2. Description of the Related Art
Hair loss or alopecia may be caused by a variety of factors including
heredity, hormonal deficiencies or imbalances, diet, stress, chemotherapy
or aging. The desire to maintain or regain head hair has led to
continuing efforts throughout history to discover compositions and
methods for stimulating hair growth and for preventing or minimizing
hair loss.
Colloidal silver is a suspension of electrically charged microscopic
metallic silver. It is known in the prior art as an antimicrobial
agent effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens including
bacteria, fungi and viruses. It has been used as an antibiotic,
water purifier and food preservative. In addition to its use as
an anti-microbial agent, claims of the curative properties of colloidal
silver include stimulation of healing of injured tissue and bone,
tissue regeneration and elimination of old or cancerous cells. Colloidal
silver has been administered internally and topically, for example,
by injection, as ear and eye drops, or as a topical spray or as
an inhalent.
Typically, colloidal silver is produced by inserting pure silver
electrodes into distilled or de-ionized water to which sea salt
or trace minerals have been added.
There have been many attempts in the prior art to provide effective
compositions and methods for promoting hair growth, slowing hair
loss, and/or for minimizing or preventing hair loss. However, none
of these attempts have utilized colloidal metal or specifically
colloidal silver.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compositions for stimulating hair growth, preventing hair loss,
reducing hair loss, or minimizing hair loss of the present invention
include topical applications and/or an oral dosages which include
a colloidal metal. Preferably, the colloidal metal may be silver,
platinum, gold, copper, zinc or tin. More preferably, the colloidal
metal is silver.
Colloidal silver is produced as is known in the art by passing
DC current through pure silver electrodes placed into distilled
or de-ionized water. For optimum effectiveness, it is important
that the water used contain normal amounts of trace minerals. If
required, minerals may be added to the distilled or de-ionized water.
In addition, saline may be added to enhance conductivity as is known
in the art. As one suitable example of the known method and apparatus
for the making of colloidal silver, please refer to Colloidal Silver
Making and Using Your Own, Mark Metcalf, 1998, incorporated herein
by reference.
In a first embodiment, the present invention includes a colloidal
metal solution to be applied directly to the hair or scalp. Preferably
the solution includes colloidal silver in distilled or de-ionized
water, at an effective concentration to produce new hair growth,
reduce hair loss, and/or to prevent or minimize hair loss. More
preferably, sea salt, epson salt and/or trace minerals are added
to the distilled or de-ionized water prior to the production of
the colloidal silver.
Preferably, the concentration of colloidal metal in the water is
between about 1 parts per million (.mu.g/ml) to about 1000 .mu.g/ml.
More preferably, the concentration of colloidal metal is between
about 1 .mu.g/ml to about 750 .mu.g/ml, even more preferably, between
about 50 .mu.g/ml to about 500 .mu.g/ml and most preferably, between
about 250 .mu.g/ml and about 350 .mu.g/ml.
In the method of making, the topical ingredients are mixed together
by methods and apparatus as is known in the art. To use, the water
containing the colloidal silver is applied directly to the area
to be treated. The area to be treated may be wetted with the colloidal
silver solution, or the colloidal silver solution may be applied
to the area with a cloth or cotton. Preferably, the area to be treated
is wetted with the colloidal silver solution to prevent damage to
new hair growth by rubbing. After application of the colloidal silver
solution, the treated area is then allowed to air dry.
In a second embodiment, the topical application includes a colloidal
metal solution and aloe vera. The colloidal metal solution is a
colloidal metal, preferably colloidal silver, in distilled or in
de-ionized water. Preferably the solution includes colloidal silver
at an effective concentration to produce new hair growth, reduce
hair loss, and/or to prevent or minimize hair loss. More preferably,
the colloidal silver is at a concentration between about 1 parts
per million (.mu.g/ml) to about 1000 .mu.g/ml. Even more preferably,
the concentration of colloidal silver is between about 20 .mu.g/ml
to about 750 .mu.g/ml, still more preferably, between about 50 .mu.g/ml
to about 500 .mu.g/ml and most preferably between about 100 .mu.g/ml
to about 200 .mu.g/ml. As described above, the colloidal metal solution
may be prepared with the addition of sea salt or trace minerals.
The aloe vera may be any aloe vera currently available, but is
preferably an aloe vera gel that is at least about 99% pure. More
preferably, the aloe vera is an aloe vera gel containing plant and
herbs as currently available from Southwest Sunshine Products located

Southwest Sunshine products, namely allantoin, arnica flowers, comfrey
leaves, horsetail herbal extract, jojoba, collogen, elastin, saponins,
chamomile flowers, elkweed, jaborandi leaves, napca and rosemary
leaves, enhance the effectiveness of the topical applications of
colloidal metal of the present invention. Accordingly, it is believed
that one or more of these plant and herbal components may be added
as necessary or desired.
Any suitable relative amounts of the colloidal metal solution and
aloe vera may be utilized in the present invention provided that
the desired stimulation of hair growth, prevention of hair loss
or minimization or reduction of hair loss are achieved. Preferably,
the topical application includes between about 5% to about 50% by
volume colloidal metal solution and between about 50% to about 95%
aloe vera by volume, based on the total volume of metal solution
and aloe vera, and more preferably between about 15% to about 25%
by volume colloidal metal and between about 75% to about 85% aloe
vera by volume.
As a alternative to mixing the colloidal silver solution with the
aloe vera, the silver electrodes may be inserted directly into the
aloe vera gel so that colloidal silver is produced directly in the
gel until an effective concentration of colloidal silver, as described
above, is obtained.
To use, the colloidal metal aloe vera mixture is applied directly
to the area to be treated using application methods as are known
in the art.
A third embodiment of the topical application of the present invention

balancing the body's pH to the alkaline side. The inventor also
believes that the topical solution of colloidal silver cleanses
and removes pollutants that attach themselves to the scalp providing
a layered cleansing effect. In addition, the inventor believes that
the aloe and herb topical mixture, when charged with silver, promotes
an even more powerful cleansing while also providing a healing,
softening and protective agent to assist in the regrowth of cells
and hair. For a reference on the healing ability of herbs, please
see The Healing Herbs ultimate Guide, Michael Castleman, 1991 Bantum
Books, incorporated herein by reference. The inventor further believes
that his use of the colloidal silver, aloe vera, herbs and supplements
in conjunction has resulted in his hair regrowth on the top back
and in the temple area of his scalp.
