My name is Brian Simonis, I am an author, researcher who is educated in
all aspects of
Orthomolecular Medicine.
Besides my medical
expertise and avid interest in androgenetic alopecia, I am involved in
the FOREX market and stock-index futures trading, both swing and
intraday, using my own form
of technical analysis.
What makes "Immortal hair" different?
I take no interest in financial gain concerning hair loss, that's what
makes me quite unique. Information
provided on this website is free, however you will find ads that help
offset the costs of domain and hosting fees. Furthermore, I am a
contrarian by nature
yet I am also an idealist. I have tremendous respect for money
and before the subject of hair loss, my prior "obsession" was
over the making of money in the smartest fashion imaginable.
The financial world is rife with dogma, just like the pharmaceutical world is....and yeah, it's all about the bucks!
Virtually every level and educational paradigm in life is littered with psuedo-scientific, inconsistent
nonsense in its teachings! How many times have you heard something is bad for you,
only later to find it's actually good for you?
Researchers who are dependent upon food frequency questionnaire
data, which is of an epidemiological nature, and therefore not
scientific. Yet these are the types of studies the media serves
to confuse audiences. The issue of caffeine and coffee alone have
stirred up
tremendous controversy over the years. They're both good for you,
and are there exceptions? Always, and moderation is a rule of
thumb when in doubt.
Society abroad is loaded with diet dictocats!
Everywhere you turn you hear, "Eat your vegetables!," "Cut down your
fat intake!," "Lower your cholesterol!," "Exercise 'till
your guts fall out!, "Red meat causes....(fill in the blank)!"
Guess what? Rarely are there absolutes to anything.
For example exercising too much causes cardiomyopathy (weakening of the
heart muscle) as well as severe coronary atherosclerosis (most common
cause of death in marathon runners). Are soy isoflavones and red
meat really bad for you? I
don't believe so (HPTA changes revert to normal within 3-months, fermented soy is much preferred),
should anyone eat either? Not necessarily, we
are all different. Many of our most "sacred" studies on diet and
nutrition have been fundamentally flawed.
Too many
studies have lumped Transfat in with healthy tropical saturated
fats. Is animal fat really all that bad for you? Depends on
how the animals were fed. The healthier they ate, the better
their essential fatty acids profiles will be in the fat contained.
What I find astonishing is the fanaticism over controlling
cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a major building block for
your sex and adrenal
hormones and keeps your liver and nervous system functioning
properly. Reducing dietary cholesterol isn't the solution, but
you may find how effective eliminating starch and sugar is. If
your body reduces its cholesterol count by way of a natural and
nutritional process, that is a very positive thing! However, when
cholesterol levels rise, it is a protective effect and should be
respected, rather than being chemically lowered.
Too much refined
carbohydrate can load us up with triglycerides. If you're a
vegetarian who eats strictly real vegetables and doesn't overindulge on
refined food, then you're doing just fine. Just make sure to
include plenty of vegetable protein in your diet. Amino acids
like L-Carnitine, L-Arginine, and L-Lysine are vital for potency,
strength, and vitality!
Not only are the right kinds of fat important, so is the avoidance
of too many of the wrong kind, namely refined vegetable oils and
hydrogenated oils. Fats like margarine, vegetable shortening, and
other oils that are
super heated or pumped with hydrogen in them.
Certain fats
however, can be fried without detriment to your health. Let me
repeat that--saturated animals fats are great for frying; you
know the kind we stopped using due to the false belief that
superheating vegetable oils for frying was "healthier." Tropical
fats like Coconut oil and palm oil, those once maligned oils once
thought to cause heart disease--they're also great to fry foods
in! It's all about the smoke point and heat tolerance.
When we're searing away with vegetable oil, millions of free radicals
are being generated, yet even worse setting off a cascade of
inflammatory prostaglandins. The kiss of death for adverse
hormonal influences on hair.
A food is bad when it has been altered from its natural state.
This is done to usually prolong the shelf life, but it doesn't do the
same thing in us!
It's because the proliferation of media hype showing flawed study after
another, only serving up sensational controversy with "news" brought
out by out-of-context material by misinformed, novice "health
authorities" is why we are so inundated with so many medical misfacts.
Because you heard it on TV it's got to be right.... right?
Wrong! Falsehoods promoted to fact, it happens all the time, and
it helps form millions of mistaken opinions. Business
drives the industry of the media; what's good for business?
Sensational, superfluous, out-of-context headlines with little
relevancy
in the real world, but often misconstrued and delivered under
questionable pretenses. Notice the words "may" are used so often?
The implication or suggestion often gets "promoted" to a false medical
fact. These myths get perpetuated, yet few actually question them.
What makes me so right? I don't take anything I hear from the
media as gospel. One has to ask themselves where the media is
getting all this information from. Take a real long look, and
take a real long look at the kind of study it was.
Not only do I investigate the source, I interpret the quality of the
study. What most unsuspecting people do not realize is that the
majority of health reports in the media are spewed forth on the basis
of supposed interest and not of quality. Controversy seems to
work well for them.
I've meet and spoken to thousands of
people over the years to find out what really works and what
doesn't! Medical professionals and patients who have witnessed
all the angles of conventional and alternative medicine.
Everyone is different, you have heard it before and it's true.
Not one single drug or medicine is right for everyone.
Don't believe anything you read or see on t.v., even question me! Of course I believe that I'm right. "Scientifically proven" is an oxymoron. There's always exceptions to the rule.
