Baldness Informative Book: A Cure For Baldness. By Desmond Edwards.
Man has been plagued with baldness for thousands of years. Hairfall and baldness have been a source of embarrassment and great concern to man since the dawn of recorded history. More than 4,000 ancient Egyptians show recipes for the cure of baldness and various alopecias. Julias Caesar is said to have spent a fortune on doctors throughout the area of the world which he conquered - desperately seeking a cure for his baldness. In the 2,000 years since his death we have not been anymore successful in growing hair on areas of the so called Male Pattern Baldness - that is, UNTIL NOW!
Hair is a remarkable substance and it serves us well - it can have a great influence on our lives, in many ways. However, some of us, about twelve million adults in Britain, cannot hold on to what we’ve got; half of these are under the age of 45. Hair loss is so common that 75% of men over 40 show signs of baldness - this process usually beginning by the mid-twenties.
Facts About Hair Growth. Heredity Influence - How Can This Be Overcome?
The normal healthy head of hair contains some 120,000 hairs, approximately. The condition and growth of your hair very much depends on the general state of your health. Body cells depends on a rich supply of health-giving nutrients for their well being and vitality. These nutrients are brought to cells by the blood stream, and if the quality of the blood supply is poor, and if the vessels making up the blood circulatory system are clogged, or otherwise defective, then the tissues they feed will manifest this poverty.
Naturally of course, this includes the scalp, in whih the hair is housed. Poorly fed, the hair will reflect this by being brittle, and lacking lustre, and will eventually part company with the roots - perhaps for ever.
Hair will only grow and thrive, and renew itself, when the scalp is kept loose (this is why correct fingertip massage is so good) and its blood supply is rich and umimpeded. In fact hair reflects the nutritional status of its owner. Analysis of hair can reveal nutritional inadequacy or deficiency. The reason for this is because of the amazing capacity of the hair to reflect in its cells, the general health of the body.

Male Pattern Baldness is certainly the most common type of Alopecia, caused partly by inherited genes, and partly by the male hormones in your body. Certainly, if you have a genetic tendency to baldness, these hormones will be entering your hair cells and preventing the hair from growing as healthy as it should; hair from growing as healthy as it the scalp becomes thin and baldness sets in.
Women do not have the problem to the same degree as men, but they do have thinning hair whichis psychologically disturbing, if not more so, particularly in young women.
Every hair on our bodies grows from a tiny "root" under the skin. These roots are deep down in the skin in special tubes called follicles. At the bottom of each follicle are tiny blood vessels which bring food to the cells. The new cells grow. They push the old cells up along the follicles. At the bottom of each follicle
