I didn't manage to stop getting stressed. But somehow, I always used to be very tensed and high strung all the time, and I was very worried about lot of things. With therapy, I got over some of the stress and worries. And that helped. If you are stressed, therapy would help immensely.
But still I have a tendency to get highly stressed and worried. I try to not ruminate (keep focussing on the same issue over and over again), but not always successful.
For me, I have couple of other autoimmune diseases - rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism. So I started doing a lot of research myself into all these and found that the hair loss was also actually related to these autoimmune disease. And my autoimmune disease (my rheumatoid arthritis) had a high corrleation with milk. Whenever I take any milk products, my joints tend to flare up. And for safety and for personal and religious reasons, I became a vegetarian about 2 years back. From then on my hair loss has stopped.
I don't know exactly which caused it and which stopped it.. but I have tried a lot of things for the hair loss, and while Rogaine and Nizoral shampoo helped, ultimately the full stop came from stopping any milk intake.. and also switching to a vegan diet.
You can try a vegan diet for 3 months to see if that helps you. (No milk products especially.. I am not sure about chicken and fish, they might be ok). But you can try being a vegan if everything else fails to stop the hair loss.
I think enemas can be given provided you substitue with lot of electrolytes intake. There are also some places in the US where they do something like colonic cleaning or called colonics. You can try that as well.
Most of the alternative remedies for hair loss stems from a basic body cleansing.. so it will involve some sort of enemas and stuff.
