The kind of toxicological testing required by OSHA and the FDA for a product intended for consumer use does not exist for products that are intended for animal use. In effect, you wouldn't know if it could cause immediate or long-term damage to a human. Additionally, the physiological make-up of a horse is not the same as a human...their very skin is substantially thicker (which is why it is called a hide).

yeah yeah but when you start talking about eating through brains and damaging nervous systems, I dont care if you got skin, hide or whatever it aint gonna matter. If it's that potent and dangerous it can't be too safe for animals either. There are not many topical treatments for animals that could kill/damage/mame a human and leave an animal unscathed.

I wonder if everyone so terrified about mtg is as terrified when putting on that relaxer, thats proven to cause damage, seep under your scalp and remain for years.

people are more prone to hurting themselves but not their animals and i've never heard of a relaxer being applied to a horse, cat, dog or any other animal with fur...why not?? cuz its deemed more harmful...

so i'm gonna side also with the argument that if it is safe for humans if it is for horses

Even though i'm relaxed very good point.
 
I picked homemade concotion because I purchased some hair grease from a woman who received the receipe from the Holy Spirit (very interesting story) I truly believe it is growing my hair overnight! She has about 3 - 4 products and one that is specifically for diabetics.

Stop teasing girl, give up the info!:poke: If Jesus is in on a hair product recipe you better believe I'm on it. :lol:

How much growth?

What's in it?

How much does it cost?

And from where? :look: :look: :look: :look:

I agree with this.
 
I can't really tell you how much growth but I do know that I was wearing an instant weave and my hairline feel out. I started putting her grease on my edges and it grew back within a week! I am not kidding. It doesn't smell good.

It has a lot of herbs and essential oils. My label has smeared but I know it has rosemary, sage, shea butter, nettle mrytle some other stuff.

She charges $7.00 for about 4 oz. if you want her telephone number PM.

I believe it is far better than surge plus it is all natural.

The relaxer thing is a myth like the Colgate toothpaste. Believe if sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide was able to leak through the skin and remain under your scalp for years we'd all be brain damaged and dead. Sodium Hydroxide is a very very strong base. (BTW many soaps, body cleaners, etc. contain sodium hydroxide). The portions of NaOH and CaOH used in relaxers is most likely moderated for usage by the FDA on humans.

To give an example, Vitamin A is a great overall vitamin and required as part of a healthy diet, however exceeding 15,000 IU is toxic in humans. So chances are, you won't find too many supplements containing more than 15000 IU for humans because of it's toxicity.

Now a horse maybe able to withstand 140,000 IU before there's an issue of toxicity because of many contributing reasons. Now if we took the same supplement, we'd be dead!

I personally don't believe Glovers "Mane" was created for humans... but people trusted it anyway.

Besides --there are so many human products out there that contain chemicals that cause "brain damage" in animals but people continue to use them.
::shrugs shoulders:: :(

Anyway--since I haven't developed hooves yet... I'll continue use MTG & MnT:look:

:clapping: Tell it like it T.I. iz girl! I mean I can't fathom risking my health or hair! That's doing way too much! JMO
 
Didn't someone call the manufacturers of MTG to find out if it's safe for human use? MTG is applied topically not ingested; so there is quite a difference between this and the Vitamin A analogy.
 
FYI: Glover's was not originally intended for humans, because it was marketed as Glover's MANGE for animals with mange in the 1920's or 1940's. Of course, the formulas out today for dandruff and what not are pretty safe, because they are made especially for humans. :)
 
Again, I preface my post with: I do not argue for or against the use of it, it's an individual decision that should be based upon as much information as possible. I personally have chosen to make my decision based upon research and not simply "someone said it made their hair grow". For all I know, they could be saying that just to garner attention and in truth, they've never used the product.

I've noticed on SEVERAL products where the manufacturer states "NOT FOR HUMAN USE" on products that are meant topical applications for horses. This product does not state such. That doesn't mean it's safe, it doesn't mean it's not. It's just conspicuous (to me at least) in it's absence.

I've read numerous thread there all sort of food concoctions are being applied to the hair for various 'treatments', however, I read another hair care site (not a message board) where these don't really work for scientifically proven reasons.

Now, before you start typing to some scathing response, I'm not even saying that this is the same because we're talking about the potential toxicity of the MTG, my point is that there are a lot of things that we choose to use that maybe harmful (or even useless) and some are, but we do so within the limits of guidelines we're given by the manufacturer (sometimes).

A LOT of things that are approved by the FDA aren't always 'good' or have a good turnout, so in all things, I recommend staying as close to 'nature made' as possible. If you step outside of that, just know and understand that there are inherent risks.

True, though MTG is applied topically, what the chemicals (in chemistry we call everything a chemical even organic substances)? Are these topical agents harmful to humans and non-harmful to animals, horses specifically.

A horse has more dermal layers than human beings. Therefore, the penetration in a horse may only go but soo far in the dermal layers, where as in humans, because we do not have as many dermal layers the next layer could be BLOOD.

I would just hate to see anyone harm themselves for the shake of growing hair. Sure you may get 2" of growth in a month but 10 years from now, you may go to the doctor and wonder why you've developed brain tumors or something worse. I know this sounds crazy, but it is a reality and possibility. I'm not trying to scare someone, but there's a reason why this product perhaps was no longer used for humans. Think about it. If the product was effective in both humans and animals why was it discontinued only for humans?

Because the product is called mane does not specifically mean that it is targeted for animals only. In science a lot of terms are used interchangeably. Science can be very tricky with its wording. I've had textbooks refer to "fur" as hair, which fur is hair lol but when we think of fur we immediately think of animals and when you think of hair you immediately refer to humans.

But back to the Glover's Mane, yes it could have been targeted for animals, however, it has been FDA approved for usage with HUMANS. I cannot say the same for MTG.

Just please exercise caution. Do not let growing hair blind side you from your health. Hair will grow regardless with proper nutrition and care.

I looked at the link of the bottle of the Glovers Mange and the only thing I could make out WAS the words: for human scalp. So I guess it was made for humans. I don't use the MTG and when I heard all the raves I went online and purchased a bottle that's sitting under my bathroom sink. I'm not going to use it because I have the worst luck and think something WILL happen to me. So if anyone wants it make an offer, otherwise I'll throw it out. I don't think it's worth risking my health. I wish I never ordered it and I did try to cancel but was told that it was shipped already. I am actually embarassed to be saying that I purchased it with the intention of using it on my hair- being a horse product.

Glovers Mange was made for humans and animals... But umm--how much you want for your MTG?:lol:

I respect your opinion but I "personally" have not found any evidence of this being true...:look:
