An estimated 40% of women experience noticeable hair loss by the age 40. Women rarely lose their hair due to genetic predisposition. However hair loss in women is reaching new high levels. Women’s hair loss can start as early as the late teens to early twenties. Most commonly, women experience an overall thinning of hair rather than a receding hair line like men do. It is normal to lose 50 to 150 hairs in a day; however hair loss in women usually occurs when these hairs start to be replaced by shorter, thinner hairs. This can be hard to notice at first, but over time it can become very apparent. Thinning hair loss in women may be caused by many problems:
Hormonal imbalance and other cyclical shifts.
Hair loss related to pregnancy postmenopausal trauma.
Effects of medications including birth control pills.
Nervous conditions including tension and stress.
Medical treatments such as chemo therapy and thyroid conditions.
Harsh chemicals such as commercial shampoos, perms, hair color, and bleach
Iron, vitamin and mineral imbalance.
Severely poor diet including dehydration.
Poor circulation can cut off the nutrients that blood flow delivers to the scalp.
Good News For Hair Loss Suffers:Women have a higher success rate than men, because they have less testosterone and fewer, more evenly dispersed receptor sites in the follicles. In as little as 3 months you can start to notice fuller, thicker hair and even new hair growth.
*Regenerx penetrates the hair shaft, restoring the follicle, resulting in
thicker hair.
*Regenerx improves circulation by increasing blow flow to the scalp.
*Regenerx also acts as a thickening agent that naturally conditions
and will not alter or damage color treated hair.
*Regenerx is all natural safe alternative to Rogaine however without the side effects associated with minoxidil which can include scalp irritation, itchiness and dryness. Also, unlike minoxidil, Regenerx does not contain any alcohol or propylene glycol (PPG) which can really irritate the scalp and alter or damage color treated hair.
Finally...the solution for thinning hair. Regenerx was developed from clinical research work conducted at Department of Dermatology, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, in Scotland. Treatment with this formulation in the patients suffering from mild to severe hair loss showed significant improvement compared with the control group. Researchers have concluded that pharmacologically active stimulants for hair growth are present in this formulation of specific essential oils and that these oils can be therapeutic in patients with alopecia and thinning hair. The researchers also point out that the formulation caused no side effects, while steroids and other common agents can cause adverse side effects as described above.
Regenerx contains a unique blend of natural oils like cedarwood, rosemary, and lavender which help stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp. More blood flow allows more of the important nutrients and vitamins to reach the scalp. Increased blood circulation can help awaken previously dormant follicles and promote new hair growth.
Regenerx formulation also includes jojoba, grapeseed, thyme, and rosemary oils to help condition and revitalize the scalp. These ingredients contain antioxidants like vitamins E and C which neutralize free-radicals that can damage cells of the scalp. Natural oils like these moisturize and soften dry, damaged scalp to help restore hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth. Jojoba and grapeseed oils are also very effective carrier oils. Carrier oils promote the absorption of other oils into the skin to further increase their effectiveness.
Hair follicles can sometimes become clogged with build-ups of sebum that inhibit hair growth. It’s important to clean out this build-up to make way for new hair growth. Lavender, thyme, and jojoba are natural oils that can clear out sebum to make way for new hair growth. In some cases bacteria can inhibit hair growth. These oils also have antiseptic properties that can destroy harmful bacteria and soothe the scalp to create a better environment for hair growth.
Women experiencing hormonal changes often find that their hair starts to thin and becomes brittle. Years of harsh treatment combined with blow-drying and exposure to the sun may irreparably damage hair and decrease volume. Regenerx is a natural way to bring back fuller hair by stimulating hair growth as well as volumizing existing hair using natural essential oils. Whether you are experiencing advanced women’s hair loss, noticing a slight thinning of your hair, or want to prevent hair loss altogether. Regenerx provides a unique and effective treatment for women’s hair loss that can have you seeing noticeable results just in 2-3 months. You don’t have to suffer from the effects of hair loss. Finally there is solution for thinning hair.

What happens if you stop paying your premiums on your Long-Term Care Insurance Policy?
What happens if you stop paying your premiums on your Long-Term Care Insurance Policy?
What happens if you stop paying your premiums on your Long-Term Care Insurance Policy? When you purchase a long term care insurance policy it is important that you make a long term commitment to pay the premiums for an extended period of time. If you stop paying your premiums it is likely, as with most types of insurance coverage, that your policy will be canceled therefore loosing all premiums that have been paid in. Having non- forfeiture benefit options added to your policy will help protect the policy holder but it can be very expensive.
