I have a few hairs that grow from white back to their original color; with hair that means that the hair morphology changes from having voids to original form; this is a hundreds or Ks of cytes organ type structure being recomposed; whatever the chemistry that turns white hairs back to their original color could be duplicated then used on other organs like heart tissue; I only see a few of these hairs per year I'm thinking other people also have them


hair is a differentiated organ that has programmed senescence with regeneration

I will put up photos when I find regenerated hairs plus am near a computer lab with optical facilities

This is from 2012, when I am 44. I have found many of these During 2008 when I made the start post I gathered a number of head hairs where you could see the white area return to original color. the interval or return to original color varies, sometimes it was like a couple centimeters, sometimes 3 to 7 mm at head hair. Noting that hair whitens at patterns (temples simulataneous) on the head hair whitening may be a kind of programmed sensecence. the reversal of whitening thus shows a cytokine chemical effect that actually reverses an aging program. Any researchers out there could consider asking hairdressers to look for these kind of hairs on their clients then see what kind of genetics go with the most reversal of programmed senesence. When they find the chemical or cytokine they could then apply it to dermatocytes as well as other tissues to see if those tissues regain youthfulness.

during 2008 I noticed it was like, if I pull about 20ish white headhairs i would find one that did senesence reversal.

Note that reverting to original color on hair actually regenerates a multicyte structure like the differentiated structure at the image. The structure says it is a stem cyte matrix. so apparently this may be a naturally occuring event where stem cytes reform an entire microorgan back to youthful function.

Regarding the idea of using hair follicles that regenerate to find youthification chemicals as well as biology, I wonder if white hairs transplanted to a clone from a frozen twin embryo would reverse senescence. That would be an old mouse giving a twin young mouse a hair, then seeing if the hair reverted to original color. It would show dermal or circulating youth longevity chemicals.

Also hair is growable at a vitro environment as well http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/19750535

As it turns out I thought I was 44, Im actually 45. I can only wonder what would have happened if I had had that perspective as a fetus. "Hmmm, I think I will be conceived about three months from now, what????"

upload some of yours if you feel like it, I plucked 20 or 30 hairs prior to finding one that was reverting to original color

what kind of treatment you use?

Could be just a difference in your diet or copper intake. Look up copper toxicity or deficiency causing hair loss and hair color loss. For example I work with a lot of electricians. Most, if not all, are losing hair and hair color no matter the age. Why? Because they work around copper more.

Unfortunately this is a common phenomenon and doesn't mean you are growing younger.
It happens because hair is produced in cycles from the follicle.
When the follicle rests, the old hair falls out. After a time, the follicle again begins to produce a new hair.
As hair follicles age, they become less able to make melanin to color the hair shaft.
They lose the ability gradually, first producing a white tip, then reverting to dark.
Next cycle, the follicle produces a bit more white before recovering the ability to make melanin.
Eventually, it loses the ability altogether and you have a white hair.

I heard or perhaps read that white hair comes from morphological variability, the actual hair shape structure is produced with more spaces which then retroreflect light.  so when hair goes from white to original color it is being constructed more on original genetic specification; the idea that an entire macroscopic multicyte system (the hair root) is able to go from less on genetic specification back to more on specification as a result of cytokines could have applicability at a variety of tissues to move tissue towards youthful form.

 

so basically find out what chemicals like protein cytokines are particularly abundant at hair changing from white to natural color, concentrate those or make synthetics, then see what they do with other tissues.

 

Researchers that would like to have a human material go from less on specification to more youthful form could find out if the cytokines produced when hair changes from white to original color work on other tissues.  Possibly older fingernails rinsed with the cytokines that cause hair regenration would go smooth or otherwise more youthful.  Highly similar structure, yet different morphological form.  If that works they could see if the cytokines beneficially improve entire organisms like c elegans, or if it is particulalry active at particular locations.

1. You don't seem to understand.

2. You seem to be obsessed with the word "cytokine".

 

The phenomenon of hair beginning to grow white, then reverting to dark is, as I wrote in an earlier post, a normal part of aging and due to the cyclical nature of hair growth.

The hair follicle gradually loses the ability to manuafcture enough melanin to colour the hair shaft.

This loss of ability is most prominent at the beginning of the hair growth cycle.

I have tracked a single hair through several cycles from completely brown, through white-to-brown transition to completely white. (This was easy because it was a moustache hair on the very edge of my moustache.)

Nothing to do with cytokines.

 

In extremely rare circumstances, white hair has been observed to revert to pigmented hair.

This is usually due to administration of powerful anti-cancer drugs, but has also been observed in some cases of huge doses of PABA.

I have seen this many times, in my own hair and that of my wife. I believe it relates to the pathogens in the body which are causing the h2o2 bleaching of the hair. The immune system beats them up for a while, and the hair is no longer bleached. Sometimes hair is white because of lack of melanin in the body, and that is a different issue.

I believe the knotweeds which reverse grey hair are actually just antibiotics. That's why people who use resveratol complain that it messes up their joints. It's busting old biofilm contained gunk and letting it out causing the immune system to be really busy cleaning it up. They should be happy they have the joint pain now, and not when they 75, and they have little energy left to fight the gunk. We have so many old infections everywhere in our bodies, sitting there, waiting for a moment to strike.

The pathogens who are intermittently active cause a lot of our stiffness and joint pain. When we get stressed our bodies make cortisol. Cortisol takes in energy from our collagen. This somehow lets out old gunk - because they know when the body is eating collagen, the immune system is not getting any power. They are crafty gunk - so they hide in tissues with lots of collagen, where they can be alerted when we are stressed out. That's why stressed out people get grey hair early. They got weak peripheral immune systems from all that cortisol (which was probably released because they were low on energy in the first place), and they release old gunk at bad times.

hen various cultures practice fasting, they force their bodies to secrete cortisol and start eating up collagen. This brings out the gunk who think they are sneaky - but the human is sneakier, even though he thinks he is fasting because of religion - he is fasting to lure out gunk, and then the immune system kills it, staving off death a little bit. Stress is not dangerous much. It's the gunk it brings out when we are not prepared to fight it.

f you want to reverse gray hair - you need to fight the gunk in your dermis. Figure out what antibiotics make you feel really crap, and use those when you have enough energy to fight what is coming. Or do some fasting to lure them out. Or anything else which makes your body produce cortisol. Massage might also work, but it has to be really rough to break the biofilms and cysts. Our bodies try to help us by growing hair - the heat dispersed by the hair can burn open the gunk. Sweating could also help. Tea tree oil is strong enough to kill even MRSA.

A lot of people do something which is really good for their bodies, but because they bring out gunk that give them fevers, rashes, and other crap, they think the good things are bad for them.

People who are "allergic" to specific antibiotics really aren't - they just have lots of dormant pathogens that get activated when the antibiotic try to murder them, causing the body to get really sick fighting the dormant pathogens. Silly humans then think the antibiotic was the bad thing.

This is all just theory, of course, but I am pretty sure I am correct.
