Dont Call Me Silly, But If Blood Flow Is The Issue..

[ComeBackTemples]

... why is then the solution not erectile dysfunction treatment medications? Apparently this is the approach of minoxidil, so i assume that blood flow circulation medication should in generell be supportiv for hair grow.

I am not thinking of v**** as only approach. For instance you could take Cialis on a daily basis with up to 5mg to improve blood circulation.

Anyone knows if there is a connection Between those medication and hair growth stimulation? Or is the better blood flow focused on the area of male geniales?

Damn - somebody had the idea first

Our study demonstrates for the first time, the significant therapeutic potential of sildenafil on hair growth and its potential use in treatment of alopecia.

The real deal would be getting powder and using it topically. AFAIK no one tried that yet.

You can buy liquid forms here along with aromatase inhibitors as well.

I'm willing to guinee pig for daily cialis / v****. I actually ordered a year supply back when I was testing dutasteride for in case it gave me sides. I ended up not needing it at the time and have been just using it sporadically for when I want to punish my girlfriend.

And the liquid stuff is analog with the pills? So applying that to your head would be a viable approach?

minoxidil doesn't work on hair because of blood flow.

Not exclusively, but Minoxidil definitely improves blood flow around the hair follicle, simply due to the fact that it upregulates VEGF, which is one of the main drivers of angiogenesis (the process of forming blood vessels).

Lurker85 very brave of you and curious about the results and your treatment plan. Any idea how you approach this experiment?

Why are you obscuring "v*****" ? and why not "c*****" ?

He isn't, the forum is.

I like the outside-of-the-box thinking, but, isn't that extremely expensive?

I'm thinking of starting with smaller doses of v**** twice a day. If sides are bad I'll swap to cialis... cialis works for 2 days for me with less sides.

I got a bunch for decently cheap, like 50 cents to a dollar a day.

I see, taking it orally. Definitively an Option, i so not know how they did it for the research paper. Maybe topical is worth considering?

 

[Lurker85]

I took a v**** one time just to see what it would do. Never again! I was so flush, and had a killer headache.

You gotta drink plenty of water and do the right dosage. I have 100mg v**** and 20mg cialis. For the v**** I break it into 33mg dosages, sonetimes less if I didn't eat a lot that day. Cialis I break into 10mg usually, but 5mg seems effective also. My biggest sides are getting stuffed up sinuses and my vision tinting blue.

I was taking cialis daily for a month and I’m talking the real pill at 20/day. It was a phase almost a year ago where I was getting laid daily a lot and let’s not get into this but trust me it was a lot.

Anyway, took the pill. Hair stayed the same (I’m an excellent responder to minoxidil and finasteride although I don’t take them anymore due to sides). But I can assure you of three things: a) my penis literally went 1/2 more in size flaccid, b) my heart didn’t like this pill at all and c) my lower back killed me (I’m talking sharp pains u can’t even imagine and it turns out it’s a common side). So to anyone thinking of taking this pill, know that it should be done with a doctor and at very low doses at first until u get used to it. Know that it has a lot of sides, won’t do sh*t for your hair and it will melt your face kinda like minoxidil does (very mild but it’s thete). Choice is yours.

Other people hang upside down on inversion tables for blood flow and end up with a host of issues (such as diagrammatic hernias and headaches).

Cialis didn’t give you those side effects, incorrect dosing did. 20mg/ day is way too much, 10/mg every 3 days would have been effective without those sides you mentioned. When taking these drugs, you should only be using the lowest effective dose, not just a random dose. You should have been slowly reducing your dosage until you reach your lowest effective dose, then stay there.

Applying Cayenne extract right after dermaneedling induces the heaviest blood flow you can get, very painful and effective. I have grown new hairs all over my bare crown (not on temples), can't attribute that to Cayenne alone but I think its a major booster. Cayenne has similar properties to minoxidil. Nitrates Oxide is the vasodilator main component of minoxidil. Its natural production in body is induced by Cayenne. From a quick search Cayenne also seems to upregulate VEGF mentioned by whatever.

Other treatments to try: Ginkgo Bilbao orally or topically, LED or Laser helmet, Scalp tension relaxer.
