Alopecia (baldness) is a condition, apart from male pattern hair loss (a testosterone situation,) that particularly concerns women. Men too, especially when it occurs before the age of 40. It is, unlike male pattern hair loss, an auto-immune condition. So can anything be done about it? Let's see what the research provides.

Drs. Alexis*, Dudda-Subramanya and Sinha of the Department of Dermatology, NYU School of medicine, showed how science has proven the auto-immune nature of alopecia. This is a clue to affecting change.

NOTE: Anti-inflammatories (AIs) and anti-oxidants act to combat auto-immune diseases. They include; aspirin and its lesser spin-offs, grapes with seeds, raspberries, etc.

Testing dogs with melatonin, scientists found 18 of 30 dogs showed "Partial to complete hair growth."
