Saw this in Dr. Gott's column yesterday:
Q: I am a woman who suffered w/hair loss. I was surprised you did not suggest any dietary changes or supplements to help the woman who wrote in about hair loss.
I first started losing my hair when I was 16. A neighbor who was a nurse told me to take vitamin B-1 (thiamine). It worked wonderfully. Many years later, I started losing my hair again. I read a book that recommended taking a B complex w/extra biotin, inositol and choline. I tried it, and this also worked well for me. About 2 years later, it happened again. This time I used the same B complex w/extra choline, inositol and biotin as before, but I didn't stop taking it this time. I now use it every day, and my hair is thicker and healthier than it ever was. I am 65.
A: Thank you for writing. You have offered yet another possible remedy to hair loss. I have received dozens of letters w/various treatments for hair loss ranging from folic acid to B vitamins to special shampoos.
I have had no experience w/using B complex but have received several letters that recommend it. I am publishing your letter for my readers who wish to try it. Please, readers, let me know what has or has not worked for you.
etc.
