So hair loss has also been linked to fat loss in scalp, that's why people tend to thin in front where scalp is thinner. It is the layer beneath your skin which is made of fats that the hair grows from, fats produce growth factors which tell your stem cells to grow hair. He suggested massaging crude oil and Vaseline, which are made up of different carbon based fats that could be absorbed by your fat layers and thicken it and cause it to grow hair. I created this thread for people with an open mind.....here they will stay and can be used as a means to improve your scalp.
OVERVIEW OF BALDNESS
The most commonly involved gland is the thyroid. It seems that when some elements necessary for proper thyroid functioning are missing, toxins which otherwise would have been eliminated are allowed to accumulate in the system. When this happens, inflammation, congestion, and circulatory disturbances occur, affecting the scalp and maybe the nails and skin. It is worth noting that the thyroid to some extent controls the circulation to the scalp, nails and skin, independent of the mechanism described above. When such disturbances occur, the outcome is hair loss with or without nail and skin changes, depending on the severity of the condition.
Impaired circulation from other causes may bring about the same effects without necessarily involving the thyroid or other glands, but is a much less common finding. The exception is spinal subluxation, being almost equally as frequent as glandular disturbance. It should be noted, though, that even when spinal subluxation is the primary condition, the glands often become involved as a result of impaired circulation through them (the thyroid especially). Hence in a large majority of cases the glands are either the primary or contributing cause of the condition.
In one or two instances, reference was made to prenatal tendencies as a contributory cause, but no definite information is available on this or on heredity.
II. Rationale of Therapy
The treatments recommended reflect the disease process involved and may be classified as follows:
These few examples are based on the assumption that the physiology described by Cayce is correct. Intuitively, it seems to make sense to me.
III. Suggested Therapeutic Regimen
Baldness is not a problem treated by the average physician, for there is no recommended medical treatment presently available. The following might be considered a reasonable approach to the average patient, from a study of the Edgar Cayce readings.
1. Correction of glandular deficiency.
Two drops for seven days, rest five days
Three drops for seven days, rest five days
(May repeat this series once or twice.)
3. Local measures:
A prescription is given in reading 636-1 for restoring hair color. Dosage is half a teaspoon three times a day after meals for ten days with five days rest periods.
Steps 1 and 3 seem to be a must, while 2 and 4 may be utilized at the discretion of the therapist, depending on the case being treated.

Here are some of his readings, each varies because he gave readings based on individual bodies, but they are very similar.....
6. (Q) Give scalp treatment for this body that will grow hair and cure baldness.
(A) Use equal parts of white pure vaseline and of crude oil. While vaseline is taken from thecrude, yet the plain crude with equal parts of white vaseline, rubbed into the scalp, would rejuvenate and give the necessary incentive to those bulbs in the scalp portion of this body to rejuvenate the scalp sufficient to grow hair and to prevent the falling out of others. Cleansingthis, after this has been rubbed well into the head (once a month) with a 20% solution of distilled water, with pure grain alcohol.
7. (Q) How long should the vaseline and oil be left on?
(A) From an hour to two hours. We will find when this application has been made two to three times, the change will be noted as to how the new hair grows, and as to the lustre, the life to that already growing. [See 195-34, Par. 10-A-
10. (Q) What is the condition of the hair and scalp? Is the treatment [recommended forbaldness] doing work as given?
(A) This has not been kept as thoroughly as it might have been, else we would find better results in this. While the condition is gradually on the improve, with the scalp itself, with this change the hair will begin to show. [See 195-11, Par. 6-A--7-A on 3/26/25 advising white vaseline and crude oil massage in scalp.]
11. (Q) How often should the treatment be given?
(A) At least once each two weeks.
12. (Q) Should any other treatment be given for the benefit of the hair and scalp?
(A) This as given will being about that as necessary to bring the healthy condition to the scalp. It will prevent the loss, and bring back much of that which has been lost. Well that the head be kept bare, in sunshine, as much as possible. This will assist, of course, in nature's activity in rebuilding in the system.
He suggested using olive oil based shampoos.....what does olive oil, crude oil and petroleum jelly have in common? They are all fats. His readings were given to improve condition of scalp to grow hair. The hair itself grows from a layer of fat beneath the skin. The layer of fat is what produces the growth factors that grow your hair when there is sufficient amount of fat cells. In other words, the hair stem cells are controlled by the fats.

