Transcripts
hey guys in this video I want to discuss
with you the topic that is scalp the
grossest one of the major underlying
cause de factors and some things you can
do naturally to start to remedy it and
possibly even restore the natural
coherence to your scalp tissue so your
hair can grow normally again
[Music]
so this video topic was inspired by the
large popularity growing around our hair
loss and hair regrowth videos as well as
the forever healthy hair course that
we've created over at the Wellness
Academy so it probably goes without
saying that hair loss is a major topic
of interest it's definitely a popular
topic here on the channel because hair
loss tends to affect men more than it
does women however women too are
definitely very negatively affected by
hair loss especially given its
underlying pathology you know we have a
pretty equal amount of female and male
students at the Wellness Academy in that
particular course so I'm very aware that
it's negatively affecting both men and
women and the topic that is scalp that
broses is something that also both men
and women should be aware of and its
roles in the development of hair loss
and for men particularly the slick shiny
bald scalp that you see typically
associated with the male pattern
baldness or the androgenic alopecia so
in short if you're not aware of what
scalp the grossest is or if you've never
even heard of this in relationship to
hair loss then you're probably gonna
find this video incredibly insightful if
you're not even aware of what the word
fit Prosis means it's actually very
simple to understand and break down the
grossest generally refers to scar tissue
so when a tissue becomes the product
there's an overt accumulation or
production of collagen fibers so a skin
fibroblasts and this leads to scar
tissue so the collagen becomes very very
thick and if you've ever touched a scar
they're sort of like numb you can kind
of dig your finger into it a little bit
I don't have a scar on my knee and it's
rather insensitive and this is because
the skin there becomes very very thick
due to the over accumulation of the
collagen fibers and this can obviously
lead to the dysfunctioning of that skin
tissue so in the case of scalp Thurber
osis we're literally talking about a
scarred scalp which is why you see in
particular regions of the scalp or maybe
the entire top of the scalp it gives
this shiny slick appearance and that's
the scar tissue and of course how this
can negatively
affect the growth in the health of the
hair is because the scalp as skin tissue
becomes impaired it's not functioning
properly and in this case the hair
follicle is typically dormant beneath
that shiny fit product issue and
obviously the hairs on can be able to
grow through that thick layer of
collagen which results in the appearance
of baldness so obviously this is a major
concern because this is typically what's
more so associated with permanent hair
losses once the scalp of a particular
region becomes fit broddick then the
hair follicles are basically lying
dormant and they're incapable of
penetrating that fit product issue so
you're not going to see any hair growth
in those particular areas however there
is hope there is things you can do about
it
not all scar tissue is permanent there's
tons of research around the regeneration
of the product issue there's interesting
research on the benefits of things like
glycine and apigenin original and even
things like aspirin for restoring the
coherence to liver fibrosis which has
been otherwise considered irreversible
so the point is the product issue can be
restored and regenerated if you're doing
the right things but I think the
important thing to understand here is
that when dealing with hair loss
ultimately the underlying causes are all
the same the difference in various types
of hair loss are due to the chronic
NIST's it I'm not sure if that's even a
word but basically how long has the
underlying stress been persisting
therefore determining the rate or the
progressiveness of the hair loss so in
the case of a slick shiny bald head you
can rest assured that that person has
probably been undergoing some chronic
metabolic stress for a very long time
because ultimately all scar tissue is
preceded by inflammation or injury so
there has been chronic stress that has
been going on probably for years leading
to chronic inflammation and over the
time that chronic inflammation has been
slowly and slowly basically leading to
the accumulation of this scar tissue in
the scalp now the big question is why
does it accumulate in just a certain
pattern of the scalp certain region of
the scalp when there's an
no direct injury so normally if you get
a scar you fall down cut yourself it's
obvious why there's scar tissue in that
particular area and at least according
to some pretty sound physiological
research this has a lot to do with
something called mast cells so mast
cells for those of you unaware are
basically immune cells they are the
Centennial's of the innate immune system
basically they're being produced anytime
there is a perceived threat or change in
the physiology in the biology that's
throwing off homeostasis and they're
going in there and they're trying to
regulate the injury or the stress what's
interesting here is that the
accumulation of mast cells has been seen
to be four fold in the scalps of balding
men as seen in this study so this means
in other words that given what mast
cells are in their roles in the body
that in the scalps of balding men these
people are undergoing chronic stress so
they're experiencing these four fold the
amount of stress of a normal person
resulting in the increased production of
these mast cells and their activity
constantly trying to regulate the chaos
in the stress that's occurring in the
body and basically over time what tends
to occur is that as stress becomes
persistent and chronic that the mass
elzar 2d granulate and the inflammation
starts to negatively affect the tissues
surrounding the body so you could look
at inflammation and the damage of
inflammation as really a byproduct of
the body's attempt to survive and cope
with a stress so in fewer words you
might consider the degranulation of
muscles or the accumulation of them to
be a sign that the body has undergone
chronic stress and the immune systems
chronically constantly trying to cope
with that stress regulate things and get
the body back into homeostasis so it's a
good sign that the body has been
undergoing stress for some time so this
is the big difference between our
viewpoint in the conventional viewpoint
our viewpoint is that hair loss is a
maladaptive response to stress meaning
that certainly your genetic
predisposition could affect that because
you know birth is a stress you know how
you were raised could be a stress there
