NAC and resveratrol appeared to both greatly help-enough that 78.8 F was fine when using them.
They are making a salve for applying these, but you now know how to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy.
Probably why cold caps have been available for many years for those on chemo.
I just finished lots of chemo. Lost almost all of my body hair. I keep my hair very short so I don’t look much different. It’s going to grow back in 3-6 months.
Oh, I am leukemia free now after a bone marrow transplant.
As an aside, too many systemic antioxidants impair chemotherapy.
Which tells you they work as supplements against toxins, despite how the science is “unsettled”.
A good friend just started her chemo and has been using the cold cap since treatment one and so far no hair loss . She was going for #3 today. 🙏
I remember seeing Ann Jillian on Johnny Carson, who related that during chemo for breast cancer, the nurse put an ice cap on her head, and she didn’t lose a hair on her head.
I had a niece in her 40s who worked diligently at cooling her scalp during treatment for breast cancer. She wanted to keep her thick, beautiful hair.
She kept her hair, but it eventually became thin and brittle anyway.
No matter, though, as the poison from chemotherapy left her susceptible to the lung infectoon that eventually killed her in January of 2024.
The poison of chemo is not the answer.
But it sure does make lots of money for the drug companies.
