aren’t researching this avenue like they should be. I could be wrong… but this is a forum and that’s allowed! lol….. So, here we go…
Yeah, this is in rats, and this is with injuries… but what if the same thing occurs with long-term, slow injury due to inflammation? What if something else is going on up there that encourages the calcification of follicles -especially in areas with a high content of fibrotic tissue? So, from what I’ve heard -and I don’t have a lot of information to back this up- is that magnesium has the ability to “de-calcify” tissue. We need to do some research into this, but if that is true at all… it makes sense that we should nano-encapsulate magnesium so that it gets down to the level of the follicle and can start to reverse this. We already want to explore magnesium options anyway because it’s fantastic with laser therapy, so we should look into the nano-encapsulation aspect of it. Thoughts? This is obviously just the initial brainstorming of an idea. This product doesn’t exist, so if we think it’s a good idea, WorldHairLoss.org will get it made! -O.M.G.

[ # 1 ] January 13, 2010, 06:22 PM Nano-encapsulation, or any sort of penetration enhancer for that matter, is very unnecessary for Magnesium Oil. Magnesium Oil has been found to be virtually as effective topically as Magnesium administered through an IV directly to your bloodstream. If it’s guilty of one thing, it’s absorbing too well! From a scientific perspective, Magnesium Oil deals with calcification incredibly well, and using it topically on our scalps is a great idea. Preferably, you’ll want to let it sit on your head (after massaging in well) for roughly 30 minutes. Here’s what Dr. H. Ray Evers had to say about it:
He also states in the above article that the majority of us are Magnesium-deficient, and by majority, I’m referring to 8 or 9 out of every 10 people that you come across! Calcification of soft organ tissue is a common trait of Magnesium deficiency (http://www.ctds.info/5_13_magnesium.html#calcification), and Magnesium has been found to not only stop, but reverse calcification of the heart (http://www.renalandurologynews.com/magnesium-halts-vascular-calcification/article/112426/). A couple study abstracts that are worth looking at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2133625 http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/abstract/100/12/1501

[ # 2 ] January 13, 2010, 06:56 PM Well GOOD! That solves that point. What we need now is to try to find evidence of calcification in follicles of humans. I really do thing that this might be happening. It’s not hard to imagine that a follicle riddled with calcification wouldn’t be healthy, couldn’t be revived, and certainly wouldn’t respond to something even as effective as LLLT. I see those numbers about 80-90% of us being deficient in magnesium, by the way. It seems like we’d be silly NOT to be using it, but I’d like to get more evidence of the calcification of follicles. |

[ # 3 ] January 14, 2010, 11:55 AM The medical and pharma industries never intended to find a way to stop/restore hairloss. How are they to make money if they find a solution? My informal studies, research and findings has shown enzyme and manual exfolliation of the scalp surface removes product and mineral build up, increases blood circulation and helps break down fibrosis. By correcting one you effect the other. Healthy scalps grow healthy hair. Being that my science back ground is primarily limited by a self taught education, I can’t help but wonder if extraction of follicle congestion might help to remove root calcification. Calcification typically occurs when a foreign substance is present in the body. Hardening, as of tissue, by such impregnation. A calcified substance or part. You should see the gel like mass that comes out of the follicle, not to mention the demodex mites. It’s down right ugly.

Scalp Skin Lady, How exactly did you manage to view the above? Did you pluck a hair follicle out from someone with MPB and observe it under microscopic conditions or through another method? Just curious. I do, 100% agree though! If we gradually break down the layers of that that have become “contaminated” with calcification, Demodex overinfestation, excessive sebum, etc., I strongly believe that we can once again claim healthy scalps that, in turn, eventually result in healthy heads of hair. Further proof that pharma. industries have no inclination towards curing MPB is that they accidentally stumbled upon Minoxidil and Finasteride as wards against hair loss. They haven’t spent a dime of original research on hair loss…they found that these two drugs (potentially) helped with hair loss as a side-effect to what the two drugs were originally for (blood pressure and enlarged prostate medication), and THEN they dumped some money into getting the FDA-approvals. Essentially, it’s up to us hair loss consumer advocates to find the “cure” through a complete and healthy regimen.

[ # 5 ] January 14, 2010, 07:03 PM Nidhogge, I use a medical grade cosmetic camera scope, with extraction capabilities. The camera has a 400Xmag making it possible to view the follicle opening, hair(s) and the demodex mite. Many times there are hairless follicles containing the mites. It looks like a circular hole with 4 to 5 tails just at the surface. Watching them shoot out is rather gross to most people. The demodex mite feeds on the hair bulb, follicle walls and sebum. Calcification occurs when the mite feeds on the follicle, injuring the cell walls. When the cells heal, a scar (calcification) occurrs. Demodex brevis, which lives in the sebum gland, feeds on the walls of the sebum gland, producing more oil. There is more information on my website, scalpskinworks.com. Currently I’m retailing an at home kit with everything needed to perform an at home scalp wellness program. The only absent is the scope. The professional one I use cost $2000.00. I have found another scope, far less expensive with a little less magnification, but need to have a new tip for extraction. The SCALP SYSTEMS website is under developement.` |

[ # 7 ] January 14, 2010, 08:10 PM Note that “DHT” in this particular case stands for Dihydrotachysterol, it’s a synthetic type of vitamin D that isn’t natural. Keep in mind that though that regular vitamin D, actually inhibits calcification.

[ # 8 ] January 14, 2010, 11:47 PM sorry to state the obvious, but its my perogative to sound like an idiot. just thought i’d mention also fluoride in the water probably isnt helping matters, i mean it calcifys the teeth, enhancing remineralization, and people r against for reasons like ‘its compulsory medication’, ‘u can get all the fluoride u want from the chemist, so theres no need for it to be in the water’, but most importantly, people dont want the calcification process occurring in the stomach. I dont want it occurring on my scalp either! |

“My perogative to sound like an idiot”...lol, always enjoy your posts Anxious1. You’re right though, and I seem to recall reading that Fluoride has a hand in the calcification of the pituitary gland, which is responsible for melatonin/seratonin release in our bodies. |

[ # 10 ] January 16, 2010, 08:23 PM I haven’t been following this topic but it seems that calcification may be the end-result of chronic inflammation: http://www.pnas.org/content/100/20/11201.abstract
