Book Description

Although hair loss affects millions, the medical literature is relatively scant on the causes and treatment of this condition. This volume is the first in-depth look at the practical management (both medical and surgical) of all forms of hair loss. Hair loss is a very common problem and often a significant source of patient distress. The authors here examine the different reasons for hair loss, from nutrition to genetics to drug reactions. A rational, organized approach to management is crucial as therapy can vary widely among the different kinds of alopecia. The text addresses all aspects of the condition and is ideal for any professional who attends to such patients.

Book Description
HAIR: Surviving the Fall is a self-help book for both men and women who suffer from hair loss. Hair is an important and symbolic part of the human body. It characterizes our personality, our personal identity, and our sexuality. Hence, its loss — for both men and women — has painful emotional consequences. Dr. Romweber provides historical, psychological and cultural contexts concerning the importance of head hair, and she shares the experiences of twenty diverse research subjects who experienced varying degrees of hair loss. Chapters include:the biological importance of head hair; the public importance of hair and the private effects of its loss; the unconscious meaning of hair; religious beliefs and the matter of hair; the sensual and romantic aspects of hair; grieving the loss of one's hair; nine techniques for coping with hair loss; resolving the trauma of hair loss; past, present and future treatments for the regrowth of hair; wigs, wigbands, hair extensions, toupees, rugs and other choices for finding a little hair peace. Based on Dr. Romweber's doctoral thesis, HAIR: Surviving the Fall is extensively documented with notes and references. Includes Index ... Read more

Your hair will begin to reappear and thicken within a few days of listening. Use this CD as directed and watch the hair begin to reappear! You'll be growing new hair even while you sleep. If you already have thinning hair, this is a great enhancer to regenerate a thicker, fuller head of hair.

Beware the Scam
Some very clever IT person has compiled all the Govt Health websites indexes, put them on a CD plus a programme to enable Internet access and called it an authorative Data source. Most of the websites included are not even relevant to the health topic ( in this case Hair Diseases and Hair Loss ). Even if you do find a relevant index, you will still need to search for the information you want, which may or may not be there. I imagine they use the same CD and change the name to " 21st Century Complete Medical Guide to ------- "( insert any disease ). I was also unable to access many of the files on the CD. I suggest you stick to Google searches, far cheaper and far more specific that this CD. ... Read more
