Ive just written this to Derek So thought I'd write it in here too,
I'm going to throw a hypothesis at you I've been working on see if anyone has any thoughts, there has been lots of talk about the gut having an effect so this is my theory; Trapped gas deep in the gut region caused by poor digestion (low stomach acid, sibo etc) causes vacuums which create a negative pressure inside the body (especially around the sternum) which draws oxygen away from the extremities inwards towards the abdomen, and shrinks arteries/veins/capillaries at these points I.e scalp. Also certain valves/flaps rely on positive pressure (I also think this could be the cause of lots of auto immune conditions), now my thoughts behind this are quite simply it's what I have experienced And felt myself and I'm an Engineer and work on different systems all the time.
Now here's what I think the cause of this is, Hiatal hernias are alot more common than we think and this causes the sphincter above your stomach to be unable to close properly and once you develop one it is very hard to get rid of it which also causes shallow breathing which goes hand in hand with the negative pressure seen before.
Now the cause of these hernia I'm unsure on but id believe to be stress shoulders and back tensing up and/or not diamphramatic breathing (which may be strong enough to cause the negative pressure by itself, seriously this is underestimated) which lifts the stomach into an incorrect position inside your body or perhaps option 3 an infection/candida which I believe causes the area to become permanently tensed as your system panics, (now this is highly speculative but f*** it while we're sharing, but look how fungus/candida attacks plants it sends the plants immune system haywire by keeping it switched on constantly I.e tensed) which could bring the stomach to an unnatural position.
I genuinely believe this theory could be the underlying mechanism to male pattern baldness this positive/negative pressure which our body system relies on drawing oxygen away from the scalp (Think of it like a pump you create a vacuum at one point and it draws in everything in the system towards that point) it couples together with the blood pressure link this narrowing of the arteries/veins/capillaries and also how dht is created in higher amounts in low oxygen which also ticks the hormonal/ why girls dont suffer as much and finasteride works for a while (until this pressure grows and grows), I can also solve why diet plays a part although not totally, and even a possible explanation as to why homeless people have better hair as Ive seen that thrown around in here (they eat a lot less often = they are actually hungry when they eat = higher stomach acid = better digestion and less gas released) Also why probiotics etc have been credited previously as probiotics actually take gas out of your system the bacteria uses it.
And another for autoimmune issues/responses, this pressure and/or the gases released from the digestion goes back up passed the sphincter to where it is breathed into the lungs and distributed around the body causing damage.
I'll be very interested to see if I'm right I reckon I'm definitely in the ball park here so theres my theory poorly explained but I hope you get the jist. ✌
