Perhaps CS would NOT affect mites, but then perhaps it would.
Mites very likely rely upon bacteria and/or fungus for the
function of their digestive systems. Use of =sufficient= CS to
destroy this bacteria and/or fungus could thereby destroy the
mite's ability to live and feed in human pores and follicles --
or pillows, mattresses, etc.
As for hair loss, a CS hair rinse could eliminate any follicular
fungus that might be =directly= responsible for hair loss.
In any case, NCOAMA's report of success -- with apparent NEW hair
growth AND improved hair quality -- is worth noting, and further
use seem warranted, regardless of 'theoretical considerations'.
Does anyone know a practical, proven way to stop mites from living
in pillows, pillow cases, mattresses, etc. (without removing and
boiling them) ?
As for scalp follicles, castor oil probably works, and it is
reportedly used in Russia for growing hair.
Since castor oil acts as a 'transdermal carrier' for any agents
(such as herbal extracts) that are mixed into it, why not mix
strong CS into a castor oil, lecithin, and vodka emulsion,
add some herb and spice extract -- nettles, and perhaps ginger,
black pepper, garlic, or cayenne. Use this as a scalp
conditioner, and any mites or fungus should soon be history.
(Not too much vodka! It's flammable.) It would probably remove
the 'sebum' in the follicles, also.
(A nettles herb plus chopped onion 'vodka extract' grows hair,
according to some reports. Research shows nettles can increase
'available free testosterone' and thus counteract dihydro-
testosterone (DHT), which is the main cause of male-pattern
baldness, prostatitis, and sometimes even low sex-drive in both
males and females. Avena Sativa, or wild oats, and Saw Palmetto
also work to counteract DHT, and raise testosterone.)
Note: The active ingredient in castor oil is ricinoleic acid.
Ricinoleic acid has been shown to be effective in preventing
the growth of numerous species of viruses, bacteria, yeasts
and molds. (J Am Oil Chem Soc 61;37.323-325.)
Used externally, hot 'castor oil packs' stimulate lymph
circulation and T-cell immune function, and treat fungal
infections; internally, castor oil is a strong purgative.
There are dozens of other uses in healing; in India the
castor bean plant is called 'Erand'. Only cold-pressed
castor oil should be used (Heritage brand is one source).
