Hair cloning as a viable treatment for hair loss conditions.

Written by Richard Mitchell


One ofrepparttar most exciting recent developments inrepparttar 114922 search to find new solutions for hair loss has been research investigating hair cloning. Properly known as follicle cloning or multiplication, it involves taking a sample of a person's hair follicle cells, multiplying them in a lab and injecting them back intorepparttar 114923 patient's scalp. The aim obviously is to generate natural hair regrowth withoutrepparttar 114924 need for invasive surgery. But can we realistically expect this treatment to become available inrepparttar 114925 forseeable future?

Unfortunatelyrepparttar 114926 process is not yet possible but research is underway to perfect it. Current predictions suggest that it is unlikely to become available torepparttar 114927 public for at least ten years.

The name ofrepparttar 114928 process is a little misleading as it really refers to cell therapy rather than true cloning. Once perfected it would involve taking a small sample of tissue fromrepparttar 114929 scalp and then creating a culture that would allowrepparttar 114930 follicle cells to multiply. The theory is thatrepparttar 114931 few sample cells would multiply to become several hundred thousand that could then be injected back intorepparttar 114932 scalp to create several thousand new hairs.

Is there a role for nutrition in dealing with hair loss?

Written by Richard Mitchell


Could something as basic as inadequate nutrition really contribute to excessive shedding of hair?

Does sensible nutrition have a role to play in helping hair to regrow?

The answer to both questions is yes! There is no doubt that poor nutrition and hectic lifestyles can contribute to hair loss. Modern diets can be associated with a number of nutritional deficiencies that are thought to contribute to hair loss:

1. The refining of whole grains reducesrepparttar B vitamin content.

2. Over cooking of vegetables destroys B vitamins.

3. Raw leafy greens are absent in most diets.

4. The vitamins that have been ingested are often re-directed to facilitaterepparttar 114921 digestion of nutritionally sterile carbohydrates like sugar and white flour.

5. Stimulants like caffeine, nicotene and alcohol robrepparttar 114922 body of vital nutrients.
