And now post his source for that claim. And if that's your theory, then how do you explain the fact that there are Asian men who do go bald, and Caucasian men who don't?

well asian men in rural japan don't tend to go bald

he's Spencer David Kobren, he doesn't need a source, he's hair loss dude

don't tend or don't? be very careful with what you're saying here. you can't use words like tend in situations like this.

as for SDK, yes he does need a f****ing source. as far as i know, he's not some brilliant scientist with a nobel prize.

Well dammit, i thought his book was a source.

He blatantly says American men have more 5 alpha reductase than Japanese men and hence they have more baldness.

I'm supposed to believe you when you say otherwise?

edit: the rural japan thing was something I read online.

Its nice to try a lot of these things, be open minded and stuff, but seriously, if someone really cares about his hair, he has got to get into proven medications, like propecia and minoxidil. If you want to have a haircut every 2nd of feb its ok, but it is different to just do it, and different to RELY on it to save your hair.

As mentioned these things would be good to do, and may "help" your hair, but not your hairloss. However, ONLY if you are takeing meds like finasteride/dutasteride etc

When I say "may" help, I just mean it might help your hair appear healthier and possibly thicker etc

Ive nothing to back that up with, just my opinion lol

The Iron Thing

So I wanted to check about number 1. Is there any truth to that because I am a Multiple Gallon Blood Donor.
It's supposed to be good for men's heart to have less Iron. Example: Most new men's vitamins don't contain Iron.
Donating keeps it at a pretty low level compared to someone who never donates.
When they do the thing where the blood separates acceptable numbers to donate are btw 42-49. Most men 45 and up. Everytime you donated it goes down one point. I am normally around 43.
Is this a problem???

The higher your iron levels, the higher your risk for a heart attack. Lower iron levels are the reason why women don't suffer as many heart attacks as men until they go through menopause. Men can have as low an incident of heart attacks as women do if they donate blood (I think it was) 2x/year.

make what up?

that 70ng of iron was something i read on many forums as being advised by hair dermatologists as being the absolute minimum for hair regrowth.

in fact, it was stated by one or two that 100ng is the magic number.

How would I know if I am close to that without a test. Should I just figure I am not and take an Iron supplement.

No don't take an iron supplement without getting tested.

Go to your GP and ask for a serum ferritin iron test.

We are only dismissive of other treatments because for hundreds of years people have been saying all kinds of crap that sounds good but doesnt produce serious results. A good diet is something everyone should be doing already, but Ive seen wayy to many balding people to accept diet as stopping hairloss you have to fight it other ways.

I know for absolute certain there are people that eat only strict vegetarian diets that are bald. No cooked fats at all. Look these diet guys have to accept the fact that any diet you can think up has been tried. As hard it is to believe someone can eat nothing but romaine lettuce and a little bean protein for 20 years, someone has done it. There is living proof of bald men that eat like that. Somehow there diet didnt change or slow there hairloss. Everyone should be eating a healthy diet because its good for you not to stop male pattern baldness.

Not stopping male pattern baldness is good for you? :wink:

The problem with the majority of vegans and semi-vegetarians is that they don't realize how unhealthy their diet truly is. Their diet may be high in protein, but it's protein that is not easily accessible to the body.

Another problem is that most vegetarians don't realize how much fat and cholesterol they end up taking in just to adequately supplement their diet and meals. Vegetable oil, cheeses, salad dressings and oils, and the like are overused and incredibly unhealthy.

I know numerous vegans and vegetarians that have done a 3-4 day meal recall that measures how much protein, fat, carbohydrates, and the like you take in and their diet is far unhealthier than mine. Of course, the only meats I ever really eat are turkey, chicken, and fish, but I pretty much blew them out of the water.

Exercise is medicine: the anti-inflammatory effects of high intensity exercise

Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Nov, 2006 by Jade Teta


Exercise is a readily accessible, safe, and inexpensive anti-inflammatory medicine. Inflammation is the body's natural means of stimulating healing, but when continuous and chronic, it becomes damaging and detrimental to health. Properly performed exercise releases signaling molecules that stimulate a unique healing response that couples both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms to repair, regenerate, and grow stronger tissue. Understanding the history and mechanism behind these effects creates new prescriptive opportunities for exercise. Unlike drugs, which have single targets and ignore the web-like interactions in the body, exercise works with the body's innate intelligence to produce broadly beneficial effects that improve whole-body function. High-intensity, short-duration movement that is tailored to the individual, uses short rest periods, and engages the whole body may be the chief means of attaining anti-inflammatory effects from exercise.

The anthropology of hair loss - Medical Anthropology
Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, May, 2003 by Tim Batchelder

[...]

Conclusion

In this column I've discussed some important ways that therapies from other cultures offer solutions for the modern problem of hair loss. Further, we've looked at some of the reasons why loss of hair in modern industrial peoples represents our detachment from the evolutionary environment of our past. Modern Western medical research is also employing such an evolutionary perspective in recent animal field studies of hair loss. For example, the stump-tailed macaque is now considered a superior animal model for studying pattern baldness (Uno 1987) since they have balding patterns similar to that in humans.
