How I Lost 50% Of My Hair

The following is a mail from one of our readers, who wishes to remain anonymous. But has given us the permission to publish his picture.
Five years back, I moved out of my parents house to my own. I had bought a new flat and was eager to setup my own house after staying with my parents for over 28 years. It was exciting. I had to buy everything from a needle to a refrigirator. I still remember the first day I stepped into the house with just 6 pairs of clothes. That night I had to sleep on the floor and the mosquitoes! The first things I bought was a matress and a mosquito repellent.
Anyways within 3 days of I started noticing hair all over the house. There would be at least 2-3 strands of hair on each tile of the floor. In the bathroom, every other day handful of hair would get collected. I never had a hair loss problem. Initially I ignored it as a normal thing and I may not have noticied it in my parent's place because my mom would be cleaning it everyday.
This continued for 3-4 months until people started noticing changes. I began to understand this hair loss was not normal. At this rate I would go bald within a year.
I knew something was wrong at my new house. Nothing else had changed. I started analyzing what changes I had made. I had started drinking half a liter of milk everyday. Was that the cause? Stopped milk, nothing changed. Then I thought it was the water. Asked other people in the flat if they had the same problem. The answer was NO. What else? I was getting anxious.
Then I just realized - THE MICROWAVE OVEN. That was one of the first things I bought - the bachelor's best friend! I used to cook everything in the microwave - the milk, the ready to eat MTR foods, even water.
I researched a bit and found out that yes the microwave could be the cause of hair fall. I stopped using it immediately and guess what. The very next day the hair fall stopped. I remember the amount of hair my drawer, where I kept my comb, would have. Now for the past 4 years I have not cleaned that drawer. There are just a few strands of hair.
In fact when I observe my mane, l notice that I have lost more hair on my right side of the head. Guess this is because I used to stand and look at the microwave on my right. I'm not too sure of this though.
After reading yesterday's article on this website, I thought of sharing this with more people. This news will never appear in the main stream media. Guess they will lose out on advertising revenue from microwave manufacturing companies. Rather we hear that microwave ovens are "healthy" since no oil is required.
I have shared this story with all my friends. some believe and some don't. A few years back, a friend's microwave oven stopped working. I told them the dangers and that I had one that I don't use. They still chose convenience over health. The choice is yours.
I strongly stand by my story. I will NEVER use the microwave oven again in my life. I'm so particular that even when I go to friend's place, I strictly avoid microwaved food. I prefer eating chilled food, if required.
There is absolutely nothing I regret about my past life. But if I could change one thing - its those 6 months. I'm not sure how much of my internal organs have suffered the damage!
My STRONG advise, choose health over convenience. Please share this with all your friends! Thank you.
