How to control hair loss and extreme shedding?

Rapid shedding is usually caused by an assault on the immune system. This can be caused by a variety of external and internal sources such as stress, prescription drugs, anti-biotics, excessive alcohol, marijuana usage, and bodily trauma.

The good news is that to control the shedding, the actions are the same.

1. Detoxification:
A. Sweat- run, exercise, steam, simply get your sweat glands working. The same glands that are in your skin that manifest sweating are also in your hair follicles. By inducing rapid sweating you will flush the hair follicles that are being effected by the negative immuno-atmosphere. For extreme shedding, sweat daily... then drink plenty of water.
B. Decrease sugar consumption- sugar can feed negative inflammatory microbes in your skin and hair follicles. By decreasing sugar consumption, you will inadvertently decrease those inflammatory microbes. Remember, sugar comes in many forms. Flours, fruit, sweeteners (sorbitol counts), and milk (lactose) contain "sugar". Veggies, protein sources, and teas are recommended within the sugar reduction period. This dietary change may need to last a week or even months in some extreme circumstances.

2.Shedding control products:
C. Topical anti-microbials: inflammation caused by these microbes can be controlled by applications of antimicrobials nightly. The HairStem topical and haircare kit is only hair care system that can achieve total antimicrobial suppression. Apply the PM and PMb topical alternating nightly and shampoo with the HairStem shampoo daily.

The alternating usage of the topical product kit decreases the chance of microbes on the scalp building a resistance to the treatment.

Low Level Laser Therapy for Hair Loss, "The Bald Truth"

I have been on “center stage” in the field of Low Level Laser Therapy for hair loss since late 2002. Since then, many companies have open their doors attempting to do what we do in pursuit of simply making money. 

Tonight, I was on the Bald Truth Radio Show with host Spencer Kobren discussing a former client who has opened up shop and has potentially defrauded hundreds of people. The state of Illinois has filed suit again him and hopefully his reign of terror will soon be over.

With that being said, I would like to reiterate the power of Low Level Laser Therapy when used correctly to help substantially reverse hair loss. Laser Hair Therapy, although powerful, is simply a tool in the whole scope of your personal hair loss treatment.

Laser Hair Therapy must be used in conjunction with the correct essential adjuncts to create dramatic results on the masses. After watching literally thousands of clients regrow hair over the years, there is one thing that I have observed that always remains true… everyone is different. You must use every tool in your arsenal to ensure hair re-growth on everyone.

In the Evolution Hair Centers clinics, we use “integrated” Low level Laser therapy techniques in all of our hair loss treatment programs. By integrating therapies, the client has the greatest opportunity for success because you are not simply relying on one method to produce results. Laser Hair Therapy will only enhance your forward hair growth progress once the root cause of a client’s hair loss has been corrected successfully.

At Evolution Hair Centers our integrated programs produce dramatic results. With an 8 year proven track record, I look forward to continuing to produce client success stories one client-at-a-time and pioneering the greatest success in the Low Level Laser Hair Therapy field.

David Hoffman of American Hair Growth Centers EXPOSED!

Has anyone been following American Hair Growth Centers? If you have, you may be asking yourself: Who is David Hoffman, "the hair guru"?

After all of the fuss with Natural Hair Growth Institute and their fraud charges, NHGI is probably not a place that you can trust to grow your hair back. Yet, it appears that without question American Hair Growth Centers is... Natural Hair Growth Institute, simply renamed.

For the sake of argument, lets assume for a minute that American Hair Growth Centers is a real  company. Even though there is no Illinois corporation record under that name. Ok... then who is David Hoffman?

After some investigation it turns out, David Hoffman "the Hair Guru" is .... (drum role)... no one. He is an Istock Photo image.  (See Image 3). Link to Istock David Hoffman, an another, and another.

In fact, he is the same Istock image that was used on the Natural Hair Growth Institute's site "The Bennis Solution" page. (See Image 2 below).

Even more interesting, there is a glitch in the American Hair Growth Centers site. When you scroll over the founder bio page, The Bennis Solution appears in the drop down box (see Image 4 below). Yes, the very same Steve Bennis of Natural Hair Growth Institute.

One more thing about Hoffman: In David Hoffman's bio he states " I started to lose my hair at 18 years old... At first I tried Rogaine. The dermatologist recommended that I use 5% Minoxidil AKA Rogaine".

How old is Hoffman? Maybe early 40's judging by his picture (the Istock photo). That would make him 18 years old in the late 80's. Minoxidil 5% was not even available over the counter until December of 1995.  The only form of Rogaine available at that time was 2%.  Hmmm...interesting.

As a colleague wrote me today, "Would the real David Hoffman please stand up"!

One more thing, the old www.naturalhairgrowthinstitute.com website forwards to American Hair Growth Centers. That's weird.

