Hair loss and itching skin can also be caused by Heamachromatosis (iron overload) before you start taking supplements advertised by American Drs or anybody else, do go to see your GP...ask for a FERRITIN blood test...it costs the NHS 46p....if you have the condition it is easily controlled....the blog appears to be an advertisement but I'm sure has some helpful tips...just don't sign up or pay up.
