Hair Loss In Men - The Contributing Factors
By: Mike Jones
With hair loss in men, hair at the temples recedes and the crown can also begin to thin. Eventually a horse shoe pattern around the sides of the head appears. The main signs of hair loss in men: 1. Receeding hairline 2. Moderate to extensive hair loss, particularly on the crown of the head. About ninety-five percent of hair loss in men is attributable to Androgenic Alopecia also know as male pattern baldness. Some believe this condition includes three factors: 1) age2) heredity3) the male hormone testosterone As hair loss in men progresses, the hair becomes finer, does not grow so long and the bald spot at the crown widens. Finally, the thinning crown and the receding points may meet forming a horseshoe pattern with hair around the sides of the head. Hair loss in men can begin as early as 20 although for the majority of men, hair loss is more noticeable from the age of 35 to 40. DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is recognized as a main culprit. DHT is a combination of testosterone and androgen receptors mixed with sebum and dirt particles. Some hair follicles are particularly sensitive to DHT and tend to shrink when exposed to it. Finally the hair follicle may shut down altogether and the hair falls out. Another condition is called Alopecia Areata, in which hair comes out by the roots in one or more spots. It is much less common than Androgenic Alopecia. Other causes of hair loss in men can include scalp infections, nutritional deficiency, systemic illness, and severe stress.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles
of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
