My hair is falling out too, everyday I'm losing more, but figured it to be age, seasonal change, shock to the system. I'm not taking topa just the supplements and vitamins.

I haven't had this problem, but I believe that there are some supplements recommended in the book to help with hair loss, and there is always good old Rogaine for women. Good luck!

Yes, Mona is losing her hair too. I figured it was the long term use of alcohol that was doing it? No, I don't take topa. I was hoping the All in One would help. Any suggestions out there?

Here's what the book says to alleviate the hair loss side effect:

• One 200 mcg. selenium tablet daily
• two 100 mcg. biotin tablet daily
• Rogaine .05% massaged directly into the scalpOne to two 10 mcg. organic zinc lozenges daillyRegular consumption of green tea.

This is probably the one that scares the hell the most out of me with topa is hair loss. That and not sweating. I am only in week two.

P>S as far as sweating... no prob.

The not sweating could be problematic for some, but for me it has been a miracle since I am in the "magic years of menopause". I still sweat when I exercise and stuff, so it's not been dangerous or anything, but bye, bye, hot flashes!!!:happy:

Yeah??? Topa helped the hot flashes??? I have not gotten there yet - it will happen to me any day. I am still on birth control pills - have not given them up because I know if I do I'll go through menopause (sorry for all you guys that have to listen to this, but tough ). that's the best news I've heard all day (but it is only 5:45 am:H )
