How much is too much B-12? Does taking B-12 pills help one have more energy?
Hair Loss
August 16, 2011 at 3:14pm
I am losing hair. Do I need to start using Rograine or is it a temporary result of:
- A new diet started in last month eating 2/3 fruits and vegetables for every 1/3 protein and grain
- Dental work in last month - crown followed by root canal - many x-rays
- Menopause - I stopped over 10 years ago.
What should I do?
