Reply To: THE ROOT OF GRAY HAIR

[Cari aka “Rinse & rePeat”]

This was something that I read second hand that Ray Peat did….

“…I started getting individual white eyebrows when I was in my 40s and I was thinking about the melanin in the brain of being deficient in Parkinson’s disease and thinking about what happens in that process. I realized that an excess of iron compete against copper and copper is the enzyme that makes the the dark pigment. And too much iron will simply get in the way and knock the copper out of out of your pigment enzymes. And I didn’t want to try it just eating copper. I made a solution
put a penny a real copper penny in a little bottle of water with an aspirin tablet and about half a spoonful of
vinegar. So it had two acidic things to help the solvent. So it was copper aspirinate and copper acetate that I
was using in the solution and I found I put a drop of that on the white here and watched it closely they grow very
very fast. The very next day and very visibly on the second day, I could see black pigment appearing at the root that just essentially an instantaneous restoration of pigment formation.”
