Gary Null - Hair Study
February 9, 2010 By Gary Null Ph.D.
In June of 1995 a study of the effects of nutrition, exercise, stress management and environmental adjustments upon the growth of human hair was announced to the general public: this study was entitled "The Hair Study." By March of 1996, 703 people had been selected to participate in the study.They were of different nationalities and backgrounds with ages ranging from 21 to 87 (the average age being 46.6 years). Some had been smokers, drinkers, meat eaters, overweight and obese, in short, a good cross section of our population. The first major study period was nine months, with adjustments every three months. Participants kept diaries and took notes of any changes in health, e.g. energy levels, sleep patterns, gastrointestinal changes, allergy responses, patterns of colds, flu, infections and sick days. Photos of the hair and scalp were taken and detailed objective and subjective analyses were recorded at the study sessions.
The criteria for participation in the study were as follows:
The participant had to have been balding for at least three years or thinning for at least five years and/or graying for at least five years. A protocol was suggested within the study, designed to initially detoxify and subsequently enhance overall health in order to efficiently metabolize nutrients for the hair follicles of a whole, healthfully functioning human system.
The following is a breakdown of the four points within the protocol:
Exercise
This was to consist of: 5 minutes of warming up, 45 minutes of exercise and 5 minutes of cooling down. Participants were to do any aerobic activity to 75% of optimal aerobic capacity 5 days per week. They were to also do cross training exercises,three days per week for 45 minutes.
Stress Management.
Participants were to do one hour per day of meditation and/or prayer and/or guided visualizations. These were to be broken into two half hour segments.
Environmental Adjustments.
Participants were to clean up their personal environment, including drinking only filtered water, removing fluorides, industrial solvents, parasites and pesticides. They were permitted to drink bottled spring water as well. The participants were asked to put air purifiers in their rooms and offices and to minimize electro-magnetic radiation.
Diet
This included elimination of the following, caffeine, dairy, wheat, yeast,red meat, pork, chicken, artificial sweeteners and artificial preservatives. 55% of the diet was to consist of complex carbohydrates and 30% from vegetable or fish protein. Fat was not to exceed 15% of total daily caloric intake, of which 75% was to come from omega 3and omega 6 fatty acids. Each participant was to have 50 grams of fiber per day.
Conclusion:
To this date the study concludes that 96% of the participants have a higher level of consistent energy within their waking hours and less sleep required per night. This information is taken from diaries which were kept on a daily basis by the participants. Out of 703 "Hair Study" participants 549 have become controls. These respondents did not adhere to the protocol and reported no changes in hair growth, darkened hair color or being stabilized.
The remaining 154 in treated group completing the 9 month study had the following results: 63% had falling hair stabilization, 9% had darkened hair color or less graying and 26% exhibited hair growth while 2% were non responsive.

Solomon - New York, NY
The greatest change that I’ve noticed is increased energy and I can now say that this is true now that the heat wave has arrived. I sleep less and yet am not tired. My bowel movements are more regular and easier. I am told by those who can tell that there has been moderate hair growth. I can tell by the "drain test" that hair loss has definitely decreased.
