It included cases of vitiligo, hepatosplenopathy, and struma from ptBP exposure, dermatitis herpetiformis triggered by iodide sensitivity, severe acne in teenagers from iodide-containing kelp supplements, and telogen effluvium in a woman following significant weight loss and chorionic gonadotropin injections, suggesting sudden weight loss as a trigger for hair loss.

      Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.

      TE (telogen effluvium) is often misunderstood and is triggered by severe stress or trauma, not minor daily inconveniences. Most hair loss cases are due to male pattern baldness (AGA), and treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride can help.
