A proponent of a diet rich in raw foods, Wolfe believes that “our diet must be raw, mineral-rich, and nutrient-dense to achieve the extraordinary result we are seeing.” Wolfe recommends a diet high in seeds, a wide variety of organic vegetables and juices and super-food blends. He also supports MSM supplementation: “The first thing you will notice after taking MSM is that your hair growth will be stronger and more vigorous.”
An organic sulfur-containing compound that occurs naturally in a variety of fruits, vegetables and grains, MSM, or methyl-sulfonyl-methane, is a water-soluble, solid substance. White and odorless, MSM has a slightly bitter taste and dissolves very easily, releasing bone-, skin- and hair-helping, biologically active sulfur. When MSM was fed to folks who were interested in improved hair health, nearly every participant showed increased hair growth when compared with a group taking a lookalike substance, according to Ronald M. Lawrence, MD, PhD, assistant clinical professor of the UCLA School of Medicine. An additional 30% showed improvement in hair brilliance.
Another supportive substance, silica, is one of the most abundant minerals on earth. In addition to its presence in sand, quartz and granite, the mineral is found in blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, skin and teeth, with the highest concentration found in nails and hair. A precursor to strong bone, teeth and connective tissue formation, a silicon-rich diet can improve the condition of aging skin, nails and hair. Silica is versatile in that it can be utilized both internally and externally, via high-quality, silicon-rich supplements and skin and hair care products. Foods high in silica include radish, romaine lettuce, New Zealand spinach, burdock root and oats, along with the skins of cucumbers, bell peppers and tomatoes. – Susan Weiner
