In the thread, Symptom Migration: My Story, I wrote about how antioxidants can protect against symptom migration. I have written a lot about the role of oxygen free radicals (OFRs) in this disease, and have long believed that these OFRs are responsible for my hair loss too, but couldn’t find a way to prove it.

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”.
