Question:
“I am thinking of trying Thymuskin. Will this stop my immune system attacking my hair follicles? I have tried nanogaine in the past to no effect. I have had bald patches since I was 19. They have normally grown back quick quickly but I have had hardly any regrowth this time around for about 18 months, the patches are the biggest they have ever been too. I am using nanofibres at the moment which are a god send!
I have read that lack of iron can cause hair loss? I have had blood tests in the past but they have always been normal. I don’t eat a lot of meat. Can you recommend any foods apart from beef? Are there any supplements which help hair growth? I’ve just started taking iron vitamins.
Answer:
Hi, I would still say Thymuskin is the best product out there. nanofibres are great aren’t they! I hope you buy them from us - we have multi-buy discounts on with them right now.
Onto your supplement question - the Thymuskin range has the GKL supplement which is very good though very expensive. If you can wait a couple of weeks we are stocking a new product for us that may help too but I’m not going to tell you what it is so you don’t buy it from anywhere else - cruel aren’t I! Actually it’s called Pilfood and is from Switzerland - we are just finishing reviewing the clinical trial data to ensure we’re happy with is but results look good in their tests. We should be stocking it in the next week or two. Oh, make sure you drink plenty of water also!

Question:
Since I was a child I have pulled at my hair, every day! I don’t even notice I’m doing it normally until I look and see a load of hair in my hand. It’s so bad I actually create bald spots can you believe! I’ve been to see a hypnotherapist as a child but it didn’t work. I tried visiting my GP who just said it was genetic and basically told me to get over it!! Do you have any products that can help? Please, I’m at my wits end.
Answer:
Oh dear! Doctors eh! Some are great and some are, well, not so great! There is no proof that your condition is genetic though some reports have suggested that it is hereditary.
Firstly, it sounds like you have a condition called Trichotillomania - which medically is commonly referred to as an impulse control disorder. There is a wealth of information about this condition on the internet and I suggest you check out some non-for-profit sites about this.
There aren’t really any treatments for this of a cosmetic of pharmaceutical nature that I’m aware of - your condition really needs referral to a physchologist who may well be able to help you. If you pull out your hair so that is thins, rather than creates total bald spots, then the concealer nanofibres may well help - you can find that on are combat-hair-loss.co.uk site.
We are currently looking at providing a resource centre for this condition subject to an online poll of our visitors to see what demand there is - so watch main site for such a development.
