Ive been using Nizoral 1% since about 2003. Im about out, so I went to buy some. Its not at Kroger, not at Food Lion, not at Walgreens pharmacy, not at CVS pharmacy, not at Rite Aid Pharmacy, not at Wal-Mart, and not at Amazon.com, and not at BingShopping. WTF? Where it used to be shelved...

If you want less beard hair or body hair in a particular area, you can mix peppermint oil with water at a roughly 1/40 ratio and apply it to that area. In 3 to 4 months the hair growth will start getting sparse. If you add some lavendar to that concoction (it has been shown to block the human...

Forgot about this study years ago, but thought I'd take another gander at it, and one stat jumped out at me. First the little abstract: Essential oils and low-intensity electromagnetic pulses in the treatment of androgen-dependent alopecia Journal Advances in Therapy Publisher Springer...

That was it JLL. Those were the two guys. I seen that surfin' around the internet googling one night lookin' up stuff about various diets. Its neat stuff (to me). :)

Mister E, Many people who are gluten intolerant (celiac disease---like Elizabeth Hasselback) also become casein intolerant. The two molecules are extremely similar, and when the immune system becomes sensitive to one, it often will become sensitive to the other over time. Celiac disease is...

I'd like to point out that I just posted the article and said that it was "interesting", I didn't say it was a new paradigm in dermatology. :) I agree with Bryan about male pattern baldness-research. They have some pretty neat information, but they often don't really back up some of their more extraneous...

Interesting stuff vauxall. Thanks for posting that. Arison, nice avatar. Fish (salmon and sardines especially) are good sources of vitamin D. I remember reading a while back an old experiment from the 1930's in which two men in the arctic attempted to eat a diet like the eskimos up there...

Blaze..........I shake up the sprayer every time I use it pretty well. I didn't use any alcohol back when I tried the peppermint oil either. Some essential oils supposedly are composed of small molecules and are known for their excellent penetration of the dermis. The room-temperature water...

http://www.hairloss-research.org/LinkUp ... n1-10.html Wheat Consumption Linked to Hair Loss We have been largely programmed to believe that grains, especially whole grains are nothing but good for us. As with much accepted dogma, this is actually a half, or less than a half...

In the mice/green tea, black tea, soy experiments, black tea inhibited 72% of mouse DHT. I was hoping at the time that mice would have similar alpha five reductase distribution as humans do. It would seem that if black tea inhibited both isoforms of the enzyme, that nearly 100% would be...

I know that can be scientifically done, because its been done in experiments, but I dont know if its commerically done by any labs. One thing that I have read about equol that interested me was that when castrated rats were injected with DHT, the equol kept it from having an effect on their...

Egad, Its been over 20 days. Here goes: I got nosy about a month and a half ago to test some of the classic essential oils to see if they could inhibit sebum production on my forehead. I have some sebutape strops from Cu-derm left over. I mixed about 2 mls of each with roughly 60 mls of...
