Horsetail - Uses and Side Effects of Horsetail
Oh I get mine from my doctor. But thank you for the info on it.
A doctor will prescribe horsetail? I thought it was a herborist job ? WOW you have a GREAT Doctor!
I go to a Endocrinologist for my hormone issues. I get all of my vitamins from her. Some Rx some are not. These Dr are hard to find, but they are very knowledgeable and great for hormone issues.A doctor will prescribe horsetail? I thought it was a herborist job ? WOW you have a GREAT Doctor!

Love your mood, innocent just like your avatar pix, cute!
That is the kind of Dr I need!

yes I have been so HAPPY with this Dr. She is really good, and takes an entire HOUR with me every appt. I only go every 6 or so weeks now. If I have any questions or problems, I have her email. I just email her and she answers me right away. Saves me a lot of hassle sometimes. Believe me there are times when I have really stupid questions. But she never makes me feel like I am stupid for asking-I like that!Love your mood, innocent just like your avatar pix, cute!
awwhhh thank you-![]()

Oh Canada! I went to the local drug store today (Shoppers Drug) and found 2% Nizoral being sold over the counter. Needless to say it shocked the socks off me! There have been so many things that I have looked for up here in Canada and have been disappointed - this was a total surprise. So, of course, I bought a large bottle and went happily on my way.You must be able to get it in Canada-look at this link
NizoralÂae
Some claim that the 2% Nizoral is as effective as minoxidil for hair loss - so I am going to give it a try. One site that I read advised that the shampoo be applied and left on for 3-5 minutes, and that this be repeated 3 times a week.
Let me know if you like it. It is blazing hot out (108 F) maybe later tonight I will go out and see if I can't find it. Think CVS or Wallyworld would have it, or Target maybe?Oh Canada!

I would think so. The store that I found it was the Canadian equivalent of CVS, Walgreens, Osco, Rite Aid - you know, the chain drug stores that have flyers every week. I paid full price (4oz, $18C) and will keep my eyes open for when it goes on sale.Let me know if you like it.

Oh Canada! is right!
All I could find was 1% ketaconozole 4oz at Walgreen for $10USD. It's blue, not the pink stuff. The 2% pink stuff was the good stuff that made my hair full, bouncy, soft and smelling heavenly! I had 4 bottles of it but DH threw it away because he said it was "old".

Correction - ask for the Great Pyrenees instead!
Ok so I found only 1% Nizoral too ($9 or so dollars), but I decided on the 2% Minoxidil instead. It was more $ but I thought I may as well try it.
I'd go with the minoxidil too, gymrat. Is it labelled "for men" - even though women also use it for the same reason?Ok so I found only 1% Nizoral too ($9 or so dollars), but I decided on the 2% Minoxidil instead. It was more $ but I thought I may as well try it.
No it is for women, that is what drew me too it. I only bought the one month treatment. I will let you know how it works and you do the same with yours ok?I'd go with the minoxidil too, gymrat. Is it labelled "for men" - even though women also use it for the same reason?
I find this to be a great product which worked for me and still does

P.S. I also picked up some l-tyrosine today. I am certain that part of my problem is thyroid. One of the last things that my doctor did before I left for Canada was check my levels of thyroid hormones, and they were fluctuating so we did not do anything at the time, but now I suspect that I may be seeing the impact of low levels. Thanks for the info.
Do you have curly hair Lydia? Most of the Bain de Terre things made my thin and limp babyfine hair even more....limp! I bet it works great for you lucky curly girls.
My experience with minoxidil is that it really beefs up the root area nicely. Like a root lifter.
My thyroid is OK, I checked.