is a
certain predisposition but at the end
the day your response to stressful
events your psychological mental and
emotional health your diet your
environment your lifestyle habits all
those things could be activators of
stress that initiate the entire chain of
events that lead to baldness on the
other hand you know the conventional
viewpoint is you know don't consider any
of your actions no you're not in charge
of anything you're just a victim or the
effect of your genetics and that's just
simply not true it also makes you a
victim incapable of doing anything about
it so that's why I don't agree with that
viewpoint and what's interesting is that
looking at this research just sort of
validates our viewpoint more and more
because ultimately we're finding out you
know in the scouts of balding men
there's four fold the amount of mast
cells that should be in the scalp and
the mast cells are only activated by a
disturbance of homeostasis meaning that
wood is preceding the mast cell activity
and degranulation is always some sort of
disturbance some sort of stress it could
be a toxin it could be psychological
stress it could be a dietary stressor it
could be an environmental stressor any
of these things could activate the
degranulation of mass cells or the
activity of the immune system in fact
there's over 200 known mediators or
activators of mast cells meaning that
there's over 200 things that could be
contributing to baldness in this
particular way or scalp Thurber osis and
I want to talk to you about three of
these major mediators or activators and
give you some helpful tips for
inhibiting them thus preventing the over
activation of the mast cells which could
potentially not only prevent you from
experience in scalp fibrosis or baldness
but could give your scalp a break from
stress and help it start to regenerate
so of those three primary activators we
have estrogen estrogen activates
something called prostaglandins and
there's a particular type of
prostaglandins prostaglandin d2 that are
not only known to accumulate in the
scalps of balding men but our actual
activators of mass cells and the other
major one is histamine and what's
interesting is all
three of these tend to have a feedback
loop with one another estrogen actually
stimulates prostaglandins and histamine
but all three of them into themselves
are also activators of mast cell
degranulation which could lead to scalp
Thurber OSIS so in summary scalp
fibrosis is basically the scarring of
the scalp which is preceded by
inflammation or injury to the scalp we
also know that in the scalps of balding
men are particularly the product scalps
the shiny bald scalp there is a
four-fold accumulation of mast cells
which are immune cells that are only
being produced in response to some sort
of stress inflammation or injury so this
tells us so far that scout fibrosis is
preceded by mass cell degranulation
which is preceded by an immune response
inflammation or stress and the
particular biochemical stressors that
start this whole chain events some of
the major ones are estrogen
prostaglandins and histamine and this is
actually all fantastic news to figure
this stuff out because there are simple
things we can do to start inhibiting the
production of these major activators of
mast cells which would ultimately be
contributing to at the products scalp so
I want to give you a couple of very
simple tips now for inhibiting these
activators and therefore inhibiting
scalp fibrosis and potentially even
reversing it so the first thing I'm
going to recommend as always is to just
take a quick look at some of the videos
we've made on how to lower estrogen
basically those videos are going to give
you just about everything you need to
know as to how to start to lower
estrogen in your life and your diet and
some helpful herbs and supplements to
rid the body of excess estrogen that's
going to be huge because estrogen is a
major mediator - not just the mast cells
but the other two major activators the
prostaglandins as well as histamine the
second thing you're gonna want to do is
take proactive steps to lower that
histamine one of my favorite herbs on
the planet is nettle root because it
really is one of those cure all sort of
herbs it targets all of the major
problems or underlying cause two factors
in a lot of the issues people are
dealing with today hyperactive immune
systems chronic inflammation chronic
allergy
responses excess estrogen and even
excess histamine so it's a natural
antagonist to the production of
histamine which is probably one of the
other major reasons it's so fantastic
for helping with hair loss so nettle
roux is a fantastic natural
antihistamine but in addition to
supplementing with that nettle group I
would also recommend just adhering to a
general low histamine diet so if you
want to learn more about what that would
look like you could very easily just hop
on Google type in low histamine diet get
something that looks like this a list of
the highest histamine rich foods and
start to avoid those or decrease your
intake of them now something else that's
major in regards to all cases of hair
loss and all health problems is to
reduce your stress easier said than done
which is why we have tons of videos here
on the channel that dive into everything
from how to use cognitive therapy
exercises approaches to various herbs to
lifestyle practices to reducing stress
and one of the reasons this is so
important in regards to scout there
broses is because the corticotropin
hormones or stress hormones secreted
under stress can actually destabilize
mast cells causing them to become
granulated and over accumulated in your
scalp and body overall another thing
you're gonna want to do is take
proactive steps to inhibit those
prostaglandins one of the best ways to
do this is to avoid the consumption of
polyunsaturated fats they contain fatty
acids like linoleic acids which are
actually the building blocks of the
prostaglandins so by avoiding the
consumption of their building blocks you
can prevent their overproduction and
last but not least just to give you a
couple of very helpful herbs that can
help inhibit mast cell degranulation
overall some of the best that have been
proven are going to be herbs again like
in nettle root herbs such as turmeric
holy basil thyme and ginger in one way
or another all these herbs can help
stabilize mast cells preventing their
degranulation and the fibrosis of the
scalp so there you have it for those of
you who have been dealing with hair loss
or if you've been particularly wondering
what to do about scalp fibrosis these
are just a couple of really fantastic
tips there are of course more things you
can do outside the realm of this video

well-rounded viewpoint and some
practical things to get you started but
