Well I am not exactly sure why my hair started to fall out. My hair started to fall out after the first visit to my natural doctor. He had put me on a bunch of new supplements (including cortef and iodine) and about a week later, I noticed the bald spot. It may have been a coincidence, but I think it was either the cortef or iodine. I'm not sure why.

Since it's an autoimmune type, it's hard to say why it happened at all. I think it's just the mercury confusing my body's immune system, so it started to attack the hair follicles. Iodine can actually chelate mercury, so I think it started to pull mercury out of my body and wasn't being excreted properly.

I have a very tiny amount of regrowth at the moment, but it is still bald on the left side. I have no side burns and when I pull my hair up in a ponytail it is VERY obvious. This picture is from July. I definitely have more growth near my ear now, but it's still pretty bad. Hopefully once this mercury moves out of my body it will get better. =) I had a large increase in acne too following the hair loss. I have never had pimples like I do now. You can see all the little dots on my face in the picture. Y I K E S! ...I hate looking at them.
