Thanks for replying!I tried this last night. I think it is a mind over matter thing Exactomundo because I thought the drink was pretty good. It really is, huh?
I didn't put the wheat germ in my drink.The wheat germ gives it a nice texture and adds alot of nutrients. I got the toasted kind, near the cereal aisle, but it really should be raw. I took 1/2 tablespoon full of the wheat germ and followed it with the egg drink.
I used 1 med. raw organic egg and VERY Vanilla Soy Milk(sorry I didn't measure but there was more milk in the cup than egg, definitely less than 8oz). I use Vanilla Silk Soy, it's great! I don't drink whole milk, very rarely, but I mentioned that in my original post. I think soymilk is a great substitute. The thickness of the soy milk and the sweetness blended really well with the egg. I used a fork and "beat" the egg for about a minute then added the milk and mixed it together. If you had a blender, you'd be in heaven, the egg is so smooth, it is unidentifiable, I drank it with no problem. There was no weird smell or taste. I felt fine after. I am going to try it for 30 days to determine if it has a noticable effect on my hair. Please keep me posted, okay?
I had planned on having it for bfast this morning and walked right out the house. I didn't want drink it last night b/c I thought it would keep me up all nite. I will do it when I get home today.
yup i treat this like a vitamin. you can definately gulp it down with some milk. once you get past the idea of it, it really is not bad at all.Ok, I tried it this morning. I didn't have all the ingredients so I just took out a med raw egg out of the refrigerator, cracked it into a cup, looked at it, smelled it, closed my eyes and gulped it down. It went down smooth, definitely no after taste but I think I was a bit more in shock by the coldness than the actual raw egg, so next time I will try it with room temperature egg and maybe add some milk.
Girl, will you blend that sucka already? Mix it in with the milk, i'm tellin' ya, it's that simple! You'll love it..if you can drink a straight raw egg, you will fall in love with this drink...i mean i have, anyway...Ok, I tried it this morning.

Sorry but you are too funny about it might have kept you up at night! Could'nt help but to laugh, but I do understand your point!!!!I had planned on having it for bfast this morning and walked right out the house.

The true ileal digestibility of cooked and raw egg protein amounted to 90.9 ± 0.8 and 51.3 ± 9.8%, respectively.
Your body can only absorb about 50% of the available protein if you eat the eggs raw. If you cook them you will get over 90%.

I hope to get fabulous results!WOW, 61 Thanks already! No, prob, Hon, if I can help any one person, then, I'm happy.
Again thank you for sharing the information; and best of luck to you.
That's why I posted this info, I mean, why not share, for some this is not the way to go, but for others like you and myself, this could be an option.I want to personally say thank you so much for sharing this info about the book! I just ordered it myself from amazon and too paid only 4.00 for it. Some people don't realize it but there is also raw egg in egg nog! Which by the way I love. Some can't tolerate it while some can. But I will be trying this out myself! The only thing is some of us have like myself high blood pressure and high cholesterol so actually I will have to omit the raw egg but will sure to try the other ingredients except for the raw egg! Just wanted to share that tidbit and thank you for the wonderful info that you have decided to share with the rest of us trying to acheive the same things!

I'm really not hung-up on the protein-bit, all I know is that this recipe helped a person combat hair loss AND re-grow hair. I'm not sure WHAT the combination of ingredients do to fight this, I only care that it does.

Again, if your hair is coming out by the hand-fulls (like mine was) this may be something to try. If it isn't your issue, then I probably wouldn't even consider this remedy, but then again, I know I wouldn't discourage others, either.I can really tell I'm getting the protein eating them cooked, thats why I was confused about the 'denaturing' the protein from cooking
Good for you!I just made a smoothie, it's actually quite tasty!
one cup vanilla silk soymilk
1 organic egg
1/2 banana
tblsp wheat germ
1 scoop vanilla protein powder--Vitamin shoppe brand I was thinking of doing this, too...I also considered taking the drink twice a day...to really jumpstart the progress...I may do this in a few weeks...
If I don't have bowel issues in the morn......I'll try this 3-4 times a week and see what happens. I'm never giving up my boiled eggs and cheese omelets tho!
I thought that was a good challenge, I've been taking l-cysteine, 2000mg for about the last two years and I know the difference it makes - if I could only take one supplement, l-cysteine would get my vote hands-down, and ofcourse we know the benefits of egg Yum!btw I started an egg and l-cysteine challenge , that includes all the supps with it. you should try that, check it out when you can

ycj, the cholesterol is really in the yolk of the egg, not the white of the egg. The white is primarily protein.
that's exactly what i do, and it works wonders!Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask myself "Is there anything I wouldn't do for waist length hair?" I still can't give you a straight answer on that one . But seriously, the cocktail seems like a great idea. Raw eggs are rich in sulfur and biotin, some key hair growing elements. I would probably blend in some fruit or yogurt to make it more palatable, though.
I did it! I did it! I can’t believe I did it. This morning I put on my big gurls and mix a scoop of protein powder, 1 raw (veggie feed) egg, about a tbls molasses, 4 – 6 oz of rice milk and 6 cubes of ice in a blender.
I was good and not guggie like I thought it would be. The molasses gave it a malt taste and I enjoyed every drop of it.
Hey ChiChiStar, did it make you smarter? someone on here stated her cousins drink raw eggs and they are geniusesMy mom and her friend used to do this all the time. I remember trying it a couple of times when I was younger. They used to crack the egg into a glass cup, mix a little can carnation evaporated milk in it, give it two stirs with a spoon and gulp it all down in one swallow. I remember the taste as being yummy. Also I remember my God-Mom used to crack raw eggs and mix it into our cream of wheat cereal for breakfast, that was so yummy too. I was a kid then so I figured it was something adults did so I've never tried raw eggs as an adult. I might give it a try soon though.

girl after reading that i got so excited! I want waist lenght hair and become smarter! I can't wait going to earth fare today to get eggs---thanks again!!!!you are funny! They were excellent students and have all done very well for themselves and excelled in school, truth be told....I'm just saying...there is such a thing as brain food....
Believe God for your breakthrough and you will receive the harvest!I know that's right. I had the same sentiments three years ago when all of my hair came out due to overprocessing. I truly believe I'm reaping the results of my faith and God's graciousness.

Good for you!
I know there are many, many people out there who have faced the very real problem of hair loss, not hair breakage, but from alopecia - telogen effluvium, areata, totalis...of whatever variety there is. I posted this as an attempt to reach them where they are at, when even the dermatologists can't help them. I've been there, I know what it is like. The raw egg thing is a key component, I'm not a scientist and I don't claim to be. Leave it in, take it out, it's up to the individual. I was led to this information and felt obligated to share with those that may desperately need it. Even though I knew there would be naysayers...but then again, there always are.
Be Blessed, Ladies...and Grow Some Waistlength Hair!
