 Hair graying, also known as achromotrichia, is the most obvious sign of aging in humans. Change in hair color occurs when melanin ceases to be produced in the hair root and new hairs grow in without pigment. The stem cells at the base of hair follicles produce melanocytes, the cells that produce and store pigment in hair and skin. The death of the melanocyte stem cells causes the onset of graying.(({{pubmed>long:15618488}})) Hair graying, also known as achromotrichia, is the most obvious sign of aging in humans.

 +Hair loss and hair color loss is very common in Th1 disease (it is made even worse by medications such as prednisone).

 For most researchers at least, the mechanisms which ultimately drive the process are largely unknown,(({{pubmed>long:15618488}})) However, there is reason to believe that the decline in melanin production by melanocyte stem cells may be due to an inflammatory process driven by the Th1 pathogens. For most researchers at least, the mechanisms which ultimately drive the process are largely unknown,(({{pubmed>long:15618488}})) However, there is reason to believe that the decline in melanin production by melanocyte stem cells may be due to an inflammatory process driven by the Th1 pathogens.

 <blockquote>For the past 25 years my mark of distinction has been my silver hair and beard. I liked to think that, as for the mature "silver-back" gorillas, it put me at the top of the status tree. Now I face being an 80 year-old with the "mousey" hair of my youth. I started Benicar on 2/2/07. A few weeks later, I felt my hair didn't look shiny clean after a wash. Then my son-in-law said, "Your whiskers are going black". Sure enough, close inspection showed the unfashionable dark roots. Eleven weeks into the MP, I showed my doctor a 3cm hair with a 1cm white tip and a 2cm dark base. I was able to reassure him that all was explicable under the rationale of the MP. <blockquote>For the past 25 years my mark of distinction has been my silver hair and beard.
