There are some medications that can cause hair loss as a side effect. This side effect has physical and emotional effects on the body. While the damage may be predominantly physical, its effects can go beyond that. People place so much value on physical appearance, especially the hair. It is a reflection of beauty and other aesthetic purposes. Anything that causes hair loss is indeed a concern to many. Hence, people are always keen on discovering why certain medications cause hair loss or alopecia.
Use of Tamoxifen
A popular anti-cancer drug called Tamoxifen is known for causing hair loss as a side effect. Tamoxifen is a drug used in treating breast cancer. It is an important chemotherapy or anti-cancer medication that kills the cancer cells.
It is important to note that most breast cancer cases happen on women. Ladies are especially concerned about looks and the appearance of their hair. This means that more women have to suffer with Tamoxifens hair loss effect.
Why is there hair loss with Tamoxifen?
Anti-cancer drugs work by detecting cancer cells and killing them. The mechanism by which the drug detects these cancer cells in the body is by looking for the rapidly multiplying cells. Rapid proliferation and division of cells is a distinguishing characteristic of cancer cells from normal cells. However, there are other normal cells in the body that have rapid multiplication and growth. This includes the hair follicles, the cells responsible for hair growth. Anti-cancer cells like Tamoxifen cannot distinguish this cell from the cancer cells so they also attack the hair cells. This is the mechanism why Tamoxifen cause hair loss.
How can you cope up with hair loss with Tamoxifen?

2. Shave head short Shorter locks will be easier to lose than longer and thicker ones. It is easier and less shocking to look at short strands of hair goes down the shower or come tangled in your combs.

The truth about REIKI GLUTATHIONE
I’m pretty sure you have heard of the Glutathione branded as “Reiki”.
It has 600mg and 900mg claiming to be manufactured in JAPAN.
What do you know about Reiki?
Have you ever questioned the product that you have been using, buying and selling??
I have. and I will share you those questions and I will share you the answers.
Let’s first tackle the writing about “Reiki Glutathione” that everyone have been reading.
“Tired of your glutathione IV that is not working? Try Reiki glutathione IV/IM. Find why it is the best in the market?
REIKI GLUTATHIONE originates in Japan, the makers of purest glutathione. Have you ever notice why Filipinas worked in Japan has younger, whiter and more beautiful skin when they get back? It is because they use glutathione.
Reiki glutathione is named after who discover glutathione Dr. Reiki. From the name itself Reiki which means sacred energy, Reiki glutathione occured.
Reiki Glutathione is 100% pure and natural reduced glutathione. Reduced glutathione is the only form of glutathione that has side effect of whitening. It is also 100% lyophilized. Reiki glutathione is stable even closer to expiration.Other brands reduced its effectiveness when closer to expiration. It undergo nano-processed technology to make it more absorbable to the cellular level. Thus it makes 5 to 8 times more effective.
It is also the only glutathione that is suitable for nebulization. For people who are smokers or with lung diseases (except asthma) nebulization is more effective route of administration to increase surfactant in the lungs, to prevent cancer and to detoxify lung toxins. For whitening and anti-aging, reiki is 5 to 8 times faster. Assay test results reveals 98%. (2% is loss due to testing procedures).”
1ST. Have you ever searched on google who the hell is Dr. Reiki?
as they’re claiming that HE IS THE DISCOVERER OF GLUTATHIONE??!
Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins – Among the many contributions Hopkins made is the discovery (1922) and characterization of glutathione that is described in this Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) Classic Paper. It had been recognized that glutathione underwent reversible oxidation-reduction, which involved a disulfide linkage between two molecules of GSH in GSSG.
Source: http://www.jbc.org/content/277/24/e13.full
It’s clearly stated that Hopkins Discovered Glutathione, and not some Doctor named Reiki.
2nd. Have you ever wonder what Reiki means? aside from thinking that it was the Discoverer?
“Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive”
Reiki is basically a healing process by hands that is popularized in Japan, and it is NOT because of the so-called-dicoverer-DR.REIKI.
3rd. Have you ever searched about this “REIKI INTERNATIONAL LTD” ??
I have. Why don’t you search it right now?
NOTHING. NOTHING will appear, DOES IT REALLY EXIST??
4th. Do you really believe that it was manufactured in Japan?
Prove it! I bet they can’t, and i can prove they it’s not.
*Why don’t they put the “Manufacturer and its location”?
Normally, as BFAD’s requirement, you should put/print in the box the Manufacturer and the location of the company,
something like from Saluta,
Manufactured by:
Shandong Luye Pharmaceutical Co. LTD – Shandong, China
Distributed by:
Luye Pharma group INC – Singapore
So, another question is, what If something happened to you, and you want to file a demand, where can you go? who are you going to look for? NO ONE, because they don’t have the identity, they don’t have office, no website. Now, shouldn’t we be worried??
5th. They are saying it’s “PYROGEN FREE”
It’s so funny how people are getting attracted to this because it’s Pyrogen Free. DO you know what Pyrogen is?
Pyrogen – A substance that produces fever.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pyrogen
Basically it is a substance that produces heat in our body, and when we inject Glutathione in our body, it never gives us heat and I have never heard of anyone who got a fever from Glutathione, I’m sorry to say but it is BULLSHIT! You can ask the Doctors, Doctors of all people, should know this! This is why Doctors don’t use Reiki, or I should say some Doctors are using this too, they are blinded.
6th. Just because I am very curious of the things that I use, I requested an information if Reiki is regIstered in FDA (Food Drug Administration) or at least if they have pending application, guess what, see for yourself 🙂
