I self-experimented by combining a tiny amount of the antioxidant, DMSO, with a large amount of hair conditioner, and I lost chunks of hair: Don’t try it. I tried distilling grape seed extract (GSE), but that didn’t work either.
Then I saw a hair-color commercial advertising it contains antioxidants: My daughter read every shampoo label at Wal-Mart and finally found one that had the word “antioxidants”; she bought it, I tried it, and I noted a significant decrease in hair in my brush.
But I began too late. Shampooing had already become too difficult for me. I had to ask my wife to cut my “Willie Nelson” hair because I couldn’t keep it clean and brushed anymore. (Yes, I’m that weak and still getting weaker). Normally, I wouldn’t say anything until I was certain, but I can’t do that this time; it would never get said, so:
I’m suggesting that anyone concerned about hair loss try using NEXUS Aloe Rid shampoo.
Try it for a couple weeks and see if it works for you. If it does, you might want to read my symptom migration story again; you might decide to spend $10.00 or so a month on GSE to see whether I’m right about that too.
A lot of things can cause hair loss, but if this shampoo prevents it, OFRs are to blame. I think they’re to blame for symptom migration too, and I wish prove it but I can’t. All I can do is say that it is too late for my hair, but it might not be too late for you…Vic
If naming a specific brand violates the TOS. I hope the mods will replace it with the words “trying any shampoo that has the word antioxidants on the label”.

Hi Vicc- thakns Im going to try it. I have significant hair loss especially since the coma. Of course they had to cut big chunks of my hair out that had become matted. But I did a Donald Trump until about two weeks ago and went in to a hairdresser and had my long hair(8" of it!) cut off. I have to tell you I love it. I never thought I would have short hair. but like you this is becoming diffucut for me with my arms remaining weak. thaks for the ost Ill let you know if my hair loss slows down. CZ
