Alegne - Great Question.

The most mucous-dissolving foods include citrus, esp oranges, with fresh figs and olives.

Avoid bananas, nuts and seeds until your mucous clearing phase diminishes.

Good Luck, you are on the right track!

Thanks Raw naturopath and Joss

And cigarette butts on the ground, footpath etc. Now thats aggravating  :angry: I heard somewhere that cig butts are classified as toxic waste in sum countries...

Nice new pic Joss 

Hey Alegne,

Nice to hear from you again.  I'm so glad that you are feeling so much better, and that the natural therapies you have employed are working a treat.

Red raw noses are the pits!  Hallelujah for coconut oil.  Aloe Vera tissues are lovely when you have a long period of a runny nose.  They seem so much gentler on the poor ol' red raw nose.

If your energy levels are down, remember to rest.  As much as you need, whenever you need - it is a powerful healer for the body.  Sometimes it may mean not listening to your head, but rather your body or your heart.  I'm like a broken record when it comes to this I know, but it really is such a restorative measure that pays huge dividends.

I used to worry about how much hair I shed too, but then I thought well, how much is too much.  If I awoke with handfuls of hair on my pillow, I would be concerned. 

Like you, I lose hair when I brush my hair or wash it.  But to me, this is naturally when the hair that is ready to be free    is going to fall away from the head.  I have a ball of hair that I remove from the drain after washing my hair, and if I brush my hair, there is an amount to be removed from the brush.

I also think that it is more noticeable when you have long hair (which you seem to have in your pic).  My hair is long, and whenever I vacuum or sweep, all I seem to collect is my hair!  I think I probably shed the same amount when I had very short hair, it's just that it was not as noticeable.  Sometimes I wish I could lose more hair, it's so thick and long and heavy.  I almost give myself whiplash when I have wet hair wrapped in a towel. 

I've just ordered MSM, and it's coming shortly - I'll let you know how it goes.  I've done a lot of reading up on it, and it seems to have so many fantastic properties, including the hair & nail advantages.  Maybe google it to read some of the bits on it - there's lots of information out there.

I hope you are back to your spritely self in no time.

Hi
I also would be interested to know how the MSM goes as I also have a malting problem and with fine hair tis not nice to feel like you are running out of supply Does it also help with dry hair?

hi girls...Sheryl what is MSM and what are the benefits,ect...curious...

hope you're feeling better soon Alegne...i love the hair salon,tis so much fun,probably if you are losing some hair is good to keep it shorter..

i dont have any hair on my chest and i shave my legs as a cyclist for massage and keeping cooler, cleaner etc.

on raw my hair on my head grows extremely quick. have been shaving my legs for many years and cant notice any speed in growth there though.

my two brothers are also chest hairless but now are getting recceeding hairline.

they are age 31 and 39. im 29 soon. my brother hadnt seen me for  2 years till start of may. he came over from perth to say gday before my durian safari. among other things he noticed about my appearence , clear skin(my acne is gone, my brothers have massive scarring) is that my hair is far thicker than both bro's and that im dont have a receeding hair line.

so its good to be able to compare with family members.

i will get some photos up to show.

raw vegan delays aging.

now thats thesis material, if only there was a university in the world that was interested in studying anything worthwhile in regards to human health!!

instead of guzzling hotdogs and iced coffees between 'nutrition' lectures.
