I have adopted veganism as a way of life because I had a particularly aggressive form of cancer several years ago. I’ve always thought food –good food–was the basis of good health and was surprised when I learned that my very well respected oncologist knew nothing about nutrition. So, I was left to search for my self. OVer the years I had flirted with vegetarianism several times but always had a jproblem with proteins.

One caller commented on her daughter’s loss of hair on a vegan diet. I’m experiencing the same thing. Of course, I lost my hair during chemo. While it has returned, it is still quite thin. I know some of this is related to age–I’m a senior citizen. Otherwise the hair seems to be healthy; it doesn’t break off; it’s strong and shiny. I notice it is thinner inthe top . You indicted there were things to do to cure this problem. Would you please share them with me?

thank you,
