Alopecia & the Radiation Connection

By Kristin Harris March 23, 2023

Alopecia & the Radiation Connection

Alopecia & the Radiation Connection

This blog post is inspired by my own journey with Alopecia, which I have put into remission twice via diet & lifestyle modifications, as well as key supplements like Zeolite. I was greatly inspired by the blog post found here which helped me to connect the dots about why I was able to put alopecia in remission and how my hair loss journey parallels Porsche’s story. Additionally, it may be helpful to know I was diagnosed with Androgenetic Alopecia at the age of 27. I am now 37.

Key Points: Alopecia & the Radiation Connection

  1. Toxins = Deficiencies in the Body
  2. Heavy Metals compete with minerals needed for Thyroid Function, Energy & Mitochondria (1) (2)
  3. Glyphosate chelates minerals from the body needed for Thyroid Function, Energy & Mitochondria
  4. Glyphosate increases the bioaccumulation of depleted uranium (radiation) 17 fold. – 2010 Research
  5. Radiation Reduces Iodine in the Body, which impacts Thyroid Health
  6. Radiation Can Damage the Liver & therefore Impairs Thyroid Function
  7. Poor Thyroid Function Influences Hair Growth Negatively
  8. Uranium (radiation) may damage hair follicles and sebaceous glands
  9. Mercury, Cadmium, Thallium, Gadolinium compete with zinc: needed for thyroid hormone conversion & Hair Growth (3)
  10. Zeolite binds to & removes metals, glyphosate & radiation *See studies below

Self Assessment – Metal, Glyphosate & Radiation Exposures

  • Am I drinking tap water? and what’s in my tap water?
  • Am I getting exposed to metals & radiation via my shower water?
  • Have I received childhood vaccines & flu shots?
  • Do I have mercury or silver fillings in my mouth?
  • Have I had medical procedures that may have exposed me to metals, glyphosate or radiation?
  • Am I living in an agricultural area? Have I been exposed to glyphosate?
  • Do I have fluoride in my water? Do I get fluoride on my teeth when I go to the dentist for dental cleanings and procedures?
  • Have I received tattoos? *Tattoo ink contains metals
  • Do I have breast implants? *Implants contain metals

Zeolite – Tool to Eliminate Metals, Glyphosate, Radiation 

  • Zeolite removes Glyphosate, Metals & Radiation (1)
  • Start with spray or drops, start slow and low if sensitive *between meals
  • Work up to Cellcore’s HMET Binder between meals *Work with a Practitioner

How to Further Reduce Exposures to Metals, Glyphosate, Radiation 

  • Whole House Filter which Eliminates 4 types of Radiation
  • Distillation Machine for Drinking Water – Removes 99.9% of Toxins in Water
  • Hydrogen Water to Neutralize Free Radicals from metals, radiation, etc.
  • Camping Shower Unit to Shower in Distilled Water
  • Support Thyroid Health
  • Binder: Zeolite
Before Drinking Distilled Water
After Drinking Distilled Water
Drinking + Bathing in Distilled Water

How to Stop Hair Loss While Detoxing

  • Support Thyroid Health
  • Rosemary Shampoo to mitigate hair loss (1) (2)
  • Nigella sativa (Black Seed Oil) (1)
  • Coconut Oil Scalp Treatments (1)
  • Indian Goose Berry (1) *source of antioxidants to neutralize free radicals
  • Maqui Berry *source of antioxidants to neutralize free radicals from toxins
  • Vitamins & Minerals like Magnesium & Vitamin B6
  • Hair Savior Oil Scalp Treatments (rosemary, coconut, black seed oil)
  • Celluma Red Light Therapy

Important Take Aways

  1. The body is 60-70% water. You must drink & bathe in clean water for health, specifically your thyroid, which is responsible for scalp health & hair growth! Best filters: Whole House Filter & Personal Distillation
  2. Clean water detoxifies the body’s cells & flushes toxins. Water keeps the colon open, which is important because…
  3. Radiation is eliminated through the bowels! You must be pooping 2x a day!
  4. Zeolite grabs onto metals, radiation & glyphosate and removes it from the body via the colon (ie. bowel movement).
  5. Drink clean water, eliminate sources of metals & radiation in drinking water, shower water, tap water, etc.

Kristin helped me to lose 7 lbs within 2 weeks just by changing my diet and eating more often. She is very passionate about what she does and I learned so much about foods to eliminate that aren’t even food, but actually man-made: processed oils, high fructose corn syrup and GMO’s. Kristin is very compassionate and eager to help.
