Hi Everyone

I have a disease called Alopecia Areata, where the immune system fails to recognize the bodies hair and rejects or attacks the follicles, causing hair loss. It used to be just a patchy problem that grew back within six months, however has progressed in the past two years to almost complete baldness. And half an eyebrow.

I have tried many things in pursuit of hair regrowth, including steroid injections, Rogaine, psoriasis ointment, natural oils applied directly to the scalp and finally a chinese acupuncturist/quack. So now I have decided to try diet.

I was wondering if anyone out there in internet-land has heard of the macrobiotic diet being used to treat this type of hair loss? And with what degree of success?

Please keep in mind that this condition is not the same as Androgenic Alopecia, or male/female pattern baldness.

Thanks for the help,
Oddment
