First of all, it's a pleasure to be here. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ray Peat and those who are intelligent enough to entertain his ideas.
Secondly, what the hell is going on with my hair? My hair started thinning about 3 years ago (I'm only 22 now) when I went zero-carb to cure my acne. The acne went away, but unfortunately, it Kickstarted my balding. When I came round to brown rice, pasta etc, it was too late. For the next three years, I was on a diet high in poultry, pufa, fiber (tonnes of whole grain breads with added soy every day, brown rice, brown pasta), cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, spinach, cauliflower practically every day), intense exercise, and alcohol (I was at uni, after all). It was also a diet extremely low in sugar, saturated fats, dairy, and perhaps, sleep. I feel like a fool, because for so long (with the exception of alcohol) I thought I was being extremely healthy.
While my hair has gotten slowly worse, I've also started to notice dense, black, kinky, pubic like hairs springing up all over my scalp. They always fall out in the shower, and are often on my pillow in the morning. I don't seem to lose normal hairs any more. Unfortunately, I can't tell whether these pubic hairs are new, regrowths of old damaged hairs etc. They don't grow as long as other hairs, and they look disgusting, like little worms. I'm starting to think that my entire MPB area is turning to this sort of hair. Has anyone else ever experienced this? What was the outcome? Did anyone solve it?
Ive very recently started a Peat-style diet: I'm feeling warmer, happier, losing fat/building muscle, skin looks great etc. and I'm waiting to see what happens with hair loss.
What I'd like to know is...
What insight can Peat-a-tarians offer about this strange hair growth? Hormones? Cell damage? I've searched the Internet high and low for information but all I can find is some vague link between similar cases and PCOS, which I've heard from Danny Roddy is related to premature pattern baldness.
I have faith that the Peat community can offer some useful information :) All the best guys.