Fatty skin cell clue to baldness

Fat cells in the skin have been identified as the source of chemicals needed to make hair grow, according to researchers in the US.
Experiments on mice, reported in the journal Cell, suggested hair stem cells were controlled by fat.
Injecting a type of fat cell stimulated hair growth in mice which otherwise struggled to grow hair.
The Yale University team says it may be possible to use the findings to one day restart hair growth to reverse balding.
Follicles
They said there was a four-fold increase in the number of "precursor" fat cells in the skin around a hair follicle when it started to grow.
They looked at defective mice which could not produce these fat cells. Hair normally grows in cycles, but in the defective mice - the follicles had become trapped in the dormant phase of the cycle.
Scientists injected fat cells from healthy mice into the defective mice. Two weeks later, hair follicles had started to grow.

They showed that precursor fat cells were producing a chemical - a platelet-derived growth factor - at 100 times the level of surrounding cells.
Injecting the growth factor into the skin of defective mice could kick-start growth in 86% of follicles.
The study proposed: "That [fat] precursor cells secrete platelet-derived growth factor to promote hair growth."
The US team is continuing to look for other chemicals which may be involved.
However, it is not known if the same chemical processes take place in humans.
Previous studies in men have shown that bald parts of the scalp had the same number of hair stem cells as hairy areas.
Prof Valerie Horsley, from Yale University, said: "If we can get these fat cells in the skin to talk to the dormant stem cells at the base of hair follicles, we might be able to get hair to grow again."
The study suggested the fat cells could have other functions involving stem cells such as tumour formation or healing wounds.

