I recently found a gray hair on my head but the root and first two inched of growth was dark brown my natural color. I stopped dying my hair about 4 months ago. I was messing up on my diet about 6 months ago and eating some processed foods but I recently got back on the wagon. I also eat wild caught fish 3 times a week for my blood cancer (hemoglobin). The majority of my diet is raw and I have no explanation why a single gray hair on my head started growing brown again. I am 35. So I guess it is possible for your hair to change from grey back to your natural color. One thing you didn't mention in your article,,,, is I have noticed my eyes got lighter and greener and my hair also turned from a very dark brown to a medium brown since I have been eating a mostly raw food diet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977625349509171762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-33243688893989033042013-06-17T21:00:10.461-07:002013-06-17T21:00:10.461-07:00I find this article incredibly interesting.

I still use hair products, natural when I can, and don't fuss with it much. The gray is not as noticeable as it used to be. Hoping it does not take 25 years, however. LOL What do you know about using bear fat on hair to return the pigment? I was told that several Indian tribes do this. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220943885950987290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-16718768352374021962012-09-04T21:49:42.303-07:002012-09-04T21:49:42.303-07:00But, I'll presume the cats and horses you'...But, I'll presume the cats and horses you've known were kept by humans. Was the chimpanzee you knew living in the wild? I wonder if any of these were living natural lives... Most domestic cats for example have a very unnatural diet.<br /><br />Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-13957953764725538862012-09-04T19:34:40.400-07:002012-09-04T19:34:40.400-07:00You mentioned dogs get grey hair.

I'd be interested to know what proof you have that Ann was a liar. Maybe she was. <br /><br />Anyway, whether or not she coloured her hair (I don't have the information from which to say whether she did or didn't), the point of the article is to explore why we might get grey hair. It's not 'having a go' at those with grey hair or saying that it's less beautiful than any other colour hair. :-) It's simply hair, but - grey. (I also know my own locks will turn grey eventually!) <br /><br />I don't, however, agree with you that silver threads soften the ageing process, much as we'd all like to think so. Artificially-coloured hair - maybe, if it's obvious that the hair has been coloured.Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-86808654732060014642011-05-19T09:50:28.707-07:002011-05-19T09:50:28.707-07:00Most people realize that Ann Wigmore colored her h...Most people realize that Ann Wigmore colored her hair. Actually as you age the silver threads soften the aging process. I have been raw for years and still have silver gray hair and wouldn't change it for anything, I get compliments all teh time but I do keep it in an up to date style. Darker brown would look harsh just like Wigmore's did. anneannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16114677443317224756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-15110963506476650862009-10-12T09:17:11.132-07:002009-10-12T09:17:11.132-07:00Thank you for sharing this with us, Netty.

However, I'd suggest using fresh greens rather than green powder.<br /><br />As a Natural Hygienist, I feel the magnesium supplement is more likely to be doing harm than good. For my reasons for saying this (and also information on green powders) please see my article on supplements here:<br /><br />http://debbietookrawforlife.blogspot.com/2008/08/anti-supplements-why.htmlDebbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-47251379909950650692009-10-12T05:32:47.725-07:002009-10-12T05:32:47.725-07:00Hello,

I've been pulling greys for about 3 years (i'm 42) and recently noticed a trend of them changing back!!! I wanted to know what I'm doing. The only consistent things are 1) magnesium citrate 750 mg at bedtime 2) powdered greens in my morning smoothie!

Yes, it's good to have a healthy, youthful appearance as that all contributes to our being living testimonies to the power of raw food, and that will hopefully encourage others to find out more about it.<BR/><BR/>Receding hairlines...well, I am collecting data on that, but the file's quite slim at present. Of course it's complicated by the fact that it's something that (generally!) happens to men only. Jim, if you find anything on it, let me know!Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-56741903277121094142009-01-07T12:52:00.000-08:002009-01-07T12:52:00.000-08:00Very interesting article, Debbie!Similarly ...

But, either way (greying hair, receding hairlines, other signs of aging), it's kind of an important article particularly for raw foodists because, as a class, we tend to feel so damned good and young all the time! And, as such, it would be nice to look as young as you feel, right? <BR/><BR/>Of course, one could counter the whole argument with, "Well, this is a cosmetic issue, and we're so much more than our physical bodies." True... But, it would still be pretty cool to look the age you feel.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417562451071881536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-77332252423372399102009-01-05T22:41:00.000-08:002009-01-05T22:41:00.000-08:00Sheralle and Atwell, your comments are much apprec...Sheralle and Atwell, your comments are much appreciated - thank you!Debbie Tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345367033617524547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227591395966495076.post-91486878107069927122008-12-29T16:30:00.000-08:002008-12-29T16:30:00.000-08:00Very interesting article!Very interesting article!atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060021335029571213noreply@blogger.com
