The story she is probably talking about is the one on BHM yesterday where the girl said her blood pressure went all up and stuff. Close to the bottom of the page:  http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14196&am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;am p;KW=Dolleyez&TPN=13

It is pretty scary, if it is not just an isolated incident, but I think she must be allergic. Don't really know.

So, NychaelaSymone, are you still going to use MTG for a month like you originally planned, in light of the scary stories?

Hey phoenix. Glad to see you here.  Yeah I'm a little scared of MTG but I am still interested in it especially for my thin spot.  I'm scared of just about everything that I put on my hair that is out of the ordinary, lol.....but after a I do some research I usually feel better about it.  I've heard mostly good things about MTG though.  Right not I'm using WGO but I may just try MTG one day.  Where do you guys buy it?

It seems there is nothing to be scared about after research. Jaya on the other site emailed them (shapley's) about Cancer. (did you see the thread) We were concerned about the paraffin oil being one of the dangerous types. It's one of the safe types though.  They are still working on a formula for people. So by the time you decide, they may have one just for us.

I don't think I saw that thread but I did see the one that pregnant ladies should not use it because of a certain ingredient but I can't remember which one. 

That would be good if they had one for us soon.  I wonder if they would change the formula though.  I read that some were worried about that.

It's a mix of cade oil (that's the bbq smell), sulfur, zinc sulfide, mixed into a petroleum base.  I contacted the company and they confirmed this, also, it's not toxic or harmful, just to those who may have sulfur allergies.

Renata22:  Results vary.  Some people get an inch every 2 weeks, some get an inch a month, and others get 3 inches a month.  Yes, it does encourage growth from the roots.  And in my experience it reduced shedding and breakage.  As for split ends, I only use it on my scalp and I use Carrot Oil on my ends, so I couldn't tell you if it prevents split ends.  HTH!!!

OK, I've done a little research. To those who've used it, what kind of growth do you get?

Does it encourage growth from the roots? Or just keep the ends from breaking?

yes, I'm still using it....but I'm not using it all over.  I'm actually trying to see if it will thickin' up this thin spot.  So I only use there.  I have 2 more weeks and then I'll see.  Frankly, I'm not scared of it anymore after I confirmed what it consisted of and frankly other than the smell, its not harmful.  I don't think they'd have a product on the market to use on an animal that is truly that harmful to humans. Remember a human has to apply it to the animal.  I haven't had a problem yet...but then again, I've only been using it for 2 weeks.

okay.  

I used it for 6 months and I hadn't had any noticeable problems.

Happy growing!!!

what's your verdict on the stuff