Some companies do offer a non-forfeiture benefit option to protect the policy holder from loosing premiums paid in when canceling a policy. A non-forfeiture benefit option offers the policy holder protection if they decide to cancel their coverage for whatever reason. A non-forfeiture benefit option can add 10% to 100% to a policy’s cost depending on the age they are at the time they take out the policy and the type of non-forfeiture benefit option that they buy. States may also require insurance companies to offer long-term care policies with a written offer of non-forfeiture benefit. Policy holders are given a choice of benefit options with different premium costs. Such options include reduced paid up policies, shortened benefit period policies and extended term policies.With these benefit options the company gives you a paid up policy when you stop paying your premiums. With a reduced paid up policy, your policy will have the same benefit period but with a lower daily benefit and with a shortened benefit period policy or an extended term policy the policy holder will have the same daily benefit period but with a shortened benefit period. This is all dependent upon how long the policy holder pays their premiums and the amount of premium they have paid in. A return of premium non-forfeiture benefit option may also be offered to policy holders and is generally the most expensive type of option. With a return of premium non- forfeiture option the company will pay back to the policy holder, all or part of their premiums that they have paid in if they drop their policy provided they have paid their premium for a certain number of years.
If you do not accept a non-forfeiture option some states will make it mandatory for a company provide a contingent non-forfeiture benefit option. A contingent non forfeiture option provides the policy holder protection if they are no longer able to pay their premiums due to the carrier increasing premiums to a certain level. With a contingent non forfeiture benefit option, if the premiums increase to a certain level the contingent benefit will become effective. The policy holder will then have a choice to either reduce the benefits so that the premium stays the same or covert the policy to a paid up status. If the policy holder converts the policy to a paid up status they would have a policy that is equal to the premiums that they have paid in.
What happens if you stop paying your premiums on your Long-Term Care Insurance Policy? If you make the right choices early on you can avoid potential problems in the future. Ask a professional how to plan accordingly.

Aromatherapy and Hair Loss
How to use Essential Oils to Treat Thinning Hair
Aromatherapy dates back to the Egyptians and has been used for centuries
to treat a variety of bodily conditions. Losing hair causes both women and
men anxiety and has generated a multi-million dollar industry. But studies
show that inexpensive, home-grown remedies might just be the best
answer. Aromatherapy consists of concentrated flower extracts, leaves and
roots from different plants that aid regeneration.
This kind of hair loss is referred to in medical terms as Alopecia Areata. It's a
patchy kind of baldness thought to be related to an autoimmune disorder.
Scottish dermatologists, including Isabelle Hay and colleagues from the
Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, ran a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
trial on 86 people with alopecia using the following essential oils:
Thyme vulgaris, Thyme (2 drops, 88 mg)
Lavandula angustifolia, Lavender (3 drops, 108 mg)
Rosmarinus officinalis, Rosemary (3 drops, 114 mg)
Cedrus atlantica, Atlas Cedar Wood (2 drops, 94 mg)
These oils were mixed in a carrier oil which was a combination of 3 ml of
jojoba and 20 ml of grapeseed oil. The control group received unscented
carrier oils alone with no essential oils added.
The oils were massaged into the scalp for a minimum of 2 minutes and a
warm towel was wrapped around the head to aid absorption of the oils.
Patients were advised to use this technique every night.
Professional photographs of each patient's scalp were taken at baseline,
three and seven months. Observed changes over this time period served as
the primary outcome measure. Outcomes were also measured by mapping
bald patches and severity of alopecia with a four-point scale.
At the end of 7 months the results were impressive: 44% (16 of the 35
patients) had noticeable improvement compared to 15% (6 of 28 patients)
in the control or placebo group. The average hair regrowth with the
essential oils was 104 square cm compared with nearly zero for those in the
control group. (see Hay, Isabelle C., et al. ?Randomized Trial of
Aromatherapy: Successful Treatment for Alopecia Areata.? Arch. Dermatol.
1998; 134:1349)
Is 44% response rate worth the effort to try these essential oils? It's
important to note that according to the authors of this experiment, this
percentage is approximately the same response rate dermatologists expect
with standard medical therapies.
The results indicate that aromatherapy is a safe and effective treatment for
this kind of hair loss. Trying this alternative treatment is a lot less expensive,
requires fewer or no doctor visits and has a lower risk of side effects. So
what have you got to lose?
