Rapunzel's "Healthy Hair Concept" is based on cellular health.  Healthy hair begins at the cellular level.

Our bodies are made up of 60 trillion eukaryotic cells.  Systemically organized throughout the body, each cell is a living organism, more complex than New York City; made of tiny organs and chemical mechanisms to digest food, reproduce, move, and communicate with other cells.  The following experts lay foundation for Rapunzel's Healthy Hair Concept:

"Your hair is a fairly accurate barometer of your health. Hair cells are some of the fastest growing in the body, and when your body is under stress or in crisis, hair cells can shut down in order to redirect energy elsewhere, to places where it is needed."  From Mary Shomon, Your Guide to Thyroid Disease.  Hair Loss Solutions For Thyroid Patients

"Contrary to those static diagrams of a cell you may remember from high school biology, a eukaryotic cell (cell with a nucleus) is actually a dynamic and intricately ordered living creature, complete with its own set of tiny “organs” and empowered by thousands of chemical mechanisms that enable the cell to digest, reproduce, move and communicate with other cells."  Fighting disease on the cellular level  by Elizabeth Crown, May 30, 2002, Vol. 17, No. 29, Northwestern University, Evanston/Chicago, IL

"All disease results from failed mechanisms within cells."  Robert D. Goldman chairman of cell and molecular biology at the Feinberg School of Medicine.  Northwestern University, Evanston/Chicago, IL

"...every physician has to admit that it is the immune system that keeps a person well.  It's also the immune system that helps you overcome disease."  From "You Can't Improve On God!" video by Lorraine Day, M.D.

Cells are living creatures.  So how do we define "living"?  To be considered "living", an organism must exhibit all "seven life processes"--  must have the ability to move, grow, reproduce, eat, breathe, expel waste, and react.  Optimum health at cellular level is directly related to the operation of these life processes.   Injury or impairment to any of these processes, such as harmful cellular environment, will compromise cellular health resulting in disease.   In other words, life processes, or cell activity, are subject to the exposure of constructive and destructive environments.