Hair Loss.- team of American scientists have identified stem cells found in the fat under our skin that are in charge of determining the growth and fall of hair in the head.
These cells produce a molecule called as PDGF (Plaquetes Derived Growth Factor) is linked to the growth of hair and are the ones carrying the signals that decide when the hair has to grow and when it has to stop growing.
When the hair falls, the stem cells deactivate being unable to generate hair. However, these cells remain in the roots of the hair. Now, scientists from the University of Yale have found the way of activating these cells again which means that boldness can have its days numbered.
The results of the study have recently appeared in the medical magazine “Cell”.
The fgf9 everyone is talking about will be produced naturally if you fatten the scalp with crude oil and Vaseline massages. These reading were given in the1920s -40s, there may be better sources now as far as fattening your scalp, maybe emu oil. But do what you can especially us dermarollers, you already started rebuilding the scalp, there will be a point where you need to maintain and let it thrive. That's where I am. Circulation and fats are the key.
OVERVIEW OF BALDNESS
1. Physiological Considerations
Glandular insufficiency and spinal lesions (subluxations), according to the Cayce material, are by far the most common causes of hair loss (baldness) which may be accompanied by nail and even skin changes (abnormal pigmentation, vitiligo, etc.). Glandular dysfunction - usually the thyroid but the thymus and adrenals may also be involved may come about through the diet, i.e., insufficient amounts of necessary elements like calcium, or excesses of others like potassium. Other causes of glandular dysfunction include insufficient circulation, stress, infection, toxic chemicals (as found in cosmetics), general debilitation, etc.The most commonly involved gland is the thyroid. It seems that when some elements necessary for proper thyroid functioning are missing, toxins which otherwise would have been eliminated are allowed to accumulate in the system. When this happens, inflammation, congestion, and circulatory disturbances occur, affecting the scalp and maybe the nails and skin. It is worth noting that the thyroid to some extent controls the circulation to the scalp, nails and skin, independent of the mechanism described above. When such disturbances occur, the outcome is hair loss with or without nail and skin changes, depending on the severity of the condition.
Impaired circulation from other causes may bring about the same effects without necessarily involving the thyroid or other glands, but is a much less common finding. The exception is spinal subluxation, being almost equally as frequent as glandular disturbance. It should be noted, though, that even when spinal subluxation is the primary condition, the glands often become involved as a result of impaired circulation through them (the thyroid especially). Hence in a large majority of cases the glands are either the primary or contributing cause of the condition.
In one or two instances, reference was made to prenatal tendencies as a contributory cause, but no definite information is available on this or on heredity.
II. Rationale of Therapy
The treatments recommended reflect the disease process involved and may be classified as follows:
- Correction of glandular dysfunction usually includes dietary advice where deficiencies are involved. Atomidine and sometimes glandular extracts (thyroid, adrenals, etc.) are necessary.
- Osteopathy: Series of treatments to correct spinal subluxation that may be causing circulatory, glandular and other organ system dysfunction as well as hair loss.
- Others: Treatment of underlying disorders (e.g., avoidance of stress and toxic chemicals, treatment of infections, etc.) as well as complications of basic disease process (e.g., spinal subluxation usually causes widespread effects) which may contribute to or aggravate the hair loss.
These few examples are based on the assumption that the physiology described by Cayce is correct. Intuitively, it seems to make sense to me.
III. Suggested Therapeutic Regimen
Baldness is not a problem treated by the average physician, for there is no recommended medical treatment presently available. The following might be considered a reasonable approach to the average patient, from a study of the Edgar Cayce readings.
1. Correction of glandular deficiency.
- Atomidine: Various programs were prescribed. There is no given formula for arriving at dosages. One suggestion is as follows:
Two drops for seven days, rest five days
Three drops for seven days, rest five days
(May repeat this series once or twice.)
- Thyroid extract in small doses two to three times a week for a few weeks in combination with Atomidine in severe deficiency.
- Other glandular extracts (replacements), as necessary, e.g., adrenal.
- Correction of mineral deficiencies and/or excesses (e.g., low calcium, high potassium). Calcios is a good source of calcium (a layer on a cracker taken every other day).
- Dietary:
- The skin of Irish potatoes cooked in Patapar paper (to preserve active principles) supplies some essential elements for proper thyroid function. This may be eaten three or more times a week. (Roasted or baked is also good so long as it is not burnt.)
- Other helpful hints for better thyroid activity include citrus fruit juices - orange juice plus lemon or grapefruit juice plus lime - in combination with Atomidine will act on the thyroid to improve circulation to the scalp. Seafoods were recommended three times a week. Carrots are good.
- Avoid: fried, greasy foods, fried meats, starches, refined sugars, onions, garlic.
3. Local measures:
- Crude oil massage to the scalp (one teaspoon) to stay on from one-half hour to 45 minutes. Then cleanse with a 20% grain alcohol solution. Follow this with a massage using white petroleum (Vaseline) into scalp (not too greasy).
- An alternative would be a scalp massage with pure hog lard, leaving this on overnight after covering head with an oil cap.
- Shampoo in the morning with olive oil shampoo followed by a massage with white Vaseline cut with a little alcohol (one drop grain alcohol to one ounce water). Either may be done once a week.
- Violet ray treatment (20-25 times) to scalp, spine, scapula, umbilical area for a total of five to ten minutes on a daily basis. Ultraviolet ray treatments may be used instead, this done every third day, limiting treatment to scalp and spine for three to five minutes for 20-25 treatments.
A prescription is given in reading 636-1 for restoring hair color. Dosage is half a teaspoon three times a day after meals for ten days with five days rest periods.
Steps 1 and 3 seem to be a must, while 2 and 4 may be utilized at the discretion of the therapist, depending on the case being treated.
