Treatment - Onion Juice. Does it work?
"The two groups were advised to apply the treatment twice daily for two months. Re-growth of terminal coarse hairs started after two weeks of treatment with crude onion juice. At four weeks, hair re-growth was seen in 17 patients (73.9%), and, at six weeks, the hair re-growth was observed in 20 patients (86.9%) and was significantly higher among males (93.7%) compared to females (71.4%)"
The question I have is, have you tried to follow this regimen, and if so, how well did you stick to it, and what results did you get. Thanks.

Onions is one I want to try. You need to keep any trail up for 1 month at least, Kingsley in his book the Hair Bible says it can take from 2 months to 6 months. Keep a hair journal and note every day what you try and the results.
I would also stick to your guns. Iv seen a few dermatologists over the years (some 30 or so) Iv had AA and AU. All had a good head of hair, one was down right rude, but most just very sympathetic. The medicines they offer arent brilliant, I personally couldnt afford the money output and thats without the medicines. So this year Iv begun to go down the alternative remedy route and have already seen some minor regrowth.
There has been a great deal of interest in alternatives, so keep experimenting to find the one that works for you.
Its not about accepting you have AA or AU, its about trying everything while your accepting it. You dont have to sit back you can be active in it.
In the Uk or elsewhere some Drs simply do not believe unless its passed by the General Medical councel, or passed the medical trials that it isnt worth mentioning.
So I say keep to you guns, investigate everything and anything you can, do your research; after all their are those that get sudden reversal from the Alopecia, but apparently no one knows why!

I know this is a very old topic. But how did the ladies that tried this alternative treatment fare?
Did you find any difference ultimately?

Hey Melbournite!
I made a really long post on alternative treatments!
I just realized this was such an old topic.

So I have to disagree with people here saying that if dermatologists knew they would tell us. I did a whole study on the AMA and because of strong pharmaceutical lobbying (in the U.S.) the American Doctor's Association makes it illegal for a dermatologist to suggest "natural" healing methods that differ from altering your diet, exercise, etc. It's not the doctor's fault, but they could possibly lose their jobs over this. My old dermatologist actually suggested holding on to faith to me, because she maintained the belief that prayer heals. However, she told me quickly not to tell anyone she said that because of the reasons I already mentioned above.
Coming to the second thing about autoimmune diseases being incurable and the suffering being permanent, I disagree. I suffered from SEVERE eczema all over my body as a child. From the age of one to four. My parents took me to all the doctors they could think of so I would stop bleeding from all my open wounds. Nothing worked. Then they took me to a "hakeem" (In Pakistan, they have healers who only use herbal medicines, etc.) and I am living proof that eczema is not permanent. My fiance's baby niece has eczema and she's suffering at the hand's of American doctors who tell her nothing can be done.
I think one shouldn't lose hope, but they also shouldn't dwell on recovery. Try natural treatments, you never know they may work. I personally use blackseed oil for an hour befor I wash my scalp, and it's been working.
Long story short, I haven't tried onion juice but I've read great things about it in several places from people who have tried it. I have also heard that rubbing ginger on your scalp helps. I did it for a while but got lazy and gave up after a week. Ginger can be juiced and doesn't smell bad on hair. I know their was a acupuncture study done about ginger and acupuncture and AA and I believe it was effective. You might want to try looking that up.
I wish you well.

Hello every one, there is very promising news on the horizon in the microbiology world concerning Lform and biofilm form bacterial overgrowth within the human body and its direct correlation to inflamitory autoimunual diseases of all types. The studies show unmistaken connections between inflamitory diseases in the human body and internal biofilm bacteria that resides within the body gone undetected by current testing. Biofilm and Lform bacteria are the cause of all autoimmunal diseases the articles posted below show this. If interested please read the articles, personally I owe it to myself to read up on this current break through information. we are all victims of this current situation. If you wish to read the article just go to www.bacteriality.com and read Dr. Randalls discoveries on biofilm bacteria.
and also check out the Marshall protocol websites google Dr.Trevor Marshall or google the marshall protocol. I hope this information consoles every one who reads it in some way.
If you believe in this movement please let the word out contact your primary care physicians and inform them of this breakthrough information give them the websites so they can read the published articles and read about the current conferences and currently ongoing human trials in effect.

Hi. I want to comment on the positive effect of onion juice. I discovered I had Alopecia Areata August 2013. I had aggresive cortizone
injections. I went on a strong course of antibiotics and I used onion juice for 2 weeks everyday. All the hair on my bald spots, some as big as my palm, grew back. I also simplified my life as best I could. When I got Alopecia I was definitely stressed out with too much on my plate. But for 6 months I have a full head of hair. My son recently got bitten by a venomous snake and we drove 200km before we got help. It was extremely stressful. I could feel my scalp being sore as if it was bruised a month after the incident. And a tingeling. I realized there were acrivity on my scalp again. I started with the onion juice. I was amazed at how calm my scalp felt after putting onion juice on. I am waiting to see if bald spots appear again. But just based on how relaxed my scalp feels, tells me there is something very good in onion juice. I wanted to share that. It is worth trying. My son is fine after the snake bite.

Would the onion juice work for someone who has a hereditary issue with thinning hair? My mother has the same issue, really bad, and I feel I am losing more hair every day. I took vitamins, tried Regain, and nothing seems to work. The problem is making me avoid socializing with people because I am so embarrassed with my scalp easily seen due to hair loss. I read about saw palmetto, and I just ordered it, not sure if it will help my problem. I am also losing hair from my eyebrows. If you have any helpful suggestions, please let me know.
