Yeah-Would love to hear from some of the more insightful posters of the past years that have mostly gone missing.  With all due respect, it seems like the intellectual level here has declined over the last few years.  Always love reading CS's posts, but miss JDP, Action/React, Nidhogge, MisterE, AS54, DRoddy, Mastery, OMG & many others.  Wish OMG's WHL was still up & running too.  Know some of these guys were banned, but miss their input.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune inflammatory disease affecting the hair follicles. Researchers are currently interested in whether the presence of bacterial pathogens and/or a history of immunization can trigger an autoimmune response in patients who are genetically predisposed. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine whether there is an association between the development of alopecia areata and throat carriage of bacterial pathogens or a history of immunization. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty-five men and women with alopecia areata and 65 control patients with other skin diseases were studied at the Dr Ladislao de la Pascua Dermatology Clinic between September 2008 and February 2009. The patients ranged in age from 18-59 years. Patients with scalp diseases were excluded from the control group. In all cases, the patient was questioned about immunizations received in the previous 6 months, and a throat swab was cultured. RESULTS: A history of immunization (odds ratio [OR], 3.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6-6.7; P=.001), the presence of bacterial pathogens in the oropharynx (OR, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.1-6.2; P=.033), and being a carrier of Streptococcus pyogenes (OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.7-2.5; P=.042) were risk factors for alopecia areata. Klebsiella pneumoniae, S. pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens and Escherichia coli were isolated from cultures. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to show an association between alopecia areata and throat carriage of bacterial pathogens or history of immunization, as risk factors for development of the disease. Given the characteristics of our study population, the association appears valid for patients with less than 25% hair loss and a course of disease under 1 year

How is everyone doing, life-wise and hair-wise?

Jdp710 wrote:I treat androgenic slopecia like an autoimmune disorder similar to alopecia areata.  Meaning elimation diet should be tried, good topical to fight pathogenic cause, etc..  pretty much everything works to stophair loss but some things work much better than others.  And reason why hair loss is like a roller coaster is due to biofilm.

JDP if you're out there what's your top biofilm busters?

I've been using ionic foot baths, near infrared suana, coffee enemas (will probably switch to homemade suppository) preceded by chlorella/zeolite/MCP, using binders pre meals and supping polyphenols some ALA etc.

Using Restore for gut function- it's been great. Not sure what else I can do to address to biofilms. Will grounding while sleeping help?

Edit-also using some antimicrobial tincures such as organic teasol root, red root and many more will need to look at the bottle ingredients. Also some kidney support tincture made from goldenrod, dandelion and other flowers. Also, smoothies with a lot of ginger and fresh squeezed lemon and all the other goodies.
