Please help, facial hair loss
Hi, I'm recently experiencing patches of facial hair loss. It is mostly on my left side, some on my right.Some of the spots have dandruff, and are going gray.
It's not circular specifically, some are lines of missing hair, or some weird shapes. It's spread across. The sidez are probably a quarter of a dime, except for one line which is like almost an inch but maybe vertically 2 mm high.
I have been going through stress so that might be a factor, I am not sure. I also had a very bad cold (might have even been the flu, though I don't think I had a fever) which turned into bronchitis. This might've sparked the hair loss I have heard.
My diet has not been great, For the last half a year or so I had nothing but chicken and beans. I realize that this is not the best way to approach nutrition and have been adding more food.
I have read that phosphorus 200 has helped some people, I was wondering if I can try this.
Also, is 200 the same as 200c and 200ck?

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. I will look into Nux-C 200.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you come across to this helping with hair loss on the beard exactly?
http://www.joedelivera.com/?p=254
I see he has his own way of helping this issue. Then I also read topics that Phosphorus is good.
Of course I appreciate all help, just trying to understand how this works.

Also, regarding the Nux-V, would liquid be better than pellets? It's a lot more expensive. Would pellets be ok?
How much is a single dose, whether it's pellets or liquid?

There are lots of things to consider before prescribing. You need to do a very detailed study before you could do analysis and prescribe. I don't mind, if you first want to use phosphorus, you got all the details on the link , so you may follow it.
Its your choice.
If you want to buy liquid or pellets.
If medicine in pellets, 4 pellets makes a dose.
If in liquid, 2 drops of medicine in 3 teasepone of water, sip up slowly.
Also, I would like to know if you are married? If yes, then you are giving more time to your friends than family, kindly confirm (this is related to your remedy).

No, no I am not married.
Would you be ok if I try Phosphorus 200 first?
I heard somewhere that if someone uses Phosphorus 200 then other homeopathy drugs dont work anymore. I don't know if this is a myth, though?

Thank you for your response. I have went to a local homeopathic store and have bought phosphorus 200c. However the box says 'dry cough 200c' -- is there different types of phosphorus 200c? or does the label not matter?
The ingredients say 50% alcohol, 30ml. Is the amount of alcohol right? It might be weird to ask, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to make sure.
The one thing that I am confused of is how long to take it, for instance I seen the other topic say take a dose just once and stop. The person took a dose twice a day for 3 days. I seen other websites where someone took it three times a day once every two weeks. This doctorhowever is telling me to take 15 drops twice daily, indefinitely. Might you think this is too much? Can taking too much Phosphorus 200c cause complications of any sort?
The phosphorus 200c was my idea, but the doctor of the homeopathic store also reommended Kali Phosph 6X. Are you ok with that?
As always I appreciate the help.

The Label doesn't matter.

Homeo medicines are preserved in alocohol, so it is very much normal.

It depends, for which symptoms you are taking the medicine. Some people prescribe for daily 3x use, some use it once or twice a week, some prefer wet dose, so it all depends on you. Also the number of drops, it is absolutely your choice.
The phosphorus 200c was my idea, but the doctor of the homeopathic store also reommended Kali Phosph 6X. Are you ok with that?
Its ok - you may take kali phos alongwith phosphorus, no harm at all.

Hi,
I would love some input here, if anyone has some to share I'd appreciate it.
I'm using Phos 200c, Since about early Jan. I have been doing 15 drops 3x daily, for one week, then one week off. It has been a little over three weeks and I have seen new hairs sprouting. Not in every single spot to fill up the patches, but I have noticed new hairs.
My question is, should I continue doing this since I see some hairs growing in? Or should I stop for some reason? I see some people recommend Phos or some other homeopathy and tell them to stop after one or two doses. Should I continue or stop?
Thanks for any information.
