My daughter, Doris Le, 14 , got gray hair since she was twelve years old. what medication can treat this ?

Answer 1

Medicine/drugs actually create grey hair and takes it away. In my opinion here is the cuase of most issues (grey hair or no hair).

Heavy Metal Poisoning

Definition
Heavy metal poisoning is caused by metals that accumulate within the body`s fat cells, central nervous system, bones, brain, glands, and/or hair to produce negative health effects. Such metals are unsafe at any level in the body, and their presence in the body is not normal.

The most common heavy metal poisons are lead, cadmium, mercury, and nickel. Aluminum, while not a heavy metal, can also cause toxicity and poor health. They are by no means the only toxic metals that can cause poor health.

Symptoms and Types
Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning can vary greatly, and depending on the type of metal toxicity, the age of the affected person (children are more susceptible to heavy metal poisoning), the length of the exposure, and the presence or absence of protective minerals and other nutrients that inhibit the absorption, binding, and effects of the toxic metals. For example, calcium deficiency exacerbates lead toxicity, while normal levels of calcium in the body help to protect against lead toxicity.

One common side effect of these metals is a metallic taste in the mouth. What follows are other common side effects for each of these toxic metals:

Aluminum: Aluminum toxicity may be associated with headaches, cognitive problems, learning disabilities, poor bone density (osteoporosis), ringing in the ears, gastrointestinal disorders, colic, hyperactivity in children, and ataxia (an abnormal walking pattern). Its possible role in poor memory or Alzheimer`s disease is speculative at this time but also worth noting.

Cadmium: Cadmium toxicity can cause fatigue, irritability, headaches, high blood pressure, enlargement of the prostate gland, increased risk for cancer, hair loss, learning disabilities, kidney and liver disorders, skin disorders, painful joints, and decreased immune functioning.

Lead: Lead toxicity can cause poor bone growth and development, learning disabilities, fatigue, poor task performance, irritability, anxiety, high blood pressure, weight loss, increased susceptibility to infection, ringing in the ears, decreased cognitive functioning and concentration and spelling skills, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, constipation, muscle and joint pain, tremors, and overall general decreased immune functioning.

Mercury: Mercury toxicity can cause cognitive and memory problems, irritability, fatigue, insomnia, gastrointestinal disorders, decreased immune response, irrational behavior, numbness, tingling, muscular weakness, impaired vision and hearing, allergic conditions, asthma, and multiple sclerosis.

Nickel: Nickel toxicity may be associated with fatigue, respiratory illnesses, heart conditions, skin rashes, psoriasis, fatigue, and headaches.

Answer 3

I have had grey hair since I was sixteen, There is little you can do by way of medication. It happens as the pigment in the hair follicle changes. To medicate is to introduce chemicals into the body that are unnecessary promote a healthy self esteem in Doris Le instead she has a long life ahead of her and grey hair is easily covered over with streaks and hair colour.

Answer 4

There is no medication to treat premature pigmentation loss. It just happens. My cousin had it too, and was completely white haired by the time she was 18. And did she ever look sexy! She was a knockout. When she got a little older, in her 40s, she asked for (and got!) a senior's discount in restaurants etc. Everyone just looked at the white hair and figured she had to be a whole lot older than she looked.....
She tried dying it for a while, but it really looked awful - very harsh. The white was really becoming, especially with a bit of a tan in the summer.

Answer 5

Some people just go gray early (for me, 16). I would not go the drug route - she's young and growing, why put unnecessary meds in her body? If she gets really self-conscious, (after ruling out any illnesses with a doctor) she could always have it dyed. Either at home or a salon - and there some good, non-toxic dyes out there now.

Answer 6

My daughter's started turning gray at 9 but not to worry not all of it turns gray at once heres a site with more info for you

Answer 7

It's got to be genetic. My mom started getting gray hair when she was sixteen. Not lots of course, but some...now she's only 56 and she's got white hair. It's beautiful.

Answer 8

My hair was becoming grey when I was around 8 or 9 years old. (This was quite a long time ago). I was given iron pills - and the grey went away. But check this out with a doctor before you try it because times have changed.

Answer 9

There is a condition where you have some grey hair. A girl I know has a grey chunk of hair. If you have seen the show what not to wear of TLC, stacey london, the lady on the show, has a grey part in her hair she has had since she was a young girl.

Answer 10

I don't know if it works for gray, but Biotin is supposed to be great forhair. If you go to a health food store, you can buy supplements specifically for hair, or hair and nails.
Also, did you ask the doc about it????
