Horsetail/BioSil (silica) warning (All Natural, Supplements & Diet)

posted by HanginInThere, 01.05.2008, 01:54

» Hey guys. I tried horsetail a few months ago after reading that it may be
» effective for stopping hair loss. It's in some of the multi-vits for hair.
» I also read that Biosil may be better, so I switched to that after about a
» month on horsetail. Soon after, I started developing red itchy spots in
» different areas of my body: arms, side of head, and around ankles.
» Somewhat like eczema, although I've never had eczema. I immediately
» stopped the silica supplementation. It has been 2 months since stopping
» and the rash has finally disappeared. I don't know what else could have
» caused this.
»
» I also did some research and found a side effect of horsetail is
» dermatitis. This happens because horsetail lowers vitamin B (Thiamine)
» levels. Perhaps if taken along with a B-Complex vit it would be ok, but
» I'm not taking that risk. Just a heads up to be careful.

i once had terrible itching , and was taking niacin. Didnt know why so i increased my vitamins, and niacin. this worsened it dramatically, niacin is a vasodilator and flushed my skin red i thought i was going to throw up and was very nauseous,

you are not taking maxi hair or any hair vitamin?
