We like to publish our success stories, not only to prove the efficacy of our approach, but also to offer hope to trich sufferers. 

The following comes from C.P.  We helped C.P. overcome her inability to stop pulling hair out, as we do with all our trichotillomania cases, by restoring balance to her neurotransmitter levels, thus reducing the urge to pull.

Unable to stop pulling hair out since she was in 1st grade

C.P. writes:

I’ve been on a program with the Natural Path Health Center for almost a year. After following Dr. Oler’s recommendations, I have almost no urges to pull and my hair has almost all grown back; the only urges I have are when stress gets really high, but I can deal with those.

I was diagnosed with trich in 1st grade (I am 17 now) and I had extreme urges to pull every 1-3 days. At any given time, I had pulled out about 50% of my hair, and my eyebrows and eyelashes were gone. It was really hard because at times it felt like trich dictated my daily routine.

Now I feel more confidence on a daily basis. I am also less self-conscious. I am more confident when speaking to others and am playing sports again that I love and participating in other physical and social activities.

A winning approach to trichotillomania

When you peruse the internet, it’s amazing how many people are suffering from trich.  There are so many people that feel like they have no hope, and nowhere to turn.  That’s a natural reaction. When most conventional approaches don’t work, you lose hope.

It’s very rewarding to get a message like this from C.P.  It reinforces our resolve, and makes us determined to find any way possible to spread the message about our success.  Please help us in any way.  And if you currently suffer from trichotillomania, here is more information about how our approach helps you stop pulling hair out.
