A really good article on hair loss

[flux]

I just came across this article, it seems like its a bit old, but its very informative! While there is a bodybuilding/steriod slant, for the most part he talks about how DHT is just a contributing factor, and how anti-inflamitories play a key role in hair growth.

A couple noteables, he reccomends taking 1.25mg finasteride/day AND 5mg every 5-7 days! Thats quite a bit. He also talks about RU 58841, and makes it sound pretty damned good. He also gives an example regimen of finasteride/Min/nizoral and Folligen.

Here you go!

All in all, its a very good article, definitely one to bookmark!

Good article. Does anyone know where RU58841 is available. I know its not out yet but I am willing to pay some $$ if i can get my hands on it.

that seems like a promotional tool to sell more of that stuff when it comes outa lot of people do things like that to sell their product.. even by hiring people to praise it. until i see research and success stories, i'd think of considering it

Flux, I read that the other day! Weird we're on the same brainwave.

Anyway, great articale and it really makes RU sound like the bomb doesn't it?

The article, although interesting and a decent summary of some of the information you'll find elsewhere on this site, is based a lot on personal experience and no scientific backing. In addition, the article is copyrighted from 1996, a year before FDA approval of 1 mg finasteride for the treatment of hair loss. Thus the advice of taking 1.25 mg portions daily and 5 mg proportions in fixed intervals came before the release of the 2 year Propecia study. In addition, this advice comes from the personal experience of a personal trainer, advice that should probably taken with a grain of salt.

True, but the point made, that inflamation / irritation is an overlooked factor in male pattern baldness, sounds spot on. I think I'm going to add Emu Oil to my regimen to ensure a calm scalp.

So far, I've found T/Gel to be great for the inflammation. After two or so weeks of using Nizoral and T/Sal to no effect, I switched to T/Gel last week and have yet to experience any scalp irritations.

Yes, that's an oldie but a goodie. RichLocks was supposed to be getting his hands on some RU, I wonder how that panned out for him.

Richlocks is dead. The Russians found out he was trying to get his hands on the RU. They set him up. They f#cking set him up. This whole thing has been a set up since day one.

Damn Russians. So they don't want us to have any of their precious RU huh.. There has to be a way.

Will writes for MuscleMag International and that article is a little dated. Still some pretty good info in the sense that it gives some hope and isnt all gloom and doom. Thats exactly more of what we need to hear.