Jury Awards $50 Million to Avacor Victims

An Alameda County, Calif., jury late last month returned a $50 million verdict (.pdf) in a class action that sought relief for Californians who'd bought Avacor, a hair-loss remedy that was marketed as an all-natural, clinically tested product.

Attorneys fees have yet to be decided, said L. Timothy Fisher, of Walnut Creek, Calif., firm Bramson, Plutzik, Mahler & Birkhaeuser. New York lawyer Scott Bursor and New York firm Faruqi & Faruqi also represented the plaintiffs. There were about 150,000 purchases of Avacor in California during the class period, but since some were reorders, the exact size of the class is unclear, Fisher said.

The outcome against two defendants marked the second trial victory in the same class action for the plaintiff lawyers. The earlier trial had ended in a $40 million win against different defendants, but Fisher said the awards from the trials will not be added together, and he expects the court will order that $50 million in all be returned to the class.

Both trials took place before Alameda County Superior Court Judge Robert Freedman.

The defendants in the latest trial were two officers of Global Vision Products Inc., Robert DeBenedictis and Henry Edelson -- a court stay after the company's 2007 bankruptcy filing had kept them out of the earlier one. DeBenedictis was represented by Peter Hart and Michael Collins of LeClairRyan's San Francisco and New York offices, respectively. Edelson was recently representing himself and did not appear at trial.

One of DeBenedictis' lawyers said his client was just an investor and not directly participating in the company in its early years, and that he planned to appeal.

"Once he became involved in 2004, he took every effort he possibly could to get the company back on the straight and narrow and get its advertising in compliance with the Better Business Bureau and the Food and Drug Administration," Hart said. "We think the jury looked at his position and made the leap that just because he was president, he was responsible." To bolster that thought, he noted that the jury had found in DeBenedictis' favor on allegations of conspiracy with defendants from the earlier trial.

Name plaintiffs Garrett Boyd and James Thomas claimed Avacor's three-part "hair re-growth program" was misleading in selling itself as an all-natural, clinically tested product with no side effects. Fisher, one of their lawyers, contended that Global Vision Products' advertising referred to a clinic that didn't exist, a study that was never done and success rates that had no backing. The company, having filed for bankruptcy, was not included in either trial in Thomas v. Global Vision Products, RG-03091195.

Testimony that DeBenedictis continues to sell Avacor seemed influential with the jury, Fisher said.

"We got the sense that they understood how many people had been defrauded here and that this was a widespread scheme, that this was something that [they] needed to put a stop to."

But Hart said that while DeBenedictis has an interest in a new company, Avacor, no state or federal agency is claiming that selling the hair remedy is improper.

The 2007 trial involved three principal defendants: Avacor's creator, a Nascar driver hired as its celebrity spokesman and a former doctor who appeared in ads for the product. The jury returned a verdict of just under $37 million. In his May 2008 statement of decision, Freedman increased the award to $40 million.

"The court can and does take judicial notice of the fact that enormous sums of money are spent on personal care and grooming products," Freedman wrote in that decision (.pdf). "Into this lucrative market stepped a band of hucksters, defendants, to prey on the vulnerabilities of human nature and employing a colossal array of false, deceptive and fraudulent techniques cynically collected millions of dollars from deceived California consumers."

American Hair Growth Centers took down stolen photographs

American Hair Growth Centers has admitted wrong doing and removed Evolution Hair Centers' stolen Before and After photos from their website within 2 days of being issued a copyright infringement warning.

Steve Bennis who has been acting on behalf of American Hair Growth Centers, has claimed that he sold the company to a firm out of Florida and is not the owner of this clinic. Mr. Bennis would not reveal the identity of American Hair Growth Centers' new proprietors.

Today, in a recorded discussion between Steve Bennis and William Gaunitz, Steve Bennis was issued an additional copyright infringement warning in regard to duplicate copy of text from multiple Evolution Hair Centers web pages. Mr. Bennis was adamant that he was again simply acting on behalf of the new owners and he would pass the information along to correct sources. He asked to give him 2 days to review the situation.

After an investigation of the Illinois Secretary of State public corporate filing records, there is no registered company and/or DBA registry for the company called "American Hair Growth Centers".

Warning Issued to American Hair Growth Centers (aka Natural Hair Growth Institute)

As of 3:35pm EST, Steve Bennis and the American Hair Growth Centers have been issued a warning about stealing copyrighted imaged from Evolution Hair Centers® website. Steve Bennis, who is currently being sued by the Attorney General of Illinois for fraud in relation to his other hair growth companies (Natural Hair Growth Institute and Omega Hair Group), was verbally warned by William Gaunitz today during an 11 minute phone conversation that took place on December 23rd, 2009 at 3:35pm EST.

