Are there alternative things you can do for hair re-growth and color? According to Dr. Charles Turner and Dr. Todd Hostetler, chiropractic physicians, there are alternative options which they are lecturing about. In their lectures, they will discuss alternative medicine, natural hair re-growth and color restoration, weight loss and natuaral pain medication.

The natural treatment the doctors recommend for hair re-growth and color restoration is PABA. PABA works in about 40 percent of the people who take it in high does, Dr. Hostetler says. PABA is a form of aminobenzoic acid which is part of the vitamin-B Complex family. When it works, it can result in hair regrowth, color restoration and softer skin because it improves certain metabolic functions in the body after about two to three months.

Unlike medications, there are benefits and absolutely no side effects. In addition to recommending the PABA for hair issues, the doctors deal with weight loss management by putting patients on high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets and stressing the individuals keep a journal of everything they eat. The doctors recommend chromium, a mineral which decreases carbohydrate cravings.

Additionally the doctors recommend taking natural supplements, in some cases a natural thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyrodism and of course, exercise.

The doctors have had tremendous success with some of the patients they have worked with. One patient, a non-fiction writer, reports that her hair had turned white, but, she started taking PABA and in about two months, her hair returned to its natural dark blond color. She said it didn’t happen overnight but, gradually the hair became less white. Another patient reports that “my hair in the front was thinning and the bangs were practically bald”. She started taking the PABA and after two months, her bangs grew in full and black like her natural hair color.

Remember, these alternative treatments work about 40% of the time. For the other 60%, there is Hair Support System and Micropoint links for the thinning hair. You may want to try a natural approach first and see if it works for you. If not, don’t despair as there are solutions for thinning hair and hair loss.
