Reddit mentions of MacroLife Naturals Macro Greens Superfood – Organic - Vegan - Non-GMO - 38 Nutrient-Rich Ingredients - 10z - 30 Servings

For starters, you need nutrients. I would recommend a greens powder on an empty stomach in the morning. Getting your nutrients will help you think more clearly about this, and you need to think clearly.

Second, you've got to be open with your parents about this. I know it's shameful, I've been there, but they love you. They can only help you if you're honest with them about this.

I would strongly recommend a Vipassana meditation retreat. They have them all over the place, and they are completely donation-based. They provide food and board, and you aren't allowed to have any food in your room, just during meal times in dining area.

I did it and it helped a lot. You just sit and pay attention to your feelings without judgment, and recognize that they're impermanent. It's a real trip but it also really helps you step back and look at yourself. You also get ultimate privacy because the whole retreat is done in "Noble silence", which means that not only do people not talk to you but they also avoid making eye contact. There are really inspirational recorded lectures played every evening by a pretty amazing guru, S. N. Goenka. He's great, a real-life laughing Buddha. Real recordings of his voice are also used for instructions. He's good and it's a wholesome program. I didn't meet a bad person there. It can also count as therapy.

Take it seriously, and it can be a rewarding reset of yourself. You're calmly and silently experiencing the present for days, with interludes to eat food... the thing is, if you do it right, meditation is profoundly calming. Just be humble. Don't have pretense of it being beneath you. It's an amazing thing to do, you just have to stop getting upset when you lose focus. The noble silence really helps, too, to quiet your mind.

They make you agree not to leave, but people always do. It is not a cult and they won't keep you there.

Thanks hun. As far as rogaine goes, I'm not really sure if I noticed more shedding because I'm constantly shedding a large amount of hair everyday anyway (probably anywhere between 150-350 strands a day). I started rogaine and I figured that if I didn't it would just get worse anyways, so I might as well start now sort of thing.

I did notice however that using a sulfate free shampoo helps a LOT. I've used the Nioxin line, and I'm thinking of going back to it, but currently I use the Loreal EverSleek line and I've added some essential oils to the shampoo that I bought from NOW off amazon (Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Tee Tree, Rosemary, Jojoba, and Castor Oil). I usually ad a couple drops of each. It does make a difference using these for me at least and I've been using them about a month and my shedding has gone down.

Every week I do a caster oil mask on my scalp for three hours then rinse it out, and I'm hoping to see results from this soon too. I've also stopped washing my hair every day and wearing it in tight hairstyles. When I have to wear it up I usually try to tie it loosely with the really thin hair ties because they're less tight and damaging. I don't use heat on my hair or scalp anymore at all either.

Biotin itself may not help at all honestly, but I've been taking the one a day hair skin and nails vitamins, a b complex and iron every day (I am anemic too sadly). Oh, which is also why anything minty pretty much on your hair will only do good. It gets the blood flowing up there to the roots. I don't know if you're anemic or not, but I has helped slightly for me. Exercising lightly a couple times a week is important too, as well as eating fruits and veggies (which I can't stand sometimes). I've been making a lot of smoothies lately and adding THIS stuff in and you seriously can't even taste it, it's awesome.

Hopefully this has been helpful. I hope you have good luck in all of this. Keep you're chin up, in the end I always think how amazing it is to be alive and be able to watch the sun set every day. We truly are lucky, even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes.

Well, that seems kinda pricey for what you are getting. I take MacroLife's MacroGreens Superfood. Has a good breakdown of ingredients. I particularly like the probiotics and enzymes that comes in it.

It's $1 a serving and fulfills the same check marks as green vibrance for the most part.
