This makes it very clear how the contact - distance - theme is at play. You couldn't avoid the contact to the patient, therefore the skin had a reaction of rejection for "detoxification". Alopecia is described as an "autoimmune disease", the immune cells are carrying out the "tissue minus" reaction. And this is connected to the fear of infection from viruses. Working with these fears (which are created in the head) and towards self-confidence will calm down such responses.
