I know how to reserve hair loss.
Keep Your Hair: Preventing Baldness Through the Use of Sunshine and Natural Foods
Biologists, in looking to the world of the future, picture our descendents as people with completely bald heads and small, weak
bodies. They do this on the assumption that we will continue our present course of degeneration. There can be little doubt but
what the loss of hair is a chief sign of such degeneration, and that it is becoming more common year by year. If this trend is
carried to its logical conclusion, our descendents may well be a race of bald-headed men, and perhaps bald-headed women
also. These will not be our immediate descendents, but rather those living in a distant age.
The fact that baldness is common only among civilized races who use devitalized foodstuffs should dismiss any ideas about
the loss of hair being normal to healthy persons. Generally speaking, the best physical specimens are those who possess the
most hair. This is true both of individuals and entire races. It does not necessarily follow that good health is a sure preventive of
baldness but it is true that this is usually the case. In rare instances healthy individuals following a hygienic mode of living lose
their hair. The reason for this is at present unknown. However, this does not alter the fundamental fact that good health and a
good, heavy growth of hair are usually allied.
SUNSHINE HELPS TO PREVENT BALDNESS
Sunshine, both natural and artificial, is of proven value in treating scalp disorders which involve loss of hair. This was shown as
early as the nineteenth century by Dr. Nagelschmidt of Berlin, Germany. This doctor used a quartz sun lamp in about 200
cases of baldness. He reported that 129 of the cases were remedied, 79 were improved, and II were not helped at all. It is to be
noted, however, that 43 of the patients withdrew after one treatment. Of those who underwent the full set of treatments 82.5 per
cent were completely remedied. At first these statistics may appear a bit startling. However, Dr. Nagelschmidt is considered a
reliable authority and published photographs of many of his patients before and after treatment to show that his method
accomplished the desired results.
Dr. Lorand, author of Old Age Deferred, also reports success in treating baldness with the quartz lamp, and he claims that
natural sunshine is also effective. In his own case he noticed a new growth of hair after exposure of the scalp to the quartz
lamp and natural sunshine. He further indicates that, judging from his observations at Rollier's sunbathing institute in
Switzerland, even though the scalp is not exposed directly to the sun, if the rest of the body is exposed, hair growth is
increased. The experiences of Dr. Nagelschmidt and Dr. Lorand are similar to those of other observers who have had
experience in treating baldness with natural and artificial sunshine.
The effects of sunshine upon hair growth should indicate the advisability of not wearing a hat during the summer months when
the hair and scalp may be exposed to the rays of the sun. It is also well to refrain from wearing hats for another reason, this
being that the tight band of the hat may partially prevent the circulation of the blood to the scalp. But the importance of not
wearing hats should not be overestimated. Hats are not the primary cause of baldness. They are only a contributory cause.