Steve Bennis admitted to setting up the new website and said that he did not believe that site was even up yet. Never the less, his new name for his previous organization will not continue to dupe consumers in to believing that American Hair Growth Centers or Natural Hair Growth Institute can actually regrow hair by using our before and after photos.

This will be the first of many blog articles exposing Steve "Wahib" Bennis if he does not comply with the 10 day notice to remove Evolution Hair Centers'® copyrighted before and after pictures.

Thanksgiving - A special time, a special story

Thanksgiving is a time to be with family and friends and to cherish every moment of it.  This holiday, with all the smells from the kitchen and family coming to visit, embed some incredible memories.

Recently, I was reading about a spiritual warrior named Huston Smith. This man has trained with Zen masters in Japan, camped with aborigines in Australia and dropped peyote with Native American shamans. He didn't just study religions; he lived them.  He was also responsible for introducing the Dali Lama to the west. But this story is not about his great spiritual achievements but rather about the toughest battle of his life, losing his youngest child to cancer. 

We wanted to share this story with you because of the power and the spiritual strength that his daughter possessed in dealing with death.  

The following is an excerpt from the story:

"Nobody wants to learn from a child how to die well, but I learned it from Karen," he said. 

Smith traveled around the world to study under some of the most famous spiritual masters. But it was his daughter who became one of his greatest teachers.

"She taught me nobility of spirit," he said.

He said Karen's courage continues to "console" and "guide" him as he draws closer to his furthest shore.

He can still hear Karen's final words as she slipped away in her bed.

"I hear the ocean," she said. "I can smell the ocean now."

...And from all of us here at Evolution Hair Centers we wish you a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday! 

 

UK Hair Transplant Surgeon Takes Stand – “You’re Too Young For a Hair Transplant”

Dr. Farjo, currently the UK’s leading hair transplant surgeon, is calling for appropriate age restrictions after seeing a disturbing trend of teenage boys wanting to undergo hair transplantation.

Dr. Farjo’s clinic receives calls from the parents of boys as young as 16 years old who desperately want to help their child restore their receding hairlines, but Dr. Farjo thinks it’s the responsibility of the professionals to better educate these families and to “just say no.”

Dr Farjo explained:”Hair loss can be quite unpredictable in its early stages, with the full extent of loss difficult to determine in men under the age of 30. Men under this age should consider taking preventative drugs such as propecia, in an effort to slow down or stop their hair loss. However, a few online sources and commercial clinics are encouraging very young men to consider surgery to restore both their follicles and self-esteem.”

He added, “Surgery may improve the hairline of very young men in the short term; however, if further hair loss occurs they could find themselves with inconsistent coverage, giving them a ‘patchy’ look.”

In recent years Evolution Hair Centers have seen an increasing number of men in their early 20's that have had transplants in their late teens prior to starting laser treatments.  This is a growing concern and a trend among young men that are receiving bad advice from so called experts.  Most of those individuals not only had the surgery but spent thousands of dollars on treatments that could've been avoided.

Evolution Hair Centers’ EXCLUSIVE Breakthroughs

To date Gaunitz has been attributed with developing 4 major breakthroughs in the hair loss treatment industry only offered by Evolution Hair Centers.

1. Liver and Kidney detoxification - Gaunitz' first clinical discovery supported a theory established by Chinese and Indian cultures over 400 year ago. When Gaunitz first began his treatment process in the US, he noticed that a particular type of client was unable to achieve success or developed hyper sensitivity due to excessive toxic load carried by the average American lifestyle. Through two combined natural methods of detoxification added to the original program, Gaunitz increased cumulative results by over 33%.

2. Light and Dark Haired cold laser treatment protocols - prior to the advent of this system blond haired individuals suffered very mild results through laser therapy because of the lack of energy delivered to the reflective light hair pigmentation. Gaunitz discovered that by varying doses of energy in higher intensities, a dramatic positive response could be generated with no additional effort by the client.

3. Alternating single daily dose topical treatments - Until Gaunitz' breakthrough, conventional Minoxidil treatments such as the well know brand Rogaine, resulted in minimal hair gains and with a 2 years maximum effectiveness life span. In 2007 Gaunitz developed two completely unique formulas that only required once daily applications that reduced the potential for six effects by 400%, increasing the life span of treatment indefinitely.

4. Elimination of micro-inflammation through use of a natural anti-microbials - until 2009 Gaunitz had noticed that a small percentage of clients had noticeable micro-inflammation that was uncontrollable without use of unsustainable and unsafe antibiotics. Through extensive testing, Gaunitz developed a completely safe and amazing effective anti-microbial treatment protocol that has boasted results to entirely new level. Gaunitz has a patented pending on his latest discovery.
