Beto´s story

[Beto]

Hi everybody. Looking for a cure to my MBP. I first exerienced hair loss at 16, that was 1976. After several years on vitamins, aminoacids and lotions, I started on finasteride in 2001. Good results, but my hair loss goes on. Never stopped. I have a theory, that I am sure, will make a great impact on patiens with MBP. But I need the support and work from many people. I think the absolute cure is possible. Stop hair loss and regenerate new hair, with natural ingredients. If you want to hear my theory, let me know. I am sure we´ll win the battle against hair loss.
By the way, I have a bachelor in Agronomy, and a Ph.D. degree from OSU in plant genetics and crop breeding.

regards, beto

ok what is your theory and why haven't you put it into practice?

Ok. Here is my theory.
Many people, included myself, have experienced recurrent periods of very healthy hair, with almost no shedding, with new hair growing stronger day by day. These episodes may last up to a month or so, to give place again to a brittle, thinner, weak hair, with shedding; these "bad" periods may last two to three months (may be more), in which all the treatments seem to fail. Again, some months later, we may experience another episode of "healthy hair". Why is that?. My theory is "food". The food we eat. There must be some molecule (that we are eating in foods) that is stopping hair loss, as long as it is circulating in our bloodstream, or transiently stored in some tissue. Now, which one is this food?. It may be a class of vegetable, or a type of fruit, or some class of meat, may be some milk derived food, who knows what is making the difference. It seems to me that the food/s responsible for these epsodes is/are not very common indeed, otherwise... the episodes of "healthy hair" would last years. Now, how can we identify the food?. By anotating, every single day, what we eat. And how we eat. I here propose that all of you that think that this theory may be true, start doing a diary of our breakfast, lunch and dinner. That´s it. Then, by appliying some statistical techniques (such as time series analysis) we can identify the food by relating the periods of healthy hair, with the periods in which we eat a particular class of food.
( Remember that there are foods that are eaten only during certain periods of the year, specially fruits here in Argentina). I particularly think that those "stational foods" are the key ones.
Who would like to join this project?. At the end, we may find out that it is just watermelon the "magic food", or may be pecan nut or ... who knows what simple stupid food is the magic one. It is clear, that is not some thing that we eat every day, but something rare.
I am already recording my foods, every day, since january first 2007.

some evolutionary theory for hair loss topics

I have read several reports on DHT production blocking substances. It seems that many molecules, from certain aminoacids and vitamins, to oily acids such as linoleic and linolenic, etc, etc, have shown to block 5-alfa-reductase activity in vitro. From these reports, some people have marketed products with the implicit assumption that they will show the same blocking property in vivo. Thing is, this fact is very unlilekly from an evolutionary point of view. Here is my theory: DHT is essential in humans, as it has been shown to have same properties as Testosterone. In fact, it has been said that DHT is just an amplificated Testosterone. The exact regulation of T and DHT (both in time and tissues) is essential for human reproduction, as is involved in the devolopment of sex related organs and functions. A biochemical system such as this, is so critical, that it must have evolved in such a way so as to be protected from blocking by common substances find in vegetables, seed, meat, etc, in short, in common foods. The biochemical system in humans thus, must have evolved some pathways by which potentially blocking substances, are either destroyed or itself blocked by internal molecules to render them safe for the T-DHT system. Wth this in mind, it is merely a useless hope to expect that, for example, linolenic acid, would be an effective 5-alfa-r blocker in vivo, as it is found in basically any vegetable oil you may think of.
