Reading research is coping. I read studies on Finasteride - it helps in 90% of cases. Duta helps in 90% of cases. Bicalutamide is more powerful than both of them combined and has been successful in treating female pattern baldness (although I couldn't find any success stories of women with Bicalutamide when I tried searching on Reddit). Research into treatments for baldness is a parallel reality.
But when we return from research to reality, we do not see such results. Research is being done on balding boomers, and keeping a toilet rim on their head is considered a success. Let's do a study on those who started going bald at 16 and see what percentage can get back to NW0 lol.
The only thing that can be 90% effective is HRT.
